LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
FRANCE AND CHINA.

Premier Ferry was on the 18th
expected shortly to ask the French
Chambers for q war credit Of So
100000 francs and 25, 200 men for
an advance OH Picking. This was
believed to be intended rs n feeler,
as the French peasantry were be-
coming FESTIVE under the constant
drain upon the treasury to support
the operations in China. An enor-
nous sensation was caused that day
by the admission that during the
previous fortnight 1000 men had
been killed and wounded in Ton
quin, and it was considered certain
that the true number was 1000.
Under these circumstances the Min
istry concluded that march on
Peking would be far the cheapest in
the long run.
Gen. Negrier occupied ThaIhe on
the Sth. The Chinese troops who
had been defending the place fed
into China.
Gen. Delisle has wired furious
complaint to Paris conc erning the
free passage of Chinese conveys.
He says that arms and munitions of
war are regularly and uninterrupted
ty transported, while the two French
naval squadrons are fooling, POO
miles away. Admiral Lespes has
been notified of Delisle's complaints
and has ordered 4 blockade of the
port of Pakhoo.
The Chinese Embassy in London
deny that the French have occupied
the heights of Kelung, as claimed in
Paris. The members of the En-
bassy say that the French, after
fighting several days and losing 500
men, succeeded in occupying two
positions commanding road across
the island between Kelung and Tam
sui, but the Chinese still hold all the
other forts. In securing these two
positions the French made Il fierce
charge and were only successful in
landing at Kelung.
General de Lisle after two days
fighting relieved the French garrison
at Thuyenquan. He lost &c killed
and 1873 wounded, and the garrison
lost SO killed and 80 wounded.
