FRANCE,


PARIS Sept. 2.--The MoniteIr, the official
organ of the government, in its last issue has
an article on the state of Europe. As an indi-
cation Of peace it points to the significant fact
that the number of men on leave of absence
from the French army was never greater than
at present.
The Convention appointed to settle the
claims of the holders of Franco Mexican bonds
have decided to pay over 80 per cent. of their

LONDON. Sept 2.-The Times to-day devotes
its leading columns TO long analysis of the
treaty recently concluded by the United States
government with the Emperor of China
TIN ough the embassy now visiting America
with Mr.. Burlingame at its head. The Times
saws England is more interested in China than
any other power. Her commerce with that
country is larger, and since the treaty of Pc
kin her relation with its government have been
more friendly. She assisted the Imperial au-
thorities in putting down the TAPPING rebellion.
England is the proper power for China to en-
ploy as a medium for revising her treaties with
other nations, but this treaty with the United
States aiming to restore the old exclusive poll
cy has been rightly entrusted to the manipu-
laton OF foreign cOunsellors who advise what
is impossible, the restoration of retrograde
system. The writer theu proceeds to dssect
one by one the articles of the new treaty. He
calls attention to the fact that China obtains
no concession from the United States. On the
other hand the latter gains the monopoly of
the railroad and telegraph Improvements. This
is OF itself a sufficient objection. to the treaty,
yet the question may be asked is it wise for
England to multiply the differences with
America on such grounds as this. The article
concludes as follows: 1--WE are bound to say
with convic ion that there is more underneath
these negotiations than appears on their sur
face. They bear distinct traces of foreign in
spration. 1t is our belief that this mission
did not originate with the Chinese government
The idea Of enlising Mr. Bnrlnsame as re
cruit for the furthering of the Chinese, 30
tar from being spontaneous emanated from
foreign brain, and was suggested by tho de-
parture from China of the American Minister,
which was drawing near at the time the plan
was formed. No doubt the proposition was
joytully welcomed by the Ministers of the
Chinese Emperor, who, having one object at
heart, gave one instruction to their Ambassa-
doris, viz: Stop all progress. As for the pres

RIoTINa AND BLooDsHED.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug 81 Saturday night
about twelve O'Clock riot occurred in a drink
ing saloon in Hampton, between a white man
named Tibbetts, and some colored men. Both
parties had been drinking, and from words
they soon came to blows. Ten minutes after
the disturbance began between 300 and 400
blacks were in the street. Much riotihg ensu-
ed, and several whites were severely handled
Bricks, stones and other missiles were thrown
at the people and their houses. Disorder pre-
vailed until Sunday morning when the militia
ry, which had been previously sent for arrived.
Capt. Putnam, who commanded the troops
ordered the negroes to disperse, but they paid
no attention to him whatever. He repeated
the order, and finding his word had no effect
ordered his troops to fire upon the rioters
Whether any serious damage was done by the
volley we have not been able to ascertain, but
up to this time none is reported. ~
Another riot on small scale but with quite
serious results occurred at Mill Creek, about a
mile from the Fort on the road to Hampton
between four soldiers and number of negroes.
Both parties had been drinking, and as soldiers
have no love for negroes, free fight was in
dulged in. One negro shot soldier, and the
rest followed his example. Four of them re-
ceved wounds, but fortunately no. very seri-
GUS ones. Three of the negroes were subse-
quently arrested, but the fourth, who attempt
ed to escape, was shot, badly wounded and Sc

Commissioner Rollins has telegraphed to
New York that he will not appear either per-
