Despatch and other documents published in this issary that the substance or the effect of that precious State paper bas already been given. The result of the unnatural and secret alliance between the Dicials and noticials which paction we have steadily and per sistently denounced-is, that the hopes entertaised of any adequate representa- tion are less now ebau they were tes or fifteen years ago. No one can describe the so-called concession of the Despatcli ng anything but no insult to the intel igence of the British community. It is The not to be wondered at why these documents were suppressed, as they contain fallacies, choked arguments, and strings of specious reasoning that would bave done credit to the lying and word-twisting system which existed in bigh vicial quarters here Bethe eighteen years ago. We have neither time nor space to deal at length with those bistorial documents at Gover- present; but surely the bor and his offical and anofficial friends are to be congratulated upon and more their seeming victory, especially upon the secret and utterly un-British way in which the victory has been achieved. The Colonial Sec- retary doubtless believes he has done the State some service, and perhaps the residents of Hongkong may entertain an opinion quito the verse.
