ENGLAND AND GERMANY REFUSE TO INTERFERE-


ENGLAND AND GERMANY REFUSE TO INTERFERE-
THE INLAND TAX.
LONDON. Jan. 12.-Chinese advices point TO the
determination of the Pckin Government for war
with France. Since the Marquis seng, the Chinese
Ambassador has returned to his residence at FOlke-
stone he has sounded Earl Granville the British
Minister of Foreign Affairs upon the question of
mediation by England, but Earl Granville expressed
unwillingness to act as mediator The Chinese
Ambassador at Berlin then applied TO Prince Bis
marck but he also declined to interfere. The Mar
ouis Tseng states that the Pekin Government feels
disappointed at the refusa of the Powers TO inter-
fere and saws China cOntcmplates doubling the IN
land tax levied upon foreign commerce in order TO
pay war expenses.
The Paris Figaro again issues bogus
statement of the bases of renewed
negotiations between France and China.
French advices from Pekin report that n mob is
threatening to burn the Catholic churches and
mission houses and that the feeling of the Chinese
populace is all for war; The movements OF Chinese
military forces are incessant and it is calculated
that over 100000 Chinese troops are now armed
with Remington rifles. Strong earthworks and for
tiications are being constructed upon the roads
leading toPekin, especially on the road from Chan
Hai-Kouan as the Chinese engineers think that in-
yasion by any other route is impossible.
The German Government will send Captain Paar-
chcu to take command of the German naval squad
ron in China which comprises two cOryettes, the
Stosch and the Leipsc, and two gun-boats, tho
Wolf and the Hts. Captain Paarchen is instructed
TO cooperate with Admiral Mcdowell commander
of the British squadron, in the protection OF COM
mercial interests
BREsLAU Jan. 12.-In hisletter to Herr Fleischer,
editor of the Deufsche Rerue, the Marquis Iseng
states that if the French threat TO exact war III
demnitv from China is seriously meant il is at pres.
ent somewhat premature, for, despite the 1all OF
Sontav China is far from thinking that she is on the
road 10 n Sedan Although word from England,
or a hint from Germany, would have made the
French pause before creating troubles the effect Oh
which will be felt at Pekin for years nelthe power
moved a finger Perhaps they will ind out thelr
mistake hen the inland tax on foreign commerce,
instead of being abolished as was intended, comes
TO be doubled
HoNG KoNG, Jan. 1.-THE Chinese authorities

the city of Canton, and the natives are uneasy
ai-Phong dates of January state that Admiral
Courbet will advance upon Bac-Ninh without await
