We made mention in our last of the Captain and officers of the Monocacy being here in company with the U. S. Consul, to call on His Excellency the Viceroy. They were received in royal style. A line of soldiers was drawn up along either side of the passage-way leading to His Excellency's court. On their arrival at the court, they were received by the Viceroy and entertained just three minutes by the watch, when they were invited into an adjoining room where some dainties and tea had been provided for them, ana polite way of saying: "have been pleased to see you, now you may be going." It is said by the natives to have been the most elaborate display provided by the present Viceroy for the reception of his foreign guests. From the Viceroy's the company repaired to the Foreign Office, in charge of Taotai Tsia here they were received and feasted to their hearts' content.
