I be lieve he will shake the dust of Macau from his feet in December. What a blessing for Macao! It is also reported that a certain Cap taia Rosa is coming out from the Empress of the Atlantic as Governor of Macao and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Flowery Land. It is fer- vently to be hoped that he will be able to obtain from China, by hook or by crook, a treaty of peace on a sensible, practical, and properly defined basis if he be the man appointed to rule over us. But-there is always a but in these matters he is a Captain of the Army of Portugal and our past experiences of politicians recruited ALL KINDS OF AUTUMN AND WINTER from the ranks of the military are the reverse of I strongly incline to the view that encouraging a Minister Plenipotentiary to China should never soil his fect in this "Gehenna of the waters;" he should take a course direct from the Tagus to Tientsin without even passing through Macao,

The Lisbon newspapers are severe in their condemnation of the extraordinary proceedings of Monsieur da Graça in Japan-and not without Ruse. Whether it be the rising spirit of repub licanism, or merely the interests of truth and just ice, that prompt the press of the capital to pursue such a decided atrain of independent and fearless criticism, I am unable to say, but the fact remains that the eccentric diplomacy of the Governor of Maçao has been most mercilessly exposed.
