Government and public opinion. To this end it tries to analyse my letter published in your edition of the zand August. It commences by referring to that portion of my letter in which I made mention of the purchase by the French of a site in Cous, near Macao. The writer states: "50 that the boundaries of Macao not being yet defined and having the Portuguese Govern. inent their delegate in Peking to treat on this Dispatches from Wuchou, on the Wes, river, question, the French and Commendador Basto, Kwangsi provlace, to hand report that both their consular agent, of their own accord define Wang Chih-ch'un (new) and Ting Chen to our boundaries and go and purchase a site in a (retired), Governors of Kwangsi are sat place where Portugal desires for herself and Wuchou with their respective troops and whose possession she claims." Now, what has retainers, who total up to nearly 14,007 men the Macao Delimitation Mission or the design all told. This sudden infus, coupled with the of the Portuguese Government on Coussá, inundations culling off the usual supplies, have or yet over the whole island of Heung-shan to caused the prices of all edibles, etc,, to become, do with the sale of a private property? The abnormally high, much to the disgust of the writer must have certainly lost hold of his inhabitants.
