I believe thero is littlo dambt now but that penos will prevail hetween France and Chins. It seems to be pretty generally believed that an agreement has hon runeliad. Contronca is returning. The tooling is gaining ground. I! think, that Prince Kanig will soon be in power again, unless he absobitsly delines, and that ho will be stronger than before The Viceroy said at the first hearing of the now of his downfall, that he would be back again aucu, for they could not get on in the Falece without him. Whether he was dismissed in a fit of passion and disappoint next. or whether the Bereath Princo sasocoded i fording the consant and act of the Empress, may not be fally known. The latter is gonoraily believed to be the tras explanation, and fast the whole coup d'état was intended as a blow at ILE. Li, and the policy be advomates. It has been u most alterous fiance. You have beard of gans that one would rather be before than behind: when they are fired. The gondnot of the Chinens Government throughout this Aunara broglio has done itself more injury than any one bera can ba bit liftio question that Li Ch'ung-tang is stronger to-day, and mory foured in the Palac-possibly more rospected too-- that ever before. This the Chinese gay, and foreignera beliare. Nothing could better ill. astrate the weakness and rattenness of the Chinese Government than the course it bua persued of late. It lastered and boasted with Fitous assumption end bold front; it espous, ed the cause of its vassal, and declared that an advanco ou certain points by Be enemy would throw the responsibility of making war upon thera; all of which goes for acthing. France states her farmsaid is away. China allowa what she deslared she would not alleir, swallows Lor anger, and), worst of all, settles down again into the out rits, till roceed by some other com motion. Enormone sums of money have been spent in creating a foreign-drilled and foreign-Ta

equipped army and nary. And while they have sua fine war vessels, and a large supply of arms-argo and small-and other equipments of the best kind, and a large number a of usmey enrolled, their fighting fores amounts to nothing. In any contest that misant seriour business, Baminh would be repouted; as the French arched in store gate, the Chinese would be hustled out at the other, leaving alt their doo Kropp guns behind them.-N.
