FRANCE In ToNQUIN.
Mr.. Ferry Makes an Announcement
that the Country Must BE
Occupied.

PARIS, January Ia M Jules Ferry,
the French Prime Minister, this a ter
noon, In the Chamber of Deputies, made
an eff :ial declaration of the govern.
ment's intention in regard to Tcnquin.
The declaration was partly in answer to
an interrogatory put forward by the op-
position respecting the retirement OF
General Campenon from the Ministry of
War.
Gen Csmpenon resigned his portfolio
on the 81 inst. because. contrary to his
advice, the ministry persisted in the Ton
quin invasion. He con,ended that the
task was improbable and unworthy o.
the Republic, which could not, he argued,
afford to spare the 10000 French sol.
diers essential to the success OF the en-
terpiise, in view of the European silua-
lton and the pressing necessity Of more
perfect mobll zalion of the army oi
F.ance. Gen. Campenon's idea was ths,
his mobil cation was the immediate and
supreme duty Of the hour and that il
should at once be undertaken With the
view OF giving the Republic an available
military strength OF three millions of
rer. Gen. Lesal, OF the Seventeenth
army corps, who c,mmanded the r line
army during the Franco-German war,
and who 10 in thorough sympathy With
NJ. Fe'ry's views, was at once installed
as Gen Campenon's successor.
M. Ferry went bluntly 10 the point at
once. He announced that the govern
ment intended 10 immed stely increase
its energies in Tonquin and would not
stop until it occupied the entire country
up to the frontier OF the Chinese EN-
pire.
This declaration produced profound
sensation and was received with cheers
and considerable disapproval. Among
the distinguished visitors who we're pres
ent to hear The ministerial announcement
was Prince Hohenlohe, the German Am
hassador.
n. Ferry, continuing, said that the
operations necessary TO the proposed
conquest of Tonqlin would in no wise
compromise The French military strength
at home or interfere wi b The necessary
general mobilization. In saying this the
Premier fortified himself with the au-
tbority OF Gen LewaI, than whom there
could be no military authority more re-
spected by France There were 3,000,-
900 uf men in the Republic, the best sol.
diers in The world, ready TO march at o
moments notice in the cause OF France,
1t was impossible TO longer keep the ar
my IN ToDquin crouching idly, like hun.
terE with tneir eyes fixed upon . single
point. That was unworthy an army OF
France. That army must be otherwise
employed. Tonqnin must be entirely oc.
eupied. The task was not difficult. |,
would require but an Insignificant mobil.
IL ,tlon
/ M Ferry's speech, besides producing
q great sensation in lhe Chamber when i
was delivered, has asiounded the Paris
ians generally and made them quite seri
Gus. The general impression it has made
is described as bad. People discsss i,
as if they disliked to be forced to con
template the probability Of trouble.
