There is a rewal, for in- stance, of the activity displayed some months ago in moving bodies of troops aliout the Biopiro, and there is a cor- responding activity among French men-of-war and the political representa- civos of France in this part of the world. It would rather natonish most of us if it were discovered some day that these movements cf the French feet are being made not so much to frighten the Chi- nese Government as to support it, or a section of in- We have heard some- thing about a secret treaty, between France and China. It has been sug gested that the purport of this secret understanding may be support to be given by France, if the necessity arises, to Li Hung Chang and the Peace Party against their bellicose confrères! Nay, France may have undertaken to support the dynasty itself against dissension which it was feared might arise over the Convention.
That there is much dissatisfaction in Peking with the Convention, or that some influential persons there are jealous of Lẻ Hung-chang and his supportera, is evinced by a Memorial to the Throne from cortain censors published in a re- cent issue of a Shanghai paper. In this document, the Convention, Li Hug. *** chang and Franco ure in veighed against inunmeasured terms. It is one of themost ignorant and conceited effusions imagin able. These Censors evidently think war with France is advisable, but they show that they have absolutely no knowledga of the conditions of modern warfare, or of the relative warlike power of France. and China. They speak of the pecu- nity resources of France being more crippled than those of China; they describe Detring as 'petty Franch off einl, and manifest the strongest doubt of the bona fides of Fmuce. It is altoge. ther a childish document, and is not worth noticing, excepting to show the feeling prevailing among a section of the official class in Peking.
