FRANCE.

It does not appear that the order of recall has
yet been sent to the French fleet at Gaeta.
Here they are waiting for reports from the com-
manders of corps before deciding on the return of
all or part of the French army in China.

It seems that in Cochin China France limits
itself to maintaining the occupation of Saigan (or
Saigong), with a small belt of territory, without
any view to further acquisition or conquest.
