THE NEW HEBRIDES.
London, Augnit 25. I There is a growing impression m England that ihe Government intend to disregard the protests of the Australian colonies against the occupation of the New Hebrides by France. London, August 26. The Pope and the Propaganda have forestalled the Protestant missionary organisation, m accepting the offer of the New South Wales Government of 350,000 acres of land to any mission having for its object the civilisation of the natives. The French journal, "Le Paris," m an article on the New Hebrides question, says that the agreement concerning the control of those islands awaits the j exchange of signatures. It considers that a joint naval protection would result m continual conflict, and resents the withdrawal of France m obedience to the yelling of the Australian colonies.
