THE NEW HEBRIDES.
A debate on the colonial question took place to day m the Chamber of Deputies. M. Freepple (sic), m a speech on the occasion, stated that the former missiort of France to unite the New Hebrides and New Caledonia had been partially resumed. He urged that the occupation of the New Hebrides must become permanent, and that the claim of England and Australia to the islands was unwarranted. He advised the Government to appe?si the fears of the people of Australia that a convict station would be formed m the New Hebrides, by giving an absolute promise to the contrary, and he counselled the establishment of a protectorate over the Solomon Group and the whole of the Society Islands.
