says the Chinese officials explain that they first
fired over the British gunboat Zephyr, and fred
directly at her afterwards because she refused
to stop at the first shot
Advices from China state the Chinese have no
intention of blocking the Woo Sung river, on
which Shanghai is situated, unless the French
make an attack. Hundreds of stone laden
boats are in position to be sunk on the approach
of the French fleet. 1t is believed that neutral
powers viii seriously object TO the closing Of
this river, unless formal declaration Of war
shall have been previously made.

Shanghai intriguing with the peace party
among the Chinese. His hope is to bring about
revolution at the palace and the consequent
overthrow of the war party.

miral Courbet's plan of campaign now is sup
posed to be to flank Kelung and march upon
