The New Hebrides
Our telegrams to-day show that the alarm anent the supposed occupation by the French of the New Hebrides island was entirely groundless. Although a great deal of fuss has been made, and some highfalutin talk indulged in by our Australian neighbors, yet on the whole we think what has been done and said will have a good result inasmuch as it will show, to the Home Government as woll as foreign powers how sensitive the colonies are on anything like dangerous encroachments on territory in which they have the least real or imaginary rights, by a power which may at any future time be at war with Great Britain.
