The only reasonable hope the world can have is that after the death of Commander Rivière is "avenged" France will consent to retire from a province that brings her no profit, and to surrender pretensions, which, if main- tained, may wrap the East in a far-reach- ing conflagration. There is even some danger in the policy of retrieval that is now evitable, for China may encourage and assist Annam, and thus prolong the conflict. Every day of delay, every incident of defeat, will draw France further into embarrassment and expense, until she may find expansion in-Asia, Western Africa, and Madagascar, as bad a game as her old policy of aggression at home.
The attitude of the French Press against-Eng fant has buah very bitter, in consequence of the advice that has been tendered. They do not believe that it is disinterested, and yet all that the Press here has done is to warn France of the dangers that she was facing, and which she was apparently under-estimating with so light a beart It is hoped, however, that it will soon be viewed in a calmer light. It is not only English criticism, but German encouragement that should be looked at The soreness at English previsions of possible disastrous consequencca.to France from the Tong King expedition, which are construed as unfriendly to the Republic, finds expression in the Courier de Soir in the follow- ing terms:-
British malevolence on the subject of our co- lonial campaign's is so revolting that one feels disposed to make concessions to Germany her- sell, to combat so much perfidy.
La France, in an article replying to English criticisms, remarks that the day when England is made to understand that her fealousies will not have the effect of checking France in carry- ing out that policy which her dignity and her in terests alike dictate, she will probably regain her ordinary composure, and cease to play the part of a national scarecrow-croguemilaine na tional. In the same spirit La France censures the English Jesuitism which cries "Hands off" to France at a time when her own hands are firmly planted on Egypt
M. Francis Magnard observes in the Figaro: "It is well that the unanimity with which per- sons of every shade of opinion have pronounced in favour of energetic action should show Europe, which is not particularly well disposed towards France, that when the credit of the flag is con- cerned there is an end to all dissension.

The Figaro publishes a letter from Vice-Ad- miral de Gueydon on the subject of Tong King, Colonial possessions France must abandon in which he declares that before acquiring fresh free trade, which merely provides outlets for foreign trade.

Since Lieutenant Garnier's death, it has been clear that France would have to take decisive action in TongKing. The solution of the ques- tion, however, was postponed from Cabinet to Cabinet till Captain Rivière, a brave, ambitious, and vigorous man, sought and obtained the direction of the Tong King military expedition: He embarked in October, 1881, and reach- ed his destination charged-to-enforce the Treaty of 1874, which since its signature had remained a dead letter. M. St. Hilaire, then Foreign Minister, had Of course, if had experience of the past and been able to act for the future, if he had not simply confined the expedition to Captain Rivière, but given him precise, strictly defined instructions, what has happened would not have occurred. But since Captain Rivière's departure four Ministers-MM. Gambetta, Freycinct, Duclerc,-and-Challemel Lacour-bave followed each other at the Qual d'Orsay. None of them has had time to weigh the consequences of the expedition, none of them has ventured to bring it before the Chamber nong of them has had the information requisite for directing with confidence and prudence the French consequently at Tong King, and this policy fortunate Captain Rivière's control.

The French troubles in Tong King are received with scarcely concealed satisfaction in Bedin, for whatever the final result may be the expedition will severely tax the French finances and resources, The National Gazette says that Germany has not the slightest cause to oppose the French undertaking. There is a number of foreign firms at Saigon, including several German The French occupation of Tong King will bene fit the commerce of all civilised nations. Next to the British flag the German is most frequently represented in Chinese ports. It is generally believed that England and Germany would never permit a French blockade of the treaty ports. There is, however, no present inten. tion of increasing the German squadron on the Asiatic station. Its present commander, Rear- Admiral. Blanc, will be relieved in the middle of July by Captain Baron von der Golts, an officer who in the late Egyptian troubles distinguished himself for his energy and ability at the head of the German Mediterranean Squadron.
The papen in Vienna devote much space to the Tong King disaster. The official organs are of opinion that France will scarcely show the same political spirit England has trays die played under similar circumstances. The News Frei Press thinks that France is entering lightly upon a dangerous adventure, which will cost her much blood and money, even if it does not involve her in war with China.
The Timur says: The French dream of an easy uninterrupted success has received a sudden and severe check. There will be difficulties In the way from the nature of the country which the relieving forces must traverse and from the character of the tribes by whom they will be oppored. It is no longer with the unwarlike Annamite soldiery that France will have to do. The hill tribes have been roused, and have come down into the plain, and it is through these that the French expeditionary force must cut their road to Hanoi, But there is nothing in all this that French troops will not be able to do Her military reputation is at stake, or, what comes to the same thing, the fancies that It

Her designs upon Tong King have excited the jealousy of China, and if our St. Petersburgh correspondent is correctly informed, a serious rupture of diplomatic ralations between the two countries is imminent.

Mr. Colquhoun, writing to The Times, says: The reason why the Chinese Government, after having allowed the French to annex the Lower Cochin-China provinces of Annam, are now taking such determined action to prevent any acquisition by the French of the north part of Teng King and the independent country lying between it and China is misunderstood. The policy of the Chinese, which they have followed for many centuries, has been to make their power felt by the neighbouring States and tribes, so as to avoid disturbances arising close to the Chinese borders. As a sign of their acknow edgment of Chinese power, the States beyond the border have been compelled to pay a nominal tribute an homage, the cessation of this tribute being considered the discontinuance of friendly relations. With miner Powers in their fame: diate neighbourhood the action of the Chinese has been to make their power more felt and the States really tributary to them.
