THE TUNIS TROUBLE.
Progress of the Campaign Against
the KrOumirs.

LONDON, May 3.-A Tunis dispatch, dated
Monday, May I'd, to Reuters Telegram
Company, says: "The advance of the
French troops causes intense excitement
among the Tunisian tribes against the Bey's
Government for having forbidden all resist
ance to it on the plea that the French would
only operate against the Kroumirs. The
French are expected to Immediately occupy
Porto Farna, twenty five miles distant from
the town of Tunis."
PARIS, May 3.-Two thousand French
troops have landed at Biserta The reason
assigned for the occupation of that place is
that it was the centre from which the Krou
Mrs drew their provisions, and that its oc-
cupation will complete the blockade of the
Kroumirs and facilitate the revictualling of
the French forces.

of the land bill.
LONDON, May 3.-In the House of Com
mons to day Mr.. Justin Mccarthy gave
notice that he would move at an
early day that the action of the
Irish Executive In arbitrarily arresting
a member Of Parliament, and proclaiming
the city of Dublin, is an abuse of powers
granted by the coercion act, and is calcu-
lated to arouse dissffection and mar the re-
suits of remedial proposals.
In the House of Commons to-day Sir
Charles W. Dixie, Under Foreign Secreta Y,
said the government were aware of the inn
portance of B'zerta but were doubtful
whether even large expidecture of money
on dredging would make it available
as harbor. The permanent occupation of
Bizerta, he said, would be quite outside
the scope of the objects of the French ex-
pedition as they were stated to Lord Lyons
by M. Barthelmy St. Hilaie, the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The DAILY NeaOs says "If we are correctly
informed, Prince Bismarck, or whoever is
striving to bring about a conference for the
purpose OF deVlslhg more stringent mode
of dealing with political conspirators,
has sent an invitation to England,
and has thus imprudently invited refusal,
as England, following the example of
France, will certainly not participate in any
conference designed to shield unpopular
governments from the consequences of their
unpopularity."
Negotiations for a new Anglo French
commercial treaty begin to attract great at
tention. The existing treaty will expire six
months after the PRONUNCIATION of the
French tariff law, which will take place
this week, SO that the treaty will lapse in No
vember unless new treaty is concluded and
ratified now before the dissolution of the
Chamber Of Deputies. England will, in
November, be confronted with a general
tariff which will be almost prohibitive.
Her only means of self protection
then will be retaliatory duties
on French wines, brandy, silk aud
articles de Paris. The British agent has
been in Paris for some time ascertaining the
exact effect on British manufactures of the
new basis on which the French seem willing
to negotiate a treaty. Until his report is
received England will not probably open
formal negotiation on the subiect
