To read the cool state- ment, for instance, that Singapore can look out for herself, makos an Englishman blush for his country, and wonder whither the old British spirit has gone. It is not altogether clear to us ut the half-heartedness of the Head of the Hongkong Executivo inay not have rensted upon the unfortunate sister Colony of the Straits. But while tho colonists of Singapore-unny accept the hearty sympathy of their countrymen and residents generally in Hongkong, they will doubtless set to work with a will to do for themselves what a degenerate Administration declines to do for them.

THE telegram to which we referred in our Extra of this morning, to the effect. that the formal evacuation of Formosa and the Pescadores by the French Forces, and of Tonquin by the Chi- nese, was to be effected by the 15th instant, fully bears out the highest ex- pectations concerning the fair execution of the Treaty of Peace entered into be tween these two Powers. There is no likelihood, so far as our information goas, of any difficulty arising in carry- ing out the details of the Convention. The dute given appears to he soma-
all the pluces mentioned ; but it is be lieved that there is little danger of a recurrence of the unfortunate misunder- starding which led to the disaster of Bac-le and the subsequent hostilities.
