Sir Rutherford Alsook has an article in the Contemporary Hevious on France and China, which ha declaras that "there are two conditions attending the rosent progress of the French schemes of colonization in the East which justify England in the exercise of a jealous vigilance. The first is the avowed object by means of such territorial acquisitions, in the fair way and main rante of our great Eastern trade, to menace and damage that trade and all English interestx now and hereafter. The second is the equally-plain and declared object of excluding English (and foreign) trade from competition with their own wherover their influence Extende.”
