Macao, January 18th. It was rumoured inst week that we were shortly to be victimised by some new dalles, but no details have transpired as to what articles are to be taxed, or to what extent. This squeer ing of the ritepayers for the sole benefit of the metropolitan government is a real grievance, which only grows more and more acute as the years go by; yet nothing I ever done to com- bat it.
