FRENCH INTRAFIRRNCE WITH THE PRESS
IN SIAM.

(From the London and China Telegraph, August 8.)
We hear, says the Siam Times of the Bth June,
that the French otemml has been acing his best endeavours
to seems the sappressioa of the two sewspepers published
is Minima. (Both these newspapers are published in the
English language.) It seems to us that he must be beside
himself to suppose thee he can bring madame premium to
bear in any quarter to acoomplish mob an object. The
publishers of them papers are not under either Freach or
Siamese control. If the editors or proprietors violate any
law or treaty affecting Fromeh interests, bo ha. his
vemedy
la the United [Metes Consular Court. We respectfully rub-
mit whether, if reports are true, °oncoming the course he
has taken, it dose net fully 'confirm our remarks of last
week, on " French Policy in Sum."
The grouude of this reported demand appear to be the
general lose of the political comments made by the papers
in question, the Siam Times sad the acishok Recorder,
on the French progress in Cochin Chios, mid mom particu-
larly the publishieg of the recent treaty obtained by the
Free& from the government of Siam. We othjoin the
concluding portion of the article, "French Polity in Bism,"
which seems to bays brought IL &Wont's wrath to •
acme Happily we haws the record ef the crowning
act of the French to separate Cambodie from Sims. This
record is the treaty negotiated by the Preach anal with
the Prime YisiiMe, and signed oe the 14th of April last.
By some good providence this treaty cause into the
heeds of the conductors of the peer, was trasalated,
and published. The publicatioa of this treaty and
of the agreseneet with the spirit fame for the sale
of French liquors seems to have given great offence
to the French consul. So great seems to have been
his chagrin or anger, that we hear he hse had the folly to
call on the Siamese government to supprom the papers
which published them. What Manion Aubsret's ideas
are of the power of the Semen government over news-
published by foreigners in the kingdom we do not
rsow, but we apprehend ha mart be ill-informed, blinded
with pride and vanity, or puffed up with gnat ideas of his
ewe power and hoportamee, la suppose that the pott ication
of the treaty and agreement am be need as • pretext for
suppreseiog newsmen. But why this vexation, anger,

it the true ass! W doubt it. We appre-
