Since writing the above despatch, I have learn-
ed that my French colleague has applied to his
Minister in Peking for instructions as to the atti-
tude to be adopted by him should the presentation
of the petition, or any action taken thereon, re-
sult in a general or partial migration of Germans
from the British to the French Concession on
Shameen.
At present there are no German residents
on the French Concession.
