CONGRATULATIONS. [Reuter’s Telegrams.) Hong Kong, August 27. It has transpired that Admiral Peyron telegraphed to Admiral Courbett congratulating the latter upon success. August 28. Intelligence has been received that the French fleet has completely destroyed all the Chinese defences along the banks of the Min River up to Foochow. A serious outbreak of popular feeling has occurred at Canton. A large mob proceeded to the French Consulate and the merchants’ offices, and forcibly expelled the Consul and his officials and merchants from the city. The populace also invaded the cathedral, but the edifice was eventually cleared by troops. The various European Consuls at Canton have since induced the Bishop and those attached to his mission to leave the city.
