'continued. He said the Government had failed ia none of their engagements, nor was there any contradiction between their acts and the record. No important event occurred making necessary the carly convoking ef Parliament. The French were the masters of three-fourths of the Red rivielta, and the enemy occupied but two important places, from which the reinforcements would dislodge them. All the documents necessary had been published and those not published in the Yellow Book only showed the inconsistencies of China's policy more clearly. China, never really sought a serious compromise, but simply wanted to gain time, while France had sincerely endeavored to arrive at an agreement without accepting a humiliating capitulation. China had never recognised the Bouree treaty, and no understand- ing between France and China had been effected thereon. It was evident that China sought to expel the French from "Tonquia. The Chinese at length decided to formulate propositions de- manding the recognition of their suzerainly and the evacuation of the places occupied by the French, but did not attempt to discuss the rights conferred on France, by her treaties with Annam. They simply ignored those rights, declared Ton- quin to be their property, and demanded that the French should retire, promising to con- cede to France a position similar to that which she now occupies in certain parts of China. France sent a reply, stating what she considered à possible basis of agreement. The Cabinet, he said, still con- sidered the Bouree treaty inadmissible, but the constitution of a neutral zone between Tonquin and China would create a situation advantageous to France To sum up, Chlas demanded a re- version to the state-of things which existed prior to the year 1873. France, he declared, must proceed firmly and rapidly to work for, an ad- vance. The negotiadians with China, be added, 5 have been only interrupted. Let events speak for themselves. Perhaps the time will come when China will be happy to find us still ready to consider arrangements compatible with France's interests and honor, France has never departed from firmness and moderation. The force of circumstances bas ràndered her the re- presentative of the interests of all Europe in the East. M. Challemei-Lacour concluded by declaring that the Chamber had to express con- fidence not in the Government but in itself, for, added he, the policy of the Cabinet had been endorsed by the Legislature.
After M. Challemel-Lacour's address, M. Perrin spoke. He reproached the Government for not having fulfilled its promises, and characterised the Tonquin affair as a mere adventure. French men, he said, were not afraid of war with China, but the, necessity therefor must first be shown. He thought it better to penetrate China by trade than by arms. Twenty thousand men were re- quired in Tonquin, and it would be imprudent to spare so many Frenchmen in the present situa- tion of affairs in Europe.
It is stated that the French Goverment, in view of the warlike attitude of China, will ask the Chamber for a much larger credit for the expenses of the expedition in Tonquin than was originally intended. Even should China only semain on the defensive, larger reinforcements of tropps will be required in Tonquin. The Government does not expect defeat in the Cham bers on its Tonquin policy.
The Figare publishes the report that the Governor of the Chinese province of Yunnan, with 14,000 troops, has received orders to enter Tonquin and occupy Cao Ban, 130 miles north of Hanoi, the French head-quarters.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1883.
so. We are iesirous of firmly establishing our selves in the Red river delta by gaining posses- sion of Sontay and Bacninh. With that object achieved, nobody will be able to drive us out This prudent policy will lead to a settlement of tlie Tonquin affair. long-years-subject-to-constant discussion is us Our African empire, for day one of the glories of France. The means to avoid war is to show that we have no fear." .'
The order of the day, expressing confidence in was finally adopted by a vote of 339 to 100. the firmness and prudence of the Government,
It is rumoured that, owing to the Ministerial statements regarding the Tonquin negotiations and the adoption of a vote of confidence in the Goyerment in the Chamber of Depistics, the Marquis Tseng will leave Paris.
The Chinese Legation utterly discredits M. Ferry's assertion that Li llung Chang disavows the Marquis Tseng's policy.
PARIS, November 31st.
It is reported that the Black Flags occupy Sontay. and that the Chinese possess Bacninl If, therefore, the French attack the latter place, war with China will be inevitable.
The Marquis Tseng intimated to-day that M. Tricqu's telegram, which was very opportune for the Ferry Government, was the result of a suggestion telegraphed from Paris. "A disa- vowal such as M. Tricou mentions," he said, "was impossible. I merely fulfilled instructions emanating from the same Government which directs Ll Hung Chang, who is related to me, and who, furthermore, always held opinions similar to myself. He was always my good friend,"
Many papers here doubt the reliability of M. Tricou's despatch.

Ferry asks for a grant of money to despatch reinforcements to Tonquin, China will certainly enter Tonquin forthwith.

CHINA'S PROPOSITION TO FRANCE.
We have at last, observes an American con- temporary, what seems to be a trustworthy as well as definite statement of the terms offered by the Pekin Government as a basis of agree ment with France. It is scarcely possible that the Ferry Cabinet will accept the arrangement interminable complications between the French proposed, for it would settle nothing and lead to and the Chinese la Tonquin. The present Min- later will have to obtain much more substantial concessions than these if they hope to persuade the Chamber of Deputies to condone the blunder committed in refecting the Bourée treaty.

The Premier, M. Ferry, in reply to M. Clemenceau, admitted that the interests of the Cabinet were a secondary matter compared with
the Interests of the country. The Government, he declared, had not failed in their engagements They had carried the practice of moderation and prudenes to its furthest limits. There existed no grounds of reparation between the Tonquin and Tunisian questions. The day was not far distant when French statesmen would cease to be violently condemned for increasing their country's domain, on the Mediterranean. The Tonquin question was not a personal affair. France, as the second mantime power of the world, had special duties to perform. It was the duty of the Government to prepare fresh ground for the activity of future generation All work ing nations were marking out for themselves a part of the unexplored regions of the world. Why should not France draw near to Chidia; which contains 400,000,000, consumers),
Regarding military matters in Tonquin, the Premier said that operations had been confined within the limits indicated by the Government, and not even the Red river delta had been com- pletely occupied. The capture of Hue had been brought about by the death of King Tuduc. An unlooked for opportunity presented itself and had to be seized. If the Government had waited to summon the Chambers, the propitious mo ment would have bees lost. The treaty of 1874 gave France the right of a protectorate over Annam, and the Tonquin treaty made no disting tion between Annam and Tonquin. The treaty of Hue did not charge the treaty of 1874, but defined the conditions of the protectorates the Govers ment had assumed the responsibility for despatch ing reinforcements to Tonquin because the as- of the Chambers before the usual time sembling

Now, it has long been recognized by the French colonial authorities that the Saigon establishment is a failure from a commercial point of view, and that the sole means of rendering it profitable is to seek accessions of territory in the north-cast of Annam, where the geographical and agricultural conditions are more favorable. The conquest of the Tonquin delta and the control of the Red River might have happily splved a problem which has hitherto proved intractable; they might have revolutionized the position of the French in Farther India; but if the result of the present expe- dition shall be to surrender both of these advan tuges to China, the French would perhaps do wisely to abandon altogether the hope of creating a colonial empire in the East.
