PARIS, November 9s.-Ferry, Prime Min.
lister and Minister OF Foreign Affairs, Gen.
eral Campenon, Minister Of War, and
Admiral Peyron, Minister of Marine, at.
tended meeting to-day Of the Deputies
committee upon the Tonquin credits.
Ferry impaired to the committee the text
Of the Chinese memorandum. The com.
mittee unanimously approved the French
reply, and decided It unnecessary to bring
the matter before the Chamber prior to the
debate on the Tonquin credits because,
first, there existed no diplomatic rupture,
and second, the government had promised
the yellow book should contain the memo
randum and reply Of the Chinese. The
memorandum stated that France had i'm
posed upon the Government oI AMMAN an
unjust treaty, and had ignored the rights Of
China. France invaded AMMAN and mani
tested an intention to take Bacnincb, the
key to the Chinese empire. China de-
sired, nevertheless, TO maintain pacific re-
lations with France, but the Chinese troops
would be compelled to resist aggression.
The French reply declared the French had
no wish to annex AMMAN or Topquin;
that the sole object Of the Hue treaty was !
to define the terms Of the treaty of1ST4;
that in order 10 consolidate the protector.

Of tse question on these
baes from which France had never /
swerved, and which was indicated in the

addressed note 10 Marquis Tseng, the
Ambassador OF China, in which he made
suggestions that special powers bs enlrusE.
ed to military chiefs for the purpose OF
offering an understanding by which China
Bacninh and son,ay peace
fully to Admiral Curbet, and lcfnitive
settlement could be negotiated afterwards. :
The above note crossed one from Marquis
Tseng, drawing attention to the fact tnat
French troops were then present in Tom
quin, but without defining their locIlity.
Tseng afterwards declined theprcposal Of
Ferry, but the latter believes tho Ambas. :
