further time for completing the defonicos, especially at Foochow, now there cau bo - little doubt the French intend to make it & bans for their operations. The Chinese Government probably intends to give way, but it is worthy of note that the proporations for defonso are going on with increased vigour
At Foochow, for instance, now works of defence have bem commenced, and fresh troopa are arriving there, while even up the Canton river barrier is being constructed. The Kinpai Fees is, we be Hevo, only about the width of two or thires vonols, and could be easily blocked by the Chinese. They are just as likely to block the French vessels in as out. It is not thought the forts at Foochow could offer much resistance to the French, but the Chi- nese could no doubt block the Franch out of the river without buy gross dishealty, provided they were allowed to work their 786 own sweet will; hence it is easy to under
stand the anxiety of Admiral Courbet to guard the two passes, and wo do
wo do not believe the French ossals will ever give the Chi meso an opportunity of blocking the chan nel until pease is assured, that is, if France really intends to occupy Fanshow. Only vassels of about fifteen feet draft can, we beliove, get up to Foochow from the An- chorage,
