The question of China will be the first on the ros-
ter when the Chambers assemble in ten days. II
is conceded that the moment has arrived to tear
asunder all wells to put aside whispers and demi-
and nothing but the truth. The Fournier treaty
Of Tien Tsin, which M. Ferry declared was so mar
vellous, has never yet been communicated to Par

date was fixed for the evacuation of Bac lie. We
have only as set of, n. Ferry's declarations and
the severe reprimand administered to the officer
BY the Minister of War, who attacked the Chinese.
This is hardly satisfactory for impartial French
men, who may have to pay with their blood and

The Ministry desires to make peace with
China: that which seems to strengthen the belief,
France is engaged in hostilities with her. Khelung

go millions demanded for the mutual laundering
before Bac lie. And Formosa will be held as a
guarantee. Pity NJ. Ferry did not commence by

card to play; the Attias and the Tamerlanes of the
official press urge the immediate wiping out of the
Celestials. But the latter show no disposition to
knuckle down, and peace cannot be made without
them. They can close their ports against French
ships-few the latter be; they can keep singing
away at Tonquin: may fit out Alabamas, or bring
about complications over the right of search.

NJ. Ferry longs pasunately for his e1trioatiou, TO

''PERFIDE ALBION
England may rest assured France will never GO

She knows what that madness would cost. But
the rage is not the less boiling at the complete in
difference with which England views the indignant
protests of France. The RepHJliqne FraHedise,
official organ number one, menaces John Bull with

and the heading march on London, of the Home
