CHINA AGAIN ATTACKED.
France Makes an Onslaught on the Min
and Defeats the Chinese.

LONDON, Sept. II.
A despatch just received from Foo Chow
says that the French fleet suddenly appeared
at the mouth of the Min river this morning,
and after landing 2000 marines, began to
destroy the forttication at Kinpal pass, which
had been repaired since the recent lombard
ment. The landing party attacked the Chi
nese camps in the vicinity, and after desper-
ate fighting the Chinese were defeated with
great loss. The French vessels were largely
outnumbered, but the shells from the French
men of war did such effective execution that
the Chinese were soon compelled to abandon
their works, and being dismayed at the
onslaught of the land forces, retreated up the
river in confusion. 1t is expected that the
French forces will follow up the victory and
entirely rid the Min river of the Chinese from
the mouth to the arsenal.
