French Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, November 21th.-In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day, NJ. Leroy read a report
from the Tonquin Committee, advising the
Chamber to adopt the Tonquin credits, and
urging the necessity of efforts for occupying
the provinces in the north of Tonquin.
[Cheers and signs of dissent The Cham
Der then passed vote of urgency, and pro-
nounced for an immediate discussion.
Cfemenceau thereupon attacked the Gov
eminent and denounced the Minister whose
optimism had committed SO many diplo
matte and military faults since the signing
of the Tien-Tsin convention. He said
Ferry had committed veritable political
crime in refusing to make peace upon the
basis of that convention, and in declining
the Chinese indemnity of 100000 taels-
France, Clemeneeau said, did wrong in
accepting the mediation of England for
the latter's disinterestedness was open to
suspicion. He said Bismarck was the
most dangerous enemy, but was
still more dangerous as friend.
1t was necessary to beware at least. French
dignity and honor should not be compro-
missed. Clemenceau insisted that peace
with China was still possible. and expressed
the belief that Ferry's version OF the Chi
nese terms was inaccurate. Ferry has pro-
tested at being insulted. Clemenceau con-
cIuded by saying that if the Chamber de-
sired a policy of action it ought to make a
sufficient credit to enable the Government
TO declare war now, and not postpone the
capture of Pekin until after the elections.
! The faults that had been hitherto commit
| ted by isolated persons, if continued, will
become the fault of the Republican party.
| [Cheers.l
Goblet, while disavowing the actions of
the Government, said that he would vote
for the credits, but feared that they would
only serve to prolong the present state OF
things. The Government, he saw, was
unable to make peace, and yet it refused to
! demand the means to make war.
| Peyron, Minister of Marine, explained
that the credits of last year were only
| 72000,00 francs, and those for next year
will be 100000 900 francs. This will enable
| the Government to dispatch 5000 troops to
Tonquin to reinforce the French army and
send several cruisers to the navy.
The Chamber then voted the first credit
of 1900 900 francs by SCI to 1866, and after
wards, by vote of SOL to 179, voted fresh
credit of 100000 francs. The order of
the day, being an expression of confidence
in the Government was then adopted with
out opposition. Afterwards the order of
the day, pure and simple, was rejected
301 to 233.
