THE MAIL SUBSIDY, ——— Cobaini-Buereturg'a-Olien

As we remarked a few days ago, the British Government would probably raise little objection to the acquisition of Hainan by France, if such a step, were really in con- templation. The assurances of our rookie contemporary notwithstanding, however, wo do not believe the French Goverment have any intention of asking for the island If they were negotiating for such a cun cussion, they would hardly, we think, be withdrawing a large part of their alrendy Bleader Exopean tres from Indo Chinn, which is actually the fact. Our Gallie friends are not so bully informed but that they have ascertained the probable cap bilities and known resources of the island in question. They are aware that beyond the breeding of pigs and poultry, the pro duction of betel and cocon-nut, it produces little for export, and that its receptive territorial aggrandisement at the expense of power as a market for importa is very Chinn, nor would England now with limited (udeza.
