lest CT Asiatic empires is likely to bring
in its train many wretched results. Not
only will it, if long continued, be at
tended with slaughter and desolation,
but 1t will greatly impede the COM
merco of the rest of the world with
China; it will impcrll the property and
the lives of the Europeans resident in
Chinese ports; and it will render the
position of Christian missionaries one
of near and great danger.
Nor is this all. A var between these
two powers may lead to a still greater
contlagration. A quarrel may easily
arise out of it between several of the
European powers themselves. Inter-
national rights may be violated and
national iealousles aroused, so as to
embroil Europe in a conflict the end Of
which no II could pretend to foresee.
The event, therefore, is a misfortune
OF the world, which will once more
have to deplore the restless and grasp
inc ambition which seeks territory and
gain by The savage method of warfare.

The Franc0-C chinese War.

The bombardmcnt of Foo Chow, in
China, by the French fleet on the TWEEN
Sy-fourth OF August, was the signal for
the opening of a war between the
French Republic and the Chinese En-
pire. Whether the struggle will be long
OF short can not. at this time ii writ
ing, be easily foreseen.
During more than a year, the atten-
ton OF the world has been called to the
difficulties between the + rench and the
Chinese. For many months those ma
tons have been on the verge of the hos
tilities which have now at last begun.
The cause of the trouble is to be found
in the ambition of the French to obtain
control Of Tonquin, the northern prov
ince of AMMAN, a State which has long
been tributary to China. France had
secured a treaty with a King of AMMAN
some years before; and it was under
this treaty that she claimed
the right to establish herself
throughout the peninsula. Several
months ago France resolved TO main.
tain this claim by force Of arms. She
sent IA small army and fleet to the
Asiatic seas, and proceeded to the con-
quest OF Tonquin. The French were
resisted i'll this by semi-barbarous
bands of natives, who were really law
less %brigands, and who were called, or
called themselves, the 'sBlack Flags"
The result OF this irregular warfare was
that the French troops and gunboats
advanced up the valley Of the Sang
Ko!, the principal water way of Ton
quin, and i'll course OF time captured
the two most important Of its fortresses,
HANOI and Rac-Ninh. AT Bac-Ninh,
which is the military key of the coun-
try, the French encountered, not the
''Black Flags" but regular Chinese
troops. China from first to last had
protested against the French invasion
of Tonquin, and had threatened more
than once to make it q cause of war.
But when the French had at last
completed their conquest, the Chi
nese not only did not resist it,
but they made a treaty with France,
confirming her in the possession OF the
country conquered. and agreeing to
pay France an indemnity of fifteen
million dollars. The French then adj
yanccd to the Tonquin and Chinese
frontier, to occupy the fortresses there.
At one OF these 1ortresses, that of Lang
Sop, they We're resisted and rcpulsed
blythe Chinese garrison which held it.
1t appeared that, after the treaty had
been made, the rarty hostile to the
French in China came into power.
The new Chinese ministers seem 10
have resolved that the treaty should
not be carried out. and apparently the
resistance of the Chinese at Lang Son
was the result OF this change Of policy.
The next step of the french was TO
sci c one Of the ports of the island OF
Formosa, III the Chinese waters; and
wkfn this did not prove etlectual they
wentfurthcr, and proceeded TO lombard
the town Of Foo Chow. Thi. constituted
an act OF wal and VAS followed up by
the hosti.ities which have since oc-
Cured.
