PARIS. "April 15th.
M. Floquet to-day presided in the Trocadero at the annual general meeting of the Commercial Union, six thousand persons being present. The Premier delivered a speech, in which he declared that the sole guarantee for civil liberties was political liberty. Republican France had need neither of a Protector in times of peace, nor of Dictator during war, if the necessity of defending the honour of her territory forced her to take up. arms. We want no one," continued MFloquet, "because in peace we have Republican institutions, won after seven teen years of exertion, strife, and perseverance while in case of war we have skilled and valiant Generals who loyally obey the public powers, and a citizen army, the flower of the nation, for which you all feel solicitude, and which enjoys such popularity among you. It is a Republic of liberty which has decided to celebrate the centen- ary of 1789 by bolding a Universal Exhibition. In other that the festival may be complete, le concord be restored among us, and let us remain a people master of its own destinies."

The Singapore Chinese have shewn a readiness to become British subjects, and to fix their household gods permanently 'in British territory, which, so far, has not been emulated by the Hongkongese. Berhas this is because the Cantonese are the proudest and at once the most conservative and most progressive of Chinese races; and, in spite of differences of opinion and sympathies, are amongst those upon whom the Manchus may best rely, as long as it is old Chinese ideas of civilisation and not purely Manchu politics which are to the fore.

VIENNA, Apili 15th General surprise has been created here by the Introduction into the Vienna and Pesth Parliaments at the present juncture of the Bill empowering the Government to keep all soldiers who have served their full term of three years under the colours for a fourth year in the Kegular Army, a measure by which the peace strength of the Austrian Army would be increased by over one hundred thou- sand men. Urgency has been demanded for the present measure, although the Army Law Amendment Bill, which is of far wider scope, is to be introduced in the coming Autumn. The preamble to the Hungarian Bill, in explanation of the deinned for urgency, points out that cases may arise where the peace strength of portions of the Army may require to be increased without the necessity of a general mobilisation, and this object, after the passing of the present Bill, may best be attained, by retaining under the colours for an additional year or less the men who have completed their time in the corps in question. It is farther mentioned that the new measure will serve to increase the strength of several of the Army Corps near the frontiers, referring probably to those in Galicia and Transylvania. It nevertheless appears some what strange that this increase should be prepared for just when Russia is sending out peaceful news, and the papers are filled with telegrams announcing the withdrawal of Russian troops from the frontiers, whilst no such measure was found necessary during the war scare last winter. Intelligence has, however, reached here from Galicia that several thousand Cossacks took up their quarters last week in the Russian frontier town of Huslatyn. They have only to cross the bridge over the little River Podhared, a tributary of the Dniester, to be in Galicia at a point with out any garriacn or other protection. The appearance of these Cossacks in such numbers has induced the Magistrales of the Austrian frontier villagee to send all public moneys into the interior, while Government officials as well as professional people have also begun sending

A great question must some day arise. Whose loyal subjects are these 5,000,000, Chinese to be? for there are certainly as many as this between Tongking and Austratin. They show a distinct predilection for British rule; which, unlike the jealous and harassing adininistration of the Spaniards and Dutch, and to a much less extent even the French, practically gives the law-abiding Chinese perfect equality of rights before the law. Long experience has shown that the Chinese rarely revelt unless they have, or think they have, a grievance; and whilst they are obstinate as long
they are tight they are by no meats unwilling
them to submit when it is calmly pointed out that they are wrong, and when they are firmly shown that they must not advance one step beyond "reason." If the Chinese have made eur eastern colonies, and can become sound British subject, is it wise to shrink from admitting them freely into Australia and other purely English colquics? This is a question which deserves further consiferation.

For the project of improving the native city by a good "Maloo" il appears, says the Shen-pae, we are indebted to H.E. Eiu Ming-ch'wan the Governor of Formosa.

The silent but persistent invasion of Indonesia by China is, writes a corespondent to our Shanghai morning contemporary, one of the phenomena of the age. From ancient times the trading junks of Amoy and Swatow have ploughed the seas to Kiao chi (Haiphong), Lin-yib and Chen-ch'eng (Tsiampa), Chen-lah (Cambodia), Kunlun (Puto Condor), Jou-fuh (Johore), and Chao-wa (Java), and the present steady flow of emigrating settlers most probably merely follows the lines already marked out by the mediaeval mariners, but the deliberate settlement of these countries by the enterprising colonist is only a matter of these times. The movement has attained such enormous proportions now-a-days that the Chinese Government has begurte rause itself and to enquire whether China is to desire no advantage whatever from these industrious populations who are making the fortunes of foreign colonial powers. Firstand foremost comes Siam, out of whose total population of 6,000,000 at the very least 2,000,000 are either pure Chinese or are mixed breeds wearing the gueve The Gigure of 25,000,000 recently given by the Siamese Minister in London is considered utterly ridiculous by all foreigners in Siam, who are, conversant with the resources of the county. It speaks well for the law-abiding instincts of the Chinese that they have so far been able in a country, where there is no rein whatever kept upon the free gratification of all their, passions, where the native judicature and executive are hopelessly corrupt, and where the intellectual capacity of the natives is immeasurably inferior, individual for individual, to that of the Chinese, to live so long not only without any ambitious attempts at revolt, but without ever giving serious trouble at all. The Chinese as a nation seem to be contemptuously indifferent to their rulers so long as Chinese ideas and development are If unfettered. The secret of the Slamese success with them is that the Chinese are absolutely free. They are exempt from the forced labour imposed annually upon the natives, and willingly pay a small annual poll-tax as the price of this exemption; they govern themselves though their own so- cieties and "congregations," live on terms of absolute equality with the Siamese, develop the resources of the country by their energy as cultivators and traders, and in all but the name have practically the whole country in their own hands. Fortunately for Siam the majority of the Chinese settlers are. from that part of China which has loast to do with the internal economy of the Empire, and who have no idea of allowing themselves to be made a cat's paw of for the special, benefit of the Manchu dynasty. Otherwise it would be perfectly easy for Chinese diplomacy to upset the whole Siamese state fabric, and to establish a Chinese province, extending from Szemao to Bangkok in Cambodia, where again the Chinese have always been treated with the same liberality as in Siam, the Chinese element forms quite half the population, which, according to the most reliable accounts, does not much exceed half a million. In French Cochin-China, Annam, and Tonquin on the other hand, where the total population cannot fall short of 15,050,000, there are not more than 100,000 Chinumen all told. Bath in Tonquin and in Cochin-China they are liable to a very heavy annual poll-tax and house tax, varying in amount from five to three hundred dollars a year, and be ider that, each Chinese arrival, at least in Salgo, is at once photographed and placed under the surveillance of the police, He cannot leave without papers and a passport, be is obliged either to carry a lantern after dusk or to pay a heavy annual exemption fee, he has hardly any rights such as are enjoyed by Hong- MADRID, April 15th. kong Chinese in anything that concerns the A Spanish Protestant clergyman, Señor Vila, government and administration, he cannot, or at has been condemned to imprisonment for two least does not, go swaggering about in magnifi- yeara four months and one day, and to a fine of cently appointed carriages as at Singapore, and two hundred and fifty francs and the costs, by in short he is reminded at every stop that he the Criminal Court at Malaga, for having dis belongs to the infer for order of mankind, and has cussed and condemned the dogmas of the no pretensions to equality with t the ruling race.

A Canton tea-merchant at Foochow sent agents up the Min River lately to Kienning to buy raw season's teas, handing them $15,000 to pay for the puchases. The low-rope of the boat broke as she was being towed up a rapid, the boat was wrecked, and the tea-buyer's clothes and money Fortunately, disappeared under the water. everything was saved except about $1,000, and the merchant has the consolation of knowing that it might have been much worse.
The Pakos tea of Paklin, in the Fuboing Prefecture, is the dearest kind in the market, prices ranging from over Tis.. too to Tls. 200 per picul. In colour, fragrance, and flavour it excels all other Pekoes, but only about 20 or 30 piculs are produced each spring. Unfortunately this spring owing to the excessive rain, very file has been grown, and although in colour and flavour it is worse than ever before, it is likely to be sold at higher prices than in former years but awing to its acarceness and inferiority of quality the profits on it will not amount very much.
