Captain Courrejolles rejoices in a very long Mtfal designation. He is " Capi* de vaismii" and " Chef de la Hwon Namle de f Ocean Pacifiqw" Bng enough title in all consoience Hiuk any ordinary man-o'-war, But B " Duguay Trouin " is no ordinary she is the largest foreign ■ur ship that has ever sailed into fort Nicholson, She is hideous of lhape, and dingy of colour, but she is heavily armed with the latest artillery machine guns and torpedo discharging apparatus, The "Duguay Trouin" would, in point of armament, bu more than a match for any British warship on this station, with perhaps the exception of the •'Orlando," Secondly in view of the recent disclosures at home as to our naval weaknesses it was a singular faot tho " Duguay Trouin" should be wandering up and down the.coasts of these colonies with the excellent opportunities' wl»uli jthe British alxvayfl. jo Jriiiy give, to spy out the weak spots in ouij costal defences, Not that it mustjbe. beloved for a moment that the" Duguay Trouin " was here with anything but the most friendly intentions, (but still the faot remains that she Was a long way off her regular station for no particular reason, However, the Frenchmen were made heartily /welcome, and if it ever should unfortunately happen that the " Duguapr Trouin " should visit this port again in any other capacity thaa aa a.friendly visitor it is to be hoped tho Commodore will bear in mind the kindly feeling which was shown towards bim on hiß former visit.
