DESTRUCTION OF CHINESE DEFENCES.
POPULAR OUTBREAK AT CANTON,
(Received August 29, 1.45 p.m.) HONG KONG. August 28. Intelligence has been received here that the French fleet have completely destroyed all the Chinese defences along the banks of the Mm river up to Foochow. A serious outbreak of popular feeling has occurred at Canton. A Ir.rge mob proceeded to the French Consulate and the tea merchants' offices, and forcibly expelled the Consul and his officials, and the merchants from the city. They also invaded the cathedral, but the edifice was eventually cleared by the troops. The various European Consuls at Canton have since induced the Bishop and those attached to the missions to leave the city.
