PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

"We are assured," says the Union, " that the
French Government intends to leave in the waters
of China all the gunboats now collected there,
together with a corps of marines, until the treaty
concluded at Tien-Tsing shall be completely exe-
cuted."

Count and Countess de Morny have arrived at
Biarritz.

The Gazette de France has made a notable dis-
,povery, which it gravely expounds in an ill-natured
artice egainst England. Being strongly in favour
of peace, and feeling convinced that the best mode
to induce England to avoid a rupture with
France is to prove she would infallibly be
worsted in any naval encounter. The Gazette
proceeds to demonstrate its assertion ; and,
in doing so, lights on the original idea of
getting Zouaves and Chasseurs de Vincennes to take
the English line-of-battle ships by boarding ! As
to the feasibility of the plan, our contemporary does
not seem to entertain the slightest doubt, as will
be seen from the following extract :—" Whenever
the French have been able to attempt the boarding
of an English man-of-war they have taken it. In
consequence, in the construction of vessels, English
builders have endeavoured to render boarding
more difficUlt, by making them larger below than
above, .so as that there may be a considerable
distance between the gunwales of the rival
vessels. If' a maritime war were to break out, the
Military superiority of France would necessarily
give her the advantage over England, who has no
soldiers; and .who cannot even find enough to re-
conquer India, the empire which has become neces-
sary, not only to her commerce but to the mainte-
nance of her constitution. We would make war on
sea as on land.' We• would take her liners in double
quick time, as we do redoubts and entrenched
camps. A battalion of Zouaves or of Chasseurs de
Vineennes,thrown on to a three•decker, would soon
be masters of her, and at the end of the war we
could. reckon up-the number of line-of-battle-ships
which each, country would possess. Boarding is
what would decide the question of preponder-
ance between the two nations ; and that
is so much the French way of making
war, that, at. the very beginning of the conflict,
England herself might easily be taken by the ,
boarding of our heroic soldiers. We examine these
hypotheses, not to embitter our neighbourly rela-
tions with England, or to menace or humiliate
our allies, but to show them that a rupture on
their part-would, be sheer madness ; 'to prove also
that it is an established fact in politics that the
best means.of consolidating peace is to demonstrate
to those who may be tempted to trouble it the
impossibility of sustaining a conflict with an
equality of chances, which is the least that can be
hoped for in war. Our readers will therefore find
in the considerations which precede an additional
reason for entertaining confidence in the duration
of peace."
