A British Protest.

Our Canton correspondent writes:- It has long been

privately known that Prefect Hsueh Yin-wen, of the Bureau of

Foreign Affairs in Canton, has been stationed in Hongkong in

order to examine all Chinese emigrants who leave there for Peru. The fact having come to the knowledge of the Government of

Hongkong, the latter has informed the authorities in Canton

that no agreement exists between the British and Chinese

Government which sanctions the residence in wongkong per-

-manently of an official of the Chinese Government. The Hong-

-kong authorities consequently lodged a protest with the

Viceroy of Canton, at the same time pointing out that steamers

taking emigrants to Peru leave the Colony at very irregular

intervals and therefore Mr. Hsueh's permanent residence was

unnecessary. There would be no objection to Mr. Hsuch visiting

Hongkong on the occasion of the steamor being about to leave for

Peru.
