OUR FRENCH LETTER.
Especial correspondence of the HpaA1D)
PARIS. December 20. 18S8.

at least, in the craze for colonization
it commences to strike the national
mind, that all greatness entails ex-
pense. De Brazza is at Havre, ready
to set sail for the Congo, and take
possession of King Makoko's posses
slons, that that ebony potentate
signed away out of christian love
for the white man, who did not
come, armed Robinson Cruso like,as
Stanley generally makes his cent,
otdi, oici, The parliament has not
voted sufficient funds, and so de
Brazza rests on his oars. ct France
ever claimed to be rich enough to
pay for her glory. De Brazza
appears then to be right, when he
observed in his valadictory address
to the municipality OF Paris, that
his greatest difficulties were here.
AS for Madagascar, there is certainly
a ten minutes stop for refreshments
also. To bring the Queen Of the
Houras to make good any damage
inflicted by her loving subjects on
French residents, is but natural;
but to treat her majesty as a Kreu-
mir expedition, winding up by sign
ing away her dominions, on the
money or your life rate of business,
does not look well. a Sec
ond BaIdo treaty within -
years might be too strong for many
stomachs. The pace is what kills.
AS for the Tonkin expedition, the
very idea has almost provoked APP
poplectic fit number two with NJ.
Grevy, who views that as another
Mexican expedition, while the
throwing cold water on the details
of the project worked the minister
of marine up to such a pitch of ex-
asperation that he threw his plan
into the FIRE, till his colleague, NJ. de
Many, pulled it out at the expense
of burning his coat-tails. The ideal
of cutting into the Chinese empire
by AMMAN, or posing for the part
of universal legatee of the heather
Chinee, is a day dream neither Cor
