We have no doubt that the attack bon made upon the French by Chinese trodys but whether this attack was a local blunde or carried out ander secret orders Eom Pe king is a point we are unable to determing Chinese mandarins and Chinese troop, sometimes do very strange things apparently on their own responsibility; their ideas of political matters and obligations are very sague, and there is nothing very sue prising in the ofraumatangathata body of theas troups should have come into collision with a French force on the not very clearly defined ground aoparsting Touquin from China, On the other hand the Chipean Governmont way have changed its mind in regard to the Tientsin Convention; the war party or policy may have gained the ascendant, and this Jangaon afsir is the way the Poking authorities have selected for repudiating the amicable arrangement with France, Further, intelligence only can sittle this point, but our opinion is that the attack was a blender, and that a friendly settlement of the diffi culty will be reached.
