The possession of such a post would give a good basis for the operations of the following year, and I cannot but think that, politically, our second appearance in this manner at Chusan would be of great advantage. \n\n24. The difficulty of supplying the troops with provisions during the winter, with a popu lation from whom aid is not with any certainty to be expected, leads me to name only such a force for the occupation of an island post in the upper seas as would be adequate to protect themselves against attack. This force could receive addition, with the return of the favourable season, and arrangements might then be made for the more complete control and possession of the island, if the decision of Her Majesty's Government should be in favour of that proceeding. 25. Sufficient provisions must be taken from Macao and Hong-Kong to supply the troops on the island throughout the winter, independently of local resources, and the entire fleet ought to be similarly provisioned for the probable period of its absence in the upper seas. \n\n28. After establishing a post in an island on the northern coast, it may be most convenient that a considerable portion of the fleet, with the residue of the troops, should return to Hong-Kong, to add strength to our position there during the most active season of trade. \n\nI shall transmit a copy of this letter by the mail now under despatch, for the information of Her Majesty's Government. \n\n(No, 40.) \n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 2. \n\nHonourable Sirs, \n\nFort William, 12 May 1841. THE express which left this on the 22d ultimo, will have conveyed to your honourable Committee the official Gazette which contained the accounts of the brilliant successes that had attended the operations of Her Majesty's naval and military forces in the Canton waters, and had terminated in placing the important provincial capital itself at the mercy of Her Majesty's arms. \n\n2. The Gazette in question was the only document which we were able to transmit by the last opportunity; and we now propose to lay before your honourable Committee a succinct narrative of our proceedings since the arrival of his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, and a précis of the various measures we have adopted to supply the wants of the China expedition; and we trust a perusal of these will satisfactorily evince to the home authorities the anxiety and earnestness with which this government has been striving to co-operate in aid of Her Majesty's Government, and for the furtherance of the public service. \n\n3. Your honourable Committee are aware that the Honourable Company's steamer \"Queen\" arrived here with his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, on the 21st ultimo, and the \"Madagascar\" was announced two or three days subsequently. Both these vessels were found, on an examination of their keels and copper, to have sustained very considerable in- jury, and to require very extensive repair in order to render them really efficient for the im- portant service on which they are engaged. They have accordingly been placed in dock, and every exertion is being used by the officers of the stean department to make them thoroughly fit to return to their duties without one moment's unnecessary delay. His Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer will return in the \"Queen\" to his head quarters, and we hope that she will leave this on the 15th instant, The \"Madagascar\" may be unavoidably detained for some weeks later. \n\n4. The eminent services rendered by the Company's iron steamer \"Nemesis” (which your Committee will find most fully recorded in the Gazette before alluded to), suggested to Cons.: 20th April, us the propriety of attaching also the \"Phlegethon\" and \"Proserpine\" to the China expe- dition; and the papers marginally noted will inform your Committee that we have accord- ingly addressed instructions to Singapore and Ceylon, desiring the commanders of these vessels to proceed to Canton, and place themselves under the orders of his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief. \n\nNos. 6 to 9. \n\nCons.: 20th April, Nos. 71 to 73. \n\nDitto. \n\nDitto. \n\n5. In his letter, dated the 4th of May, his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, informed us that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty were desirous that small vessels of light draft of water should be purchased or hired for the service of the China expedition, and added, that the \"Sylph \"a barque of 351 tons, which had been offered to be sold for the sum of 70,000 rupees, appeared likely to prove an eligible purchase. We have requested the survey officers of our marine department to examine this vessel ou her arrival in port (hourly expected), and to state whether the price is fair and reasonable. If the report of her quali- fications is favourable, we shall advance the money asked for her, and charge the same as a debit to Her Majesty's Government. \n\n6. The Company's pitot vessel \"Lady William Bentinck,\" being at this moment unappro- priated (her duties of survey in the Bay of Bengal having ceased), has been, at the especial request of Sir Gordon Bremer, properly armed and equipped, and placed at his disposal as a tender to the naval squadron in the China seas. When fully equipped she will be valued by the proper officers, and transferred to Her Majesty's service. The value, so fixed, will stand as an item of charge on the general account of the expedition, and at the end of it she will remain in Her Majesty's service, or to be restored to the Company's at her then proper value, as may be determined by the authorities. \n\n7. Your committee will observe, that Sir Gordon Bremer has also asked us, if we could conveniently spare the small new vessel\" Hooghly,\" whose services as a despatch packet \n\nin \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nin the Canton waters he considers important, not only on account of her fitness for the work in question, but as allowing of the withdrawal of a heavier vessel for more active service elsewhere, which could not be otherwise done. We may comply with this request if we find we can do so without injuriously affecting the interests of our marine steam department, or seriously impeding of communications with the eastern coasts of the Bay of \n\nBengal. \n\n8. Her Majesty's 55th Foot, at present in garrison at Fort William, and mustering upwards of 800 strong, together with the recruits of Her Majesty's 26th and 49th regiments, amounting to 400 men, are on the point of embarking to reinforce the military strength in China. Three hundred recruits for Her Majesty's 18th, or Bengal Irish, have already been despatched from Bombay, to join the head-quarters of their regiments at Hong Kong. The Government of Madras have, at the same time, been requested to fill up to their original strength the detachments of artillery and sappers and miners furnished from that Presidency, and to forward the recruits of the 37th Madras Native Infantry to the corps in China. Her Majesty's 50th Foot, just arrived from New South Wales, will replace Her Majesty's 55th in the garrison of Fort William. \n\nOfficers. \n\nMen, \n\nCoromandel \n\n9. For the conveyance of Her Majesty's 55th to China, this Government has sanctioned the engagement of the vessels named in the margin.* Their launches will be each * fitted with a six-pounder, as the arrangement has been found, from the expe- Orient rience of those similarly equipped last year, very efficient with reference to the Ermaad nature of the service for which these transports are destined. The terms on which these vessels have been engaged are named in the margin.* We have every reason to expect that these transports will be ready for sea in 10 or 12 • Orient days. \n\nMariam \n\n- 11/8 per ton, per mensen.

The recruits of Her Majesty's 26th and 49th regiment will be conveyed by the three transports in which the Bengal Volunteers are returning to this country. While we are writing this paragraph, the \"David Malcolm,\" one of the three, has been announced at the Sand Heads. \n\n11. The Madras reinforcements will be forwarded in Her Majesty's troop ship, \"Jupiter,\" which \n\nyour Committee are aware was directed by the authorities in China to proceed to Can- nanore, to be ready, in case the Indian Government should find it expedient to send a Queen's regiment from that port to China, but which vessel we subsequently desired might go round to the Madras Ronds. \n\n12. The number of camp followers indented for is marginally stated; but we are of opinion that it scarcely will be \n\nfound practicable, even \n\nif it should be found upon further inquiry \n\nto be expedient, at once \n\nto meet this demand in \n\nfull. \n\nFOLLOWERS. \n\nMEMORANDUM of NATIVE ESTABLISHMENT and CAMP FOLLOWERS ordered to be supplied to the following Corps. \n\nCORPS \n\nHer Majesty's 55th Regiment \n\nDetachment, 26th ditto \n\nDitto \n\n49th ditto \n\nTOTAL \n\n+ \n\nQuartermasters' \n\nEstablishment. \n\nHospital \n\nServants. \n\nBheestres. \n\nSiveepers. \n\nCooks. \n\nWashermen. \n\nOfficers' \n\nServants, \n\nFollowing \n\nTroops. \n\nREMARK 5. \n\nGovernment has sanctioned an increase of 50 per cent, to the \n\nB \n\nusual pay of these! \n\npeople. \n\n13. The précis at the conclusion of this despatch will apprize your Committee that the supplies of provisions generally seen by our latest accounts to be abundant with the China force, and the further quantities that have been procured and despatched from England and New South Wales, will, we trust, render the expedition complete in this part of its arrangements. \n\n14. The instructions referred to in this place will show, that injunctions for a due economy Nos. 23 to 25; 34 \n\nin the regulation of our commissariat and ordnance magazines have not been overlooked. to 36, The Military Board having, with reference to the ordnance with the expedition, recom- mended that an officer should be appointed, who should render them regular accounts on this subject, and be responsible at the termination of the campaign in regard to the expen- diture and stores of ordnance. We have requested Sir Hugh Gough to nominate some well qualified individual to this duty. \n\n15. Your Committee will see, by the papers here cited, that we have desired the Military Board to instruct Major Hawkins, the Deputy Commissary-General in China, to study to husband in every way his commissariat supplies, and have pointed out that real economy in his department will consist in great care in bis issues, as also in inaking arrangements for disposing of surplus articles at moderate prices to any purchasers that may offer, in lieu of permitting them to perish in his store; and, lastly, in arranging all his requisitions in com- munication with the naval and military Commanders-in-Chief, so that no confusion or unnecessary charges may be involved in an ignorance on his part of what supplies or \n\n596. \n\nB \n\nresources",

The Marine Board have been requested to furnish statements showing the quantity of coal available in China, the estimated consumption per month for the steamers named in the margin, the quantity in store at Singapore (which is believed to be large, and to have been promised at a cheap rate) and the quantity in store at Point de Galle. We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured. Your Committee will perceive from the document noted in the margin, that Mr. Bonham had purchased between 700 and 800 tons at six dollars per ton, which he expected soon to despatch to China. \n\nquarterly 17. We have likewise requested the Accountant-general to forward to us a return, exhibiting a statement of the entire expense incurred on account of Her Majesty's Government for the China expedition, with a view to enable your Committee to take such measures for the progressive adjustment of the sums at the debit of Her Majesty's Govern- meat, as you may deem most proper. \n\n18. In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging. \n\n19.

Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation. \n\n21. The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service. \n\n22. In conclusion, we beg,in an Appendix, to annex for the information of your Committee, and as affording the means of a ready reference to detail, a précis on the following points not particularised in the foregoing portion of this depatch: \n\n1.

The advantageous situation of Chusan, removed from the possibility of collision with the Chinese, for Hong Kong being within one Mile of the Main land is far from being calculated to \"please\" or dissipate this apprehended but very serious discussion in Contingencies. The people, particularly in the Chinese districts, the southern districts, are with credulous obedience to their Mandarins; it is denied that they are under our Mandarins.\n\nAt Canton & Foo Chow the Mandarins yet acknowledge the \"Justice\" & Control of the people. But at Chusan the inhabitants are attached to our rule, rejoicing at its continuance, - civil, submissive, hospitable wherever we go, - not a homicide has been committed, not a riot, - very few petty larcenies, no party taker is generally concurred.\n\nNot the slightest symptom of discontent or dissatisfaction during nearly four years of occupied occupation of the island. The English Residents are much pleased with the inhabitants.\n\nAt Hong Kong burglaries, robberies & piracy are of almost nightly recurrence, despite & card sharpers, with the provision of a large Police Establishment, - an extensive Military & Naval force. No European retires to rest without pistols under his pillow.\n\nFinally Chusan possesses all the advantages.

The Labuan Govt do not want Convicts generally, but a body of about 50 or 60 useful laboring Convicts; on the other hand, the Govt of Hong Kong has not actually in custody any body of Prisoners from whom such a selection could be made. It merely has about 30 fresh Convicts per annum, of whom it is by no means certain that all would be of the description wanted at Labuan. And at all events, 50 men could neither be a relief to one Colony nor acession to the other.\n\nIf the measure were entertained at all, it might be desirable to begin by ascertaining from the Archipelago Company whether they would wish to employ the Convicts.

He then entered into commercial pursuits, in which he has been until lately engaged.\n\nIn my repeated conversations with Mr. Mitchell, I found that his opinions on most subjects, very generally agreed with my own, and I therefore desired him to place his views on paper; he has done so. I have accordingly submitted the inclosed documents which are No 1 @ 3.\n\nThey appear to me to contain much valuable information with respect to the past and present state of the Colony, as well as to its probable fate. I think it therefore only fair towards Mr Mitchell, that they should be forwarded to your Lordship unmutilated, as they will tend to throw light on, and explain many subjects connected with this Colony that have been heretofore imperfectly understood, as well as to show your Lordship the zeal and qualifications of the writer.\n\nI have caused a précis to be made of these papers for easy reference, and I add that I concur on all essential points with Mr Mitchell. The précis will be of assistance to your Lordship in considering the subject matter discussed by Mr. Mitchell, but to understand it thoroughly, I regard his papers as worthy of perusal. Should it be at any time necessary or advisable to bring these papers before the Public, I have no objection to their being considered as reports made on my authority;",

M. Jawrike, lui accorda la permission qu'il sollicitait. Les autorités remarquerent, cependant, que le congre était muni d'une artillerie plus considérable que ne portent habituellement les bâtiments de commerce, et qu'il y avait en outre beaucoup d'armes d'abordage. Hedges annonçait cependant comme son intention de revenir bientôt, qu'il existait des complots contre lui, après l'avoir fait signer un engagement s'abstiendrait de tout trafic sur les côtes que baigne la mer de Behring.\n\nJawortha lui permit de quitter le port, en considération surtout du but qu'il donnait à son voyage - Etrangers. Peu de temps après des bâtiments venus de Petro pawlost y repandirent le bruit qu'il y avait eu un engagement entre l'équipage d'un navire américain et les naturels de la côte (Tschukts-chis) et que 12 de ces derniers avaient été tués. Le 24 Août le même Conque rentrait à Patro pawlosk sous pavillon des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.\n\nChez le gouverneur, Hedges se présentait de nouveau. Interpellé sur le nom du Capitaine auquel il avait consigné sa cargaison, il répondit qu'il ne s'en souvenait pas, mais qu'il commandait la corvette \"Dedalus\". Interrogé ensuite pour savoir s'il n'avait pas connaissance d'un combat avec les Tschuktschis. Il déclara qu'il en avait entendu vaguement parler par des baleiniers, et qu'il en ignorait entièrement tous les détails. L'ambiguïté de ces réponses, l'air embarrassé de Hedges, l'armement de son navire qui était presque celui d'un pirate, décidèrent le capitaine Jaworka à ordonner à la Douane d'effectuer, par une revision sommaire, de se composer la cargaison du Conque.\n\nOn sut ainsi qu'il y avait à bord une quantité considérable: des dents de morse, des patrons armes de Tschuktochis, des habits à leur usage. Du chum. Du thé et du tabac. Il ne restait ainsi aucun doute que Hedges avait manqué à l'engagement qu'il avait pris de ne faire aucun trafic avec les naturels de la côte. Pour mieux s'assurer...",

        "content_text": "Le Capitaine Zawoitas était occupé à charger une commission de faire une enquête. Il ordonna d'envoyer des sentinelles à bord. À peine avait-il donné cet ordre que le loupre arbora le pavillon Britannique, et qu'un certain Stratten se rendit à terre, qui déclara être le capitaine du navire \"La Marthe\". Et produisit des papiers de bord qui établissaient en effet la nationalité anglaise de ce bâtiment.\n\nL'enquête eut cependant lieu. Le capitaine du port en chargea le sous-lieutenant Goubareff. Cet employé était assisté de M. Khamiakoff et de l'auditeur supérieur Soltyshoff.\n\nNous avons joint à ce rapport les pièces de cette enquête.\n\nCes pièces montrent que, d'après les lettres de mer, le navire \"Martha\" du capitaine Stratten, jaugeant 153 tonneaux, appartient à Mr John Armstrong, marchand anglais habitant le port de Victoria de l'île de Hong Kong. Qu'il est confié au commandement de Stratten, et que sa destination est pour les îles Sandwich et autres de l'océan Pacifique.\n\nHedges n'est point porté sur les rôles de l'équipage. Stratten déclare que celui-ci était à bord, comme subrécargue, et qu'il lui avait momentanément confié le commandement à cause de sa connaissance des côtes du Kamtchatka.\n\nLes déclarations écrites de Hedges et Stratten, en réponse aux questions qui leur furent adressées par la commission d'enquête, n'expliquent aucunement les circonstances mystérieuses et le véritable but de l'apparition du navire sur nos côtes.\n\nLe relevé de la cargaison qui se trouvait à bord du navire, et dont la liste est annexée, semble offrir quelques renseignements sur son expédition.\n\nIl apparaît que le navire était engagé dans un commerce illicite avec les naturels de la Côte, et que l'armement qu'il portait indique que non seulement il avait été fait dans la prévision des dangers que courait le navire, mais peut-être dans des vues d'agression.\n\nUne quantité de dents de morse, d'habits et d'ustensiles qui étaient à bord prouvent la pratique du commerce avec les naturels, mais que l'espionnage n'était pas incompatible avec les intentions des étrangers, qui de tout côté étaient signalés à nos autorités.\n\nPage 91",

Ditropawlork, interprétant trop largement l'article XI de la convention de St. Pétersbourg du 10 Février 1828, conclut avec Cafrands Aretaque la permission de reprendre la marchandise confisquée par le Général de la Sibérie Occidentale des faits qui résultaient de sa poursuite.\n\nLe dossier de l'enquête qu'il a présenté contient la copie des papiers de bord présentés par ledit capitaine et certifiés conformes.\n\nEn vous transmettant de nouvelles copies que j'en ai fait tirer, ainsi que des questions posées par la commission d'enquête à ces deux individus, je prie V.E. de vouloir bien les communiquer à M. l'Ambassadeur de S.M. Britannique à St. Pétersbourg et lui demander d'une part de faire constater si le navire \"La Martha\" appartient réellement à la marine nationale Anglaise, et de l'autre, après avoir établi que le délit de commerce illicite a été commis en liaison avec les naturels, obtenir la position des coupables.\n\nSi nous avons peut-être le droit de reprocher aux autorités d'un port de mer militaire d'avoir donné une interprétation trop large au dit article, qui même ne se rapporte pas à nos établissements sur la côte de la Sibérie Orientale, le Gouch. Bertache de son côté jugera sans doute qu'il en résulte d'autant plus l'obligation d'appliquer les principes de la justice avec impartialité.\n\nVous voudrez bien, M. le Ministre, appeler l'attention sur l'armement suspect de ce navire qui fait peser sur lui le soupçon de livrer à la piraterie. L'amirauté Anglaise qui s'efforce à l'avenir d'établir partout la sécurité des mers, ne manquera pas, sans doute, de faire rechercher quel but \"La Martha\" poursuivait en transportant 5 pièces de canon et une quantité considérable d'armes qui peuvent servir à l'abordage.\n\nElle trouvera probablement utile de faire soumettre les hommes de l'équipage à un interrogatoire propre à constater s'ils ont eu un engagement sanglant avec les naturels, habitants de nos côtes, et si ces derniers ont été punis.\n\nIl se trouve à bord de \"La Martha\" un citoyen des États-Unis d'Amérique, le médecin Royle, qui a délivré un certificat, et que le natif a précédemment rapporté avoir vu.\n\nJ'ai l'intention d'inviter M. Rodine à recommander au cabinet de Washington de faire de son côté des recherches sur tous les faits dont je viens d'entretenir.\n\nJe joins à cette dépêche une copie de la lettre que j'ai écrite à M. l'Ambassadeur de S.M. Britannique à St. Pétersbourg, en le priant de sous-expédier sa réponse, également ouverte, en donnant tous les renseignements qui pourraient vous être utiles.\n\n92",

See 9234. I am afraid that you will have no alternative, but to prepare a précis, if I thought it necessary, of this long correspondence between the Under Secretary General, & the Acting Governor on the part of the local Govt. I should be better able to judge.\n\nI am disposed to think that the Colonial Authorities are not very supportive. They should do more to actively execute their duty. I am unable to trace anything objectionable in Capt. Cooper's mode of fulfilling this office - nor any sufficient grounds for complaints against his defence.\n\nBut I think the Governor was not justified in refusing to send the consideration of this representation to the E: Council & refusing to send it to the Authority to whom it was addressed.\n\nI am inclined to think Capt. Cooper started in rather an overbearing way. But the difficulties he encountered were real: and the allegation at p. 19. that the stipendiary magistrates, who have to enforce the Sanitary Regulations, are themselves largely engaged in building transactions, is a matter of some weight.\n\nI annex the draft of a despatch which I would suggest. I think Capt Cowper's letters show some want of judgement & patience & I concur with the whole despatch with a single slight alteration.\n\nNo 23 Oct",

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

Il monta a bord de ce Navire sans oser rien dire. Le jour de la signature des contrats, il vit beaucoup de coulis qui avaient signé sans se plaindre, il en fit autant.\n\nNote: Le couli porte sur le corps d'affreuses marques de coups; tout son dos est sillonné de larges et longues raies rouges, plus de deux millimètres au-dessus de la peau.\n\n## Yang ang\ndu village de chething\n\n30 Ans\n\nOuvrier, amené à bord d'une lorcha en Colon.

They shall not be restrained in their choice, and shall not be obliged to pay any salary or remuneration to any person whom they shall not choose to employ in those capacities; buyers and sellers being at perfect liberty to bargain together, and to fix the price of any goods or merchandise imported or destined for exportation, on condition of observing the regulations and the Customs laws of the country.\n\n### ARTICLE III.\n\nIn all that relates to navigation and commerce, the High Contracting Parties shall not grant any privilege, favour, or immunity to any other country, which shall not be also and immediately extended to their respective subjects.\n\n### ARTICLE IV.\n\nAll vessels which according to the laws of Great Britain are to be deemed British vessels, and all vessels which according to the laws of Belgium are to be deemed Belgian vessels, are declared to be British and Belgian vessels respectively.\n\n### ARTICLE V.\n\nNo duties of tonnage, harbour, light-house, pilotage, quarantine, or other similar or corresponding duties, of whatever nature or under whatever denomination, levied for the profit or in the name of the Government, public functionaries, communes, corporations, or establishments of whatever kind, shall be imposed in the ports of either country, upon the vessels of the other country, from whatever port or place arriving, which shall not be equally imposed in the like cases on national vessels.\n\n### ARTICLE VI.\n\nIn all that regards the stationing, the loading, and unloading of vessels in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, or rivers of the two countries, no privilege shall be granted to national vessels, which shall not be equally granted to vessels of the other country;

        "content_text": "# Official Circular \n\nTo the Departments of the Government of Hongkong, \n\n1. His Excellency The Governor is pleased to direct the circulation of the following Memorandum among the Departments of this Government, and requires the attention of all Government Officers to the Instructions therein given, in order that the Public Business may be conveniently carried on. \n\n2. Through the many changes that have occurred from time to time in the various Departments, the Correspondence with the Colonial Secretary's Office has been conducted (a few instances excepted) with much irregularity. \n\n3. The following Rules therefore, originally circulated on 19th August, 1848, by command of the Right Honorable The Earl Grey, Secretary of State for the Colonies, are now reissued for general guidance. \n\n## **MEMORANDUM** on the forms to be observed in Official Correspondence with the Department of the Colonial Secretary.\n\n\"1. All Letters, as well as Enclosures, are to be written in a legible hand on foolscap size paper, one quarter of the page being left on the inner side, as a margin. \n\n\"2. All Letters to this Department are to be numbered, beginning at the commencement of each year with No. 1, and proceeding with the numbers successively to the end of the year. \n\n\"3. Each Letter must be confined as much as possible to a single subject. \n\n\"4. In transmitting Enclosures in Letters, the contents of those Enclosures are to be briefly stated in the body of the Letter, and attention is to be directed to such points contained in them as may appear to be particularly deserving of notice. Whenever it is mentioned in a Letter that a paper is enclosed, a line is to be made in the margin, and to such line is to be affixed the number corresponding to the number of the Enclosure. \n\n\"5. All Letters and the Enclosures which they may contain are to be folded and docketed. The docket of the Letter will consist of the place where, and the time when it was written, in the 1st and 2nd lines, respectively; the name of the writer and of the person to whom it is addressed in the 3rd and 4th; the number of the Letter in the 5th; the number of its Enclosures, if any, in the 6th; the word \"Received\" in the 7th with a blank after it, for the date of the day on which the said Letter shall be received; and in the 8th line a short Précis or abstract of its contents. \n\n\"The docket of the Enclosures will state what the Enclosure is (whether it be a Letter or any other document) its date, and its number; and will also contain a reference to the Letter in which it is transmitted. \n\n\"6. A Schedule (as per form annexed) of all Letters addressed to the Colonial Secretary during the preceding twelve months is to be transmitted to this Office at the close of each year.\" \n\n\"**NOTE**.---With reference to Paragraph 2, particular attention must be paid to keeping all Letters addressed to this Office entirely separate; that is to say, the regular sequence of their numbers is on no account to be interrupted by communications to other Departments.\" \n\n4. The copies of the Hongkong Government Gazette forwarded to each Department shall be carefully filed and preserved on record. \n\n5. All separate copies of Ordinances furnished to a Department shall in like manner be carefully preserved. \n\n6. Such copies of the Colonial Regulations as are placed in the Government Departments shall on no account be removed therefrom. \n\n7. A Book shall be kept at each Office, in which the Clerks and Subordinate Officers shall record the hour of their arrival on each morning (Sundays excepted) throughout the year, and after each leave of absence shall note the same and its duration in the said Book. The Head of each Department shall be held responsible for the observance of this Rule. \n\n8.

T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nI have inquired according to my promise into the statement of certain Chinese Residents in their Memorial of the 2nd Instant, as to the inconvenience and possible extortion in Chinese Ports to which the carriage of large painted Nos. on Licensed vessels might give rise. The whole subject has at my desire been carefully considered by the Chinese Authorities who are anxious to aid the Legislation undertaken by this Colony for suppressing Piracy - an object which the British and Imperial Governments have equally at heart.\n\nI have much pleasure therefore in now stating that I have just received information officially that the highest Chinese Authorities in the neighbouring Provinces do not consider the objections of Memorialists to be well founded, but that, nevertheless, as a proof of goodwill and of their anxiety to promote the views of this Government, circular orders have been issued to all Authorities at the Chinese Coast harbors to prevent attempts at extortion, or molestation of vessels having Hongkong Licenses.\n\nIf any Chinese Regulation requires a vessel to carry Nos. denoting Registry in a Chinese Port according to an old law, the renewal of which is contemplated with a view to assimilating the laws of Hongkong and China in all that regards the coasting trade, there nevertheless need be no apprehension of embarrassment arising from the two sets of figures. On the contrary, a vessel carrying both will enjoy a double security.\n\nI take this opportunity of making an explanation to those Memorialists who have quite recently expressed their hope that I would not enforce all restrictions of the Ordinance on the Passenger and Provision Boats that make frequent visits to Hongkong, and which restrictions they state \"have been regarded even by the local journals as likely to cause disproportionate expense and inconvenience.\"\n\nI am not responsible for explanations or views by others of the intended action of this Government. Yet though such strictures may be either erroneous or incomplete, Chinese Residents must have been gratified by observing the tendency of such remarks to uphold, as far as possible, the freedom of their coasting trade from all but the most necessary restrictions, and so far they anticipate the wishes of this Government.\n\nIt will suffice, however, to state that there never was an intention to subject ordinary Passenger and Provision Junks to the inconvenience and expense of procuring the numerous Passes, Notices, and Clearances required of other vessels.\n\nThe \"Special Permit\" mentioned in Clause 16 of the Ordinance is intended to meet such cases, — and a License of the first or second class - at a lower rate - according to tonnage will be granted to every Boat of that description which finds moderate security for good conduct and observance of the Law. At the foot of such License, it is intended to add a Special Permit dispensing until further notice with the observance of some or all those restrictions, as the case may be, which are only meant to apply when the vessels are less known. All such Licenses and Special Permits will of course be liable to forfeiture for misconduct, and violation of the Law - but, otherwise, it will probably be found by experience that such Vessels will practically suffer no greater inconvenience than at present.\n\nWhatever may be necessary to effect the leading object of the Ordinance, in tracing the conduct and pursuits of every vessel that visits the Port, will be inflexibly carried out. It is however not intended and would be most unwise to harass with needless restrictions vessels already well-known and not suspected.\n\nRICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL\n\nGovernor.\n\nGovernment House, 29th November, 1866.\n\n3 Enclosed\n\nPage 421",

E. le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères m'invite aujourd'hui à faire observer à S. E.\n\n1° que l'interprétation du Gouvernement de la Reine ne semble pas pouvoir se concilier avec le texte même des articles invoqués. En effet, à la différence du traité de 1843 qui n'accordait les honneurs et privilèges dont jouissent les vaisseaux de guerre ou paquebots-poste, propriétés de l'État, ou frétés pour le compte de l'État, la convention de 1856 a étendu précisément le même bénéfice aux bâtiments subventionnés par l'État et elle ne contient aucune clause restrictive qui interdise à cette catégorie de bâtiments de se charger de marchandises. De plus,\n\nau moment où la dite convention a été conclue, les contrats par lesquels le Gouvernement Impérial assurait, moyennant subvention, les transports de la poste à bord de navires appartenant à des compagnies privées, étaient en pleine vigueur; la nature de ces contrats était parfaitement connue et il semble notoire qu'en parlant de bâtiments subventionnés, l'on ait eu en vue des bâtiments mixtes qui, tout en étant, en principe, des paquebots-poste, transportent voyageurs et marchandises.\n\nLe cahier des charges, joint aux subventions et publié avec elles, dispose, en effet, d'une manière formelle, que la Compagnie des Messageries pourra transporter des voyageurs et des marchandises. En fait, tous les paquebots-poste anglais ou français sont aujourd'hui des bâtiments subventionnés qui transportent des marchandises et, si l'interprétation du Cabinet de Londres devait être maintenue, l'art. 5 de la convention de 1856 se trouverait absolument sans objet.\n\nJ'ai l'honneur, en les portant à votre connaissance, d'appeler sur ces considérations l'obligeante attention de S. E. et en la priant de vouloir bien, aussitôt qu'il lui sera possible, faire connaître les vues du Gouvernement de la Reine, relativement à cette question, je profite avec empressement de cette circonstance pour vous renouveler les assurances de ma haute considération.\n\n(a).

That the letters exchanged between Great Britain and its possessions by means of the French Post Office shall not, under any circumstances, be charged by the British Post Office with higher inland or sea rates than those chargeable for the same or for a similar service on letters which Great Britain exchanges by another route with the same possessions.\n\nARTICLE XXIX.\n\nThere shall be reserved in the four-gons, carriages, or vehicles conveying between Marseilles and Calais the mails from the East Indies to Great Britain, or from Great Britain to the East Indies, a place, free of charge, for a British courier, who shall keep the said mails under his special care, and who shall have the right to be present at the purification of the correspondence contained in those mails, whenever it shall take place, and at all other operations to which the said correspondence may be subjected.\n\nThe same advantages shall be granted over the territory of Great Britain to the couriers of the French Post Office, in case that Office shall think proper to send in charge of a French courier the mails containing the correspondence from or to France mentioned in Article XXVIII preceding.\n\nEn considération de cette réduction exceptionnelle, il est réciproquement convenu, savoir :\n\n1. Que la taxe étrangère applicable à chaque lettre à titre de remboursement des prix de transport, que chacune des deux Administrations paiera à l'autre en vertu du présent Article, ne pourra, en aucun cas, excéder trois pence par quart d'once Britannique, ou fraction de quart d'once Britannique.\n\n2.

Que les lettres échangées entre la Grande Bretagne et ses possessions par l'intermédiaire des Postes de France, ne pourront, sous aucun prétexte, être frappées, au profit de l'Administration des Postes Britanniques, de taxes territoriales, ou de voie de mer, supérieures à celles applicables pour le même service, ou pour un service analogue, aux lettres que la Grande Bretagne est dans le cas d'échanger par une autre voie avec ces mêmes possessions.\n\nARTICLE XXIX.\n\nIl sera réservé dans les fourgons, voitures, ou wagons qui transporteront entre Marseille et Calais les dépêches des Indes Orientales pour la Grande Bretagne, ou de la Grande Bretagne pour les Indes Orientales, une place gratuite pour un courrier Britannique, qui conservera les dites dépêches sous sa garde particulière, et qui pourra assister à la purification des correspondances contenues dans ces dépêches toutes les fois qu'elle devra avoir lieu, et à toutes les autres opérations auxquelles ces correspondances pourraient être soumises.\n\nLes mêmes avantages seront accordés sur le territoire de la Grande Bretagne aux courriers de l'Administration des Postes de France, dans le cas où cette Administration jugerait à propos de faire accompagner par un courrier Français les dépêches contenant les correspondances de ou pour la France mentionnées dans l'Article XXVIII précédent.\n\nARTICLE XXX.\n\nIt is understood that the weight of dead letters of every kind, as well as that of the letter-bills and other forms of accounts, consequent on the exchange of correspondence conveyed in closed mails by one of the two Offices on account of the other, and which are mentioned in the preceding Articles XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, and XXVIII, shall not be included in the weight of the letters, newspapers, and printed papers of every kind, on which shall be assessed the rate fixed by the said Articles.\n\nARTICLE XXXI.\n\nThe British Post Office and the French Post Office shall determine, by mutual consent, the conditions upon which shall be exchanged in open mails between the respective Offices of exchange, letters and printed papers of every kind, originating in or addressed to the colonies or foreign countries which make use of one of the two countries as a means of communicating with the other.\n\nNevertheless, it is reciprocally agreed, on the one side, that the British territorial rate applicable to letters exchanged as well in ordinary as in closed mails, by way of France, between Great Britain and the foreign countries, the correspondence of which is transmitted through France, shall not, in any case, exceed the British territorial rate applicable to letters which Great Britain may exchange with those same countries by any other route than that of France; and, on the other side, that the French territorial rate applicable to letters exchanged as well in ordinary as in closed mails by means of British mail-packets between France and countries beyond sea, shall not, in any case, exceed the French territorial rate applicable to letters which France may exchange with those same countries by means of French or foreign mail-packets.\n\nThe British Post Office and the Post Office of France shall also determine, by mutual consent, the conditions...\n\nARTICLE XXX.\n\nIl est entendu que le poids des correspondances de toute nature tombées en rebut, ainsi que celui des feuilles d'avis et autres pièces de comptabilité résultant de l'échange des correspondances transportées en dépêches closes par l'une des deux Administrations pour le compte de l'autre, et qui sont mentionnées dans les Articles XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, et XXVIII précédents, ne sera pas compris dans la pesée des lettres, journaux, et imprimés de toute nature, sur lesquels devront être assis les prix de transport fixés par les dits Articles.\n\nARTICLE XXXI.\n\nL'Administration des Postes Britanniques et l'Administration des Postes de France fixeront, d'un commun accord, les conditions auxquelles pourront être échangées à découvert entre les Bureaux d'échange respectifs, les lettres et les imprimés de toute nature originaires ou à destination des colonies et des pays étrangers qui empruntent l'intermédiaire de l'un des deux pays pour correspondre avec l'autre.\n\nToutefois, il est réciproquement convenu, d'une part, que la taxe territoriale Britannique applicable aux lettres échangées tant à découvert qu'en dépêches closes, par la voie de la France, entre la Grande Bretagne et les pays étrangers auxquels la France sert d'intermédiaire, ne pourra, en aucun cas, excéder la taxe territoriale Britannique applicable aux lettres que la Grande Bretagne est dans le cas d'échanger avec ces mêmes pays par une autre voie que celle de la France;

Stewart, Esq., in his academical costume, next approached, accompanied by several of the Government School-masters, who, sensible of the advantages which they themselves derived from the British Government, and of those also which the Chinese Community generally enjoyed from the efforts made in the Colony to extend education, had asked and obtained permission to express their gratitude on the occasion of His Royal Highness's visit. Their Address, which was presented by Leung-King-Ham who had been longest in the Government service, was also beautifully written and ornamented; it consisted of a roll of red satin, about 3 yards in length and 30 inches broad, enclosed within a broad border of figured silk, the predominating colour of which was grey—a very favourite border with the Chinese literati. This was covered on the back with green silk. The Chinese characters were then boldly impressed in gold, and, being beautifully executed, showed well on the red satin. A translation of their \"Complimentary Ode,\" for that is its proper description, and the reply of His Royal Highness, who graciously received it, is given in the Appendix, (E.)\n\nThis part of the proceedings was terminated by the presentation of an Address from the City Hall Committee, which was read by the Honorable W. Keswick, of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., to whose liberality the Hong-kong public are mainly indebted for that magnificent building. To this Address the Prince read a gracious reply, which, together with the Address, will be found in the Appendix, (F.)\n\nThe ceremonial of opening the City Hall and of the Levée being concluded, His Royal Highness, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, drove to Government House, where, as the guest of Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, rooms had been prepared for the reception of himself and his suite, the Military Band playing the National Anthem as he retired. The greater part of the road from the City Hall to Government House was lined with soldiers of the 29th Madras Native Infantry and the guard of honour awaiting His Royal Highness at Government House was furnished by the same Regiment. The Governor drew the Prince's attention to the fact that he was the first member of the Royal Family who had ever seen on actual duty any part of that large Indian Army now associated with so many of England's difficulties and triumphs.\n\n(15)\n\nA formal State Lunch at Government House followed, to which the Governor of Macao, of the leading Civil, Diplomatic, and Military Functionaries, all the members of Council, and a few of the principal Merchants, had been invited; and the day appropriately terminated with a Banquet, followed by a Reception held by Lady MacDonnell, at which about one hundred ladies of the Colony were presented to His Royal Highness, who stood at the right hand of her Ladyship during the ceremony. The hospitalities for which Government House is so famous were extended to a large number of guests; and the fine Reception Rooms, graced on this occasion by the presence of the Royal visitor and by that of the fair and the brave, never appeared to greater advantage. The evening was enlivened by the band of Her Majesty's 75th Regiment, which played a selection of fine music, and by dancing; and Government House and grounds were brilliantly illuminated for the occasion. Several German Amateurs also kindly entertained the company with pieces of vocal music known to be favourites with the Prince, who was greatly\n\n36",

        "content_text": "# \n\n## \n\ne. Lord Geo. Gorton, 1787; Rex v. Vint, 1501; Rex v. Peltier, temp. Napolcom First.--Those which are truly and properly \"the Sovereign's own suits\" and are filed by his own immediate officer, the Attorney General. The objects of this kind of information are properly such enormous misdemeanours as peculiarly tend to disturb or endanger the Government. There are but few instances of this kind of process among which may be mentioned the information (by command of Crown) for a libel against the French Ambassador (Rex v. D'Eon, in the year 1764, and the other cases cited in the margin.)\n\nLiberty, c.23 The last-mentioned prosecutions were probably not initiated by information, for it appears from private enquiries made at the Crown Office in London that no ex officio information for defamatory libel has been filed since the passing of Lord Campbell's Act (24th August, 1843). See also the note to Mills' Essay on the 12th chapter of Cooke on Defamation, which is devoted to this subject.\n\nSecondly--Informations in which though the Crown is the nominal prosecutor, yet it is at the relation of some private person and they are filed by the Attorney General Queen's Coroner and Attorney in the Queen's Bench usually called the \"Master of the Crown Office,\" who is for this purpose the standing officer of the public.\n\nIt is contended by some persons that this latter kind of remedy so common in England in cases of libel and generally known as a \"Criminal Information for Libel\" cannot be resorted to in this Colony, because no \"Master of the Crown Office\" has been eo nomine designated by the Ordinance or appointed by the Governor; but it appears to me that inasmuch as the office of the Supreme Court is the \"Crown Office\" of the Colony, its chief officer, the Registrar, may by implication and analogy discharge the functions of \"Master of the Crown Office.\"\n\nThe Supreme Court itself acted upon this impression in 1859, when a rule absolute for a criminal information for libel against Mr. TARRANT, the Editor of the Friend of China, was obtained, and the information was in the form of information by the Master of the Crown Office in England, and was filed and signed by the Registrar. The records of the Court show also that in the same year a rule nisi for a criminal information for libel against another Newspaper Editor, Mr. MURROW (of the Daily Press), was obtained, though it was subsequently abandoned.\n\nN.B.--The Defendant apologized.\n\nbeen dealt with under Ordinance No. 3 of 1865 (see Sections relating to private prosecutors.)\n\nThis being then the state of the Law in the Colony, as I view it, it was competent to the Macao Authorities either to apply to the Supreme Court for a rule for a criminal information against Mr. SAINT, or at all events to prosecute the Defendant under the provisions of Ordinance No. 3 of 1865; but instead of so doing they procured informations to be filed not in the statutory form provided by Ordinance No. 3 of 1865, but in the ancient form of \"ex officio informations by the Attorney General,\" the gist of the offence as laid in them being that the libels complained of tend to create discord between Great Britain and Portugal. The following complication, therefore, arises, that while the proceedings are thus clothed with the form and character of State prosecutions, they have not been instituted by command of the Crown (as might be supposed where it is suggested that the peace and safety of the Realm are menaced) but at the relation of third parties, whose object is to redress a private wrong and who have been allowed to be represented by their own Attorney and Counsel in the \"Sovereign's own suit.\" This is quite irregular for as Lord Mansfield says in the case of Rex v. D'Eon (1 Wm. Blackstone, 514) \"Informations ex officio are personally the King's prosecutions. No man is there to be considered in the light of a promoter or private prosecutor.\" There is a further irregularity in this respect that, according to my opinion, such an information as the one in question, on the principle laid down in the case cited in the margin, does not come within the operation of Lord Campbell's Act, and that the Defendant cannot legally plead a justification and recover his costs if successful, but it appears that the Macao Government, through their Counsel and with the sanction of the Court, have consented to a plea of justification being filed in answer to this information, and they have also given guarantees for the payment of costs if defeated, a state of things which, though highly creditable to the Macao Government as manifesting their sense of justice and fair play, is nevertheless quite incompatible with the nature of the proceeding instituted, and touches the constitutional rights of the Crown.\n\nCa. p. 42. Rex v. Duffy, 2 Cox. Cr. Cas. a extended to this Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1865, only to private prosecutions.\n\nNo. 2 of 1865.\n\nThe ordinary form of information under the Ordinance may be seen by reference to Section 5, and I transmit herewith a copy of the ex officio information filed against Mr. SAINT, and also a copy of the information in 1859 against Mr. TARRANT by the Registrar as Master of the Crown Office.\n\nN.B.--The Attorney General may put off the trial of an ex officio information for 12 months.\n\nGovernor Da Ponte e Horta.\n\nC. S. O. No. 280.\n\nThe information was filed on the 1st of May last; the pleas were put in on the 11th of July, and after a long delay insisted on by the prosecution and of which the Defendant complains as harassing, a demurrer to the plea of justification was filed on the 14th of December.\n\nConsiderable expense has been already incurred on both sides, and a de bene esse examination has been held of the late Governor of Macao, who has now returned to Europe.\n\nI have used my utmost endeavours to bring about an amicable settlement of the whole affair, but I regret to say that my efforts have been unsuccessful, and I am now compelled to take some definite step and either with the permission of the Governor to enter a nolle prosequi, or follow such other course as His Excellency may think desirable.\n\nI have the honor to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nJULIAN PAUNCEFOTE,\n\nAttorney General.\n\n## Minute of His Excellency the Governor on the above Letter.\n\nI reserve my decision individually till Mr. PAUNCEFOTE gives his advice in his capacity of Member of Executive Council, and as it will no doubt in such a case have special influence with the Members, I think this paper had better go to him first.\n\n20th January, 1869.\n\n## Minute of the Attorney General.\n\nR. G. M. D.\n\nI am inclined to think that this question should, if possible, be settled in a way which would give fair play to both sides without compromising the rights of the Crown. The difficulty is one of form--for in the proceeding instituted by the Acting Attorney General, the prosecution must be by the Crown alone and cannot be at the relation of a third party;--no plea of justification should be allowed as of right, and no costs should be given or taken. This, however, is a harsh mode of dealing with the Defendant and would no doubt have been discountenanced by the Government if they had been consulted in the beginning. In order to mitigate this procedure, the Acting Attorney General consented to a plea of justification and obtained from the Macao Authorities an indemnity as to costs which he seems to have assumed would be payable by the Crown, under Section 3 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1857 in case the prosecution failed. The Defendant was thus placed in the same position practically as if a criminal information by the Master of the Crown Office had been filed.",

It is further agreed that, at the ports of Wen-chow and Wuhu, which are opened to British trade by Articles VI and X, British subjects shall enjoy the same advantages and immunities as they enjoy at the ports already opened to trade.\n\nIt is also understood that, in connection with the pilotage arrangements in Article X, China will take such measures as may be necessary for the lighting, buoying, and policing of the coast, rivers, and ports, and for the conservation of the same, the tonnage dues being charged with the outlay. A general statement of such measures, with the amounts expended, will form a part of the returns made public each year by the Inspector-General.\n\nThe Chinese Government is declared to have complete jurisdiction along its coasts and rivers, and the British Government will insure due respect on the part of British shipmasters and others, to such rules and regulations as shall be formed, necessary for the effective conservance of the ports and rivers open to trade.\n\nThis despatch, supplementing the Convention this day signed by the High Contracting Parties, is addressed on the same day to his Excellency the British Minister.\n\n## Inclosure 4.\n\nM. de Rehfues to Sir R. Alcock.\n\nM. le Ministre et cher Collègue,\n\nPeking, ce 25 Octobre, 1869.\n\nJ'AI reçu la note que vous avez bien voulu m'adresser relativement à la conclusion des négociations pour la révision du Traité de Tien-tsin, et je me suis empressé de la porter à la connaissance de nos collègues. Je vous félicite d'avoir enfin mené à bon port ces négociations laborieuses, et je ne doute pas que mon Gouvernement ne preuve un intérêt vif au résultat; mais avant d'adresser à cet égard un rapport circonstancié à Berlin, il faut attendre, ainsi que vous le comprendrez, le moment où je serais mis à même d'examiner le texte même de la Convention signée le 23 courant entre vous et le Gouvernement Chinois.\n\nSir,\n\n## Inclosure 5.\n\nJe saisis, &c. (Signé) REHFUS.\n\nSir R. Alcock to the Prince of Kung.\n\nPeking, October 6, 1869.\n\nI HAVE been instructed to represent to the Government of His Imperial Majesty the expediency of some relaxation of the rules by which the British merchant is at present prevented from importing salt into China.\n\nThe relaxation contemplated is this: that the Chinese Government allow the British merchants to import into the port of Shanghae a limited number of cargoes of salt, say a cargo per month, or twelve cargoes a year, for the period of five years. An import duty would, of course, be levied on the article, and by means of the foreign collectorate the trade could be put on a satisfactory footing.\n\nIt must be well known to your Highness that a supply of good and cheap salt for the people is a most important consideration, second only, indeed, to that of grain, quantities of which China is glad to receive from foreign countries.\n\nFifteen years ago the import of salt to British India was prohibited, and the salt trade generally in that country was on much the same footing as is that of China. Year after year the restrictions on its import have been gradually removed, and foreign salt is now admitted on payment of a fixed duty like other goods.\n\nThe results have been advantageous to Government and people; the salt revenue in India has doubled; the people can get good salt at a cheap rate; the duty is collected in one payment at the port of entry, so that the salt smuggler has ceased to exist. The labourer who produced the native salt, now produces jute for the English market, rice, and a variety of oil-bearing plants, working for a much higher rate of wages than he did previously, and becoming a producer instead of a consumer of food.\n\nI submit the above consideration to your Imperial Highness, and am satisfied that the experiment suggested will be highly advantageous both to the British salt merchants and to the revenue and people of China, while such an experimental concession would be received with satisfaction by Her Majesty's Government.\n\nI renew, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n(Signed) RUTHERFORD ALCOCK.\n\n## Inclosure 6.\n\nThe Prince of Kung to Sir R. Alcock.\n\n**THE Prince of Kung makes a communication in reply.**\n\nON the 6th instant his Highness received a despatch from the British Minister requesting that, as an experiment during five years, one foreign ship per month - during the year twelve in all - might be permitted to bring a cargo of salt to the Port of Shanghae, the duties to be charged on the article being made the subject of arrangement between the two Powers, &c.\n\nThe Prince has to observe that, with regard to the import of foreign salt, memoranda exchanged while the Treaty was under revision were very explicit as to the impossibility of removing the prohibition; for there is a certain amount of salt produced in China, which is divided into a fixed number of lots; and if in addition to this quantity foreign salt were to be introduced, some of the native article must cease to circulate.\n\nThe amount receivable as duty on the foreign salt would not indemnify the losses of the salt gabelle.\n\nMoreover, the (number of) licensed merchants, the number of licenses issued for each locality, and the quantity of salt saleable under these, is by law prescribed. If the native article ceases to circulate in any district, then the permits issued there are bought to no purpose, and the licenses are subjected to very serious losses.\n\nThere are hundreds of thousands of the population, too, who make their living out of the salt, being either engaged in its manufacture or in its transport. Simple as the people of China are, these would certainly not submit to be, as the British Minister's despatch suggests, turned into cultivators of jute, abandoning a certain means of livelihood for wages in prospective, nor is there any quantity of vacant ground for them to till.\n\nThere is a Treaty provision prohibiting [trade in] salt, and it will be inexpedient to modify the regulations in this respect.\n\nDuring the course of this present year, an Australian merchant was detected bringing a cargo of salt to Tien-tsin. This case was leniently dealt with, by the confiscation of the salt only; the merchant was not punished, as this was his first visit to China, and he was not familiar with the Treaty. But, for the future, clandestine trade in salt by any and every foreign merchant will be punished as the Treaty requires.\n\nForeign salt cannot be put on the same footing as foreign grain, as the despatch under acknowledgment suggests.\n\nAs in duty bound the Prince addresses his Excellency the British Minister. A necessary communication.\n\nPRINTED AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE BY T. HARRISON.-1/1/70.\n\n292",

GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.**\"\n\nThe following reply was received:\n\n\"**MONSIEUR LE GOUVERNEUR,**\n\n\"CONSULAT DE FRANCE à HONGKONG,\nle 21 Avril, 1871.\n\n\"J'ai l'honneur de vous accuser réception de votre Lettre en date du 20 courant concernant le nommé KWOK-A-SING, un des meurtriers du Capitaine et de l'Equipage de la Nouvelle Penelope, qui comparaitra devant Votre Excellence le 26 de ce présent mois.\n\n\"Je regrette de ne pouvoir présenter les deux matelots Français témoins à charge. Ces hommes, après leur dépositions devant le Police Magistrate, ont du conformément aux lois Françaises, se ré-embarquer et reprendre leur service. Il m'a été impossible de les garder indéfiniment, et la tournure extraordinaire et inattendue que le procès a pris à la Supreme Court aurait été préjudiciable aux interets pécuniaires de pauvres gens sans ressources et qui ne pouvaient et ne devaient rester plus longtemps à la charge du Consulat: de là leur absence.\n\n\"Cependant je suis heureux de pouvoir formuler l'espoir que les témoins Chinois WONG-A-HEE et CHUN-A-PEN comparaitront par devant Votre Excellence. J'ai écrit à ce sujet à mon Collègue de Canton qui agira sans delai de façon à m'envoyer avant le 25 Avril les Chinois sus mentionnés.\n\n\"Pourtant il se pourrait qu'il y ent des retards et en ce cas je vous prierais, Monsieur le Gouverneur, si besoin est, de remettre à nouveau la cause KWOK-A-SING, en vous en exprimant ma reconnaissance.\n\n\"Veuillez agréer, Monsieur le Gouverneur, l'assurance de ma haute et respectueuse considération.\n\n\"A Son Excellence\n\"Le Gérant du Consulat,\n(Signed,)\n**CH.

WHITFEILD,\n“Lt.-Gouverneur à Hongkong.”\n\nThe French Consul declined to proceed further with his demand for the Extradition of the Prisoner to his Government, on the ground that, after the Judgment delivered by the Chief Justice wherein he declares the Crime charged to be no Crime at all, but rather a commendable proceeding, and the Nouvelle Penelope to have been a Slaver and her Captain a Pirate, it would be inexpedient to expose his Government to the mortification of seeing the Prisoner again released and to a repetition of the same accusations against the unfortunate victims.\n\nUnder these circumstances, and the French Witnesses having returned to the Colony, I thought it my duty to bring the Prisoner to Trial in the Supreme Court before a Jury on the charge of Piracy jure gentium, which the Chief Justice stated in his Judgment was the Crime to which the charge amounted to, if it amounted to any Crime at all.",

        "content_text": "## \nI have added in Appendix E and F, a letter addressed to me by Deputy Inspector General POTTINGER of H.M.'s Naval Hospital; and statistics from Surgeon RAMSAY of H.M.'s 75th Regiment in reference to the freedom of the men of his regiment from contagious disease. The evidence of these gentlemen is extremely valuable and gratifying to myself, under whose care the medical examinations have been carried on for the past twelve years. Both gentlemen have had experience of Hongkong, and known what \"Hongkong Disease\" was, before the introduction of the Contagion Diseases Ordinance into the Colony—and both agree as to the great contrast.\n\nDr. POTTINGER says: \"Judging from my own experience, I should say that Syphilis has all but disappeared from the Colony.\" Dr. RAMSAY writes: \"I may add that during an experience of 16 years as an Army Medical Officer in all climates, I have not seen a similar immunity.\"\n\nDr. POTTINGER refers to my method of examination and says: \"The instruments used by you are admirably adapted for bringing into view the parts, including the Os and Cervix Uteri, very quickly, thoroughly and without the least pain to the female.\" Deputy Inspector Dr. BERNARD wrote to me in 1868: \"I was much struck by the method adopted by you, combining as it does an efficient searching inspection with great rapidity of execution and appearing to me much better than that made with the ordinary speculum.\" Dr. HEFFERNAN, Deputy Inspector General, writing in regard to the same matter refers to these instruments thus: \"I have witnessed this examination as carried out by you here, and consider it to be done most effectually.\" Surgeon Major BARNIER of the French Frigate \"Guerrière\" who had great experience in France, after expressing his opinion as to the \"peu de gravité et du petit nombre des cas de Syphilis contractés par les Européens dans cette ville,\" says in reference to these instruments: \"J'ai vu examiner ces femmes avec un instrument inventé par le Docteur MURRAY, Colonial Surgeon, et j'ai constaté que l'emploi, d'ailleurs très facile, de cet instrument, permet d'examiner en moyenne trois femmes par minute.\" I have only to add that Dr. NEWTON, who has charge of the Lock Hospitals and the prevention of Syphilis in Japan, uses no other instruments and writes of them: \"They are such effective instruments, much superior to any kind of speculum.\"\n\nI shall be glad to find that the value of these instruments, which a twelve years' daily use has enabled me to perfect, is appreciated by the Profession and that they are brought into general use, as it is impossible to imagine anything that could be used better adapted to the purpose for which they are intended, or more likely to facilitate the carrying out of the Ordinance with advantage. The two points I have constantly kept in view being rapidity of employment combined with an effectual and searching examination, I believe that I have succeeded in attaining these objects. This, however, is no place in which to describe the instruments themselves.\n\n## Table XI\nTable XI shows the approximative estimate of the mortality among the Foreign Residents in Hongkong during the past thirteen years. It does not include Deaths among Soldiers, Sailors whether of the Navy or Merchant Service, nor those buried from the Hospitals, who are usually non-Residents. It has no pretension to accuracy, nor can it be any more than approximative, until some system of Registration of Deaths is introduced. This is a matter of the greatest importance and really of more interest to every Resident in the Colony than is generally supposed, for until it is possible to obtain proper statistics of the actual mortality and the cause of death, in all cases, a valuable aid is withdrawn from the medical practitioner in the treatment of disease.\n\n## Table XII and XIII\nTable XII gives the usual information regarding the work performed by the Inspector of Nuisances attached to this Department.

L. de La Forcet.\n\nGrant Snout du Consulat de France\n\n[1.5]\n\nPrincipal Agent M.M. to Governor\n\nA Son Excellence Sir Arthur Kennedy, K.C.B., Gouverneur de Hongkong, &c., &c., Hongkong.\n\nMONSIEUR LE GOUVERNEUR, - Le steamer Ava, paquebot-poste de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, se trouvait sous vapeur, n'attendant plus que les dépêches pour se mettre en route pour Saigon, lorsque aujourd'hui, à 4 heures 40 après midi, quelques instants avant l'arrivée de Mr. L'Agent des Postes, Monsieur Tonnochy, Marshall de la Cour de Vice Amirauté, accompagné d'un constable, monta à bord de l'Ava, présenta au Capitaine de ce bâtiment un Warrant de saisie-arrêt, signé de Monsieur Alexander, Registrar de la Cour, et portant le sceau de la Cour de l'Amirauté de Hongkong, par lequel il signifiait au Capitaine de l'Ava qu'il mettait embargo sur son navire et le saisissait au nom du Gouvernement de S. M. la Reine d'Angleterre, à la requête des propriétaires et Capitaine du Rona.\n\nMonsieur le Consul de France, qui se trouvait à bord dans ce moment, fit, en présence du Capitaine de l'Ava, observer au Marshall que cette saisie était illégale, irrégulière et tout-à-fait contraire aux clauses de l'Article 5e de la Convention de 1856, intervenue entre le Gouvernement Français et le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique, Convention par laquelle les Paquebots-Postes des Messageries Maritimes, subventionnés par l'Etat, doivent être considérés comme Navires de Guerre, et jouir des mêmes droits et privilèges que ces derniers; qu'en aucun cas et à aucun titre, en vertu de cette même Convention, les dits paquebots ne peuvent être saisis, détournés de leur route, ni sujets à embargo ou arrêt de Prince; qu'en conséquence, le Capitaine de l'Ava n'avait pas à tenir compte de la saisie qui lui était notifiée, et qu'il partirait à l'heure fixée pour son départ, c'est-à-dire à 5 heures du soir.\n\nLe Marshall répondit alors au Consul de France et au Capitaine qu'il n'avait qu'à exécuter l'ordre qu'il avait de saisir l'Ava, et, malgré la protestation du Consul et du Capitaine, il fit monter à bord de ce paquebot plusieurs soldats en armes, avec fusils et baïonnettes, et leur donna l'ordre de prendre possession du bâtiment, ce qu'ils firent, en occupant la passerelle et plusieurs parties du navire.\n\nInformé par moi de ces faits, Monsieur l'Amiral Français envoya immédiatement à bord de l'Ava son Chef d'Etat Major, qui fit au Marshall les mêmes protestations et observations.\n\nEXTRACT FROM THE CONVENTION BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH, RELATIVE TO COMMUNICATION BY POST.\n\nSigned at Paris, September 24th, 1856. (Ratifications exchanged at Paris, November 19th, 1856.)\n\nARTICLE V.\n\n\"Lorsque les paquebots employés par l'Administration des Postes Britanniques ou par l'Administration des Postes de France, en exécution des Articles I et II de la présente Convention, seront des bâtiments nationaux, propriété de l'Etat, ou des bâtiments affrétés ou subventionnés par l'Etat, ils seront considérés et reçus comme Vaisseaux de guerre dans les ports des deux pays où ils aborderont régulièrement ou accidentellement, et ils y jouiront des mêmes honneurs et privilèges.\n\nCes paquebots seront exempts, dans les dits ports, tant à leur entrée qu'à leur sortie, de tous droits de tonnage, de navigation, et de port; excepté toutefois les bâtiments affrétés ou subventionnés par l'Etat, lesquels devront acquitter ces droits dans les ports où ils sont établis au profit des corporations, compagnies particulières, ou personnes privées.\n\nIl ne pourront, à aucun titre, être détournés de leur destination, ni être sujets à saisie, arrêt, embargo, ou arrêt de Prince.\"\n\nCe dernier, pour appuyer la prise de possession qu'il avait déjà faite, fit monter d'autres soldats à bord de l'Ava, et répondit au Chef d'Etat Major et au Consul qu'il emploierait la force et, au besoin, ordonnerait aux soldats, sous ses ordres, de se servir de leurs armes, arrêtant le Capitaine s'il le fallait, pour remplir son mandat et maintenir la saisie de l'Ava.\n\nEn présence de ces faits arbitraires, en désaccord flagrant avec la Convention de 1856, nous dûmes céder à la force, tout en protestant énergiquement contre cette violation armée, par l'autorité locale, en pleine rade de Hongkong, d'un Paquebot-Poste Français qui devait suffisamment protéger la Convention internationale précitée, lui reconnaissant et lui octroyant les droits, privilèges et immunités d'un navire de guerre. Ces droits furent méconnus, en connaissance de cause et publiquement, et le Paquebot-Poste l'Ava, de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, ayant à bord les malles et dépêches, fut saisi illégalement et ne put appareiller de Hongkong.\n\nJe viens en conséquence, Monsieur le Gouverneur, au nom de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes et des intérêts postaux et commerciaux, lésés d'une manière flagrante en cette circonstance, protester par la présente, de la manière la plus solennelle, contre cet acte inqualifiable, contraire à la Convention précitée de 1856.\n\nJe fais toutes réserves possibles pour les réclamations ultérieures de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, contre cet embargo inexplicable et imprévu, signifié au Capitaine de l'Ava, moins de vingt minutes avant l'heure fixée pour le départ de ce paquebot, et je tiens qui de droit responsable des conséquences, quelles qu'elles puissent être, de la saisie illégale de l'Ava - saisie, je le répète, contraire aux Clauses de l'Article 5 et autres de la Convention de 1856, dont lecture a été faite par le Consul de France au Marshall de la Cour, qui n'en a pas tenu compte.\n\nVeuillez agréer, Monsieur le Gouverneur, l'assurance du profond respect, avec lequel j'ai l'honneur, etc.,\n\nSigné: Á. CUNIL, Agent Principal de la Cie. des Messageries Maritimes.",

Les passagers de Nationalité Coolie embarqués à bord de ces navires ne peuvent, en effet, être assimilés à des coolies ordinances puisqu'ils payent eux-mêmes leurs places comme les autres voyageurs; qu'ils possèdent les mêmes droits que leurs compagnons de route et que, par conséquent, ils n'ont pas besoin d'être mis sous la protection des règlements spéciaux concernant les coolies.\n\nDans l'espérance que le Gouv. de S.M. voudra bien prendre en considération les observations que j'ai l'honneur de lui présenter, je prie S.E. de vouloir bien agréer...\n\nCh.

un certain nombre d'entre eux ont même su se mettre à la hauteur des obligations multiples qui leur incombent.\n\nMais les nécessités mêmes de leur carrière militaire, le souci naturel de leur avancement et les mouvements qui s'opèrent dans les corps constitués, s'opposent à ce qu'ils puissent se consacrer exclusivement à l'administration des affaires indigènes.\n\nL'inspection, d'ailleurs, n'est pas une carrière, et ceux qui s'y consacrent n'y trouvent pas la sécurité et les garanties que comportent un climat meurtrier et des postes dangereux.\n\nD'un autre côté, l'accomplissement de la mission civilisatrice que la France a assumée dans ces parages, le travail d'assimilation qu'elle doit poursuivre, exigent que les hommes qui sont appelés à administrer les indigènes possèdent une instruction à la fois large et spéciale, embrassant la législation française et l'ensemble des lois et coutumes cochinchinoises.\n\nLa connaissance de la langue annamite doit être aujourd'hui exigée des fonctionnaires chargés de représenter l'autorité française auprès des indigènes.\n\nLes administrateurs de 2e classe sont chargés de tout ce qui touche à l'administration, au contentieux et à l'établissement de l'impôt.\n\nEnfin, ceux de 3e classe ont à pourvoir à la perception des taxes diverses et à l'enregistrement, dans les localités où il n'est pas possible d'établir des agents spéciaux.\n\nCe soin est rendu facile par les habitudes indigènes et l'intervention des municipalités annamites: il ne nécessite chez le fonctionnaire qui en est investi que de l'ordre, de la probité et une connaissance plus sommaire des choses locales.\n\nC'est la fonction de début; elle laisse à l'administrateur des loisirs qu'il pourra utilement employer à compléter ses études et à se préparer aux épreuves qu'il aura ultérieurement à subir.\n\nLes administrateurs sont, d'ailleurs, indépendants les uns des autres et relèvent directement, suivant la spécialité de leurs attributions, des chefs d'administration et de service résidant à Saïgon.\n\nAinsi se trouve établie la séparation entre des fonctions qui, d'après les règles d'une saine administration, ne sauraient être réunies dans les mêmes mains.\n\nLa constitution du corps des inspecteurs et administrateurs repose sur la vérification des aptitudes.\n\nDes garanties générales d'instruction sont exigées au seuil de la carrière; elles ouvrent l'accès du collège où le stagiaire complète ses études avec des éléments spéciaux et pour ainsi dire techniques.\n\nCes études devront porter sur les langues vulgaires annamite et cambodgienne, sur la langue mandarine annamite et sur l'écriture de cette langue en caractères chinois;\n\nSur la législation, l'administration et l'organisation cambodgienne.\n\nElles comprendront, en outre, les diverses branches de l'administration française, le régime financier; enfin, la construction pratique et un cours de botanique ayant spécialement pour objet la flore du pays.\n\nEn retour d'aptitudes aussi variées et d'une instruction aussi étendue, il est juste que les administrateurs trouvent dans leurs fonctions tous les avantages qu'on rencontre dans les corps organisés: une carrière, une solde honorable, un avancement en rapport avec le mérite démontré; enfin, une assurance contre les risques exceptionnels d'un climat meurtrier.\n\nTelles sont les considérations qui ont présidé à la préparation du projet de décret ci-joint, portant organisation du service des affaires indigènes en Cochinchine.\n\nQuatre ordres de fonctions sont dévolues aux administrateurs.\n\nAvant d'obtenir la classe inférieure des administrateurs, le stagiaire doit subir d'une façon satisfaisante des épreuves sérieuses.\n\nIl rencontre l'examen à tous les degrés de l'échelle, sauf au degré supérieur, où le choix a été admis, cette exception se justifiant par la succession des épreuves auxquelles l'administrateur a dû se soumettre avant d'arriver à la...",

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nclasse où sont exclusivement puisés les inspecteurs.\n\nCes garanties de capacité étant admises, il est désirable que les administrateurs voués au service des affaires indigènes s'y consacrent tout entiers. Aussi, tout officier ou fonctionnaire doit, en y entrant, être placé en congé sans solde, dans les conditions du décret du 15 juin 1870. J'ai voulu ainsi assurer à la colonie le bénéfice de l'expérience acquise par des agents qui la servent. Mais ce sacrifice doit être compensé par des garanties en rapport avec l'abandon préalablement exigé, et c'est dans un but de compensation que j'ai proposé la création de la caisse de prévoyance.\n\nIl est hors de doute que le climat de la Cochinchine use promptement la santé des Européens et que les dangers attachés à la résidence prolongée dans cette colonie sont de nature à en éloigner les hommes de talent que réclame son administration. Il est donc juste de garantir à ceux qui s'y dévouent une rémunération avantageuse, et, après un nombre restreint d'années de séjour, une retraite ou des ressources qui leur assurent une existence honorable.\n\nC'est pour le pays un devoir d'honneur vis-à-vis des agents qui exposent leur vie et compromettent presque toujours leur santé à son service, de reconnaître et de compenser ces sacrifices. C'est également à un point de vue secondaire qu'il n'est pas permis de dédaigner le moyen d'éloigner d'eux les tentations qui assaillent en pays neuf des fonctionnaires auxquels il faut laisser beaucoup d'initiative. Ceci est particulièrement vrai dans les pays asiatiques, où les populations sont habituées depuis longtemps aux exactions de leurs administrateurs indigènes.\n\nEn présence des lois qui régissent les pensions du département de la marine et qui ne comportent pas d'exception, j'ai pensé qu'il convenait, pour atteindre le but, de constituer, à titre de libéralité et pour ces situations toutes particulières, une caisse de prévoyance alimentée par une dotation du budget local de la colonie et régie par un conseil d'administration pris parmi les fonctionnaires non intéressés directement dans la répartition de ces fonds.\n\nl'institution proposée et le bénéfice qu'en recueillera l'administration, tant au point de vue du service que de l'influence à exercer sur les populations indigènes.\n\nTelle est l'économie de ce décret d'organisation dont la mise en pratique me paraît devoir produire d'excellents effets. J'ai dû le compléter par quelques dispositions transitoires destinées à consacrer les droits acquis par les inspecteurs actuels, tout en conservant les garanties de capacité et d'aptitude que l'institution nouvelle est destinée à consacrer chez les fonctionnaires qui seront désormais chargés de l'administration des populations soumises à notre autorité en Cochinchine.\n\nEn somme, dans ma pensée, cette organisation réalise sur celles qui l'ont précédée un progrès réel. Elle forme une étape nouvelle dans la voie de l'assimilation où nous devons entrer résolument, mais avec tous les ménagements que comporte la différence considérable existant entre nos institutions et celles des Annamites. C'est donc avec confiance, monsieur le Président, que j'ai l'honneur de soumettre ce projet à votre signature.\n\nVeuillez agréer, monsieur le Président, l'hommage de mon respect et de mon dévouement.\n\nLe ministre de la marine et des colonies,\n**A. POTHUAU**\n\n## Décret\n\nLe Président de la République française,\nSur le rapport du ministre de la marine et des colonies,\nLe conseil d'amiranté entendu;\n\nConsidérant qu'il convient de donner au service des affaires indigènes en Cochinchine une organisation qui réponde à son importance, et aux exigences spéciales de notre situation dans ce pays:\n\n**Décrète :**\n\n### Article 1er\nIl est créé en Cochinchine, sous le titre d'inspecteurs et d'administrateurs des affaires indigènes, des fonctionnaires civils spécialement chargés :\n\n1. De l'inspection des divers services indigènes;\n2. De la justice à l'égard des indigènes et à l'égard des Européens, dans les limites fixées par les décrets des 25 juillet 1864 et 7 mars 1868, concernant l'organisation judiciaire de la colonie et le notariat;\n3. De l'administration générale, de l'établissement de l'impôt; du contentieux administratif;\n4. De la perception de l'impôt et de l'enregistrement sur les points où n'existent pas d'agents spéciaux; du payement des dépenses, de la poste, du télégraphe, du cadastre et des écoles.\n\n### Article 2\nLes inspecteurs sont exclusivement chargés des premières fonctions. Les administrateurs sont divisés en trois classes correspondant aux trois autres ordres d'attributions définies à l'article 1.\n\nLes inspecteurs résident à Saigon, l'un d'entre eux est chargé du bureau de la justice indigène. Ils sont, ainsi que les administrateurs de 2e classe, placés sous les ordres immédiats du directeur de l'intérieur; les administrateurs de 3e classe relèvent du procureur général et du bureau de la justice indigène; ceux de 1re classe relèvent du trésorier-payeur général et reçoivent les instructions du chef du service de l'enregistrement.\n\nIls sont inscrits sur un tableau d'ordre, à mesure des vacances dans leur ordre d'inscription.\n\nLes inspecteurs sont pris au choix parmi les administrateurs de 1re classe.\n\n### Article 3\nLes inspecteurs et administrateurs des affaires indigènes sont nommés par décret du chef du pouvoir exécutif, sur la proposition du ministre de la marine et des colonies.\n\nIls sont recrutés par voie d'examen, parmi les administrateurs stagiaires.\n\n### Article 4\nLes administrateurs stagiaires sont nommés par le gouverneur de la Cochinchine. Ils peuvent être choisis sans examens préalables :\n\n1. Parmi les jeunes gens bacheliers ès lettres ou bacheliers ès sciences, civils ou militaires, non officiers;\n2. Parmi les officiers sortant de l'école polytechnique, de l'école militaire ou de l'école navale;\n3. Parmi les licenciés en droit et les élèves de l'école centrale pourvus d'un brevet d'ingénieur civil;\n4. Parmi les officiers des différents corps de la marine, bacheliers ès-lettres ou bacheliers ès-sciences;\n5. Parmi les employés de l'administration centrale comptant au moins deux ans de service et parmi ceux de la direction de l'intérieur remplissant au moins les fonctions de premier commis ou d'interprète de 1re classe ayant au moins deux ans de service dans la colonie. Les uns et les autres doivent être pourvus du diplôme de bachelier ès lettres ou de bachelier ès-sciences.\n\nLes candidats de toute catégorie doivent être âgés de 20 ans au moins et de 28 ans au plus et avoir satisfait à la loi sur le recrutement.\n\n### Article 5\nUn collège spécial pour les stagiaires est établi à Saigon. Ils y passent un temps d'étude dont la durée est déterminée par le règlement constitutif dudit collège. (Art. 15.)\n\nÀ la fin de cette période, ils peuvent être nommés administrateurs de 3e classe, s'ils ont satisfait aux épreuves d'un examen spécial.\n\nIl sera fait application aux officiers et fonctionnaires de tous les corps de la marine admis au collège de Saigon, des dispositions du décret du 15 juin 1870, en vertu duquel des congés sans solde de trois ou six ans peuvent être concédés aux officiers détachés à l'industrie.\n\nCeux d'entre eux qui ont subi deux fois sans succès l'examen réglementaire sont définitivement exclus. Un passage de retour en France leur est accordé aux frais de la colonie, ainsi qu'une indemnité de licenciement.\n\nLes stagiaires sont placés sous les ordres du directeur de l'intérieur.\n\n### Article 6\nPour passer à la classe supérieure, les administrateurs doivent compter deux ans de service dans leur classe et doivent en outre satisfaire aux épreuves d'un examen, d'après un programme déterminé, devant une commission spéciale qui se réunira dans ce but tous les ans à époque fixe.\n\n| Rang | Traitement colonial |\n| --- | --- |\n| Inspecteur | 18.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 1re classe | 13.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 2e classe | 10.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 3e classe | 8.000 fr. |\n| Stagiaire | 5.000 fr. |\n\n### Article 7\nChaque période de trois ans de services consécutifs dans la colonie donne droit à un congé de six mois avec solde en Europe.\n\nTout inspecteur ou administrateur dont les congés successifs ont atteint le chiffre de dix-huit mois est considéré comme démissionnaire s'il n'a pas rejoint la colonie à ce terme.\n\n### Article 8\nToutefois, un de ces congés pourra être porté à dix-huit mois dans les mêmes conditions pour permettre à l'administrateur qui en jouira de suivre les cours de droit français dans une faculté et d'acquérir les connaissances de jurisprudence et les brevets exigés par les programmes pour passer aux classes supérieures. L'administrateur devra justifier de cette étude, soit par la production du brevet obtenu, soit par un certificat d'assiduité aux cours délivré par la faculté.\n\n### Article 9\nLorsqu'ils sont embarqués sur un bâtiment de guerre, admis dans un hôpital militaire, les inspecteurs et les administrateurs de 1re classe sont classés avec les officiers supérieurs; les administrateurs de 2e classe et de 3e classe, et les stagiaires avec les officiers subalternes.\n\n### Article 10\nEn cas de manquement grave au service, les inspecteurs et administrateurs peuvent être provisoirement suspendus par arrêté du gouverneur. Cette décision est soumise à la sanction du ministre à qui il appartient de fixer la durée de la suspension. La révocation ne peut être prononcée que par le chef de l'État, sur le rapport du ministre de la marine et des colonies, à la suite d'une enquête faite par le conseil privé de la colonie.\n\nLa suspension provisoire ne peut entraîner la privation de plus de la moitié du traitement colonial.\n\n### Article 11\nLes stagiaires qui ont encouru pour leur conduite trois avertissements du directeur de l'intérieur peuvent être renvoyés du collège des stagiaires par décision du gouverneur.\n\n### Article 12\nLe cadre des inspecteurs et administrateurs est fixé ainsi qu'il suit :\n\n| Catégorie | Nombre |\n| --- | --- |\n| Inspecteurs | 5 |\n| Administrateurs de 1re classe | 7 |\n| Administrateurs de 2e classe | 19 |\n| Administrateurs de 3e classe | 22 |\n| Stagiaires | ... |\n\nLe nombre des stagiaires à admettre est déterminé chaque année par le gouverneur sur la proposition du directeur de l'intérieur.\n\n### Article 13\nLe traitement colonial des inspecteurs et administrateurs est fixé comme suit :\n\n| Rang | Traitement colonial | Traitement d'Europe |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Inspecteur | 18.000 fr. | 9.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 1re classe | 13.000 fr. | 6.500 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 2e classe | 10.000 fr. | 5.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 3e classe | 8.000 fr. | 4.000 fr. |\n| Stagiaire | 5.000 fr. | 2.500 fr. |\n\n### Article 14\nLes inspecteurs reçoivent une indemnité de logement dont la quotité sera fixée par le gouverneur en conseil.\n\nLes administrateurs en service sont logés et meublés aux frais de la colonie.\n\n### Article 15\nUn arrêté spécial déterminera la constitution du collège, l'organisation et le programme des études, la durée assignée aux cours, la solde des professeurs et le programme des examens publics que doivent subir les administrateurs, ainsi que les délais dans lesquels les stagiaires non admis au premier examen pourront être appelés à subir une nouvelle épreuve.\n\nIl est fondé en Cochinchine, à titre de libéralité, une caisse de prévoyance destinée à assurer aux inspecteurs et administrateurs, au moment où ils quitteront la carrière, un capital en proportion avec la durée et l'importance de leurs services dans la colonie.\n\n### Article 16\nCette caisse est régie, conformément aux dispositions suivantes, par un conseil d'administration composé :\n\n* Du directeur de l'intérieur, président;\n* Du procureur général;\n* Du trésorier-payeur.\n\n### Article 17\nLa caisse de prévoyance est constituée au moyen d'un versement fait chaque année par le budget local et calculé proportionnellement au temps passé par chaque inspecteur ou administrateur en service actif dans la colonie d'après le tarif suivant :\n\n| Rang | Versement annuel |\n| --- | --- |\n| Inspecteur | 3.500 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 1re classe | 3.000 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 2e classe | 2.500 fr. |\n| Administrateur de 3e classe | 2.000 fr. |\n\n### Article 18\nLes sommes versées au compte des inspecteurs et administrateurs sont bonifiées des intérêts capitalisés chaque année.\n\n### Article 19\nIl est ouvert un compte individuel à chacun des inspecteurs et administrateurs.\n\n### Article 20\nLes sommes versées, en vertu de l'article 17, proportionnellement au temps de service effectif accompli dans la colonie par chaque inspecteur et administrateur, sont réparties dans les mêmes conditions aux crédits respectifs des comptes individuels.\n\nElles sont bonifiées de l'intérêt dans les conditions suivantes, au 31 décembre de chaque année.\n\n### Article 21\nIl est délivré à chaque inspecteur et administrateur un livret portant un extrait de son compte individuel.\n\n### Article 22\nLorsqu'un inspecteur ou un administrateur a complété ses douze années de services effectifs dans la colonie, le droit à la caisse de prévoyance qui, jusque-là, n'a été que conditionnel, est acquis.\n\nSon compte individuel peut être liquidé soit sur sa demande, soit d'office, alors même qu'il resterait au service de la colonie au-delà du terme de douze ans.\n\n### Article 23\nEn cas de décès d'un administrateur ou d'un inspecteur en activité de service laissant après lui une veuve non séparée de corps à la requête du mari, des enfants légitimes, adoptifs ou légitimés par mariage subséquent, des petits-enfants ou enfin des ascendants, le montant de son compte est remis, quelle que soit la durée de ses services, soit à sa veuve, soit à ses enfants ou petits-enfants, soit à ses ascendants, dans les proportions déterminées par le conseil d'administration de la caisse.\n\n### Article 24\nSi un inspecteur ou un administrateur se trouve atteint d'infirmités ou de maladie chronique dûment constatées, entraînant incapacité de travail, il peut être relevé de ses fonctions, soit sur sa demande, soit d'office, et le montant de son compte lui est remis.\n\n### Article 25\nLe montant du compte est pareillement remis à l'inspecteur ou administrateur licencié sans aucun motif de mécontentement, par mesure de réduction de personnel ou de suppression d'emploi.\n\n### Article 26\nDans les cas prévus par les articles 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 et 25, les intérêts sont ajoutés au compte depuis le 1er janvier jusqu'au jour du décès ou de la cessation des services; on y ajoute la somme représentant la part du versement à faire par le budget local depuis le 1er janvier, d'après la quotité admise pour chaque inspecteur ou administrateur.\n\n### Article 27\nHors les cas ci-dessus, l'inspecteur ou administrateur démissionnaire ou révoqué avant d'avoir accompli douze ans de services, est déchu de tous droits, même éventuels, dans la caisse de prévoyance. Le montant de son compte fait retour au budget local.\n\n### Article 28\nSi l'inspecteur ou administrateur se trouve, au moment de la liquidation de son compte, débiteur du budget de l'État ou du budget local, le montant de son compte est d'abord appliqué, jusqu'à due concurrence, à combler le déficit constaté.\n\n### Article 29\nLes inspecteurs et administrateurs ne peuvent prétendre à un droit quelconque sur les sommes portées à leurs comptes individuels, à moins d'avoir accompli les conditions déterminées par le présent décret.\n\n### Article 30\nLe bénéfice de la caisse de prévoyance pourra être ultérieurement étendu aux fonctionnaires et employés de la colonie non payés par le budget de l'État.\n\n## Dispositions transitoires\n\n### Article 31\nLes inspecteurs de 1re et 2e classe actuellement en fonctions deviennent de droit administrateurs de 1re classe.\n\nLes inspecteurs de 3e et de 4e classe deviennent administrateurs auxiliaires de 2e et de 3e classe; ils peuvent devenir titulaires de leur classe ou de la classe inférieure: les premiers, en satisfaisant aux épreuves exigées pour l'admission à l'une de ces classes; les seconds, en subissant avec succès l'examen exigé pour passer du stage à la 3e classe.\n\n### Article 32\nLes dispositions des articles 7, 8, 13 et 14, relatives aux congés, à la solde et au logement des inspecteurs ou administrateurs titulaires, leur sont applicables.\n\n### Article 33\nLes attributions des administrateurs auxiliaires sont les mêmes que celles dévolues aux titulaires.\n\n### Article 34\nLes administrateurs auxiliaires sont remplacés par des administrateurs titulaires, au fur et à mesure des extinctions.\n\n### Article 35\nLes administrateurs auxiliaires de 3e classe peuvent devenir administrateurs auxiliaires de 2e classe par décision du gouverneur, sur la proposition du trésorier-payeur et l'avis conforme du directeur de l'intérieur.\n\nIls ne peuvent être licenciés ou remis à la disposition de leurs corps, que par décision du ministre de la marine et des colonies, sur la proposition du gouverneur.\n\n### Article 36\nSont et demeurent abrogées toutes les dispositions contraires au présent décret, et notamment celles inscrites dans l'arrêté local du 26 juin 1871.\n\n### Article 37\nLe ministre de la marine et des colonies est chargé de l'exécution du présent décret, qui sera inséré au `Journal officiel`, au `Bulletin des lois` et au `Bulletin officiel de la marine`.\n\nFait à Versailles, le 10 février 1873.\n\n**A.

Moncheur, ministre des travaux publics, après avoir présenté quelques considérations sur les moyens d'arriver à l'uniformité des tarifs sur les chemins de fer concédés, déclare qu'il est d'accord avec M. Sainctelette pour reconnaître que les tramways doivent être les affluents des chemins de fer. Mais il croit qu'il convient surtout de favoriser l'établissement des tramways à petites sections, ceux-ci pouvant pénétrer et rendre de grands services là où les chemins ne pourraient s'établir qu'à trop grands frais. M. le ministre s'engage à préparer pour la session prochaine une législation spéciale sur les tramways. Il répond ensuite aux divers orateurs qui ont pris la parole.\n\nM. Sainctelette revient sur les considérations qu'il a présentées dans son précédent discours au sujet des tarifs sur les chemins de fer concédés. Il engage le département des travaux publics à faire de cette question une étude approfondie.\n\nL'orateur soutient que la construction des tramways à petites sections, remplaçant les chemins de fer, constitue une économie mal entendue.\n\nLes différents paragraphes sont adoptés.

L'ordre du jour annonçait la lecture des dernières lettres reçues de notre admirable voyageur Francis Garnier, mais le ministère de la marine avait reçu dans la journée d'hier un télégramme de l'amiral Dupré, daté de Saigon, lui annonçant « l'assassinat » de Francis Garnier par les rebelles de Touquin, le 7 décembre 1873.\n\nM. l'amiral de La Roncière Le Noury, en portant cette affreuse nouvelle à la connaissance des membres de la Société, a fait l'éloge du dévoué collaborateur qu'ils perdaient si cruellement. Il a eu raison de penser que la douleur qu'il exprimait serait partagée non seulement par les collègues de la victime, non seulement par ses compatriotes, mais par l'Europe civilisée tout entière.\n\nDans l'absence de détails circonstanciés, M. l'amiral La Roncière a lu une lettre antérieure au crime qui lui avait été adressée par un de ses correspondants en Indo-Chine. Il résulterait de cette lettre que M. Garnier était engagé au mois de novembre dans une expédition au Tonquin, dont le but était de faire respecter les traités en expulsant de ce pays un Français nommé Dupuis, qui s'y livrait à la contrebande des armes de guerre avec les gens de Tuntan. Il aurait dû s'emparer d'une ville et y aurait fait des prisonniers aujourd'hui en route pour la France. Aurait-il été tué dans un engagement subséquent ? Cela serait moins pénible à penser ; mais la dépêche indique expressément qu'il a été assassiné.\n\nOn a l'espoir d'avoir des renseignements précis sur ce point vers le 18 ou le 20 de ce mois.",

Delaportes Companions the Expedition to Tonquin, such as Sub-Lieutenant Balny, who was killed in company with Lieutenant: Cannes at Ha-nor on 21th December last.\n\nJOURNAL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nAvril 1874\n\nmisère, n'a-t-elle pas été d'ailleurs à toutes les prétextes dont on a couvert la traite des enfants, l'abandon des enfants, la corruption des mœurs de la jeunesse? Invoquer une telle excuse, ce serait nier le but que doivent atteindre les sociétés humaines et arrêter leur marche progressive dans la voie de leur perfectionnement. Ce serait nier également que par le travail, l'instruction, la charité, l'épargne, la société vient en aide à tous ceux que la naissance et le malheur ont jetés au dernier degré de l'échelle des êtres, en leur procurant les moyens d'agir, de produire, de se relever et de reconquérir dans le monde la place que la Providence assigne à chacun. Le travail, ne l'oublions pas, est tour à tour dans la lutte de la vie, tantôt la forme de la résistance et celle de la conquête; méconnaître la nécessité de se soumettre au travail, ce serait méconnaître l'une des règles fondamentales sur lesquelles repose l'ordre même des sociétés.\n\nAinsi donc, il est légitime de protéger l'enfant contre tout ce qui le détourne de la voie morale et laborieuse, qui est tracée en ce monde à tout être pensant et libre.\n\nN'entrera sans doute pas dans la pensée du législateur moderne de proscrire, comme le législateur antique le faisait par des lois barbares, les vagabonds et les bohémiens.\n\nL'interdiction d'employer les enfants dans les exhibitions publiques et à certains exercices n'a plus besoin d'être justifiée légitimement, ni moralement, après les considérations que nous avons déjà développées. Nous avons voulu seulement la renfermer dans une juste limite. Cette interdiction, en effet, s'appliquera uniquement à une classe suspecte d'individus qui emploient les enfants dans un but de spéculation et ne présentent aucune garantie morale contre les abus de leur autorité. Les infortunés placés sous leur conduite vivent d'ailleurs le plus souvent dans un milieu de mœurs brutales, de spectacles grossiers, de promiscuité honteuse, où leur moralité est déjà compromise; ils doivent être légitimement mis sous la tutelle de la loi.\n\nPour être conséquent, il faudrait, a-t-on objecté, supprimer l'exhibition des enfants sur tous les théâtres: or, on s'arrête devant une nécessité créée par les exigences des mœurs.\n\nLa loi n'a pas cette force, elle n'a même pas ce droit, car il est des usages sociaux que le prêtre ou le philosophe peuvent bien signaler comme des dangers ou des vices, mais qui relèvent uniquement des règles de la morale.\n\nLe devoir du législateur, dans ce cas, est non de supprimer, mais de contenir et de surveiller; toutes les lois relatives à la police des théâtres sont conçues dans cet esprit.\n\nOn ne peut, d'ailleurs, oublier que si l'enfant, comme l'a dit le rapporteur au parlement, n'a point à recueillir, dans la plupart des spectacles, de bons enseignements, il en est aussi qui sont les modèles du grand art dramatique et dont les conceptions élevées anoblissent les âmes et fortifient les caractères.\n\nC'est donc la moralité et l'avenir de l'homme que la loi protège dans la personne de l'enfant.\n\nOn doit invoquer la liberté du travail, c'est vrai, mais dans l'intérêt de l'enfant, de cet enfant né à un travail servile dont le produit revient à un autre, et contraint par la violence à trimer au prix de sa propre peine. Pauvre et misérable être, obligé de servir un étranger qui s'enrichit par l'esclavage et la souffrance, et qui se trouve exploité jusqu'à la dernière limite, le plus souvent dans l'égout du vice et de la misère! Cela est vrai, et si d'un autre côté il est certain qu'une impunité constante dénonce l'impuissance des lois, il faut choisir entre l'avantage de tolérer des désordres qui doivent se perpétuer à jamais, ou de reconnaître cette nécessité qu'il faut pour les faire disparaître, édicter une loi justement sévère.\n\nNous déterminons, au surplus, très-nettement le caractère de cette loi; elle ne veut pas déclarer la guerre aux professions ambulantes, si peu dignes d'intérêt qu'elles puissent être. Libre à chaque homme, disposant de sa personne, arrivé à l'âge de raison, de choisir un métier qui flatte son adresse ou ses goûts. Mais il ne faut pas qu'il puisse disposer de la liberté de celui qui ne s'appartient pas encore. Nous ne voulons pas l'âge du discernement où l'on tente de le précipiter par une immorale éducation.\n\nCe n'est donc point une loi d'ostracisme prophylactique que nous proposons, c'est uniquement une loi de protection de l'enfance, applicable aux enfants de moins de seize ans, pupilles naturels du législateur, dont les caractères et les effets sont bien nettement définis; examinons son texte.\n\nNous avons déjà marqué le distinguo qui sépare les abus de la force pratiqués à l'égard des enfants, dans les exercices acrobatiques ou de dislocation, d'avec les exercices musculaires que peut comporter une éducation virile: l'enseignement de la gymnastique et de l'équitation dans les gymnases et les manèges n'a rien à craindre des prohibitions de la loi; elles visent seulement l'apprentissage du triste et dangereux métier de clown ou d'acrobate dans les cirques et les baraques foraines.\n\nOn remarquera, sur ce dernier point, que si l'exhibition publique de l'enfant est prohibée pour son caractère immoral, la même condition de publicité ne doit pas être exigée lorsqu'il s'agit de la répression des violences et sévices dont on torture son corps avant de le donner en spectacle. On jugera de la nécessité de cette différence si l'on songe au nombre de victimes ignorées que fait l'apprentissage de tels métiers, avant qu'ils puissent offrir aux regards du public des sujets assez perfectionnés pour attirer sa curiosité.\n\nVI\n\n1. La loi, dans l'article premier, interdit aux individus pratiquant certaines professions ambulantes, telles que celles de saltimbanques, etc., et autres qu'elle énumère, d'employer dans ces professions des mineurs âgés de moins de seize ans. Elle qualifie de délit le fait de cet emploi, soit à des exhibitions publiques, soit à des exercices dangereux.\n\n(Art. 2.) Cet article se propose principalement d'atteindre l'abandon et le trafic des enfants.\n\nEn effet, il punit le contrat que nous avons dénoncé dans l'exposé des motifs, contrat le plus souvent consenti par les pères, mères et tuteurs eux-mêmes. C'est là la principale disposition de la loi. Elle ne distingue pas, au surplus, entre le cas où l'abandon des enfants mineurs a eu lieu gratuitement ou à prix d'argent: il serait trop facile avec une telle distinction d'éluder ses prescriptions en couvrant du masque de la misère d'avouables spéculations.\n\nSi précaire que soit d'ailleurs la position des parents pauvres, leur devoir est le même à l'égard des enfants. Le législateur ne peut aggraver, en refusant à ceux-ci une égale protection, le malheur qu'ils ont eu de naître dans une condition misérable.\n\nCet article applique les mêmes peines aux personnes qui ont provoqué des enfants à quitter le domicile paternel: la loi complète ici les dispositions du code pénal en punissant le détournement des mineurs, même en cas de consentement de la famille; elle atteint ainsi une sorte de proxénétisme, non moins coupable que celui de la débauche, quoiqu'il cache sa démoralisation sous d'autres apparences.\n\nQuant à la privation des droits de la puissance paternelle et à la destitution de la tutelle, elles paraîtront la juste sanction des peines portées contre ceux qui ont forfait aux lois sacrées de la nature, de l'affection et du devoir.\n\nL'article 3 vise spécialement l'emploi des enfants à la mendicité habituelle, mendicité qui se dissimule le plus souvent sous l'exercice apparent d'un métier.\n\nNous avions à combler ici une lacune du code pénal; les articles 274 à 276 de ce code punissent uniquement, en effet, la mendicité directe ou la mendicité en réunion, et permettent sans doute d'atteindre par voie de complicité le maître ou chef de bande qui trafique à sa suite de petits mendiants, mais ils ne touchent ni la...",

Ce voyage ne devant pas commencer avant le retour de la saison sèche, c'est-à-dire avant le mois de novembre, je pensai à utiliser les six mois que nous allions passer d'abord en Cochinchine en faisant une excursion aux ruines khmères. J'en parlai à M. le contre-amiral Dupré, gouverneur de la colonie, qui voulut bien m'encourager dans ce projet et me promettre son concours.\n\nJe m'adressai alors à M. le directeur des beaux-arts, près duquel je trouvai l'accueil le plus favorable, et, sur sa proposition, M. le ministre de l'instruction publique consentit à ajouter à la subvention que son département donnait déjà pour concourir à l'exploration du Tonking, une nouvelle somme de dix mille francs prise sur les fonds des beaux-arts et destinée à me procurer les moyens de recueillir au milieu des ruines une collection qui serait plus tard envoyée en France par les bâtiments de l'État.\n\nJe pouvais aussi compter sur les ressources de la colonie et sur le concours du personnel de la mission de Tonking, que M. le gouverneur m'avait promis de mettre également à ma disposition, pendant l'excursion aux monuments khmers. Enfin, la direction des beaux-arts voulut bien me confier un certain nombre de statues, tableaux et gravures, pour offrir en cadeaux au roi et aux mandarins du Cambodge.\n\nLe 20 mai, la mission d'exploration du Tonking quittait la France. Cinq semaines plus tard nous atteignions la Cochinchine.\n\nDès notre arrivée à Saïgon nous nous occupâmes activement d'organiser l'excursion préparatoire aux ruines, à laquelle nous ne pouvions consacrer qu'un temps limité. M. le gouverneur donna des ordres pour faire armer une canonnière et une chaloupe à vapeur qu'il mit à notre disposition pour toute la durée de ce premier voyage. Les préparatifs furent rapidement achevés, le personnel complété, et au bout d'un mois nous pûmes partir pour le Cambodge.\n\n## Composition de la mission\n\nLa mission que je dirigeais se composait alors de:\n- MM. Bouillet, ingénieur hydrographe;\n- Ratte, ingénieur civil, géologue;\n- le docteur Jullion, naturaliste, envoyé par le Muséum; tous trois venus de France avec moi;\n- Faraut, conducteur des ponts et chaussées, adjoint spécialement pour l'excursion aux ruines.\n- M. le capitaine d'infanterie de marine F... devait nous rejoindre plus tard et s'occuper spécialement des moulages de sculptures et de bas-reliefs.\n\nQuant au matériel, nous emportions en outre un attirail complet de câbles, palans, scies, etc., pour la manœuvre des pierres, du plâtre et du ciment pour les moulages, et tous les objets utiles que les arsenaux de Saïgon avaient pu nous fournir.\n\n## Début de l'excursion\n\nTrois jours après notre départ de Saïgon, les deux bâtiments mouillaient devant la résidence du protectorat français, à Phnom-Penh, capitale du royaume actuel du Cambodge. M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Moura, représentant de la France près du roi, avait reçu les instructions du gouverneur. Il nous reçut avec empressement et informa sur-le-champ le roi de notre arrivée.\n\nLe roi Norodom, malade des suites d'une chute de voiture, se fit excuser de ne pas recevoir officiellement toute la mission; cependant il voulut bien m'accorder une audience particulière. J'en profitai pour lui offrir une partie des cadeaux donnés par la direction des beaux-arts, et je lui expliquai que notre gouvernement, venant lui demander l'autorisation de prendre dans ses États des richesses artistiques auxquelles nous attachions du prix, laissait en échange des objets d'art français. Le roi, me remerciant, me dit que les ordres étaient donnés, et que nous trouverions dans ses États toutes les facilités possibles pour nos recherches.\n\n## Les ruines khmères\n\nLes ruines khmères, que nous allions visiter, sont disséminées sur un grand nombre de points du territoire de l'ancien Cambodge compris entre le 10e et le 14e degré de latitude nord, et le 100e et le 105e degré de longitude est. Par leur nombre, leur importance et la perfection de leur exécution, elles dénotent l'existence d'une civilisation puissante, de grande durée, et d'un art extrêmement remarquable.\n\nEn partie détruits par des guerres, abandonnés depuis plusieurs siècles, presque tous les monuments khmers sont aujourd'hui dans le plus complet délabrement. Leurs abords sont désertés, ignorés et souvent redoutés par les indigènes à qui elles inspirent une terreur superstitieuse. Partout une végétation puissante les envahit, et c'est à la hache à la main qu'il faut tenter de pénétrer jusqu'à leurs sanctuaires.\n\nGrâce au concours empressé de M. Moura, nous pûmes dès le lendemain nous mettre en route, munis de trois interprètes indigènes, et accompagnés d'un mandarin de la cour porteur de lettres du roi pour les mandarins avec lesquels nous devions nous trouver en relations pendant nos excursions.\n\n## Exploration des ruines\n\nLe premier Européen qui les ait signalées à nos jours fut Henri Mouhot, naturaliste français, mort peu de temps après en continuant sa périlleuse exploration de l'Indo-Chine. L'année suivante, le commandant de Lagrée, alors résident français au Cambodge, visita de nouveau les ruines de Battambang et d'Angcor, vues par Mouhot, en décomposa de nouvelles, les étudia et s'efforça de rassembler les documents indigènes capables de servir à reconstituer leur histoire.\n\nUne grande partie du Cambodge est encore explorée et les notions géographiques que nous possédons sur ce pays sont fort incomplètes. M. Moura avait bien voulu nous communiquer une carte qu'il avait récemment dressée d'après ses itinéraires particuliers et les renseignements qu'il avait recueillis près des indigènes. Ces nouvelles indications me permirent de fixer ainsi le plan de notre excursion : nous allions explorer d'abord les nombreuses et importantes ruines des provinces cambodgiennes de Compong-Soai, de Stang et de Siem-reap; de là, nous nous rendrions à Angcor-Tom, à Angcor-Wat et aux environs; si nous en avions le temps, nous irions reconnaître d'autres antiquités khmères signalées dans le nord, et nous ferions à notre retour une courte excursion aux ruines de la province de Battambang.\n\n## Prensat Prathcol\n\nAprès avoir remonté le cours d'eau, pendant deux jours, nous parvînmes à un misérable hameau situé sur l'emplacement de la ville de Compong-Thom, détruite dans une guerre civile récente, et là nous apprîmes que nous ne trouverions dans le voisinage aucun centre de population assez important pour nous fournir les moyens de transport dont nous avions besoin. La seule ville possédant quelques ressources était Stung, chef-lieu de la province du même nom, également située sur les bords d'une grande rivière, et à proximité des ruines.\n\nMuni de ces nouveaux renseignements, j'envoyai prévenir le Thoméa Dechu, haut fonctionnaire alors en mission à Stang, de notre prochaine arrivée, et comme M. l'ingénieur Bouillet avait commencé un levé du cours de la rivière, je prolongeai notre halte de deux jours.\n\nPrensat Prathcol consiste en une enceinte rectangulaire avec portes monumentales ornées de statues de géants et de grands lions. La porte de la face orientale, plus importante que les autres, fait partie d'un édifice complet. Elle est précédée d'une chaussée garnie de balustrades formées par de longs dragons à sept têtes ou de nâgas ou grands bassins à marches de pierre.\n\nAu centre de l'enceinte et à l'extrémité d'une allée intérieure qui fait suite à la chaussée de l'est, s'élève une haute tour. Sa base est en forme de croix grecque avec quatre portes précédées de piliers formant péristyles et supportant des entablements surmontés de frontons avec tympans couverts de bas-reliefs.\n\nCe qui reste de la tour en partie détruite est couvert de sculptures fines, élégantes, et dont l'assemblage ornant le monument sans rompre ses lignes principales, est d'un remarquable effet décoratif.\n\n## Description détaillée de Prensat Prathcol\n\nLe long du soubassement règne un cercle de statues à genoux, les mains jointes. Plus haut, chaque pilastre est orné d'une femme demi-nue tenant une fleur à la main et debout dans une sorte de niche ogivale qu'entourent de fines arabesques. Sur chacune des surfaces courbes qui s'étendent d'une porte à l'autre, on voit, à droite et à gauche, deux groupes symétriques composés de saints et de têtes de dansesuses, et au milieu trois éléphants qui semblent sortir de la muraille, leurs trompes, gracieusement recourbées, se roulent autour de lianes et de branches chargées de feuillages.\n\nLe sommet de ces têtes supporte un entablement orné de moulures sculptées et faisant le tour du monument en reposant aussi sur les chapiteaux des pilastres des portes et des piliers des péristyles. Un énorme oiseau, le corps de femme, la tête couverte d'un diadème et les ailes déployées, se dresse au-dessus de l'éléphant du milieu entre ses pattes. Il paraît un monstre et le long de ses ailes pendent des dragons à plusieurs têtes. De ses griffes relevées en cariatide, il soutient un entablement nouveau. Trois oiseaux fantastiques et plus haut, le second étage, et plus haut encore, le troisième, portent l'entablement supérieur.\n\n## Suite de l'exploration\n\nDeux jours après notre départ de Compong-Thom, nous nous engageâmes de nouveau dans un des nombreux cours d'eau tributaires des lacs. Au bout de trois heures de navigation, une grande percée parut dans la forêt; la rivière se dégagea, et par un beau canal de cent mètres de largeur, nous pénétrâmes d'une façon tout à fait inattendue dans un lac inconnu jusqu'à ce jour.\n\nDeux longues journées d'une navigation extrêmement pénible nous conduisirent à un pauvre hameau près duquel nous laissâmes la canonnière. Nous nous embarquâmes avec notre matériel de campagne à bord de la chaloupe, et au bout de quelques heures nous atteignîmes enfin la ville de Stung.\n\n## Arrivée à Stung et suite du voyage\n\nLe Thoméa Dechu nous reçut avec les démonstrations les plus amicales et nous lui fîmes quelques cadeaux. D'après ses conseils, nous nous décidâmes à quitter la rivière et à continuer notre route par terre; et comme les chars dont nous avions besoin avaient été déjà réunis par ses soins, nous pûmes partir dès le lendemain.\n\nAprès avoir marché pendant quatre jours, parfois au milieu de rivières et de plaines inondées, le plus souvent en forêt, sans routes tracées, nous atteignîmes le petit village de Pracan, situé au milieu d'un groupe de ruines, dans lequel nous allions pouvoir commencer nos opérations.\n\n## Ponteay Pracan, Preasat Prathcol, Preasat Prea Tomrey\n\nLa mission s'installa dans un grand campement construit près du village, et tandis que les mandarins envoyés par le Thoméa Dechu s'occupaient à grand'peine de réunir dans ce pays presque désert les indigènes qui nous étaient nécessaires, nous entreprîmes la reconnaissance préparatoire des ruines.\n\nNotre première visite fut pour la grande et belle résidence de Ponteay Pracan, déjà explorée par le commandant de Lagrée. Nous visitâmes ensuite un monument jusqu'alors inconnu des Européens et appelé par les indigènes Preasat Prathcol. Cette découverte était précieuse, car la grande tour qui occupe le centre de cet édifice et qui en constitue la partie principale, est une des œuvres les plus remarquables de l'architecture khmère.\n\nDes nombreuses statues, des dragons qui ornaient Preasat Prathcol, il ne reste plus que des débris enfouis sous les décombres de la forêt. Nous avons réussi à extraire d'une fouille faite à la porte de l'Est, une remarquable statue à...",

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\n## Ponteay Ka Ker\n\nTrois jours de marches forcées à travers des forêts presque désertes nous conduisirent à un campement abandonné que nous atteignîmes dans la nuit, après avoir fait une partie de la route à la lueur des flambeaux. Le lendemain matin, nos guides nous montrèrent de loin une haute pyramide en pierres couverte de verdure; puis ils nous menèrent jusqu'à un mur d'enceinte, et, retenus par une crainte superstitieuse, ils refusèrent de nous accompagner plus loin. Nous franchîmes alors la muraille, et nous nous frayâmes péniblement un chemin à travers de hautes herbes et une épaisse végétation, jusqu'au monument que nous avions aperçu.\n\nLa grande pyramide de Ka Ker est une construction à cinq étages élevée et massive. Elle occupe l'extrémité occidentale d'une vaste enceinte. Au dehors, et tout près de la muraille ouest, s'élève un mamelon en terre édifié de main d'homme. À l'est, on voit une longue série d'édifices composés de galeries avec colonnades, tours en grès et en briques, vastes pièces d'eau ornées de statues monstrueuses et allégoriques. Cet ensemble considérable de monuments de caractères très-variés nous a semblé appartenir à l'époque de transition entre la période khmer et la naissance de l'architecture siamoise. À ce double titre, il offre un sujet d'études d'un haut intérêt. Nous en avons pu lever le plan général, et dessiner les détails les plus caractéristiques.\n\nDans une curieuse salle en forme de croix grecque, se trouvent les restes de huit statues assises, dont l'une montée sur un bœuf. Elles sont à demi enfouies dans le sol et mutilées par suite de la destruction systématique qui a dévasté tous les monuments du Cambodge. Avant de quitter Ponteay Ka Ker, nous parvînmes, avec l'aide de nos indigènes un peu enhardis, à dégager la statue la mieux conservée de ce groupe. Je fis prendre aussi, dans l'intérieur d'une tour, une statue de danseuse, objet rare; car partout ailleurs nous n'avons trouvé ce genre de personnage que sculpté sur les bas-reliefs.\n\nIl y avait encore dans ces ruines d'autres statues intéressantes, mais nos moyens de transport, réduits à quelques chars très-légers, ne nous permettaient pas d'en rapporter un plus grand nombre.\n\n## Informations et Faits Divers\n\nL'Académie des sciences, dans sa séance du lundi 30 mars, a élu M. Bréguet à la place d'académicien libre, vacante par suite du décès de M. Ant. Passy.\n\nHier, dans l'après-midi, le cheval attelé à la voiture no 3439 s'étant emporté sur l'avenue du Maine, s'est dirigé à fond de train vers l'extrémité de cette avenue, menaçant d'écraser les nombreux passants qui se trouvaient sur son passage. Le gardien de la paix Renard, comprenant tous les dangers qui pouvaient résulter de cette course folle, s'élança résolument aux côtés de l'animal, qu'il parvint à maîtriser, après avoir été traîné sur un espace d'environ 50 mètres.\n\nD'un autre côté, indépendamment d'un emprunt de 22,000 fr. contracté par la commune en vue des dépenses de la garde nationale mobilisée, dont l'amortissement n'est garanti par l'État que jusqu'à concurrence de 19,950 francs (loi du 7 septembre 1871), la caisse municipale est grevée d'un passif de 172,400 fr. provenant : 1o d'une subvention de 100,000 fr. destinée à la construction du chemin de fer de Bourg à La Cluse; pour le surplus, d'acquisitions et d'engagements divers. Au 31 décembre 1872, il restait dû, en outre, une somme de... \n\nIl est nécessaire de pourvoir à la construction de quais, de bains et lavoirs publics le long de la rivière de Nantua, à l'agrandissement de l'abattoir et à l'amélioration de la route de la Pierre. La dépense totale résultant de l'exécution de ces travaux est évaluée, suivant devis réguliers, à 331,900 fr.\n\nLes contribuables ont à supporter, en vertu de décrets des 27 juillet 1867 et 7 août 1873, des impositions extraordinaires qui représentent annuellement 0 fr. 40 c. additionnels jusqu'au 31 décembre 1878, et 0 fr. 20 c. de 1879 à 1892. D'après ces considérations, nous estimons, avec le conseil d'État, que le recours à la mesure extrême des surtaxes est suffisamment justifié.\n\n## Projet de Loi\n\n**Article unique.** - À partir de la promulgation de la présente loi et jusqu'au 31 décembre 1878 inclusivement, il sera perçu à l'octroi établi dans la commune de Nantua, département de l'Ain, une surtaxe de 20 c. par hectolitre de vin en fûts et en bouteilles.\n\nCette surtaxe est indépendante du droit de 0 fr. 60 c. par hectolitre établi en taxe principale.\n\n## Projet de Loi relatif aux frais de reconstitution des registres de l'état civil de l'arrondissement de Montmédy (Meuse)\n\n**Exposé des motifs**\n\nMessieurs, par suite de l'investissement de la ville de Montmédy, les archives du greffe furent descendues dans les caves du tribunal. Elles y restèrent exposées à l'humidité jusqu'au moment où la signature des préliminaires de paix permit à la justice de reprendre son cours. Dans l'intervalle, le double bombardement avait considérablement endommagé les bâtiments du Palais de Justice; les caves elles-mêmes n'avaient pas été épargnées.\n\nQuant à la question de savoir par qui seront supportés les frais auxquels donnera lieu ce travail, le projet de loi qui vous est soumis les met par moitié à la charge de l'État et des communes intéressées, en s'inspirant de l'article 25 de la loi du 12 février 1872, relative à la reconstitution des actes de l'état civil de Paris.\n\n**Projet de Loi**\n\n**Article unique.** - Les frais auxquels donnera lieu la reconstitution du double des registres de l'état civil de l'arrondissement de Montmédy seront supportés moitié par l'État, moitié par les communes intéressées.\n\n## Proposition de Loi relative à l'introduction en France de cartouches chargées pour l'usage spécial des sociétés de tir\n\n**Exposé des motifs**\n\nMessieurs, après la guerre désastreuse de 1870-1871, on a compris, sur tous les points du territoire, la nécessité d'exercer nos concitoyens au maniement des armes et au tir à longue portée. La connaissance des armes perfectionnées, l'étude des perfectionnements qui s'y apportent chaque jour, apparaissent à tout le monde comme une incontestable nécessité.\n\nSur un grand nombre de points, en France, des associations fondées avec des capitaux privés se sont créées dans le but patriotique de satisfaire aux divers besoins que nous venons de constater. Des tirs ont été organisés, des armes de toutes provenances ont été importées avec l'autorisation et sous la surveillance de M. le ministre de la guerre.\n\nCes sociétés ont mis gratuitement au service des officiers de notre armée toutes les armes qu'elles possèdent, et tous les moyens d'étude qui sont à leur disposition.\n\nMais l'approvisionnement de tous ces fusils de systèmes étrangers rencontre dans notre législation des difficultés qui, sans intérêt pour la sécurité publique, paralysent le bon vouloir des sociétés de tir.\n\nLa loi du 13 fructidor an V, littéralement appliquée aux armes d'invention nouvelle, est une interdiction complète de tout essai, jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient entrées dans les habitudes et les usages d'une population.\n\n**Projet de Loi**\n\n**Article 1.** - Nonobstant les dispositions de l'article 21 de la loi du 13 fructidor an V, les ministres de la guerre et des finances pourront autoriser l'admission en France de cartouches chargées utilisables pour des armes autres que celles dont se compose l'armement militaire de la France.\n\n**Article 2.** - Les munitions introduites en France, en vertu d'autorisation ministéri, devront rester en dépôt dans la poudrière la plus rapprochée des emplacements de tir ou d'expériences, pour être délivrées aux ayants-droit, au fur et à mesure de leur consommation.\n\n## Rapport fait au nom de la commission du budget de 1874\n\n**Exposé des motifs**\n\nM. le ministre de la guerre a mis libéralement les approvisionnements de nos arsenaux à la disposition des sociétés de tir, qui peuvent y puiser, à prix réduit, les munitions utilisables pour les fusils dont sont pourvus les dépôts d'armes de l'État, tels que chassepots, remingtons, etc.\n\nIl résulte des explications qui précèdent que...",

Ces morceaux d'architecture sont ici d'un goût plus sobre, plus pur que dans la majeure partie des monuments de l'ancien Cambodge.\n\n### PRASAT CONG PHLUC\n\nJe le trouvai très délabré. J'y pus cependant recueillir des photographies qui servaient à l'enlèvement de statues ou sculptures.

Bouillet avait donc rassuré le mandarin en lui disant que nous désirions simplement visiter et dessiner les ruines, recueillir des inscriptions et prendre des moulages de sculptures et de bas-reliefs.\n\n### PHNOM COULEN\n\nÀ l'entrée d'un édicule intérieur ruiné, nous avons remarqué de petits médaillons entourés d'arabesques et représentant : ici, un enfant nu domptant un coq; au-dessus, un enfant grimpé sur un cerf; en face, un autre enfant à cheval sur un paon; puis des combats d'animaux, des guenons jouant avec leurs petits, des figurines de danseuses isolées ou par groupes, et vingt autres gracieuses sculptures.\n\n### KRUSH, PRASAT CONG PHLUC\n\nÀ force d'interroger les gens du pays, je parvins à découvrir l'existence de deux nouveaux monuments perdus dans les profondeurs de la forêt, à quelques lieues dans l'est de Meléa. M. Ratte visita l'un d'eux, désigné sous le nom de Krush: il y put reconnaître les ruines de terrasses étagées avec larges escaliers jadis ornés de statues, de lions, de dragons et d'animaux fantastiques, et il en rapporta une sorte de grosse gargouille sculptée en forme de tête de dragon.\n\n## VII\n\n### ANGCOR TOM\n\nLe 13 septembre, nous arrivâmes à Angcor Tom. Je trouvai la mission installée dans une grande case en bambous construite à notre intention au milieu du groupe des ruines, la santé générale était mauvaise; plusieurs de nos hommes se trouvaient atteints de fièvre et de dysenterie graves, dispositions d'autant plus fâcheuses qu'il nous restait encore de nombreux travaux à accomplir.\n\n### PRAKANE\n\nDès que les travaux furent terminés à Baïon, M. Bouillet et M. Faraut, accompagnés d'une partie de nos hommes, allèrent camper au milieu des vastes édifices de Prakane. Ces constructions, encore inexplorées, paraissent singulièrement anciennes.\n\n### TA PROMM, EKORY\n\nAprès avoir exploré Prakané, la mission dressa successivement les plans de Ta Prohm et d'Ekday. Les portes d'enceinte de ces deux monuments servaient peut-être d'ateliers permanents pour l'entretien que ne pouvaient manquer d'exiger sans cesse des ensembles de constructions si ornés et si vastes.\n\n### ANGCOR WAT\n\nLe docteur Jullien consacra, de plus, une grande partie de son temps à des essais de moulages des bas-reliefs qui ornent les galeries de ce même monument.\n\nM. le capitaine Filoz, après un séjour d'un mois à Angcor Wat et une pénible excursion à plusieurs autres monuments, rentra à Saïgon, rapportant un grand nombre de moulages, de sculptures et de bas-reliefs bien réussis.\n\n## VIII\n\nLe retour précipité de la mission ne nous avait pas permis d'achever les études que nous nous proposions de faire aux monuments khmers des environs d'Angcor. M. Faraut se proposa pour retourner pendant la belle saison, afin de compléter nos travaux et de visiter plusieurs ruines nouvelles que notre séjour ne nous avait pas permis d'explorer.\n\nM. le gouverneur de Cochinchine voulut bien me promettre de lui venir en aide pour cette excursion complémentaire, et à mon arrivée en France, M. le directeur des beaux-arts, voulant également y concourir, décida qu'une somme de mille francs serait mise à la disposition du voyageur.\n\n2546 \n## JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\npour faire face à l'excédant de dépense de 8,370 francs ci-dessus indiqué, il est indispensable de recourir à l'ouverture d'un crédit supplémentaire de pareille somme, au titre du chapitre ter du budget de l'exercice 1873,\n\nEn conséquence, la commission du budget a l'honneur de proposer à l'Assemblée nationale, l'adoption du projet de loi suivant :\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Art. 1.** Il est alloué au ministre de l'intérieur, pour les dépenses ordinaires du gouvernement général civil de l'Algérie, sur l'exercice 1873, au delà des crédits ouverts par la loi du 26 décembre 1872, un crédit de huit mille trois cent soixante-dix francs, applicables au chapitre 1er (Administration centrale. - Personnel).\n\n**Art. 2.** Il sera pourvu à cette dépense au moyen des ressources générales du budget de 1873.\n\n## RAPPORT\n\nfait au ministre de la marine et des colonies et au ministre de l'instruction publique, des cultes et des beaux-arts, par M.

Pour applanir les difficultés de ce côté, j'envoyai prendre à bord de la canonnière mouillée à l'embouchure de la rivière des cadeaux que j'offris au gouverneur, et il consentit, en échange, à nous fournir les guides et les hommes dont nous avions besoin.\n\n### PHNOM COULEN\n\nÀ l'entrée d'un édicule intérieur ruiné, nous avons remarqué de petits médaillons entourés d'arabesques et représentant : ici, un enfant nu domptant un coq; au-dessus, un enfant grimpé sur un cerf; en face, un autre enfant à cheval sur un paon; puis des combats d'animaux, des guenons jouant avec leurs petits, des figurines de danseuses isolées ou par groupes, et vingt autres gracieuses sculptures. M. Hatte repartit bientôt après pour aller examiner des carrières antiques situées au pied de la petite chaîne de Phnom Coulen.\n\n### KRUSH, PRASAT CONG PHLUC\n\nÀ force d'interroger les gens du pays, je parvins à découvrir l'existence de deux nouveaux monuments perdus dans les profondeurs de la forêt, à quelques lieues dans l'est de Meléa. M. Ratte visita l'un d'eux, désigné sous le nom de Krush: il y put reconnaître les ruines de terrasses étagées avec larges escaliers jadis ornés de statues, de lions, de dragons et d'animaux fantastiques, et il en rapporta une sorte de grosse gargouille sculptée en forme de tête de dragon.\n\nMoins chargé d'ornementations que le célèbre et merveilleux monument d'Angcor Wat, Beng Meléa est un des plus sévères et des plus beaux édifices que construisirent les Khmers. Malheureusement, de plus de quatre cents frontons remarquablement sculptés qui surmontaient les portes, il n'en est pas demeuré dix debout, et pas un seul n'est intact. Les quelques débris qu'on en peut voir encore sont d'un rare mérite, et le petit nombre de figures sérieuses ou bouffonnes qu'on y retrouve, sculptées avec une grande finesse, ont une expression étonnante.\n\n## VII\n\n### ANGCOR TOM\n\nLe 13 septembre, nous arrivâmes à Angcor Tom. Je trouvai la mission installée dans une grande case en bambous construite à notre intention au milieu du groupe des ruines, la santé générale était mauvaise; plusieurs de nos hommes se trouvaient atteints de fièvre et de dysenterie graves, dispositions d'autant plus fâcheuses qu'il nous restait encore de nombreux travaux à accomplir.\n\n### PRAKANE\n\nDès que les travaux furent terminés à Baïon, M. Bouillet et M. Faraut, accompagnés d'une partie de nos hommes, allèrent camper au milieu des vastes édifices de Prakane. Ces constructions, encore inexplorées, paraissent singulièrement anciennes.\n\n### TA PROMM, EKORY\n\nAprès avoir exploré Prakané, la mission dressa successivement les plans de Ta Prohm et d'Ekday. Les portes d'enceinte de ces deux monuments servent peut-être d'ateliers permanents pour l'entretien que ne pouvaient manquer d'exiger sans cesse des ensembles de constructions si ornés et si vastes.\n\n### ANGCOR WAT\n\nLe docteur Jullien consacra, de plus, une grande partie de son temps à des essais de moulages des bas-reliefs qui ornent les galeries de ce même monument. M. Jullien exécuta aussi le moule de la célèbre tête dite du Roi preux.\n\nM. le capitaine Filoz, après un séjour d'un mois à Angcor Wat et une pénible excursion à plusieurs autres monuments, rentra à Saïgon, rapportant un grand nombre de moulages, de sculptures et de bas-reliefs bien réussis.\n\n## VIII\n\nLe retour précipité de la mission ne nous avait pas permis d'achever les études que nous nous proposions de faire aux monuments khmers des environs d'Angcor. M. Faraut se proposa pour retourner pendant la belle saison, afin de compléter nos travaux et de visiter plusieurs ruines nouvelles que notre séjour ne nous avait pas permis d'explorer.\n\nM. le gouverneur de Cochinchine voulut bien me promettre de lui venir en aide pour cette excursion complémentaire, et à mon arrivée en France, M. le directeur des beaux-arts, voulant également y concourir, décida qu'une somme de mille francs serait mise à la disposition du voyageur.",

Ce groupe, bien qu'endommagé par le temps, présente encore un effet d'ensemble très-imposant; \nUn géant debout; \nTrois lions de diverses grandeurs; \nUne statue à huit bras; \nUne statue de danseuse; \nPlusieurs statues ou fragments de statues de Bouddha d'une grande finesse; \nUn fragment de pilastre sur lequel sont sculptées en demi-relief deux femmes nues jusqu'à la ceinture, tenant une fleur de lotus à la main; \nDeux extrémités de balustrade figurant des dragons à neuf têtes; \nUne remarquable tête à quatre faces et deux autres belles têtes; \nUn entablement de porte sculpté; \nUn autre entablement représentant neuf danseuses en haut relief; \nUne colounette octogonale sculptée; \nDivers fragments de chapiteaux, piliers, pilastres, corniches et soubassements sculptés; \nBarreaux de fenêtres ornés de sculptures d'un goût exquis; \nPieds de pagodes également ornementés, fragments de bas-reliefs, etc., etc. \nMoulage de la tête du Roi lépreux et d'un fragment de bas-relief de Baïon (exécutés par le docteur Jullien); \n34 panneaux se faisant suite, moulés sur le plus beau des bas-reliefs d'Angcor Wat; \nQuarante pièces diverses montées sur des sculptures choisies de ce même monument; \nCinq moulages de pilastres sculptés de Prah-Khan. \n\n3° Montage d'une tête à quatre faces se trouvant à Phnom Crom; \n\n4° Découverte de plus de dix ruines nouvelles, dont quelques-unes de premier ordre; \n\n5° Levé des plans, dessins, photographies de vingt monuments remarquables; \n\n6° Une collection d'inscriptions presque toutes recueillies par les soins de M. Moura, dans les environs d'Angcor Wat. \n\nJe ne veux pas terminer ce rapport, monsieur le ministre, sans vous exprimer mon vif regret de m'être vu momentanément empêché par la maladie et par la situation politique du Tonkin de poursuivre le but principal de ma mission, pour laquelle votre département m'avait alloué des sommes importantes.\n\nJe serai prêt à repartir aussitôt que mes forces et les circonstances le permettront. Mes compagnons de voyage sont tous disposés à me suivre; un seul me fera défaut, le regrettable enseigne de vaisseau Bayot, qui m'avait été accordé comme second par M. le gouverneur de Cochinchine et qui a succombé si malheureusement dans les récents événements.\n\nCes travaux considérables, et d'un haut intérêt, sont entièrement l'œuvre de M. le capitaine Filoz. Cet officier, à peine de retour de sa première excursion, en a déjà entrepris une nouvelle, dont il espère obtenir des résultats encore plus importants.\n\nEn attendant, monsieur le ministre, je m'empresse de déférer à votre invitation, en me mettant à la disposition de M. le directeur des beaux-arts, pour l'installation de la collection artistique rapportée par la mission.\n\nJe suis, etc. \n\nSigné L. DELAPORTE, Lieutenant de vaisseau, officier de la Légion d'honneur, ancien chef de la mission d'exploration du Tonkin.\n\n### INFORMATIONS ET FAITS \n\nLe département de la Savoie vient d'être le théâtre de nombreux et considérables sinistrés. À Chamousset, 27 maisons ont été réduites en cendres ces jours derniers; à Arbin, un corps de bâtiments a été la proie des flammes. Les détails circonstanciés sur ces deux désastres manquent encore.\n\nAu hameau de la Roche, arrondissement de Moutiers, 32 maisons sont détruites. Une partie du bétail n'a pu être sauvée et malheureusement deux personnes ont péri dans les flammes.\n\n(Havas.)\n\n- Une dépêche de Gibraltar, en date du 3 mars, reproduite par l'agence Havas, donne les détails qui suivent sur la `Queen Elisabeth` dont nous avons annoncé, il y a plusieurs jours, le naufrage:\n\nLa `Queen Elisabeth` a considérablement souffert depuis ces deux derniers jours, et il est maintenant démontré que le vapeur ne tardera pas à disparaître. Des cloisons étanches, en bois, ont été disposées de manière à retenir l'eau, et si le temps le permet, elles soutiendront le navire de manière à permettre de débarquer une partie de la riche cargaison. Cinquante caisses d'indigo et vingt caisses de laque en écailles ont été retrouvées dans la journée d'hier.\n\nIl y avait lieu de supposer que les tableaux de Rubens qui sont à Anvers dans la cathédrale, avaient été endommagés par l'humidité à laquelle ils étaient exposés. Aussi une enquête a-t-elle été ordonnée par le gouvernement belge, dit l'`Athenaeum`, de laquelle il résulte que les peintures n'ont pas sérieusement souffert. Cette enquête a donné lieu à une discussion intéressante, savoir à qui ces tableaux doivent appartenir : aux autorités de la cathédrale, ou bien à l'État.\n\nMadame Léopold Javal a fait remettre à M. le directeur de l'administration générale de l'Assistance publique une somme de 500 fr. pour les pauvres de Paris.\n\nDans une réunion du conseil communal d'Anvers, il a été démontré que le fameux tableau : la Descente de Croix, un des chefs-d'œuvre de Rubens, actuellement dans la cathédrale, avait été fait par l'artiste pour la corporation ou Ghilde des arquebusiers d'Anvers 1614. Quelques années après, il fut placé par eux dans une chapelle de la cathédrale, chapelle qui était la propriété exclusive de la corporation, et où le chapitre de la cathédrale n'avait rien à voir. Pendant la révolution française, ces œuvres d'art furent apportées à Paris et figurèrent dans les galeries du Louvre.\n\nLa Convention de 1798 supprima les corporations religieuses, et décréta le retour à la nation de toutes leurs propriétés. En 1799, la Belgique fut annexée à la France; mais bien que les églises fussent restituées au culte, les tableaux dont nous parlons restèrent au Louvre. Ce n'est qu'en 1814, après le traité de Paris, qu'ils furent rendus au culte des Pays-Bas, qui, par décision du 6 octobre 1815, donna qu'ils seraient réintégrés dans leur ancien local. Le soin et la surveillance de ces trésors fut confié au commissaire civil des arts et des sciences.\n\nCes faits ayant été établis par d'habiles jurisconsultes, le conseil prétend que le gouvernement de 1815, ayant confié ces objets à la garde de certains individus, et la surveillance ayant été réservée à un fonctionnaire administratif, le gouvernement ne s'est jamais dessaisi de ses droits de propriété sur les objets et qu'il les a toujours considérés comme appartenant à l'État. La question de savoir si l'on doit éloigner ces tableaux de la cathédrale a été soumise au conseil d'Anvers.\n\nJeudi dernier, dans l'après-midi, dit le `Journal de Falaise`, un commencement d'incendie se manifestait dans la partie de la forêt de Saint-André, située sur la droite de la route de Falaise à Argentan, et détruisait environ six hectares de bois taillis et de bruyères. De prompts secours, apportés par les bûcherons et les habitants voisins, éteignirent le feu et l'empêchèrent de s'étendre. On supposait alors que tout danger avait disparu.\n\nVendredi, vers onze heures du matin, le feu s'est de nouveau, et avec la plus grande intensité, déclaré dans cette forêt, mais dans la partie située sur la gauche de la route de Falaise à Argentan, à une distance de plus de 1,500 mètres du lieu où il avait pris la veille. En moins de vingt minutes, plus de 2 kilomètres de bois taillis, de bruyères et de vignons se sont trouvés envahis par les flammes. Grâce à la prompte et intelligente organisation des secours et au dévouement de chacun, il a été possible d'arrêter la marche du fléau, en pratiquant une tranchée parallèle à la ligne de feu, et de préserver ainsi toute cette partie de la forêt d'une destruction complète.\n\nOn évalue à près de 300 hectares, appartenant à divers propriétaires, la quantité de bois détruits.\n\n## X \n\nPersuadé que tout ce qui se rattache à l'étude d'un peuple jadis si puissant et d'une région dont les destinées sont aujourd'hui liées à celles de la France, ne saurait se faire sans utilité pour notre colonie, M. le contre-amiral Dupré n'a cessé, pendant toute la durée de nos opérations, de nous entourer de toute sa sollicitude et de nous fournir toutes les ressources dont il pouvait disposer.\n\nM. Moura, de son côté, nous a constamment prêté l'assistance la plus empressée, et il a mis à notre service toute l'influence que lui donnait sa position près du roi de Cambodge.\n\n### 2548 \n### 2 Avril 1874 \n\n| Date | Jul 23 | 24 APR 1874 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **Subject** | French proceedings in Touquin & Annam |  |\n|  | (Minutes.) |  |\n|  | W.

(Séance du 1 août 1874.) \n\n**PORT** fait au nom de la commission (1) chargée d'examiner le projet de loi portant probation d'un traité conclu à Saigon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, par M. l'amiral Jaurès, membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\nMessieurs, il y a près d'un siècle qu'un projet de traité d'alliance entre la France et le royaume d'Annam fut signé à Versailles, par le ministre de Montmorin, au nom du roi Louis XVI, par l'illustre évêque d'Adran au nom de l'héritier légitime du royaume d'Annam. Par ce traité, qui porte la date du 28 novembre 1787, la France s'engageait à fournir au souverain annamite, pour l'aider à triompher des rebelles qui l'avaient dépossédé de ses États, un corps de troupes avec un matériel de guerre.\n\nDe son côté, le roi de Cochinchine cédait à la France, en toute propriété comme en souveraineté, la presqu'île de Touranne et l'île de Poulo-Condore; nous étions autorisés à créer dans le port de Touranne, qui devait appartenir concurremment aux deux puissances, les établissements jugés nécessaires, tant à notre navigation qu'à notre commerce, qu'à la réparation et à la construction de nos bâtiments; nous devions jouir d'une liberté absolue d'échange et de circulation dans tout le pays, à l'exclusion des autres peuples; les intérêts de notre religion étaient enfin sauvegardés.\n\nLe traité ne reçut qu'une exécution partielle, car nous n'envoyâmes pas de corps de troupes, et nous ne prîmes pas possession de la presqu'île de Touranne; mais, cependant, grâce au concours de quelques officiers français, MM. Chaigneau, Vannier, Ollivier et Dayot, dont les noms sont si populaires dans le pays, l'évêque d'Adran organisa quelques troupes solides avec lesquelles le roi de Cochinchine parvint à vaincre les rebelles et à restaurer sa dynastie.\n\nDès lors, l'influence de la France fut prépondérante en Cochinchine, et le christianisme y fit de plus rapides progrès.\n\nMalheureusement, à la mort du roi Gia-Long, en 1820, l'influence hostile aux étrangers prévalut; nos officiers furent obligés d'abandonner, en 1823, un pays où ils avaient exécuté les plus remarquables travaux d'art militaire, et les persécutions contre les chrétiens, suspendues sous Gia-Long, se ranimèrent pour se prolonger jusqu'en 1862.\n\nEnfin, en mars 1862, l'amiral Bonnard ajoutait à nos possessions la province de Bien-Hoa.\n\nLe 5 juin 1862, la cour de Hué acceptait un traité en vertu duquel les trois provinces occupées étaient abandonnées à la France, ainsi qu'une indemnité de guerre de 4 millions de piastres (1). Une partie de cette indemnité fut payée à l'Espagne, les troupes espagnoles qui avaient opéré avec nous évacuèrent la Basse-Cochinchine, et la France se trouva en possession d'une nouvelle et grande colonie.\n\nCependant trois provinces de la Basse-Cochinchine restaient encore sous la domination du roi Tu-Duc; séparées du royaume d'Annam par nos provinces, elles ne tardèrent pas à devenir le refuge des malfaiteurs et un centre d'agitation d'où des tentatives insurrectionnelles furent incessamment dirigées contre nous.\n\nAprès différentes expéditions, sur Go-Cong en 1863, sur Long-Raï en 1864, sur les villes de Gia-Phu et de Gia-Dinh en 1865 et en 1866, l'amiral de la Grandière, qui avait plusieurs fois informé la cour de Hué que si elle ne pouvait pas faire la police des provinces de l'Ouest, il se chargerait lui-même d'y rétablir l'ordre, dut se résoudre à occuper définitivement en 1867 les trois provinces de Vinh-Long, de Chaudoc et d'Hatien, qui vinrent s'ajouter à nos possessions.\n\nDans ce nouvel état de choses, une modification au traité de 1862 devenait nécessaire pour régulariser notre situation; des négociations furent entamées et poursuivies avec la cour de Hué en 1868 et en 1869; mais la guerre de 1870 éclata et tout resta en suspens.\n\nAussitôt après la guerre, les négociations furent reprises et le gouvernement annamite annonça qu'il était disposé à envoyer des ambassadeurs en France: ces ambassadeurs arrivèrent effectivement à Saïgon.\n\nL'amiral Dupré, gouverneur général de la Cochinchine, s'efforça alors d'obtenir que les clauses du traité à intervenir fussent débattues et arrêtées à Saïgon, afin d'éviter une perte de temps considérable.\n\nIl ne laissait pas ignorer, en même temps, aux envoyés du roi Tu-Duc, que la souveraineté de l'Annam devait renoncer à toute idée de nous voir abandonner les provinces de l'ouest de la Basse-Cochinchine, dont la possession était indispensable à la tranquillité et à la sécurité de notre colonie; mais il ajoutait que nous étions disposés, par une juste compensation, à faire le sacrifice des sommes considérables qui nous étaient encore dues en exécution du traité de 1862.\n\nUne circonstance fâcheuse, et qui aurait pu avoir les effets les plus déplorables, vint, sur ces entrefaites, rendre le séjour des ambassadeurs à Saïgon obligatoire.\n\nÀ diverses époques, avions-nous essayé de renouer des relations avec la Cochinchine et de protéger nos missionnaires; les tentatives faites par Bougainville en 1825, par le capitaine de frégate Laplace en 1831, par le capitaine de vaisseau Lapierre en 1847, aussi bien que la mission de M. de Montigny en 1852, avaient complétement échoué, et chaque fois, pour ainsi dire, à l'arrivée de nos navires dans la baie de Touranne, l'apparition de notre pavillon semblait être le signal d'un nouveau massacre de chrétiens.\n\nC'est ainsi qu'à la suite du meurtre de Diaz, mis à mort par ordre du roi, à Nam-Dinh, en 1857, sur la simple nouvelle qu'un navire français croisait en vue des côtes de la Cochinchine, la France fut conduite à envoyer dans ces parages une escadre commandée par l'amiral Rigault de Genouilly, qui s'empara de Touranne.\n\nPeu de temps après, par une heureuse inspiration, l'amiral Rigault de Genouilly allait reconnaître s'il ne se trouverait pas dans le Sud un point d'établissement préférable à Touranne, et montant avec la plus grande hardiesse la rivière de Don-Nai, s'emparait de la ville de Saïgon, capitale de la Basse-Cochinchine.\n\nLa guerre de Chine étant survenue sur ces entrefaites, nous abandonnâmes Touranne et nous nous bornâmes à Saïgon qu'un faible détachement gardait.\n\nLe lieutenant de vaisseau Garnier, qui avait enlevé avec 150 hommes la citadelle d'Hanoï défendue par cinq mille hommes et fait prisonnier le grand maréchal blessé; émoi de la cour de Hué, qui demanda des explications à l'amiral Dupré, lequel répondit que nous n'avions fait que déjouer des préparatifs d'attaque contre nous qui venaient d'être faits au Tonkin en conciliation avec la demande même du gouvernement annamite; mort de M. Garnier dans une sortie; envoi du lieutenant de vaisseau Philastre pour mettre fin à une situation fâcheuse de tous points.\n\nTout cela demanderait des développements que ne saurait comporter ce rapport; mais si nous avons rapidement indiqué ces faits, c'est à cause de leur influence sur la conclusion du traité.\n\nEn premier lieu, la volonté fermement exprimée par notre Gouvernement de rester en rapports d'amitié avec le gouvernement annamite et le soin constant pris par l'amiral Dupré de prouver aux ambassadeurs du roi la droiture de nos intentions et la loyauté de nos actes, firent, à n'en pas douter, la plus profonde impression sur l'esprit des ambassadeurs et aussi sans doute sur l'esprit du souverain.\n\nEn outre, par suite de ces événements, le séjour des envoyés annamites à Saïgon s'étant prolongé, il devait arriver infailliblement que ces mandarins, l'un et l'autre d'un mérite supérieur, seraient frappés des avantages que notre civilisation peut donner à un pays.\n\nComment, disait un jour à l'amiral Dupré le premier ambassadeur qui venait de visiter les environs de Saïgon, comment vois-je tant d'habitations où respire l'aisance, tant de petites maisons couvertes en tuiles, là où l'on ne voyait autrefois que des cases couvertes en chaume?\n\n«Deux mots suffiront pour vous l'expliquer, répondit l'amiral: Nous maintenons l'ordre et la justice, et de la protection du travail naît la prospérité.»\n\nLes ambassadeurs ne pouvaient manquer d'attirer l'attention du roi sur les progrès de notre colonisation et sur les bienfaits qu'elle entraîne pour les habitants de la Basse-Cochinchine; d'autre part, l'état de trouble et de désordre du Tonkin, l'impuissance du gouvernement annamite à réprimer les déprédations des bandes de rebelles chinois, l'affaiblissement chaque jour plus grand de l'autorité souveraine, tout ne devait-il pas rappeler au roi Tu-Duc que son bisaïeul Gia-Long avait dû à une alliance avec la France de voir son autorité rétablie et la tranquillité renaître dans ses États?\n\nQuoi qu'il en soit, après des négociations activement et heureusement poursuivies, un traité a été conclu le 15 mars dernier, et il nous est permis d'espérer aujourd'hui qu'à une ère de trouble et de défiance va succéder une ère d'apaisement, de confiance et d'estime réciproque.\n\nLa portion de territoire qui nous a été concédée est suffisante. La France n'en désire pas d'autre et la nature semble, du reste, avoir tracé elle-même les limites de nos frontières. Ce n'est donc pas un voisin ambitieux que le royaume d'Annam aura désormais près de lui, mais un allié qui sera fidèle à ses engagements et qui, là comme partout, aura à cœur de conserver son renom de noblesse et de générosité.\n\nIl nous reste, après ce rapide historique, à faire ressortir les avantages qu'assure à la France le traité en question.\n\nLa souveraineté pleine et entière de la France sur les six provinces de la Basse-Cochinchine est reconnue par le royaume d'Annam, et cette reconnaissance doit infailliblement donner un nouvel élan à notre colonisation, car l'incertitude qui existait à ce sujet favorisait singulièrement les excitations au désordre et à l'insurrection que quelques agitateurs prêchaient dans les campagnes.\n\nLes populations des trois provinces de l'Ouest, qui pouvaient jusqu'ici se demander si ces contrées resteraient à la France et si elles ne seraient pas persécutées un jour pour s'être attachées à nous, pourront maintenant, rassurées sur l'avenir, se rapprocher de ceux qui leur apportent les bienfaits si éclatants de la civilisation.\n\nAinsi que le dit si bien l'amiral Dupré dans un de ses rapports: «Sans doute, il faudra du temps pour faire la conquête morale d'une population fine et intelligente, capable d'enthousiasme, mobile d'humeur, qui nous observe avec étonnement sans bien comprendre encore où nous voulons la mener; il faudra beaucoup de prudence, de modération et de patience pour ne pas l'effaroucher et pour dissiper sa défiance; il ne faudra toucher qu'avec réserve à sa législation, à ses mœurs, à tout ce qui fait le fond de sa civilisation très-réelle, quoique bien différente de la nôtre; il faudra une inébranlable fermeté dans la répression des désordres: il faudra ne pas appesantir le joug et éviter de demander au pays plus qu'il n'était habitué de donner à ses anciens maîtres. Avec ces précautions, une administration juste et bienveillante arrivera à faire accepter notre souveraineté à la population indigène, qui appréciera...\n\n## Composition de la commission\n\nCette commission est composée de MM. l'amiral de La Roncière Le Noury, président; Cour-Poulard, secrétaire; de Belcastel, le comte Rességuier, Laboulaye, le comte de Kergorlay, le général Martin des Pallières, Warnier, Marne), Callet, l'amiral Jaurès, le comte Desmons de Richemont, Tirard, Bonnet, Fourcand, le comte de Chaudordy.\n\n(1) L'indemnité annamite a été fixée à 4 millions de piastres, payable en dix années, à dater du 5 juin 1862: sur cette indemnité, il n'a été payé que 1,800,000 piastres; il reste dû aujourd'hui 2,200,000 piastres, dont la moitié à l'Espagne. Tout paiement a cessé depuis 1867.",

Il est un point important cependant, sur lequel nous devons encore nous arrêter : c'est la convention spéciale qui réglera les rapports commerciaux.\n\nVotre commission eût vivement désiré que le traité de commerce lui eût été soumis en même temps que le traité qui règle les rapports politiques entre l'Annam et la France; malheureusement, la nécessité d'envoyer des pouvoirs au nouveau gouverneur de la Cochinchine a retardé l'arrivée en France de cette convention, qui ne pourra vous être présentée qu'après la prorogation; mais dès aujourd'hui M. le ministre de la marine a bien voulu nous communiquer la teneur de l'article 1er, qui est ainsi conçu :\n\nOn a beaucoup parlé du climat insalubre de la Cochinchine; qu'il nous soit permis de mettre un peu en garde contre les exagérations qui pourraient se produire à ce sujet. Et tout d'abord, ne sait-on pas que toute colonie nouvelle doit forcément payer un large tribut? Demandez à l'Angleterre ce que lui a coûté Calcutta; demandez à la Hollande ce que lui a coûté Batavia; demandez, si vous le voulez, à l'Algérie ce que lui a coûté la Mitidja; mais quand donc la crainte des maladies a-t-elle fait reculer les vaillants pionniers de la civilisation? D'ailleurs, la période la plus mauvaise est sans doute passée pour nous; notre établissement en Cochinchine date déjà de douze années, et à mesure que des casernes se sont élevées pour nos soldats, à mesure que des maisons confortables ont été construites par nos colons, l'assainissement s'est fait et il ne peut à coup sûr que progresser chaque jour.\n\n**Art. 1.** Conformément aux stipulations de l'article 11 du 15 mars, le roi d'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Naï dans la province de Binh-Dinh, de Ninh-Hai dans la province de Hai-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Hà, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière chinoise.\n\nAjoutons enfin, que l'un des avantages du traité sera précisément de nous donner la possibilité de créer au Tonkin un établissement sanitaire où nos malades de Cochinchine, qui ne sont la plupart du temps qu'anémiés, viendront reprendre des forces sous une latitude plus élevée.\n\nLe second point important du traité est celui qui donne à la religion chrétienne des garanties sérieuses pour son libre exercice et pour son développement.\n\nSur cette terre arrosée, hier encore, du sang de tant de martyrs, où l'on compte aujourd'hui huit évêques, environ quatre cents missionnaires et prêtres et plus de cinq cent mille chrétiens, il sera enfin permis à nos coreligionnaires de professer leur foi sans avoir à redouter les plus épouvantables supplices. En retour, la sagesse de nos évêques et de nos missionnaires nous est un sûr garant qu'ils prendront soin de veiller à ce que les populations chrétiennes se montrent les plus soumises et les plus respectueuses de l'autorité du souverain de l'Annam.\n\nUn troisième point du traité est celui qui ouvre au commerce de toutes les nations un port dans la Cochinchine occidentale, un port dans le Tonkin, et qui assure le libre transit par le fleuve du Nhi-Hà (Shaungkoï), depuis la mer jusqu'au Yunnan.\n\nLa France, après avoir, de concert avec l'Angleterre, ouvert de nouveaux ports de la Chine au commerce européen, vient donc de poursuivre son œuvre de civilisation et de progrès, en obtenant l'ouverture des ports de l'Annam. Ce royaume sera du reste le premier à retirer des fruits de sa concession; car partout où le commerce européen pénètre, il apporte avec lui la tranquillité et le respect des propriétés comme celui des transactions. Le sud du Tonkin verra bientôt disparaître ces bandes d'insurgés qui y entretenaient un état de désordre permanent.\n\nNos navires protecteurs en auront bientôt fini avec cette flotte de pirates qui, depuis un temps immémorial, exerce des ravages sur les côtes, empêchant toute sortie de navires, tout commerce et jusqu'à la pêche dont les populations du littoral vivent en grande partie; débarquant des hordes de bandits qui pénètrent dans l'intérieur et se livrent à des pillages de toute espèce, enlevant les hommes pour les livrer aux racoleurs de coolies, vendant les femmes pour remplir les maisons de débauche de la Chine.\n\nLà où régnait la plus odieuse barbarie va régner désormais, sous l'abri de notre pavillon, l'activité commerciale, l'ordre et la prospérité. Déjà, sous la protection d'un simple poste que nous avons conservé à Haï-phuong, à l'embouchure du fleuve du Tonkin, un immense marché se tient tous les cinq jours, où les populations apportent des denrées et des objets d'échange de toute sorte.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, les avantages du traité qui vous est proposé nous assurent cet avantage d'avoir à l'avenir auprès du roi Tu-Duc un chargé d'affaires dont l'action conciliatrice fera certainement disparaître les malentendus ou les dissentiments qui pourraient s'élever entre nos nationaux ou nos coreligionnaires et les agents du gouvernement annamite.\n\nQuant à l'Espagne, qui, ayant une injure à venger, avait été notre alliée en Cochinchine, \n\n## 20 Août 1874\n\n... ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles.\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nqu'à que toute crainte à ce sujet soit dissipée par la loyale exécution du traité.\n\n295\n\n## 6005\n\nLe rang de cet envoyé, les honneurs et prérogatives auxquels il aura droit, seront ultérieurement réglés d'un commun accord et sur le pied d'une parfaite réciprocité entre les hautes parties contractantes.\n\nCet engagement politique ne s'étend pas aux traités de commerce. Mais, dans aucun cas, le gouvernement de Sa Majesté le roi de l'Annam ne pourra faire avec une nation, quelle qu'elle soit, de traité de commerce en désaccord avec celui conclu entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, et sans en avoir préalablement informé le Gouvernement français.\n\n**Art. 4.** Son Excellence le Président de la République française s'engage à faire détruire les registres et le dénombrement des chrétiens faits depuis...\n\nDo\n- cent canons de sept à seize centimètres de diamètre approvisionnés à deux cents coups par pièce;\n- mille cartouches.\n- De mille fusils à tabatière et de cinq...\n\nCes bâtiments et armes seront rendus en Cochinchine et livrés dans le délai maximum d'un an, à partir de la date de l'échange des ratifications.\n\n1° De cinq bâtiments à vapeur d'une force de cinq cents chevaux, et parait équipés, conformément aux prescriptions d'armement;\n \n... les articles du Thap Dieu dans lesquels des termes injurieux pour la religion sont employés.\n\nLes évêques et missionnaires pourront librement entrer dans le royaume et circuler dans leurs diocèses avec un passeport du gouverneur de la Cochinchine visé par le ministre des rites. Ils pourront en tous lieux prêcher la doctrine catholique. Ils ne seront soumis à aucune surveillance particulière, et les villages ne seront plus tenus de déclarer aux mandarins ni leur arrivée, ni leur présence, ni leur départ.\n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République française promet en outre de mettre à la disposition du roi des instructeurs militaires et des officiers de marine en nombre suffisant pour reconstituer l'armée et sa flotte; des ingénieurs et d'ateliers capables de diriger les travaux du génie; des hommes experts en matière de finances pour organiser le service des impôts et des douanes dans le royaume; des professeurs pour fonder un collège à Hué.\n\nLes prêtres annamites exerceront librement, comme les missionnaires, leur ministère. Si par leur faute une punition est répréhensible et si, aux termes de la loi, cette punition est passible du bâton ou du rotin, cette peine sera généralement commuée en une punition équivalente.\n\nIl sera assigné un lot de terrain de cent mètres d'étendue aux tombes de la famille Pham; un lot d'égale étendue à celles de la famille Hô.\n\nLes autres articles règlent les questions de douane, les droits de phare et d'ancrage, les frais de pilotage, etc.\n\nEn résumé, les stipulations du traité actuel auront pour effet d'établir entre les deux peuples un régime stable, sous lequel les liens d'amitié entre la France et l'Annam iront certainement en se resserrant chaque jour; aussi votre commission, après avoir appelé dans son sein M. le ministre de la marine et M. l'amiral Dupré, et avoir obtenu de l'honorable amiral de Montaignac et de l'énergique gouverneur de la Cochinchine les explications les plus complètes et les plus satisfaisantes, est-elle unanime à vous proposer l'adoption d'un traité également avantageux aux deux parties contractantes, et qui ajoute une nouvelle page au livre des conquêtes de la civilisation.\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Article unique.** - Le Président de la République française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le traité conclu à Saïgon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam.\n\nUne copie authentique de ce traité sera annexée à la présente loi.\n\n## TRAITÉ\n\nS.

Laget, membre de l'Assemblée national\n\nMessieurs, il y a cinq ans, le conseil municipal de Kerlouan a établi sur les alcools qui entraient dans la commune, une surtaxe des droits d'octroi, de 20 fr. par hectolitre; cette surtaxe doit prendre fin le 31 décembre prochain et le conseil demande l'autorisation de la proroger pour une nouvelle période de cinq années, à partir du 1er janvier prochain.\n\nLa situation financière de la commune de Kerlouan justifie cette demande: elle reste devoir une somme de 2,600 fr. pour solde de la dépense occasionnée par la construction d'une église; elle a à réparer les murs de son cimetière, à construire une annexe à sa maison de charité; à établir une pompe-fontaine, ce qui entraînerait une dépense de 4,700 fr., or, les comptes administratifs des années 1871, 1872 et 1873 démontrent que les recettes ordinaires du budget communal ne se sont élevées en moyenne qu'à 9,227 fr. et que les dépenses corrélatives les ont absorbées à 376 fr. près, quoique les chemins vicinaux et l'instruction primaire soient payés par les centimes spéciaux.\n\nLa surtaxe demandée figurerait pour 1,160 fr. dans le revenu de l'octroi; mais le Gouvernement, tout en reconnaissant que les propositions du conseil municipal sont admissibles en principe, estime que le chiffre doit en être réduit de 20 fr. à 18; il se fonde sur ce que le conseil municipal de Kerlouan a demandé, déjà, au commencement de cette année, l'élévation du droit principal sur les mêmes liquides au taux de 6 fr. par application de la loi du 25 mars 1872, et obtenu du conseil général, par délibération du avril dernier, l'autorisation qu'il sollicitait; cette élévation du droit principal produit une augmentation de recettes de 116 fr., lesquels compensent le produit des 2 fr. retranchés sur le chiffre de la surtaxe. Si la compensation n'est pas complète, s'il y a une différence en moins, la commune peut se procurer l'équivalent par une économie sur son budget.\n\nLe conseil d'Etat est d'accord avec le Gouvernement sur les propositions dont nous sommes saisis.\n\nVotre 28 commission d'intérêt local s'associe également, par les considérations qui précèdent, à ces mêmes propositions et vous demande, à l'unanimité, d'adopter le projet de loi présenté par le Gouvernement et qui est ainsi conçu:\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\nArticle unique. A partir du 1er janvier 1875 et jusqu'au 31 décembre 1879 exclusivement, il sera perçu à l'octroi de la commune de Kerlouan, département du Finistère, une surtaxe de 18 fr. par hectolitre d'alcool pur contenu dans les eaux-de-vie et esprits, liqueurs et fruits à l'eau-de-vie, et par hectolitre d'absinthe.\n\nCette surtaxe est indépendante du droit de 6 fr. par hectolitre, établi en taxe principale.\n\nAnnexe n° 2859...\n\n(Séance du 1 août 1874.) RAPPORT fait au nom de la 26° commission d'intérêt local chargée d'examiner le projet de loi tendant à autoriser le département de la Mayenne à contracter un emprunt pour les travaux des chemins vicinaux ordinaires, par M. Warnier (Marne), membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\n...sacrifices nécessaires. Suivant le rapport de M. l'ingénieur en chef des ponts et chaussées dans le département, le développement total des chemins est de 2,011 kilomètres. Dans ce nombre, 1,456 kilomètres sont à l'état d'entretien, 110 en construction et 444 en lacune.\n\n|             | Fr.        |\n|-------------|------------|\n| La totalité des dépenses prévues, tant pour la construction que pour l'entretien, du 1er janvier 1868 au 31 décembre 1883, s'élève à... | 8,227,479  |\n| Les dépenses faites montaient, au 31 décembre 1872, à | 2,286,731  |\n| Les ressources de 1873, y compris le reliquat des exercices antérieurs, se sont élevées à.. | 1,483,653  |\n| Les ressources probables de 1874 à 1883, y compris les sacrifices consentis par les communes et les particuliers, atteindront le chiffre de. | 2,129,782  |\n| Ensemble | 5,900,166  |\n| Il y a donc un déficit de.. | 2,327,313  |\n\nOn a vu que, sur l'emprunt contracté en 1869 par le département de la Mayenne, une somme de 271,500 fr. était encore à recouvrer. En demandant l'autorisation de contracter un emprunt nouveau de 1,400,000 fr., le conseil général avait manifesté l'intention de renoncer au recouvrement de ce reliquat; mais cette intention n'est pas réalisable, le chiffre adopté pour l'emprunt nouveau, par le conseil général, ne pouvant être maintenu. En effet, un décret du 26 mars dernier a fixé la répartition de 200,000,000 de francs, dont la caisse des chemins vicinaux peut disposer à titre d'avances, et le montant des emprunts que le département et les communes de la Mayenne peuvent être admis à contracter pour l'achèvement du réseau subventionné, a été arrêté à 1,301,000 fr. Or, la part faite ou à faire sur cette somme aux associations municipales est de 301,000 fr., ce qui réduit à 1,000,000 le chiffre que l'emprunt départemental ne peut dépasser.\n\nCette réduction obligera le département à recourir au complément de ressources qu'il peut tirer de la loi du 8 mai 1869. Il convient donc, en raison du déficit constaté, de laisser au conseil général la faculté de se servir du reliquat de 271,500 f. qui reste à recouvrer sur l'emprunt de 1869 pour l'appliquer aux travaux des chemins.\n\nLa réalisation du nouvel emprunt aurait lieu par à compte successifs à dater de 1874. Le remboursement de chacun des termes serait effectué au moyen de trente annuités dont le maximum ne dépasserait pas 40,000 fr.\n\nEn substituant le département aux communes, pour l'opération de l'emprunt, le conseil général entend, ainsi qu'il ressort d'une lettre du 7 mars 1874, de M. le préfet de la Mayenne à M. le ministre de l'intérieur, se réserver le droit de répartition et de recours contre les communes qui seront ultérieurement reconnues en mesure de participer à l'amortissement des sommes empruntées. Il ne serait pas juste, en effet, de créer un privilège au profit des communes qui jusqu'ici n'auraient pas pu ou n'auraient pas voulu faire des sacrifices pour réaliser des emprunts, alors que d'autres, depuis la période décennale commencée en 1869, se sont imposé des contributions extraordinaires qui ne prendront fin que dans un avenir éloigné.\n\n...ment des annuités. Le gage de l'opération est donc suffisamment garanti.\n\nLes charges des contribuables ne devant être accrues par l'opération projetée, la 26 commission d'intérêt local a l'honneur de proposer à l'Assemblée nationale, d'accord avec le Gouvernement, l'adoption du projet de loi suivant:\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\nArt. 1. Le département de la Mayenne est autorisé, conformément à la demande que le conseil général en a faite, à emprunter aux lieu et place des communes à la caisse des chemins vicinaux, aux conditions de cet établissement, la somme de 1 million de francs qui sera affectée aux travaux des chemins ordinaires.\n\nLa réalisation de l'emprunt, soit en totalité, soit par fractions successives, ne pourra avoir lieu qu'en vertu d'une décision du ministre de l'intérieur.\n\nCette décision ne sera prise que sur la production d'un état faisant connaître:\n\n1. Le nom des communes auxquelles le département a entendu se substituer;\n2. La somme pour laquelle il se substitue à chacune d'elles dans le montant de l'emprunt;\n3. La situation financière des communes.\n\nArt. 2. Les fonds nécessaires à l'amortissement de l'emprunt autorisé par l'article 1 ci-dessus seront prélevés tant sur le produit des centimes extraordinaires dont le maximum sera fixé chaque année par la loi de finances, en exécution de la loi du 10 août 1871, que sur les versements qui pourront être effectués par les communes auxquelles le département s'est substitué.\n\nAnnexe n° 2660.\n\n(Séance du 1 août 1874) RAPPORT fait au nom de la 26 commission d'intérêt local sur le projet de loi tendant à créer, sous le nom de Saint-Jean-Denous, une nouvelle commune formée de territoires distraits des communes de Réquista et de Lédergues, par M. de Laurens, membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\nIl y a quatre ans, le 15 juin 1870, les habitants de Saint-Jean-Denous, relevant de divers meaux, les uns situés sur le territoire de la commune de Réquista, les autres sur le bord de la commune de Lédergues, exposaient à M. le préfet de l'Aveyron qu'ils désiraient former une commune distincte, qui serait limitée comme l'était leur circonscription ecclésiastique de Saint-Jean-Denous.\n\nLeur circonscription ecclésiastique, disaient-ils, comprenait un territoire d'une étendue de ... hectares et une population de 672 habitants, répartis dans vingt-huit villages ou hameaux, celui de Saint-Jean-Denous, placé au centre, sur l'embranchement des deux routes départementales n° 10 et 14, forme le chef-lieu. Cette circonscription renferme des terrains d'excellente qualité, travaillés avec soin par les habitants; elle est aujourd'hui en pleine voie de prospérité. D'importantes améliorations agricoles s'y sont accomplies; Saint-Jean-Denous est devenu, grâce à sa position, un centre d'affaires commerciales et agricoles; il possède deux foires très-suivies. Enfin, il y a unanimité pour demander que cette circonscription soit érigée en commune séparée, avec Saint-Jean-Denous pour chef-lieu.\n\nIls faisaient, de plus, observer que la commune de Réquista ne serait pas lésée dans ses intérêts par cette distraction de territoire. La commune de Réquista est, en effet, très-vaste; il lui resterait encore une étendue considérable et une population nombreuse. Le reste de la nouvelle commune qu'il s'agit de créer se composerait des hameaux de Pomarède et de Banassas, appartenant à la commune de Lédergues, dont les habitants ont des rapports quotidiens avec Saint-Jean-Denous, et de très-rares avec Lédergues.\n\n...Le conseil général de la Mayenne avait d'abord décidé que les quatre dernières annuités de l'imposition extraordinaire créée par la loi du 8 mai 1869, seraient affectées au remboursement du nouvel emprunt jusqu'à due concurrence et cumulativement avec des prélèvements sur le produit des 12 centimes à percevoir en exécution de la loi de finances; mais il est vraisemblable, Messieurs, que le conseil général de la Mayenne a demandé, dans sa session d'août 1873, que le déficit de la loi du 8 mai 1869, finira par être réalisé intégralement. On ne saurait, en conséquence, disposer du produit de l'imposition qui sert de gage de l'emprunt.\n\nLe département de la Mayenne a déjà été autorisé, par une loi du 8 mai 1869, à emprunter une somme de 670,000 fr. pour le même objet; mais cet emprunt n'a pu être réalisé que jusqu'à concurrence de 398,500 fr.; il reste 271,500 fr. à recouvrer.\n\nL'insuffisance de la somme obtenue, et l'intérêt du réseau subventionné, demandent de nouveaux sacrifices.\n\n...315,600 fr. A la vérité, une partie de cette somme, c'est-à-dire 216,600 fr. est consacrée à l'amortissement des emprunts contractés précédemment; mais comme on le voit, une somme de 99,000 fr. reste disponible, et tout porte à croire que les communes interviendront dans le payement des annuités.\n\n...Ils ajoutaient que Saint-Jean-Denous possède une église, un presbytère, une école de garçons et une de filles; qu'il y a bien des communes qui ne jouissent pas de cet avantage; qu'il existe en outre des biens communaux dont l'aliénation produirait des revenus suffisants à son administration municipale, et qu'enfin, au cas où la section serait érigée en commune, ils s'engageaient à créer un capital destiné à pourvoir au complément de ses revenus.\n\nPage 300\nPage 301",

(Signed) LYONS.\n\n•\n\n}\n\nInclosure in No. 7.\n\nMemorandum.\n\nLE Gouvernement Français n'a cessé de reconnaître, de même que celui de Sa Majesté Britannique, la valeur des considérations qui engagent les Grandes Puissances à suivre dans leurs rapports avec la Chine et le Japon une politique de solidarité. Loin de rechercher sur ce terrain des avantages exclusifs, il n'a rien négligé pour assurer entre ses représentants et ceux des autres nations l'unité d'action qui est à ses yeux indispensable à l'affermissement et au développement des relations des étrangers avec les nations de l'extrême Orient. S'il est entré isolément en négociations avec le Royaume d'Aunam, c'est des circonstances particulières l'ont obligé à pourvoir aux exigences d'une situation qui lui est propre. Maîtresse d'une partie de la Cochin-Chine, la France ne pouvait en effet rester indifférente à la prolongation des troubles de l'Annam, dangereux à la fois pour la sécurité de ses possessions voisines et pour le pouvoir d'un Souverain son allié, ni laisser s'accroître encore l'audace des nombreux pirates qui entravent dans ces mers les opérations commerciales. Afin de parer à ces dangers, il était nécessaire de venir en aide du Gouvernement Annamite, dont l'autorité et les moyens d'action sont insuffisants pour s'acquitter d'une tâche entourée des plus grandes difficultés. Telles sont les considérations qui se sont imposées aux négociateurs de l'Acte du 15 Mars dernier, destiné à remplacer celui qui liait déjà les deux pays. En échange des secours que la France s'est engagée à fournir à l'Annam, elle était fondée à demander certaines concessions qui, consacrées dans le Traité politique, ont reçu leur développement dans la Convention Commerciale sur laquelle s'est arrêtée l'attention du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique.\n\nPour apprécier en toute impartialité un acte de cette nature, il est indispensable d'en considérer l'ensemble et de ne pas perdre de vue l'état de choses antérieur. A côté des clauses qui soulèvent des objections de la part du Cabinet de Londres, il en est d'autres qui assurent aux pays étrangers des avantages nouveaux et considérables.\n\nLes stipulations mêmes sur lesquelles portent le mémorandum remis par Lord Lytton au Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de France ne paraissent pas justifier les critiques dont elles sont l'objet.\n\nLe traitement de faveur dont jouiront, en ce qui touche les droits de Douane à percevoir dans les ports de l'Annam, les marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon, aura sans doute pour effet de développer le mouvement des affaires sur cette place; mais il s'en faut que le commerce y soit exclusivement entre des mains Françaises, et d'autres pavillons étrangers profiteront, en même temps que le nôtre, de la réduction de moitié du droit modéré de 5 pour cent stipulé par l'Article IV de la Convention.\n\nL'obligation où seront les négociants et les capitaines de toute nationalité de s'adresser à l'Agent Français dans les ports ouverts pour la remise des papiers de bord ou pour le chargement et le déchargement des marchandises, n'impose aux étrangers aucune entrave dont ils aient à se plaindre; ce n'est pas une formalité qui, en s'ajoutant aux présomptions en usage, retarde leurs opérations, et l'intervention de l'Agent Français serait plutôt un gage de régularité dans l'expédition des affaires de la part de l'Administration Indigène.\n\nLe Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique s'est ému de la stipulation qui investit l'Agent Français du droit de statuer, de concert avec un Magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la douane, et de celle qui attribue aux deux Gouvernements la faculté de prononcer la saisie des bâtiments employés à introduire dans le Royaume d'Annam des armes en quantité assez grande pour constituer un danger public. Il est difficile de considérer comme préjudiciable aux intérêts du commerce étranger la participation de l'Agent Français aux décisions qui comporteraient des débats sur l'application des règlements douaniers. Par ses lumières et son expérience, il se trouvera en mesure de rectifier, s'il y a lieu, les appréciations mal fondées des fonctionnaires indigènes, et son impartialité sera à la fois garantie par le devoir qui lui en fait une loi et par sa situation désintéressée. La clause qui exige l'accord des deux Gouvernements pour le prononcé des saisies encourues par des bâtiments ayant enfreint les prescriptions relatives au commerce des armes est également destinée à prévenir toute décision qui ne serait pas équitable. A ne consulter que ses propres convenances, le Gouvernement Français aurait lui-même épargné à ses agents un surcroît d'attributions délicates, et il aurait évité pour\n\n21\n\nune responsabilité dont il ne se dissimule pas le poids. S'il n'a pas cru devoir la décliner, c'est dans la pensée de prévenir par l'intervention de ses Représentants les conflits auxquels pourraient donner naissance dans les premiers temps, surtout de la part des autorités Annamites, l'obligation d'entretenir des rapports nouveaux pour elles avec les étrangers. En stipulant au profit du commerce de toutes les Puissances l'ouverture de certains ports de l'Annam, le Gouvernement Français ne devait pas compter en effet sur une modification immédiate des idées d'un peuple qui se refusait jusqu'ici à toute relation avec le dehors et dont les répugnances n'ont cédé que devant la perspective de compensations importantes.\n\nCes compensations résultent des secours de différente nature que le Royaume d'Annam recevra de la France, et pour que notre assistance ne demeure pas stérile, pour qu'elle ramène dans le pays l'ordre et la prospérité, nous avions à prévenir, par des mesures de prévoyance, la possibilité de toute complication de nature à entraver nos efforts.\n\nLa France abandonne à l'Annam une somme assez élevée qui lui est due et reste garante vis-à-vis de l'Espagne du paiement de la part d'indemnité qu'elle est fondée à réclamer un droit de contrôle suffisant pour que cette garantie ne devînt pas une charge de plus à ajouter à celles que nous assumons.\n\nLe Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique, lorsqu'il a voulu mettre un terme à l'anarchie qui régnait dans des Etats de la presqu'île de Malacca, voisins de ses établissements, a jugé lui-même nécessaire de réserver à ses Représentants une influence décisive sur la direction des affaires. Le Traité conclu le 14 Janvier, 1874, entre M. le Gouverneur des Straits Settlements et le Chef de Perak paraît, à cet égard, plus étendu que ne le fait ressortir l'exposé sommaire inséré au Memorandum annexé à la lettre de Lord Lytton du 15 Novembre, 1874. En dehors de l'Article X, qui investit les résidents Anglais d'un droit de contrôle sur le revenu et l'administration du pays, les Articles VI et VII portent, en effet, que les avis de ces hautes fonctionnaires devront être suivis dans toutes les affaires autres que celles se rapportant à la religion et aux coutumes. D'ailleurs, en faisant à ces arrangements une allusion suggérée par l'analogie des exigences auxquelles la France et l'Angleterre se trouvaient respectivement avoir à satisfaire, nous n'avions d'autre pensée que d'indiquer par ce rapprochement les nécessités qui s'imposent à toute Puissance Européenne placée dans des circonstances semblables.\n\nLes luttes sanglantes qui désolent le Toukin, les excès de toute sorte auxquelles se portent des pirates, aussi nombreux que redoutables, sur le littoral du Royaume d'Annam, étaient faits pour appeler particulièrement l'attention du Gouvernement Français. L'influence qu'il devait à ses anciennes relations avec la Cour de Hué, la confiance qu'il lui a inspirée en lui offrant des témoignages certains de bon vouloir et d'amitié, lui ont permis de surmonter la répugnance d'une nation qui paraissait résolue à interdire à l'élément étranger l'accès de son territoire. Il a mis à profit les dispositions favorables qu'il rencontrait pour consacrer par des stipulations, qui n'ont rien d'exclusif, un régime nouveau constituant un incontestable progrès. C'est à l'initiative de la France que ces concessions sont dues, et quels que soient les avantages particuliers qu'elles lui assurent pour prix de ses sacrifices, elles profiteront au commerce de tous les pays dont le pavillon est représenté dans les mers de l'Indo-Chine.\n\n[81]\n\n165",

For it is to be remembered that in leaving to Annam the right to conclude Commercial Treaties, the French have been careful to stipulate that such Treaties must contain nothing inconsistent with the Treaties with France, and that the French Government must be informed before they are concluded.\n\nIt seems to me to be, in fact, doubtful whether the more liberal interpretation put by the Duc Decazes' paper upon the Commercial Treaty is warranted by the wording of it; and consequently if that Treaty were ratified as it stands by the French Assembly, it might hereafter be construed as conferring, perpetually and exclusively, upon French Agents the jurisdiction over foreigners, which, even as a temporary arrangement, seems to be in principle open to objection.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed). LYONS.\n\nInclosure in No. 78.\n\nMemorandum.\n\nLE Ministre des Affaires Etrangères a examiné, avec toute l'attention qu'il mérite, le memorandum du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique en date du 15 Novembre, 1874, relatif au Traité de Commerce conclu entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. Les observations développées dans ce document portent principalement sur trois points: les droits de juridiction attribués aux Agents Français en tant qu'ils s'entendraient aux sujets des nations Chrétiennes; le privilège en vertu duquel ces mêmes fonctionnaires seraient provisoirement appelés à prononcer sur les difficultés pouvant survenir entre des étrangers et l'administration des Douanes; enfin, les faveurs stipulées au profit des bâtiments chargés de marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon.\n\nDes explications confidentielles ayant déjà été échangées à ce sujet avec son Excellence M. l'Ambassadeur d'Angleterre, le Duc Decazes a pu se convaincre qu'il s'était produit et qu'il existait encore un malentendu sur la portée de quelques-unes des clauses des arrangements intervenus entre le Gouvernement Français et la Cour de Hué.\n\nIl en est ainsi, notamment pour ce qui concerne les attributions dont les résidents Français se trouvent momentanément investis par le Traité Politique, à l'égard des étrangers, dans les nouveaux ports du Royaume d'Annam ouverts à la navigation. En effet, le Cabinet Français s'est proposé, par cette disposition, de satisfaire aux nécessités d'une situation temporaire en assurant à tous les étrangers sans distinction de nationalité qui aborderaient sur le territoire de l'Annam la protection que l'administration Annamite serait hors d'état de leur procurer dans les premiers temps qui suivront la mise à exécution des Traités. Le Cabinet Français a voulu ainsi réserver aux négociants étrangers, aussi bien qu'à ses propres nationaux, un recours contre l'inexpérience et l'animosité possibles de certains fonctionnaires Annamites, tant qu'aucune autre Puissance n'aurait encore d'Agents Consulaires dans le Royaume d'Annam.\n\nOn ne doit pas oublier que si le Gouvernement Annamite s'est engagé à conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de France et à ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles, cet engagement n'exclut ni la conclusion de Traités de Commerce ni l'établissement de Consuls étrangers, qui en serait la conséquence naturelle. Rien ne s'oppose, en effet, à ce que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique ouvre à ce sujet des négociations avec le Royaume d'Annam s'il juge à propos de le faire, et le Gouvernement Français est même tout disposé à l'aider, dans ce but, de ses bons offices auprès de la Cour de Hué.\n\nCette stipulation, empreinte d'un esprit évident de libéralisme, ne saurait donc causer aucun ombrage, et nous pouvons ajouter qu'il en est de même de celles qui attribuent à l'Agent Français le droit de statuer, de concert avec un magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la Douane. Il suffira d'une simple observation pour écarter toute incertitude à cet égard; le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douane, aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\n\n69\n\nEn ce qui concerne la clause relative au port de Saigon, nous devons constater que le Gouvernement de la Reine s'est mépris sur les raisons qui l'ont dictée comme sur la portée qu'il convient d'y donner. Elle est ainsi conçue: \"Les marchandises expédiées de Saïgon pour un des ports ouverts de l'Annam ou à destination du Yunnan, en transit par le Tsong-Koi et celles qui sont expédiées de l'un de ces ports ou du Yunnan pour Saïgon, ne seront soumises qu'à la moitié des droits frappant les marchandises de toute autre provenance ou ayant une autre destination.\"\n\nCe n'est pas à titre gratuit que le Cabinet Français a réclamé et obtenu ce régime spécial pour sa Colonie de Saigon. Il a dû préalablement renoncer au reliquat des sommes encore dues pour l'ancienne indemnité de guerre et qui ne s'élèvent pas à moins de 5,000,000. Il a dû prendre l'engagement de fournir au Gouvernement Annamite l'appui matériel qui lui est nécessaire pour maintenir chez lui l'ordre et la tranquillité et détruire la piraterie qui désole ses côtes; lui promettre 5 bâtiments de guerre à vapeur, 100 canons approvisionnés de 200 coups, et 1,000 fusils à tir rapide; c'est à ce prix que la France acquérait un droit difficile à contester, à des compensations temporaires, et qui n'atténuent qu'incomplètement l'importance de ses sacrifices. Les tarifs actuels sont établis pour une durée de dix ans; ce laps de temps s'écoulera certainement avant que le Gouvernement Français ne soit rentré dans ses déboursés et le privilège qu'il revendique pour le port de Saigon, pendant ces dix années, n'est qu'un faible dédommagement de la somme considérable qu'il abandonne aux Annamites, du matériel de guerre qu'il met à leur disposition et des dépenses qu'il prend à sa charge.\n\nA l'expiration des tarifs actuels, il y aura lieu d'examiner si l'état de choses qu'ils consacrent doit être maintenu ou abrogé. Mais il est d'autant moins possible aujourd'hui de renoncer au bénéfice de ces dispositions, qu'elles ne sont nullement exclusives. Elles seront, en effet, applicables aux bâtiments étrangers comme aux bâtiments nationaux; Saigon est un port franc, et il n'est que trop connu que les établissements de commerce Français créés dans ce port ne sont ni les plus nombreux, ni ceux qui font le trafic le plus étendu.\n\nLe Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de France se plaît à espérer que ces explications suffiront pour rendre aux Traités conclus avec le Royaume d'Annam leur véritable signification. Le Gouvernement Britannique mieux éclairé rendra donc pleine justice à des arrangements qui ouvrent au commerce de toutes les Puissances de nouveaux et précieux débouchés jusqu'à présent fermés à toutes les tentatives, et que la France n'a pu disputer à la barbarie qu'aux prix de longs et cruels sacrifices. Il serait, en vérité, inexplicable que celle des Puissances dont le pavillon occupe la plus grande place dans les mers de l'Inde et de la Chine, et qui est ainsi appelée à profiter le plus largement de cette conquête de la civilisation Européenne, voulût en contester les bienfaits, et pût méconnaître l'esprit dont nous avons été animés dans la poursuite de nos efforts.\n\nParis, le 24 Mai, 1875.\n\n(No. 428.)

IN the paper respecting the Annam Treaties which the Duc Decazes gave me yesterday, and of which a copy is inclosed in my immediately preceding despatch No. 427 of to-day, the Duke refers to his confidential communications with me respecting his answer to the Memorandum presented to him by Lord Lytton, on the 15th November last.\n\nYour Lordship may remember that these communications began by the Duc Decazes putting into my hand, confidentially, in the month of January last, a draft of the answer he proposed to send; that I informed him that an answer in the terms of that draft would be considered as most unsatisfactory by Her Majesty's Government; and that on the 16th February I had a long conversation with him on the question of the Annam Treaties, and put into his hand a Memorandum containing observations on the draft answer.\n\nThe answer which he gave me yesterday is certainly, both in tone and in substance, less unsatisfactory than the original draft; but I cannot say that it very much modifies the opinions I expressed in my despatches No. 58, of the 18th January, and No. 149, of the 16th February last.\n\n[81]",

Lud Lepras No 543\n\n\" Journal des Débats\" Nous avons annoncé récemment que M. le duc Decazes, ministre des affaires étrangères, avait déposé sur le bureau de l'Assemblée un projet de loi portant approbation d'un traité de commerce conclu à Saigon, le 31 août 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam.\n\nLe gouvernement français était représenté par le contre-amiral Krantz, commandant en chef la division navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, gouverneur par intérim et commandant en chef en Cochinchine.\n\nLe roi de l'Annam avait pour représentants deux ambassadeurs.\n\nNous croyons devoir reproduire les deux premiers articles de la convention:\n\n« Art. 1. Conformément aux stipulations de l'article 11 du traité du 15 mars, le roi de l'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Nai dans la province de Binh-binh, de Nint-Hai, dans la province de Hai-Duong, la ville de Hanoï et le fleuve de Nhl-Ha depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière chinoise.\n\n» Art. 2. Dans les ports ouverts, le commerce sera libre, après l'acquittement d'une taxe de 3% de la valeur des marchandises, à leur entrée ou à leur sortie. Ce droit sera de 10% sur le sel.\n\n» Cependant les armes et les munitions de guerre ne pourront être ni importées ni exportées par le commerce.\n\n» Le commerce de l'opium reste assujetti à la réglementation spéciale, établie par le gouvernement annamite.\n\n» L'importation des grains sera toujours permise moyennant un droit de 5%.\n\n» L'exportation des grains ne pourra avoir lieu qu'en vertu d'une autorisation temporaire du gouvernement de l'Annam, autorisation dont il sera donné connaissance au résident français à Hue. Les grains seront, dans ce cas, frappés d'un droit de sortie de 10%.\n\n» L'importation de la soie et du bois dit « Go-liem » sera toujours permise.\n\n» L'exportation de la soie et du bois « Go-liem » ne sera permise chaque année qu'après que les villages qui paient leurs impôts avec ces deux denrées auront totalement acquitté cet impôt en nature, et que le gouvernement annamite en aura acheté les quantités indispensables à son propre usage.\n\n» Le tarif d'entrée ou de sortie sur ces matières sera, comme pour toutes les autres marchandises, de 3%.\n\n» Lorsque le gouvernement annamite aura l'intention de profiter de ce droit de suspendre l'exportation de la soie et du bois « Go-liem », il en préviendra, au moins un mois à l'avance, le résident français à Hué; il lui fera également connaître, un mois à l'avance, l'époque à laquelle l'exportation de ces denrées redeviendra libre.\n\n» Toutes les interdictions, à l'exception de celle qui concerne les armes et les munitions qui ne peuvent être transportées sans une autorisation spéciale du gouvernement annamite, ne s'appliquent pas aux marchandises en transit pour le Yunnan ou venant du Yunnan; mais le gouvernement annamite pourra prendre des mesures de précaution pour empêcher que les objets prohibés soient débarqués sur son territoire.\n\n» Les marchandises transitant par le Yunnan n'acquitteront le droit de douane qu'à leur entrée sur le territoire annamite, qu'elles y arrivent par mer ou par la frontière de Chine (province du Yunnan).\n\n» Aucun autre droit accessoire ou supplémentaire ne pourra être établi sur les marchandises régulièrement introduites à leur passage d'une province ou d'une ville à une autre.\n\n» Il est entendu que les marchandises importées ou exportées par des bâtiments chinois ou appartenant à l'Annam seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions, et que celles importées ou exportées sous pavillon chinois seront soumises aux mêmes droits que les marchandises importées ou exportées sous pavillon européen ou américain (ce que l'on entend, dans ces deux traités, par pavillon étranger); mais ces droits seront perçus séparément par les mandarins annamites du service de la douane et versés dans une caisse spéciale, à la entière disposition du gouvernement annamite.\n\n» L'article 12 de la convention porte que toutes les contestations entre les étrangers et le personnel des douanes au sujet de l'application des règlements douaniers seront jugées par le consul et un magistrat annamite.\n\nLes députés étaient convoqués aujourd'hui dans leurs bureaux afin d'élire les quinze commissaires qui devront examiner le projet portant approbation du traité.\n\nLes députés qui ont été nommés membres de cette commission sont, en suivant l'ordre des bureaux: MM. l'amiral de Kerjégu, Teissere de Bort, Desbassayns de Richemont, Fourcand, Courbet-Poulard, le baron Decazes, Georges Périn, Benoist-d'Azy, Vandier, de Resseguier, Martial Delpit, Laboulaye, l'amiral Jaurès, Bouiller (de la Loire) et Lenoel.\n\nLes commissaires élus sont favorables au projet présenté par le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nJuly 2, 1875 763815-",

(Signed) LYONS. \n\nInclosure in No. 82. \n\nExtract from the \"Journal Officiel\" of July 5, 1875. \n\nProjet de Loi portant l'approbation d'un Traité de Commerce conclu à Saigon, le 31 Août, 1874, entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam, présenté au nom de M. le Maréchal de MacMahon, Duc de Magenta, Président de la République Française, par M. le Duc Decazes, Ministre des Affaires Etrangères. \n\nMessieurs, \n\nExposé des Motifs. \n\nVOUS avez approuvé, au mois d'Août dernier, les termes du Traité conclu, le 15 Mars de la même année, à Saigon, et destiné à définir et à fixer les nouveaux rapports politiques que nous sommes appelés à entretenir désormais avec le Royaume d'Annam. \n\nÚn Traité de Commerce, corollaire du précédent, avait également été préparé, à l'effet de régler les détails d'exécution, les tarifs des Douanes, les taxes de pavillon, la qualité et les attributions des fonctionnaires Français et Annamites appelés à se prêter un mutuel concours dans les ports ouverts, pour la première fois, aux navires de toutes les Puissances maritimes. \n\nMais la nécessité d'étudier quelques points dont l'examen avait été réservé a empêché que le texte du Traité Commercial ne vous fût soumis en même temps que celui du Traité Politique auquel il se rattache, et dont il précise les conséquences. \n\nAujourd'hui l'accord est complet entre nous et la Cour de Hué, et le Gouvernement a la confiance que ce nouvel acte obtiendra votre assentiment comme celui qui l'a précédé et préparé. Nous venons, en conséquence, prier l'Assemblée de nous autoriser à en échanger les ratifications avec la Cour d'Annam. \n\nProjet de Loi. \n\nArticle Unique.-Le Président de la République Française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le Traité de Commerce conclu à Saigon, le 31 Août, 1874, entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. \n\nUne copie authentique de ce Traité sera annexée à la présente Loi. \n\nTraité de Commerce. \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française et Sa Majesté le Roi d'Annam, animés du désir de resserrer les liens qui unissent les deux nations et d'augmenter leur prospérité par la facilité donnée au commerce, ont nommé, dans ce but, pour leurs Plénipotentiaires, savoir :---- \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française, le Contre-Amiral Krantz, Commandant-en-chef la Division Navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, Gouverneur par intérim et Commandant-en-chef en Cochinchine, Commandeur de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur, &c. ; \n\n73 \n\nSa Majesté le Roi de l'Annam, les hauts fonctionnaires, Nguyen, van Tu'o'ng, Ministre de la Justice, décoré du titre de Ki-vi-ba, Premier Ambassadeur; et Nguyễn Tàng Doàn, thi lang du Ministre de l'Intérieur, deuxième Ambassadeur; \n\nLesquels, après communication de leurs pouvoirs respectifs trouvés en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :- \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nConformément aux stipulations de l'Article XI du Traité du 15 Mars, le Roi de l'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Nai, dans la province de Binh-Dinh de Ninh-Haï, dans la province de Haï-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Ha, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière Chinoise. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nDans les ports ouverts, le commerce sera libre, après l'acquittement d'une taxe de 5 pour cent de la valeur des marchandises à leur entrée ou à leur sortie. Ce droit sera de 10 pour cent sur le sel. \n\nCependant, les armes et les munitions de guerre ne pourront être ni importées ni exportées par le commerce. \n\nLe commerce de l'opium reste assujetti à sa règlementation spéciale établie par le Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nL'importation des grains sera toujours permise moyennant un droit de 5 pour cent. \n\nL'exportation des grains ne pourra avoir lieu qu'en vertu d'une autorisation temporaire du Gouvernement de l'Annam, autorisation dont il sera donné connaisance au résident Français à Hué. Les grains seront, dans ce cas, frappés d'un droit de sortie de 10 pour cent. \n\nL'importation de la soie et du go-liem sera toujours permise, \n\nL'exportation de la soie et du bois dit \"go-liem\" ne sera permise chaque année qu'après que les villages qui payent leurs impôts avec ces deux denrées auront totalement acquitté cet impôt en nature, et que le Gouvernement Annamite en aura acheté les quantités indispensables à son propre usage. \n\nLe tarif d'entrée ou de sortie sur ces matières sera, comme pour toutes les autres marchandises, de 5 pour cent. \n\nLorsque le Gouvernement Annamite aura l'intention de profiter de ce droit de suspendre l'exportation de la soie et du bois \"go-liem,\" il en préviendra, au moins un mois à l'avance, le résident Français à Hué; il lui fera également connaître un mois à l'avance l'époque à laquelle l'exportation de ces denrées redeviendra libre. \n\nToutes les interdictions, à l'exception de celle qui concerne les armes et les munitions qui ne peuvent être transportées sans une autorisation spéciale du Gouvernement Annamite, ne s'appliquent pas aux marchandises en transit pour le Yunnan ou venant du Yunnan; mais le Gouvernement Annamite pourra prendre des mesures de précaution pour empêcher que les objets prohibés soient débarqués sur son territoire. \n\nLes marchandises transitant par le Yunnan n'acquitteront le droit de Douane qu'à leur entrée sur le territoire Annamite, qu'elles y arrivent par mer ou par la frontière de Chine (province du Yunnan). \n\nAucun autre droit accessoire ou supplémentaire ne pourra être établi sur les marchandises régulièrement introduites à leur passage d'une province ou d'une ville à une autre. \n\nIl est entendu que les marchandises importées ou exportées par des bâtiments Chinois ou appartenant à l'Annam seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions, et que celles importées ou exportées sous pavillon Chinois seront soumises aux mêmes droits que les marchandises importées ou exportées sous pavillon Européen ou Américain (ce que l'on entend dans ces deux Traités, par pavillon étranger), mais ces droits seront perçus séparément par les Mandarins Annamites du service de la Douane et versés dans une caisse spéciale, à l'entière disposition du Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nLes droits de phare et d'ancrage sont fixés à trois dixièmes de taël par tonneau de jauge pour les navires entrant et sortant avec un chargement, et à quinze centièmes de taël par tonneau pour les navires entrant sur lest et sortant chargés, ou entrant chargés et sortant sur lest. \n\nU \n\n[81] \n\n358",

Dans les vingt-quatre heures suivantes, le Consul enverra au Chef de la Douane un extrait du rôle d'équipage et une note détaillée indiquant le nom du navire, le tonnage légal du bâtiment, et la nature de son chargement; si, par suite de la négligence du capitaine, cette dernière formalité n'avait pu être accomplie dans les quarante-huit heures qui suivront l'arrivée du navire, le capitaine sera passible d'une amende de 50 piastres par jour de retard au profit de la caisse des Douanes; ladite amende, toutefois, ne pourra dépasser la somme de 200 piastres.\n\nAussitôt après la réception de la note transmise par le Consulat, le Chef de la Douane délivrera le permis d'ouvrir la cale. Si le capitaine, avant d'avoir reçu le permis précité, avait ouvert la cale et commencé à décharger, il pourrait être condamné à une amende de 500 piastres au plus, et les marchandises débarquées pourraient être saisies, le tout au profit de la caisse des Douanes.\n\nLes armes et les munitions de guerre que les bâtiments de commerce pourraient avoir à bord pour leur propre sûreté, devront être énumérées sur les papiers de bord et déclarées en même temps que la composition de la cargaison, à leur arrivée au port ou à la Douane.\n\nSi les fonctionnaires du Gouvernement Annamite le jugent nécessaire, ces armes seront mises en dépôt à terre, entre les mains du Capitaine du Port et du Consul, ou dans la poste frontière, pour n'être rendues qu'au départ du bâtiment, soit qu'il prenne la mer, soit qu'il pénètre sur le territoire Chinois.\n\nDans ce dernier cas, la quantité de munitions et d'armes sera déterminée par le Consul et le Chef de la Douane, en raison des circonstances. Les contraventions seront punies de la confiscation des armes au profit du Gouvernement Annamite et, en outre, d'une amende qui ne pourra excéder 500 piastres.\n\nSi un bâtiment a débarqué clandestinement des armes ou des munitions sur le territoire Annamite, ces armes, si elles sont en petit nombre, seront confisquées et les contrevenants seront en outre punis d'une amende de 500 piastres au plus; mais si la quantité d'armes ou de munitions de guerre ainsi débarquées est considérable et constitue un danger, le bâtiment pourra être saisi et confisqué, ainsi que tout ou partie du chargement.\n\nLa confiscation d'un bâtiment Européen ou Américain ne pourra être prononcée que par les deux Gouvernements.\n\nARTICLE XVI.\n\nLes capitaines et négociants étrangers pourront louer telles espèces d'allèges et d'embarcations qu'il leur plaira pour transporter des marchandises et des passagers, et la rétribution à payer pour ces allèges sera réglée de gré à gré par les parties intéressées, sans l'intervention de l'autorité Annamite, et par conséquent sans sa garantie, en cas d'accident, de fraude, et de disparition desdits allèges.\n\nLe nombre n'en sera pas limité et le monopole n'en pourra être concédé à qui que ce soit, non plus que celui de transport, par portefaix, des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer.\n\nARTICLE XVII.\n\nToutes les fois qu'un négociant étranger aura des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer, il devra d'abord remettre la note détaillée au Consul ou Agent Consulaire, qui en donnera communication au Chef de la Douane. Celui-ci délivrera sur le champ un permis d'embarquement ou de débarquement. Il sera alors procédé à la vérification des marchandises, dans la forme la plus convenable pour qu'il n'y ait chance de perte pour aucune des parties.\n\nLe négociant devra se faire représenter sur le lieu de la vérification (s'il ne préfère y assister lui-même), par une personne réunissant les qualités requises, à l'effet de veiller à ses intérêts au moment où il sera procédé à cette vérification pour la liquidation des droits; faute de quoi, toute réclamation ultérieure restera nulle et non avenue.\n\nSi le négociant ne peut tomber d'accord avec l'employé Annamite sur la valeur à fixer, chaque partie appellera deux ou trois négociants chargés d'examiner les marchandises, et le prix le plus élevé qui sera offert par l'un d'eux sera réputé constituer la valeur des dites marchandises.\n\nLes droits seront prélevés sur le poids net. On déduira en conséquence le poids des emballages et contenants. Si le négociant ne peut s'entendre avec l'employé Annamite sur la fixation de la tare, chaque partie choisira un certain nombre de caisses et de ballots parmi les colis objets du litige; ils seront d'abord pesés bruts, puis tarés ensuite, et la tare moyenne des colis pesés servira de tare pour tous les autres.\n\nSi, pendant le cours de la vérification, il s'élève quelque difficulté qui ne puisse être résolue, le négociant pourra réclamer l'intervention du Consul, lequel portera sur-le-champ l'objet de la contestation au chef des Douanes, et tous deux s'efforceront d'arriver à un arrangement amiable; mais la réclamation devra avoir lieu dans les vingt-quatre heures, sinon il n'y sera pas donnée suite. Tant que le résultat de la contestation restera pendant, le Chef de la Douane n'en portera pas l'objet sur les livres, laissant ainsi toute latitude pour l'examen et la solution de la difficulté.\n\nLes marchandises qui auraient éprouvé des avaries jouiront d'une réduction de droits proportionnée à leur dépréciation. Celle-ci sera déterminée équitablement, et, s'il le faut, par expertise contradictoire, ainsi qu'il a été stipulé plus haut.\n\nARTICLE XVIII.\n\nTout bâtiment entré dans l'un des ports ouverts de l'Annam, et qui n'a point encore levé le permis de débarquement mentionné dans l'Article précédent, pourra dans les deux jours de son arrivée, quitter le port et se rendre dans un port, sans avoir à payer ni droits d'ancrage ni droits de Douane, attendu qu'il les acquittera ultérieurement dans le port où il effectuera la vente de ses marchandises.\n\nARTICLE XIX.\n\nLes droits d'importation seront acquittés par les capitaines ou négociants au fur et à mesure du débarquement des marchandises et après leur vérification. Les droits d'exportation le seront de la même manière lors de l'embarquement. Lorsque les droits de tonnage et de Douane dus par un bâtiment étranger auront été intégralement acquittés, le Chef de la Douane délivrera une quittance générale, sur l'exhibition de laquelle le Consul rendra ses papiers de bord au capitaine et lui permettra de partir.\n\nToutefois, si le Capitaine y consent, il sera loisible à l'administration des Douanes (afin de faciliter les opérations du commerce) de percevoir les droits d'après les papiers de bord sans qu'on soit obligé de décharger les marchandises pour en constater la valeur et la quantité.\n\nARTICLE XX.\n\nAprès l'expiration des deux jours mentionnés dans l'Article XVIII, et avant de procéder au déchargement, chaque bâtiment de commerce acquittera intégralement les droits de phare et d'ancrage fixés par l'Article III. Aucun autre droit, rétribution, ou surcharge ne pourra être exigé sous aucun prétexte.\n\nLors du payement du droit précité, le Chef de la Douane délivrera au capitaine ou au consignataire un reçu en forme de certificat constatant que les droits de phare et d'ancrage ont été intégralement acquittés, et, sur l'exhibition de ce certificat au Chef de la Douane de tout autre port où il lui conviendrait de se rendre, le capitaine sera dispensé de payer de nouveau ces droits pour son bâtiment, tout navire étranger ne devant en être passible qu'une seule fois à chacun de ses voyages d'un pays étranger en Annam.\n\nARTICLE XXI.\n\nTout navire étranger entré dans l'un des ports ouverts au commerce et qui n'y voudra décharger qu'une partie de ses marchandises, ne payera les droits de Douane que pour la partie débarquée; il pourra transporter le reste de sa cargaison dans un autre port et l'y vendre. Les droits seront alors acquittés.\n\nDans le cas où des étrangers, après avoir acquitté dans un port les droits sur des marchandises, voudraient les réexporter et aller les vendre dans un autre port, ils en préviendraient le Consul ou Agent Consulaire; celui-ci, de son côté, informera le Chef de la Douane, lequel, après avoir constaté l'identité de la marchandise et la parfaite intégrité des colis, remettra aux réclamants une déclaration attestant que les droits afférents auxdites marchandises ont été effectivement acquittés.\n\nMunis de cette déclaration, les négociants étrangers n'auront, à leur arrivée dans l'autre port, qu'à la présenter par l'entremise du Consul au Chef de la Douane, qui délivrera, pour cette partie de la cargaison, sans retard et sans frais, un permis de débarquement en franchise de droits; mais si l'autorité découvrait de la fraude ou de la contrebande parmi ces marchandises ainsi réexportées, celles-ci seraient, après vérification, confisquées au profit de la caisse des Douanes.\n\nARTICLE XXII.\n\nAucun transbordement de marchandises ne pourra avoir lieu que sur permis spécial et dans un cas d'urgence. S'il devient indispensable d'effectuer cette opération, il devra en être référé au Consul, qui délivrera un certificat, sur le vu duquel le transbordement sera autorisé par le Chef de la Douane. Celui-ci pourra toujours déléguer un employé de son administration pour y assister.\n\n[8]\n\nX\n\n300",

Ces étalons seront la base de toutes les liquidations de droits et de payements à faire. On y aura recours en cas de contestation sur le poids et la mesure des marchandises, et il sera statué d'après les résultats qu'il auront donnés. \n\nARTICLE XXIV. \n\nToute marchandise introduite ou exportée en contrebande, par des navires ou par des négociants étrangers dans les ports, quelles que soient d'ailleurs sa valeur et sa nature, comme aussi toute denrée prohibée débarquée frauduleusement, sera saisie par l'autorité locale et confisquée. En outre, le Gouvernement Annamite pourra, si bon lui semble, interdire l'entrée de ses ports au bâtiment surpris en contravention et le contraindre à partir aussitôt après l'apuration de ses comptes. Si quelque navire étranger se couvrait frauduleusement d'un pavillon qui ne serait pas le sien, l'autorité Française prendrait les mesures nécessaires pour la répression de cet abus. \n\nLa totalité des sommes provenant de la vente des objets confisqués sera versée à la caisse de la Douane. Le produit des amendes pour contravention aux règlements des douanes, dans les ports ouverts, sera également versé à cette caisse. \n\nARTICLE XXV. \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française pourra faire stationner un bâtiment de guerre dans les ports ouverts de l'Empire où sa présence sera jugée nécessaire pour maintenir le bon ordre et la discipline parmi les équipages des navires marchands et faciliter l'exercice de l'autorité Consulaire. Toutes les mesures nécessaires seront prises pour que la présence de ces navires de guerre n'entraîne aucun inconvénient. Les bâtiments de guerre ne seront assujettis à aucun droit. \n\nARTICLE XXVI. \n\nTout bâtiment de guerre Français croisant pour la protection du commerce sera reçu en ami et traité comme tel dans tous les ports de l'Annam où il se présentera. Ces bâtiments pourront s'y procurer les divers objets de rechange et de ravitaillement dont ils auraient besoin, et s'ils ont fait des avaries, les réparer et acheter dans ce but les matériaux nécessaires, le tout sans la moindre opposition. \n\nIl en sera de même à l'égard des navires de commerce Français ou étrangers qui, par suite d'avaries majeures ou pour toute autre cause, seraient contraints de chercher refuge dans un port quelconque de l'Annam. Mais ces navires devront également n'y séjourner que momentanément; et aussitôt que la cause de leur relâche aura cessé, ils devront appareiller sans pouvoir y prolonger leur séjour et sans pouvoir y commercer. \n\nSi quelqu'un de ces bâtiments venait à se perdre sur la côte, l'autorité la plus proche, dès qu'elle en serait informée, porterait sur-le-champ assistance à l'équipage, pourvoirait à ses premiers besoins, et prendrait les mesures d'urgence nécessaires pour le sauvetage du navire et la préservation des marchandises. Puis elle porterait le tout à la connaissance du Consul ou Agent Consulaire le plus à portée du sinistre, pour que celui-ci, de concert avec l'autorité compétente, pût aviser aux moyens de rapatrier l'équipage et de sauver les débris du navire et de la cargaison. \n\nLe port de Thuan-an, à cause de sa situation dans une rivière qui conduit à la capitale et de sa proximité de cette capitale, fera exception, et aucun bâtiment étranger de guerre ou de commerce ne pourra y pénétrer. \n\nCependant, si un bâtiment de guerre Français était chargé d'une mission pressée pour le Gouvernement de Hué ou pour le résident Français, il pourrait franchir la barre après en avoir demandé et obtenu l'autorisation expresse du Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nARTICLE XXVII. \n\nLes navires de commerce Annamites qui se rendront dans tous les ports de France \n\n79 \n\nou des six Provinces Françaises de la Basse-Cochinchine pour y commercer, y seront traités au point de vue des droits de toute nature comme la nation la plus favorisée. \n\nARTICLE XXVIII. \n\nLe Gouvernement Français renouvelle la promesse faite au Gouvernement Annamite à l'Article II du Traité du 15 Mars, de faire tous ses efforts pour détruire les pirates de terre et de mer, particulièrement dans le voisinage des villes et ports ouverts au commerce Européen, de façon à rendre les opérations du commerce aussi sûres que possible. \n\nARTICLE XXIX. \n\nLa présente Convention aura la même force que le Traité du 15 Mars, 1874, auquel elle restera attachée; elle sera mise en vigueur aussitôt après l'échange des ratifications qui aura lieu en même temps que celui du Traité du 15 Mars, 1874, si c'est possible, et en tous les cas avant le 15 Mars, 1875, \n\nsceaux. \n\nEn foi de quoi les Plénipotentiaires respectifs l'ont signée et y ont apposé leurs \n\nFait à Saigon, au Palais du Gouvernement, en deux expéditions en chaque langue comparées et conformes entre elles, le 31 Août, 1874. \n\n(Signé) KRANTZ, &c., &c. \n\nAfin d'éviter des difficultés dans l'interprétation de quelques passages des nouveaux Traités, les Plénipotentiaires des deux Hautes Parties Contractantes sont convenus d'ajouter au présent Traité un Article Additionnel, qui sera considéré comme en faisant partie intégrante, \n\nARTICLE ADDITIONNEL. \n\nIl est entendu que la ville même de Hanoï est ouverte au commerce étranger, et qu'il y aura dans cette ville un Consul avec son escorte, une douane, et que les Européens pourront y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation aussi bien qu'à Ninh-Haï et à Thi Nai. \n\nSi par la suite on reconnaissait que la Douane de Hanoï est inutile et que celle de Ninh-Hai suffit, la Douane de Hanoi pourrait être supprimée; mais il y aurait toujours dans cette ville un Consul et son escorte, et les Européens continueraient à y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation. \n\nLes terrains nécessaires pour bâtir les habitations des Consuls et de leurs escortes seront cédés gratuitement au Gouvernement Français par le Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nL'étendue de ces terrains sera dans chacune de villes ou ports ouverts de cinq maus, mesure Annamite (environ deux hectares et demi). Les terrains nécessaires aux Européens pour élever leurs maisons d'habitation ou leurs magasins seront achetés par eux aux propriétaires; les Consuls et les autorités Annamites interviendront dans ces achats, de façon à ce que tout se passe avec équité. Les magasins et les habitations des commerçants seront aussi rapprochés que possible de la demeure des Consuls. \n\nA Ninh-Haï le Consul et son escorte continueront à occuper les forts tant que cela sera jugé nécessaire pour assurer la police et la sécurité du commerce. Il habitera plus tard sur le terrain de cinq maus qui lui aura été concédé. \n\nOn respectera les pagodes et les sépultures, et les Européens ne pourront acheter les terrains sur lesquels il existe des habitations qu'avec le consentement des propriétaires et en payant une juste indemnité. \n\nLes commerçants Européens payeront l'impôt foncier d'après les tarifs en usage dans la localité où ils habiteront, mais ils ne payeront aucun autre impôt. \n\nA Saïgon, le 31 Août, 1874. \n\n(Signé) \n\nKRANTZ, &c., &c. \n\nConvention annexe au Traité de Commerce du 31 Août, 1874. \n\nLe Contre-Amiral Krantz, Commandant-en-chef la Division Navale des Mers de Chine et du Japon, Gouverneur par intérim et Commandant-en-chef en Cochinchine, Commandeur de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur, etc., muni des pleins pouvoirs de son Excellence le Président de la République Française ; \n\n301",

It adds that it was necessary to make the stipulations respecting it absolute as regards Annam, but that as regards foreign nations, it is plain that it was provided as an advantage of which they might avail themselves if they pleased, but which the French Government had never any idea of imposing upon them, and respecting which it intended to enter into explanations with foreign Governments.\n\nObservations of the same kind are made on the stipulations which confer on French agents the right to decide in concert with a native Magistrate disputes between foreigners and the Annamite Custom-houses.\n\nThe note affirms distinctly that other nations have the right to conclude Commercial Treaties with Annam, and to establish, in consequence, Consuls of their own; and it declares that the French Government understands that Foreign Consuls, so soon as they shall be established, will thenceforward have the duty and the care of providing themselves for the protection of their countrymen in Customs' matters as well as in questions of jurisdiction.\n\nThe good offices of France are offered to assist Great Britain in negotiating a Commercial Treaty with Annam.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) LYONS.\n\nM. l'Ambassadeur,\n\nInclosure in No. 86.\n\nM. Buffet to Lord Lyons.\n\nVersailles, le 8 Juillet, 1875. M. LE DUC DECAZES, en quittant Paris, m'a laissé le soin de répondre à la lettre que votre Excellence lui a adressée, en date du 26 Juin, au sujet de certaines stipulations des Traités conclus entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. Mon collègue vous a déjà fait part verbalement des remarques que cette communication lui a suggérées, et je n'ai moi-même qu'à reproduire ici les explications dans lesquelles il est entré avec vous.\n\nLes observations du Gouvernement Anglais portent principalement sur trois points: les droits de juridiction attribués aux agents Français, en tant qu'ils s'étendraient aux sujets des nations Chrétiennes, le privilège en vertu duquel ces mêmes fonctionnaires seraient provisoirement appelés à prononcer sur les difficultés pouvant survenir entre des étrangers et l'administration des Douanes: enfin, les faveurs stipulées au profit des bâtiments chargés de marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon.\n\nLes explications développées, en dernier lieu, par votre Excellence, confirmant le Gouvernement Français dans l'opinion qu'il s'est produite, ainsi que M. le Duc Decazes l'a déclaré, un malentendu sur la portée de quelques-unes des clauses des arrangements intervenus entre la France et l'Annam. Il en est ainsi, notamment pour ce qui concerne les attributions dont les Résidents Français se trouvent éventuellement investis par le Traité Politique à l'égard des étrangers dans les nouveaux ports ouverts à la navigation. En effet, cette disposition a eu pour objet de satisfaire aux nécessités d'une situation temporaire en assurant à tous les étrangers, sans distinction de nationalité, auxquels le territoire de l'Annam est désormais accessible, la protection que l'Administration Annamite serait hors d'état de leur procurer, dans les premiers temps qui suivront la mise à exécution des Traités.\n\nVis-à-vis du Gouvernement Annamite, la clause devrait être absolue, car il s'agissait d'enlever ces étrangers à la juridiction locale; vis-à-vis des Gouvernements étrangers, au contraire, il était de toute évidence qu'elle constituait pour eux un avantage dont il leur serait loisible de profiter, mais qu'il n'entrait pas dans notre pensée de leur imposer; nous nous réservions d'ailleurs d'en faire ultérieurement l'objet d'un échange d'explications avec eux.\n\nC'est ainsi que le Cabinet Français entendait ménager aux négociants étrangers, dans les cas où il leur conviendrait de faire appel à l'intervention de ses Agents aussi bien qu'à l'égard de ses propres nationaux, un recours contre l'inexpérience et l'animosité possibles de certains fonctionnaires Annamites, tant qu'aucune autre Puissance n'aurait encore d'Agent Consulaire dans le royaume d'Annam.\n\n83\n\nOn ne doit pas oublier que si le Gouvernement Annamite s'est engagé à conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de la France et à ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles, cet engagement n'exclut ni la conclusion de Traités de Commerce, ni l'établissement de Consuls étrangers, qui en serait la conséquence naturelle. Rien ne s'oppose, en effet, à ce que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique ouvre à ce sujet des négociations avec le Royaume d'Annam, s'il juge à propos de le faire, et le Gouvernement Français est même tout disposé à l'aider dans ce but de ses bons offices auprès de la Cour de Hué.\n\nCette stipulation, empreinte d'un esprit évident de libéralisme, ne saurait donc causer aucun ombrage, et nous pouvons ajouter qu'il en est de même de celle qui attribue à l'Agent Français le droit de statuer, de concert avec un Magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la Douane. Il suffira d'une simple observation pour écarter toute incertitude à cet égard. Le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douane aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la clause relative au port de Saigon, nous devons constater que le Gouvernement de la Reine s'est mépris sur les raisons qui l'ont dictée comme sur la portée qu'il convient d'y donner. Elle est ainsi conçue: \"Les marchandises expédiées de Saigon pour un des ports ouverts de l'Annam ou à destination du Yunnan, en transit par les Tsong-koï, et celles qui sont expédiées de l'un de ces ports ou du Yunnan pour Saigon ne seront soumises qu'à la moitié des droits frappant les marchandises de toute autre provenance ou ayant une autre destination.\"\n\nCe n'est pas à titre gratuit que le Gouvernement Français a réclamé et obtenu ce régime spécial pour sa Colonie de Saigon. Il a dû préalablement renoncer au reliquat des sommes encore dues pour l'ancienne indemnité de guerre et qui ne s'élèvent pas à moins de 5,000,000. Il a dû prendre l'engagement de fournir au Gouvernement Annamite l'appui matériel qui lui est nécessaire pour maintenir chez lui l'ordre et la tranquillité et détruire la piraterie qui désole ses côtes, lui promettre cinq bâtiments de guerre à vapeur, cents canons approvisionnés de deux cents coups et mille fusils à tir rapide: c'est à ce prix que la France acquérait un droit difficile à contester à des compensations temporaires et qui n'atténuent qu'incomplètement l'importance de ses sacrifices. Les tarifs actuels sont établis pour une durée de dix ans; ce laps de temps s'écoulera certainement avant que le Gouvernement Français ne soit rentré dans ses déboursés et le privilège qu'il revendique pour le port de Saigon, pendant ces dix années, n'est qu'un faible dédommagement de la somme considérable qu'il abandonne aux Annamites, du matériel de guerre qu'il met à leur disposition et des dépenses qu'il prend à sa charge.\n\nA l'expiration des tarifs actuels, il y aura lieu d'examiner si l'état de choses qu'ils consacrent doit être maintenu ou abrogé. Mais il est d'autant moins possible, aujourd'hui, de renoncer au bénéfice de ces dispositions, qu'elles ne sont nullement exclusives. Elles seront, en effet, applicables aux bâtiments étrangers comme aux bâtiments nationaux; Saigon est un port franc et il n'est que trop connu que les établissements de commerce Français créés dans ce port ne sont, ni les plus nombreux, ni ceux qui font le trafic le plus étendu.\n\nNous nous plaisons à espérer que ces explications suffiront pour rendre aux Traités conclus avec le Royaume d'Annam leur véritable signification. Le Gouvernement Britannique, mieux éclairé, rendra donc pleine justice à des arrangements qui ouvrent au commerce de toutes les Puissances de nouveaux et précieux débouchés, jusqu'à présent fermés à toutes les tentatives, et que la France n'a pu disputer à la barbarie qu'au prix de longs et cruels sacrifices. Le Gouvernement Français aurait peine à s'expliquer que celle de ces Puissances dont le pavillon occupe la plus grande place dans les mers de l'Inde et de la Chine, et qui est ainsi appelée à profiter le plus largement de cette conquête de la civilisation Européenne, voulût en contester les bienfaits et pût méconnaître l'esprit dont nous avons été animés dans la poursuite de nos efforts.\n\nAgréez, &c.\n\n(Signé) BUFFET, Chargé par intérim du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères.\n\nSC3",

My Lord,\n\nNo. 87.\n\nLord Lyons to the Earl of Derby.-(Received July 10.)\n\nParis, July 9, 1875.\n\nYOUR Lordship will not fail to observe that the note from the French Government, of which a copy is inclosed in my immediately-preceding despatch No. 581, of to-day, is in the main a transcript of the unsigned Memorandum respecting the Annam Treaties, which was given to me by the Duc Decazes on the 24th May last, and transmitted by me to your Lordship in my despatch No. 427, of the following day,\n\nThe observations, therefore, which I made in that despatch apply equally to the present note, and it is unnecessary to revert here to any other questions than those concerning the jurisdiction of French Agents over foreigners, and the interference of those Agents in the commercial transactions of foreigners.\n\nSo far as the present note differs from the Memorandum of the 24th May, it is more explicit on these points, for, in the note, the following explanation appears, which was not given in the Memorandum:-\n\n\"Vis-à-vis du Gouvernement Annamite la clause devait être absolue, car il s'agissait d'enlever ces étrangers à la juridiction locale; vis-à-vis des Gouvernements étrangers, au contraire, il était de toute évidence qu'elle constituait pour eux un avantage dont il leur serait loisible de profiter, mais qu'il n'entrait pas dans notre pensée de leur imposer; nous nous réservons d'ailleurs d'en faire ultérieurement l'objet d'un échange d'explications avec eux.\"\n\nSo far, indeed, as regards the questions of jurisdiction, the note appears to me to be satisfactory.\n\nI should be inclined to say the same things respecting the Customs questions, if I were sure that the phrase respecting the functions of foreign consuls, when they should be established, applied to the obligations imposed by the XVth and XVIIth Articles of the Treaty. Your Lordship will remember that these are the Articles which require the masters of foreign vessels to report their arrival to the French Consul, and to place their ships' papers in his hands, and which also require foreign merchants to load or unload goods only through the agency of the French Consul.\n\nThe phrase in the note runs as follows:-\n\n\"Le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douanes aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\"\n\nI am not sure that the French Government would not admit that this clause implied that the intervention of the French Consuls in the matters which I have mentioned above, would be transferred, in the case of British vessels or British merchants, to the British Consul, as soon as one was established. Still the intervention of the French Consul seems so likely to have been insisted upon, with a view to the enforcement of the differential duties in favour of Saigon, that I cannot feel quite at ease upon the subject.\n\nI suppose, however, that unless a trade of so much importance as to render it worth while to establish British Consuls should spring up, it might, in fact, be rather useful than detrimental to British subjects to be placed under the special protection and authority of French agents, instead of being entirely at the mercy of the native authorities.\n\nAs regards the present state of the communications between the British and French Governments, it must be remembered that the French Government has obtained from the National Assembly power to ratify both the political and commercial Treaties, that it is preparing to carry them into operation, and that it is plain that it will not be deterred from doing so by any representations from Her Majesty's Government which do not go beyond friendly remonstrances.\n\nThis being the case, if Her Majesty's Government be satisfied with the explanations given in the present French note on the Jurisdiction and Customs question, it may perhaps be well simply to accept and take note of those explanations in a communication confined to those questions, and thus, as it were, to establish at once the interpretation of the Treaty by an exchange of notes.\n\nThis would perhaps be the most certain and convenient way of establishing that interpretation.\n\nBut if Her Majesty's Government think that the assurances given in the present note require further elucidation, it might perhaps be possible to settle with the French Government beforehand the exact terms of notes to be exchanged.\n\nIt might possibly, however, be found more difficult in this way to avoid something\n\nNo. 88.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nLYONS.\n\nLord Lyons to the Earl of Derby-(Received July 12.)\n\n(No. 585.)

Les contraventions seront punies de la confiscation des armes au profit du gouvernement annamite et, en outre, d'une amende qui ne pourra excéder cinq cents piastres.\n\nSi un bâtiment a débarqué clandestinement des armes ou des munitions sur le territoire annamite, ces armes, si elles sont en petit nombre, seront confisquées et les contrevenants seront en outre punis d'une amende de cinq cents piastres au plus; mais si la quantité d'armes ou de munitions de guerre ainsi débarquée est considérable et constitue un danger, le bâtiment pourra être saisi et confisqué, ainsi que tout ou partie du chargement.\n\nLa confiscation d'un bâtiment européen ou américain ne pourra être prononcée que par les deux gouvernements.\n\nArt. 16.

Toutes les fois qu'un négociant étranger aura des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer, il devra d'abord remettre la note détaillée au consul ou agent consulaire qui en donnera communication au chef de la douane. Celui-ci délivrera sur-le-champ un permis d'embarquement ou de débarquement. Il sera alors procédé à la vérification des marchandises, dans la forme la plus convenable pour qu'il n'y ait chance de perte pour aucune des parties.\n\nLe négociant devra se faire représenter sur le lieu de la vérification (s'il ne préfère y assister lui-même), par une personne réunissant les qualités requises, à l'effet de veiller à ses intérêts au moment où il sera procédé à cette vérification pour la liquidation des droits; faute de quoi, toute réclamation ultérieure restera nulle et non avenue.\n\nLes marchandises qui auraient éprouvé des avaries jouiront d'une réduction de droits proportionnée à leur dépréciation.

Les droits d'importation seront acquittés par les capitaines ou négociants au fur et à mesure du débarquement des marchandises et après leur vérification. Les droits d'exportation le seront de la même manière lors de l'embarquement. Lorsque les droits de tonnage et de douane dus par un bâtiment étranger auront été intégralement acquittés, le chef de la douane délivrera une quittance générale, sur exhibition de laquelle le consul rendra ses papiers de bord au capitaine et lui permettra de partir.\n\nToutefois, si le capitaine y consent, il sera loisible à l'administration des douanes (afin de faciliter les opérations du commerce) de percevoir les droits d'après les papiers de bord sans qu'on soit obligé de décharger les marchandises pour en constater la valeur et la quantité.\n\nArt. 20. Après l'expiration des deux jours mentionnés dans l'article 18 et avant de procéder au déchargement, chaque bâtiment de commerce acquittera intégralement les droits de phare et d'ancrage fixés par l'article 3. Aucun droit, rétribution ou surcharge ne pourra être exigé sous aucun prétexte.\n\nLors du payement du droit précité, le chef de la douane délivrera au capitaine ou au consignataire un reçu en forme de certificat constatant que les droits de phare et d'ancrage ont été intégralement acquittés et, sur l'exhibition de ce certificat au chef de la douane de tout autre port où il lui conviendrait de se rendre, le capitaine sera dispensé de payer de nouveau ces droits pour son bâtiment, tout navire étranger ne devant être passible qu'une seule fois de tels droits à chacun de ses voyages d'un pays étranger en Annam.\n\n7 Août 1874\n\nen usage dans l'Annam et revêtus d'une estampille et d'un cachet constatant cette conformité. Ces étalons seront la base de toutes les liquidations de droits et de paiements à faire. On y aura recours en cas de contestation sur le poids et la mesure des marchandises, et il sera statué d'après les résultats qu'ils auront donnés.\n\nArt. 24. Toute marchandise introduite ou exportée en contrebande, par des navires ou par des négociants étrangers dans les ports, quelles qu'en soient d'ailleurs sa valeur et sa nature, comme aussi toute denrée prohibée débarquée frauduleusement, sera saisie par l'autorité locale et confisquée. En outre, le gouvernement annamite pourra, si bon lui semble, interdire l'entrée de ses ports au bâtiment surpris en contravention et le contraindre à partir aussitôt après l'apurement de ses comptes. Si quelque navire étranger se couvrait frauduleusement d'un pavillon qui ne serait pas le sien, l'autorité française prendrait les mesures nécessaires pour la répression de cet abus.\n\nLa totalité des sommes provenant de la vente des objets confisqués sera versée à la caisse de la douane. Le produit des amendes pour contravention aux règlements des douanes, dans les ports ouverts, sera également versé à cette caisse.\n\nArt. 25. Son Excellence le Président de la République française pourra faire stationner un bâtiment de guerre dans les ports ouverts à l'empire où sa présence sera jugée nécessaire pour maintenir le bon ordre et la discipline parmi les équipages des navires marchands et à faciliter l'exercice de l'autorité consulaire. Toutes les mesures nécessaires seront prises pour que la présence de ces navires de guerre n'entraîne aucun inconvénient. Les bâtiments de guerre seront assujettis à aucun droit.\n\nArt. 26. Tout bâtiment de guerre français croisant pour la protection du commerce sera reçu en ami et traité comme tel dans tous les ports de l'Annam où il se présentera. Ces bâtiments pourront s'y procurer les divers objets de rechange et de ravitaillement dont ils auront besoin, et s'ils ont fait des avaries, les réparer ou acheter dans ce but les matériaux nécessaires, le tout sans la moindre opposition.\n\nIl en sera de même à l'égard des navires de commerce français ou étrangers qui, par suite d'avaries majeures ou pour toute autre cause, seraient contraints de chercher refuge dans un port quelconque de l'Annam. Mais ces navires devront également n'y séjourner que momentanément et aussitôt que la cause de leur relâche aura cessé, ils devront appareiller sans pouvoir y prolonger leur séjour et sans pouvoir y commercer.\n\nSi quelqu'un de ces bâtiments venait à faire naufrage sur la côte, l'autorité la plus proche, par qui elle en serait informée, porterait sur-le-champ assistance à l'équipage, pourvoirait à ses premiers besoins et prendrait les mesures d'urgence nécessaires pour le sauvetage du navire et de la cargaison.\n\nLe port de Thuan-an, à cause de sa situation dans une rivière qui conduit à la capitale et de sa proximité de cette capitale, fera exception; aucun bâtiment étranger de guerre ou de commerce ne pourra y pénétrer.\n\nToutefois, si un bâtiment de guerre français était chargé d'une mission pressée pour le gouvernement de Hué ou pour le résident français, il pourrait franchir la barre, après en avoir demandé et obtenu l'autorisation expresse du gouvernement annamite.\n\nArt. 27. Les navires de commerce annamites, qui se rendent dans tous les ports de France et des six provinces françaises de la Basse-Cochinchine pour y commercer, y seront traités à point de vue des droits de toute nature, comme la nation la plus favorisée.\n\nArt. 28. Le gouvernement français renouvellera la promesse faite au gouvernement annamite, à l'article 2 du traité du 15 mars, de faire tous ses efforts pour détruire les pirates de lo et de mer, particulièrement dans le voisinage des villes et ports ouverts au commerce européen, de façon à rendre les opérations du commerce aussi sûres que possible.\n\nArt. 29. La présente convention a la même force que le traité du 15 mars 1874, auquel elle restera attachée; elle sera mise en vigueur aussitôt après l'échange des ratifications, qui aura lieu en même temps que celui du traité du 15 mars 1874, si c'est possible, et en tous les cas avant le 15 mars 1875.\n\nEn foi de quoi les plénipotentiaires respectifs l'ont signé et y ont opposé leurs sceaux.\n\nFaits à Saigon, au palais du gouvernement, en deux expéditions sur chaque rogue comparées et conformes entre elles, le trente et un août mil huit cent soixante-quatorze.\n\nSigné KRANTZ, etc., etc.\n\nAfin d'éviter les difficultés dans l'interprétation de quelques passages des nouveaux traités, les plénipotentiaires des deux hautes parties contractantes sont convenus d'ajouter au présent traité un article additionnel qui sera considéré comme en faisant partie intégrante.\n\nArticle additionnel.\n\nIl est entendu que la ville même de Hanoi est ouverte au commerce étranger et qu'il y aura dans cette ville un consul avec son escorte, une douane, et que les Européens pourront y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation aussi bien qu'à Ninh-Hai et Thi-Kai.\n\nSi par la suite on reconnaissait que la douane de Hanoi est inutile et que celle de Ninh-Hai suffit, la douane de Hanoi pourrait être supprimée, mais il y aurait toujours dans cette ville un consul et son escorte, et les Européens continueraient à y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation.\n\nLes terrains nécessaires pour bâtir les habitations des consuls et de leurs escortes seront cédés gratuitement au gouvernement français par le gouvernement annamite.\n\nL'étendue de ces terrains sera dans chacune des villes ou ports ouverts de 5 mâu, mesure annamite (environ 2 hectares et demi). Les terrains nécessaires aux Européens pour élever leurs maisons d'habitation ou leurs magasins seront achetés par eux aux propriétaires; les consuls et les autorités annamites interviendront dans ces achats, de façon à ce que tout se passe avec équité. Les magasins et les habitations des commerçants seront aussi rapprochés que possible de la demeure des consuls.\n\nA Ninh-fat, le consul et son escorte continueront à occuper les forts, tant que cela sera jugé nécessaire pour assurer la police et la sécurité du commerce. Il habitera plus tard sur le terrain de 5 mâu qui lui aura été concédé.\n\nOn respectera les pagodes et les sépultures, et les Européens ne pourront acheter les terrains sur lesquels il existe des habitations qu'avec le consentement des propriétaires et en payant une juste indemnité.\n\nLes commerçants européens payeront l'impôt foncier d'après les tarifs en usage dans la localité où ils habiteront, mais ils ne payeront aucun autre impôt.\n\nFait à Saigon, le trente et un août mil huit cent soixante-quatorze.\n\nSigné KRATZ, etc., etc.\n\nConvention annexe au traité de commerce du 31 août 1874.\n\nLe contre-amiral Krantz, commandant en chef la division navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, gouverneur par intérim et commandant en chef en Cochinchine, commandeur de l'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur, etc., etc., muni des pleins pouvoirs de Son Excellence le Président de la République française;\n\nEt le haut fonctionnaire Nguyen Van Tuong, ministre de la justice, décoré du titre de Ki Ba,\n\nmuni des pleins pouvoirs de Sa Majesté le roi d'Annam, sont convenus d'apporter au traité de commerce, signé le 31 août 1874, les modifications suivantes:\n\nbâtiments chinois appartenant à l'Annam, seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions et aux mêmes droits que celles importées de l'étranger ou exportées à l'étranger sous tout autre pavillon; et que ces droits seront perçus par les mêmes employés et versés dans les mêmes caisses que ceux perçus sur les marchandises importées de l'étranger ou exportées à l'étranger sous les pavillons dits étrangers.\n\nLa présente convention sera rattachée au traité du 31 août 1874, lors de l'échange des actes de ratification et en fera partie intégrante.\n\nEn foi de quoi les plénipotentiaires ont signé aujourd'hui 23 novembre 1874, correspondant au 15 jour du 10 mois de la 27 année de Tu Duc.\n\nSigné Contre-amiral KRANTZ, etc., etc.\n\nAnnexe n° 3146. (Séance du 5 juillet.)\n\nRAPPORT SOMMAIRE fait au nom de la commission d'initiative parlementaire chargée d'examiner la proposition de loi de M. le comte de Doubet, ayant pour objet la création d'un nouveau puissant moyen de trésorerie nationale d'une valeur de milliard de francs, pour le service de nos finances et les besoins du public, par M. Carquet, membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\nNotre honorable collègue M. le comte de Doubet propose de retirer à la Banque de France la faculté d'abaisser la coupure de ses billets au-dessous de 50 francs, et de confier à l'État le droit et l'obligation de faire, avec du papier fiduciaire, le service de la monnaie.\n\nA ces effets, il serait émis, dans le délai de six mois et pour la somme de 1 milliard, des bons du Trésor spéciaux à coupures fixes de 20 francs, transmissibles au porteur et produisant, au moyen de coupons, un intérêt de 3 p. 100.\n\nDeux ans après leur émission, ils seraient remboursables en dix séries annuelles indiquées par le sort. Mais avant d'être admis au remboursement, les bons devraient, dans un délai de trois mois, servir à l'acquisition de rentes perpétuelles.\n\nseraient payables entre les mains des nouveaux porteurs pendant un second trimestre, passé lequel leur circulation serait prohibée.\n\ncombiné premier aperçu de ces ingénieuses combinaisons, votre commission a été tout d'abord, fâcheusement impressionnée par la perspective d'un nouvel emprunt, quel que soit son mode de réalisation, et surtout d'un emprunt dont l'absolue nécessité n'est pas prouvée et dont l'emploi n'est pas défini.\n\nIl lui a paru aussi qu'une proposition de cette nature, permise sans doute à l'initiative parlementaire, était naturellement réservée au ministre des finances, qui ayant la responsabilité de la gestion financière, doit se rendre compte avec précision des besoins actuels et prochains, des ressources de l'impôt et des possibilités de trésorerie. Le rôle des Assemblées est ordinairement d'être les gardiennes sévères du grand livre de la dette publique, et, par une fausse bien naturelle à leur mandat, de résister aux entraînements de certains gouvernements (il n'y a ici aucune allusion à l'époque actuelle) à dépenser sans nécessité dans le présent, au préjudice de l'avenir.\n\nCes considérations préliminaires ne sont point une fin de non-recevoir et ne devaient pas empêcher votre commission d'examiner les propositions inspirées à notre honorable collègue par son patriotisme, dans leurs rapports avec le Trésor, avec la Banque de France, avec l'intérêt général et celui des bons nouveaux.\n\nDes nécessités urgentes et transitoires obligent quelquefois le Trésor à recourir à des moyens exceptionnels; en règle générale, les ressources du Trésor doivent être puisées au sein même de la richesse publique, celle qui existe réellement, et dont l'État peut revendre une part à titre de participation aux frais généraux, de prime d'assurance et de tribut sique. En face de dépenses permanentes et tendant à s'accroître, il faut des recettes certaines, annuelles et croissantes que ne peuvent donner ni les expédients de trésorerie, ni les emprunts, surtout les emprunts à courte échéance et en dehors d'aventureux essais. Elles ne se trouvent que dans les impôts, dans ceux existants et leur plus-value due au développement de l'aisance générale et, au besoin, dans la création d'impôts nouveaux est la voie pénible mais sûre qu'a suivie jusque ce jour l'Assemblée nationale avec une persévérance guidée par son esprit pratique, elle se\n\nLedit paragraphe supprimé est remplacé par le texte suivant:",

        "content_text": "L'OFFICIAL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE.\n\nautres époques de l'histoire contemporaine, Les vrais rentiers entre les mains desquels se trouvent classés les titres de rente, satisfaits de recevoir trimestriellement leurs revenus, peuvent, à la rigueur, supporter la dépréciation, sauf à attendre patiemment le rétablissement des cours. Au contraire, les biens faisant fonction de monnaie se trouvent entre les mains des commerçants, qui transforment journellement leurs capitaux, entre les mains de tous les citoyens, obligés de les livrer, ou de les recevoir pour les besoins courants de la vie et alors de pareilles variations dans leur valeur capitale seraient onéreuses et intolérables.\n\nÀ supposer que la défaveur qui s'attache généralement au papier d'État faisant fonction de monnaie fût une erreur, le sage pourrait la regretter; quant à l'homme politique avisé, il tiendra compte du fait, et, en supputant les chances d'une émission de papiers, il verra dans cette opinion une force de résistance qui doit entrer dans les éléments de son calcul.\n\n7 Août 187$\n\nhausse de rente auraient produit une hausse, les jours suivants amèneraient une baisse, car les nouveaux acheteurs qui auraient pris de la rente bons monétaires, offriraient à leur tour pour rentrer dans leurs frais. Ce serait donc une fluctuation nouvelle due à une institution arbitraire, qui s'ajouterait aux fluctuations normales du marché. On dit quelquefois, et cette expression ne manque pas entièrement de justesse, que la Bourse est le thermomètre du crédit. Faut-il consulter ce thermomètre pendant la température glaciale des ventes forcées? Il pourrait arriver, et cependant cela est bien difficile, presque impossible, que l'offre et la demande dues à l'opération sur les bons monétaires se maintiennent en compensation mais alors les cours ne seraient pas changés, et la hausse des valeurs que l'on voudrait amener par des moyens si habiles, resterait une pure illusion.\n\nAu moment de la désignation de série à rembourser, les bons émis en grand nombre se trouveront comme le sont actuellement la pièce d'or et le billet de banque de 20 fr., répandus sur toute la surface du territoire et disséminés entre les mains du public. Tous les porteurs devront se hâter de faire parvenir leurs bons à la Bourse, pour y acheter de la rente, même ceux qui ne voudraient pas en acheter, ceux qui ne possèdent que de faibles sommes, y seront donc pour tous, démarches et correspondances onéreuses, et ce qui est plus coûteux encore.\n\nEst-il bien vrai d'ailleurs que ce défaut de confiance soit un simple préjugé dépourvu de tout fondement? Les précautions que l'honorable comte de Douhet a prudemment insérées dans son projet de loi, en fixant le chiffre de l'émission et prescrivant des remboursements annuels par séries, ne sont pas des clauses contractuelles ayant pouvoir de lier l'État, dans le genre de celles qui l'obligent envers la Banque de France; la volonté du législateur qui régit et représente le public resterait libre. Dès lors, il est naturel, sinon permis de craindre qu'à un moment donné, soit comme expédient pour équilibrer un budget, soit par entraînement vers une grande et dispendieuse entreprise, soit sous la pression de tristes événements, l'État ne suspende le remboursement de quelques séries, ou même n'émette des séries nouvelles. Ce serait une cause de dépréciation certaine, et mieux aurait valu recourir aux moyens ordinaires, plus coûteux en apparence, moins onéreux en définitive.\n\nEn cas d'urgence, un nouvel emprunt à la Banque, dans le genre de celui contracté pendant la dernière guerre, serait de tout point plus avantageux; car il n'a coûté que le 3 p. 100 d'intérêt et les billets reçus se sont maintenus à leur valeur nominale. Ce cours pair du billet de banque n'est pas une preuve que les bons monétaires jouiraient, en pareille circonstance, de la même faveur; car il est dû au crédit propre de la Banque de France. La Banque a l'avantage d'être une entreprise particulière située et guidée par l'intérêt privé. C'est une société commerciale ayant un but commercial, le bénéfice, et non pas un but humanitaire ou politique à l'instar de l'État. Son administration est plus habile qu'un ministère, toujours composée d'hommes spéciaux et ne changeant pas de systèmes. Elle a d'ailleurs ses ressources propres; indépendamment de sa créance contre l'État, que les partisans du papier d'État doivent considérer comme une première garantie excellente, elle offre encore pour garanties son capital, ses réserves, ses meubles, son encaisse, son portefeuille contenant des signatures de premier choix, ou d'autres valeurs reçues en gage au-dessous de leur valeur, et enfin les bénéfices courants de son industrie. La Banque de France jouit donc du crédit que les commerçants et le public accordent naturellement à l'homme solide qui depuis longtemps gère bien ses affaires, au mieux de ses intérêts et à la satisfaction de ses clients. Ceci explique suffisamment pourquoi, certains moments difficiles, le cours du billet de banque peut se maintenir, tandis que celui du papier d'État fléchit.\n\nUn dernier point sur lequel le projet à examiner paraît prêter à la critique, c'est la disposition d'après laquelle les bons de chaque série indiqués par le sort pour être retirés de la circulation, devraient, dans un délai de trois mois, servir à l'acquisition de rentes sur l'État et être ensuite présentés au remboursement dans un autre délai péremptoire de trois mois. Cette combinaison aurait pour but de faire hausser le cours de la rente, et d'imprimer le même élan à celui des autres valeurs de Bourse.\n\nMais cela se ferait dans de mauvaises conditions, parce qu'il sera commandé par la loi, et vendu dans des conditions aussi mauvaises, parce qu'elle sera imposée par le besoin. D'ailleurs il ne manquera pas de spéculateurs avisés sachant exploiter à leur profit ce nouveau genre d'opérations. Non-seulement les intérêts par mois du semestre, mais encore une partie du capital, seront ainsi absorbés; en sorte que le porteur sera lésé, et le bon sera déprécié au moment même où il devrait atteindre sa plus haute valeur, à l'approche du remboursement.\n\nMalgré toutes ces objections faites au projet de notre honorable collègue, on peut encore se demander si le bon de 20 fr. portant intérêt de 3 p. 100, ne serait pas une forme utile d'une partie de la dette réservée aux bons du Trésor. Le sou par mois, qui s'applique si bien à la coupure de 20 fr., serait même plus pratique, à ce point de vue que le centime par jour proposé autrefois par M. le publiciste. Pour que la chose fût admise, il faudrait renoncer au cours forcé, à l'acceptation obligatoire de la rente, à la prescription trop brève de trois mois et surtout à l'émission colossale de 1 milliard. Un commencement très-modeste, sans supprimer le bon actuel qui répond à un besoin spécial, serait peut-être le seul moyen d'introduire l'innovation dans la pratique et de familiariser le public avec le nouveau titre. Mais il appartient à l'auteur du projet de le réduire à ces minimes proportions et en saisir la commission du budget par un amendement à l'article 23 de la loi de finances. Votre commission ne pouvait entrer dans cette voie; cela eût été trop amoindrir et dénaturer le vaste plan au moyen duquel notre honorable collègue a voulu doter le pays d'un puissant moyen de crédit et de circulation.\n\nL'ensemble de son projet paraît présenter de tels inconvénients et des périls si graves, que votre commission se croit obligée de conclure contre la prise en considération.\n\nAnnexe p. 3151.\n\n(Séance du juillet 1875.)\n\nRAPPORT fait au nom de la commission du budget de 1873 (1), chargée d'examiner le projet de loi ayant pour objet d'autoriser le ministre des travaux publics à accepter, au nom de l'État, les offres faites par les départements\n\n(1) Cette commission est composée de MM.

        "content_text": "ARTICLE III.\n\nLes trois provinces complètes de Bien-Hoa, de Gia-Dinh et de Dinh-Tuong (Mitto), ainsi que l'Ile de Pulo-Condor, sont cédées entièrement par ce Traité en toute souveraineté à Sa Majesté l'Empereur des Français.\n\nEn outre, les commerçants Français pourront librement commercer et circuler sur des bâtiments, quels qu'ils soient, dans le grand fleuve du Cambodge et dans tous les bras de ce fleuve; il en sera de même pour les bâtiments de guerre Français envoyés en surveillance dans ce même fleuve ou dans ses affluents.\n\nARTICLE IV.\n\nLa paix étant faite, si une nation étrangère voulait, soit en usant de provocation, soit par un Traité, se faire céder une partie du territoire Annamite, le Roi d'Annam préviendra par un envoyé l'Empereur des Français, afin de lui soumettre le cas qui se présente, en laissant à l'Empereur pleine liberté de venir en aide ou non au Royaume d'Annam; mais si, dans le dit Traité avec la nation étrangère, il est question de cession de territoire, cette cession ne pourra être sanctionnée qu'avec le consentement de l'Empereur des Français.\n\nARTICLE V.\n\nLes sujets de l'Empire de France et du Royaume d'Espagne pourront librement commercer dans les trois ports de Tourane, de Balat, et de Quang-An.\n\nLes sujets Annamites pourront également librement commercer dans les ports de France et d'Espagne, en se conformant toutefois à la règle des droits établis.\n\nSi un pays étranger fait du commerce avec le Royaume d'Annam, les sujets de ce pays étranger ne pourront pas jouir d'une protection plus grande que ceux de France ou d'Espagne, et si ce dit pays étranger obtient un avantage dans le Royaume d'Annam, ce ne pourra jamais être un avantage plus considérable que ceux accordés à la France ou à l'Espagne.\n\nARTICLE VI.\n\nLa paix étant faite, s'il y a à traiter quelque affaire importante, les trois Souverains pourront envoyer des représentants pour traiter ces affaires dans une des trois capitales.\n\nSi, sans affaire importante, l'un des trois Souverains désirait envoyer des félicitations aux autres, il pourra également envoyer un représentant. Le bâtiment de l'Envoyé Français ou Espagnol mouillera dans le port de Tourane, et l'Envoyé ira de là à Hué par terre, où il sera reçu par le Roi d'Annam.\n\nARTICLE VII.\n\nLa paix étant faite, l'inimitié disparaît entièrement; c'est pourquoi l'Empereur des Français accorde une amnistie générale aux sujets, soit militaires, soit civils, du Royaume d'Annam, compromis dans la guerre, et leurs propriétés séquestrées leur seront rendues.\n\nLe Roi d'Annam accorde également une amnistie générale à ceux de ses sujets qui se sont soumis à l'autorité Française, et son amnistie s'étend sur eux et sur leurs familles.\n\nARTICLE VIII.\n\nLe Roi d'Annam devra payer à titre d'indemnité, dans un laps de dix ans la somme de 4,000,000 dollars. 400,000 dollars seront, en conséquence, remis chaque année au Représentant de l'Empereur des Français à Saigon. Cette somme est destinée à indemniser la France et l'Espagne de leurs dépenses de guerre. Les 100,000 ligatures déjà payées seront déduites de cette somme. Le Royaume d'Annam n'ayant pas de dollars, le dollar sera représenté par une valeur de soixante et douze centièmes de taël.\n\nARTICLE IX.\n\nSi quelque brigand, pirate ou fauteur de troubles, Annamite, commet quelque brigandage ou désordre sur le territoire Français, ou si quelque sujet Européen, coupable de quelque délit, s'enfuit sur le territoire Annamite, aussitôt que l'autorité Française aura donné connaissance du fait à l'autorité Annamite, celle-ci devra faire ses efforts pour s'emparer du coupable, afin de le livrer à l'autorité Française.\n\n3\n\nIl en sera de même en ce qui concerne les brigands, pirates ou fauteurs de troubles Annamites qui, après s'être rendus coupables de délits, s'enfuiraient sur le territoire Français.\n\nARTICLE X.\n\nLes habitants des trois provinces de Vinh-Long, d'An-Gian et de Ha-Tien pourront librement commercer dans les trois provinces Françaises, en se soumettant aux droits en vigueur; mais les convois de troupes, d'armes, de munitions ou de vivres entre les trois susdites provinces devront se faire exclusivement par mer.\n\npar\n\n Cependant l'Empereur des Français permet à ces convois d'entrer dans le Cambodge par la passe de Mitto dite Cua-Tieû, à la condition toutefois que les autorités Annamites en préviendront à l'avance le Représentant de l'Empereur, qui leur fera délivrer un laissez-passer. Si cette formalité était négligée, et qu'un convoi pareil entrât sans un permis, le dit convoi, et ce qui le compose, sera de bonne prise, et les objets saisis seront détruits.\n\nARTICLE XI.\n\nLa citadelle de Vinh-Long sera gardée jusqu'à nouvel ordre par les troupes Françaises, sans empêcher pourtant en aucune façon l'action des mandarins Annamites. Cette citadelle sera rendue au Roi d'Annam aussitôt qu'il aura mis fin à la rébellion qui existe aujourd'hui par ses ordres dans les provinces de Gia-Dinh et de Dinh-Tuong, et lorsque les chefs de ces rébellions seront partis et le pays tranquille et soumis comme il convient à un pays en paix.\n\nARTICLE XII.\n\nCe Traité étant conclu entre les trois nations, et les Ministres Plénipotentiaires des dites trois nations l'ayant signé et revêtu de leurs sceaux, ils en rendront compte, chacun à son Souverain; et, à partir d'aujourd'hui, jour de la signature, dans l'intervalle d'un an, les trois Souverains ayant examiné et ratifié le dit Traité, l'échange des ratifications aura lieu dans la capitale du Royaume d'Annam,\n\nEn foi de quoi, les Plénipotentiaires respectifs susnommés ont signé le présent Traité et y ont apposé leurs cachets.\n\nA. Saigon, le 5 Juin, 1862.\n\nTu-Duc, 15me année, 5me mois, 9me jour.\n\n(L.S.) (L.S.)\n\nBONARD,\n\nCARLOS PALANCA-GUTIERRES.\n\n(Cachet et Signatures des Plénipotentiaires Annamites.)\n\nArt. 2.

Nous sommes done venus par ordre de l'Amiral, pour vous tirer de l'état d'isolement où vous végétiez; nous n'avons pas l'intention de changer vos usages ou de nous emparer de vos biens, nous vous considérons comme des frères, et nous appliquerons toutes nos forces à faire votre bonheur.\n\nPour ce qui concerne les commerçants, soit dans l'intérieur du royaume, soit à l'étranger, ils pourront être tranquilles et n'auront plus à craindre d'être molestés, car il y aura un Traité de Paix qui nous engagera réciproquement.

Le mois dernier je fus envoyé par l'Amiral ici au Tongking pour me concerter avec les Mandarins, et ouvrir un débouché au commerce de ce pays, c'était d'ailleurs l'intention du Roi lui-même. Notre unique but en nous rendant à Hanoi était donc de nous entendre avec les Mandarins, et de prendre soin des intérêts du peuple. Mais le grand Mandarin Nguyen Tri-phuong et les autres Mandarins de la province firent traîner les choses en longueur et nous tendirent toutes sortes d'embûches et des pièges pour amener notre ruine. Poussés à bout nous fûmes obligés de nous emparer de la citadelle. Après que la tranquillité eut été rétablie, j'avais l'intention de me rendre ici à Nam-dinlo pour voir les Mandarins de la province, et m'entendre avec eux au sujet de la liberté du commerce et de l'extermination des pirates et bandits de toute sorte; alors les populations auraient pu jouir de la paix. Mais lorsque nous sommes passés devant les forts de Phu-sa, de Thuy, et de Thanh Thuong, les soldats de ces forts ont, je ne sais pour quel motif, tenté de nous arrêter, ce qui nous a forcé à nous battre. Le désastre qui a suivi retombe donc tout entier sur les Mandarins de Nam-dinlo, qui ont été cause que nous nous sommes emparés de la citadelle. Nous vous l'expliquons pour vous tranquilliser.\n\nNous ordonnons à tous les notables Annamites et commerçants Chinois qui sont dans la ville, se rendre à la citadelle aujourd'hui à midi pour recevoir nos ordres; nous leur assurons qu'ils n'ont rien à craindre. Nous donnons trois jours à tous les Sous-Préfets (\"Quan phu\") et baillés (\"Quan huyen\") de la province pour faire leur soumission ou pour donner leur démission par la livraison de leur sceau; si non, nous les considérons comme ennemis, et les traiterons comme tels. Les Chefs et sous-Chefs de Canton (\"Cartong, photang\") et les Maires (\"Ly truong\") continueront à administrer en paix jusqu'à ce que nous leur ayons distribué de nouveaux cachets (sceaux), mais si quelqu'un d'entre eux se permet de vexer le peuple comme autrefois, nous le jugerons en conseil de guerre.\n\nQue chacun reste tranquille chez soi, s'il y a des rassemblements, si des malfaiteurs troublent la paix publique, soit sur terre soit sur eau, nous les ferons saisir et fusiller sur le champ.\n\nNous donnons trois jours aux bandes armées pour venir livrer leurs armes; ceux qui ne l'auront pas fait passeront en conseil de guerre. Que chacun attache la plus grande importance à nos ordres et observe nos prescriptions, car nous punirons les coupables d'une manière exemplaire, et personne ne pourra se plaindre de n'avoir pas été averti. Telle est notre Proclamation.\n\n21\n\nInclosure 7.\n\nConvention between France and Annam, signed February 6, 1874.\n\nLE Grand Mandarin du noble Royaume d'Annam, Assesseur au Ministère des Cultes, Nguyen Vun-tuong, Second Ambassadeur Plénipotentiaire délégué spécialement pour terminer les affaires du Tongking au nom de l'Annam, d'une part;\n\nEt le Grand Mandarin du noble Royaume de France Philastre, Inspecteur des Affaires Indigènes en Cochin-Chine Français, envoyé par le Gouverneur, avec pleins pouvoirs pour arranger les affaires au Tongking au nom de son Gouvernement, d'autre part;\n\nAprès s'être communiqué leurs pouvoirs et en avoir constaté la valeur, ont arrêté les Articles suivants :-\n\nARTICLE I.\n\nIl n'existe plus de sujet de discussion entre les deux Royaumes, qui se sont réconciliés, c'est pourquoi les grands Mandarins surnommés s'engagent à observer ce qui suit.\n\nARTICLE II.\n\nLes soldats Français évacueront la citadelle de Hanoi, la remettront au pouvoir des Mandarins Annamites et se retireront à Cua-cam, dans le fort de Haiphong. Les Mandarins Annamites prépareront donc de suite un local pour que la garnison Française puisse s'y établir provisoirement, jusqu'à ce que l'on ait signé le Traité définitif. Les Français s'établissent à Haiphong afin de protéger le Royaume Annamite contre ceux qui voudraient pénétrer dans l'intérieur du pays contraire aux lois du Royaume, et pour forcer les navires du certain Dupuis à demeurer au port jusqu'à la conclusion du Traité au cas qu'il y ait une stipulation autorisant les Européens à venir faire le commerce au Tongking.\n\nARTICLE III.\n\nLe jour où les soldats Français évacueront la citadelle celle-ci sera livrée avec tous les effets et munitions qui s'y trouveront à cette époque; en outre tout l'argent que l'on s'est procuré dans les Provinces de Haidzong, Nam dinlo, Ninlo binlo, et Hanoi sera rendu aux Mandarins Annamites, qui en donneront reçu.\n\nARTICLE IV.\n\nLa garnison Française évacuera la citadelle et la remettra aux autorités Annamites, dès que le local de Haiphong sera prêt. Lorsque les Mandarins auront donné avis officiellement que tout est prêt on ne pourra différer l'évacuation au delà de six jours.\n\nARTICLE V.\n\nLe 29 de la 11° Lune (17th January), le noble Souverain du Royaume d'Annam a publié un édit accordant grâce à tous ceux qui ont pris le parti de la France, c'est pourquoi les Mandarins ne devront pas poursuivre, mais les protéger contre ceux qui voudraient les nuire. Quant aux Mandarins nommés par les Français ils seront maintenus en place s'ils sont reconnus capables, si non ils seront renvoyés chez eux, car s'ils remplissent mal leur charge ce serait au détriment du Royaume; car les officiers Français ont plusieurs fois répété dans leurs proclamations que s'ils administraient les provinces c'étaient seulement en l'absence des Mandarins légitimes, et dans l'intérêt du Gouvernement Annamite. Quand nous aurons fait savoir partout que les deux Royaumes ont conclu la paix et qu'il faut cesser toutes hostilités, si quelqu'un ne se soumet pas, et commet des injustices, par exemple en incendiant des villages, le Gouvernement Annamite devra réprimer et punir les coupables; de plus, ceux qui auront souffert des dommages pourront porter plainte, et s'ils ont des preuves, les Mandarins devront leur faire rendre justice.\n\nARTICLE VI.\n\nEn attendant que les Ambassadeurs de la noble Cour d'Annam et l'Amiral Gouverneur de la Cochin-Chine se soient entendus ensemble pour la conclusion du Traité, le Gouvernement Annamite ne laissera dans la citadelle de Hanoi qu'une garnison suffisante pour la garde et le service militaire. Il ne devra pas entasser des\n\n[608]\n\nG\n\n236",

Quand le Résident Français à Hanoi voudra visiter ces sépultures on enverra quelqu'un à sa place, il devra en informer auparavant les Mandarins, qui donneront l'autorisation. Les Mandarins laisseront les corps au même endroit jusqu'à ce qu'ils se soient entendus avec le Résident pour trouver un autre lieu en dehors de la citadelle, ce qui aura lieu dans le courant d'un mois; ils permettront alors d'enlever les corps, et le Résident, ou celui qu'il aura désigné, se rendra à la citadelle pour les faire exhumer et transporter au lieu convenu.\n\nARTICLE IX.\n\nLe Gouvernement Annamite concédera un terrain sur le bord du fleuve pour construire une habitation au Résident Français et aux soldats de son escorte; ce terrain sera près du lieu où, après la conclusion du Traité, on permettra aux commerçants Français de s'établir. La désignation de ce terrain, et la construction définitive de l'habitation du Résident, sont réservées à la décision du Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, qui s'entendra par la suite à ce sujet avec les Ambassadeurs Annamites.\n\nARTICLE X.\n\nEn attendant que l'on ait construit une maison pour le Résident et son escorte au dehors de la citadelle, sur le bord du fleuve, et parce qu'il n'y a pas d'autre endroit, le Gouvernement Annamite permettra au Résident d'habiter temporairement avec un escorte de quarante hommes dans le Palais du Grand Mandarin de la Justice. Quand le calme sera établi, si les maisons ne sont pas terminées, le Résident quittera la citadelle avec son escorte et ira occuper la maison de Dupuis, et toutes les maisons voisines que les Chinois lui avaient louées.\n\nARTICLE XI.\n\nLe Gouvernement Annamite veillera à la sûreté du Résident et de son escorte, comme il convient à une grande nation; s'il y a lieu de craindre pour sa sécurité les Mandarins de Hanoi devront le prévenir et s'entendre avec lui pour conjurer le danger, soit en lui demandant des troupes de renfort, soit en lui donnant asile dans l'intérieur de la citadelle.\n\nARTICLE XII.\n\nTous les Articles que nous avons arrêtés de concert lors de la reddition des provinces de Ninh-binh, Haizong, Nam-dinh, et Hanoi, et qui ne sont pas contraires aux dispositions de cette Convention, seront observés.\n\nARTICLE XIII.\n\nLe Gouvernement Annamite a maintenant 300 soldats campés en dehors de la ville de Hanoi, se devra se contenter de ce chiffre sans l'augmenter; à la nouvelle que les Français évacuent la citadelle, les soldats Annamites, qui devront ensuite en former garnison, s'approcheront de la citadelle à la distance de quatre heures de marche et attendront là le moment d'entrer.\n\nARTICLE XIV.\n\nLe sieur Dupuis, ainsi que les Français et les Chinois qui l'accompagnent, quitteront la ville de Hanoi avant les troupes Françaises, et se rendront à Haiphong, conduits par un officier Français; ils attendront que le fleuve soit ouvert au commerce.\n\n23\n\nLe navire de Dupuis, appelé \"Hong-kiang,\" et qui cale trop d'eau pour descendre le fleuve, demeurera provisoirement à Hanoi sous la garde du Résident.\n\nSi Dupuis veut quitter Tongking et se rendre au Yünnan en remontant le fleuve par Hung-hoa il priera le Résident de demander pour lui l'autorisation aux Mandarins de Hanoi déclarant au préalable le nombre de ses navires et des personnes qui les montent.\n\nCes gens, tant Européens que Chinois, ne devront pas être plus de soixante-cinq sans compter les Annamites qui seraient employés à ramer; le nombre des bateaux ne pourra pas dépasser dix. Dans ces conditions, les Mandarins de Hanoi délivreront un passeport pour le pays soumis à l'Annam; dans les lieux occupés par les rebelles, où il n'y a pas de troupes Annamites, Dupuis se tirera de l'affaire comme il pourra. Il n'aura de munitions de guerre que pour défense personnelle et ne devra pas en vendre ou en donner à qui que ce soit sur le territoire Annamite. La quantité de ces munitions sera fixée par le Résident de concert avec les Mandarins de Hanoi; une fois au Yunnan, les marchandises apportées par Dupuis ne reviendront plus au Tongking avant l'ouverture du fleuve au commerce.\n\nSi au lieu d'aller au Yünnan il se fixait en quelque endroit appartenant au Royaume Annamite, sans en avoir l'autorisation, les Français s'engagent à aller l'en chasser, et si c'est nécessaire, ils requerront le Gouvernement Annamite, qui de son côté enverra aussi des soldats.\n\n26e année de Tu-Duc, 21e jour de la 12e Lune (6 Février, 1874).\n\nInclosure 8.\n\nPolitical Treaty concluded between France and Annam, March 15, 1874.\n\n[See Foreign Office Confidential Paper No. 2697.]\n\nInclosure 9.\n\nCommercial Treaty concluded between France and Annam, August 31, 1874.\n\n[See Foreign Office Confidential Paper No. 2698.]\n\n237",

Arrivé au Yan-Nan, il y recut le meilleur accueil des mandarins, auxquels il fit voir sans peine dans l'ouverture du fleuve Rouge on moyen de remédier à la mauvaise situation que la guerre civile, d'une part, le défaut de débouchés, de Fautre, avaient faito à leur province. Le Yun-Não est resté jusqu'ici un pays pauvre, I produit cependant assez de vivres pour la nourriture de ses habi- tants, et ses vallées sont très-fertiles; mais, pour les articles industriels, tels que les tissus et les vêtements, il dépend tout à fait des provinces voisines, car on n'y récolte, pour ainsi dire, ni coton ni soie, mais, en échange des marchan- dises qu'il demande, Je Yan-Nan peut offrir, indépendaument de ses thés de qualité supérieure, les riches produits de son sous-sol, For, l'argent, le fer, le cuivre, le plomb, l'étain, le zinc, le mercure, la houille. Toutes ces richesses demeurent par malheur à peu près inexploitées, faute de moyens d'écoulement, les transports par la Chine elle-même étant d'une grande difficulté et d'une lenteur extrême. Le fleuve du Tong-Kin une fois ouvert à une navigation libre et régul- lière, c'est par centaines de millions qu'il faudrait chiffrer la valeur des produits qui prendraient cette voie, pour pénétrer en Chine ou pour en descendre à la mer. \n\nLe moment paraissait d'ailleurs mal choisi pour une tentative de ce genre: la guerre civile était dans toute sa force, et on ne parlait de rien moins que d'abandonner la province aux musulmans. La commission du Mé-Kong y avait même couru un grand danger sans le savoir, celti d'être emprisonnée dans la ville d'Yun-Nän-Sèn, capitale da pasy, qu'elle venait à peine de quitter lorsque les insurgés l'investirent. M. Dupuis prit donc le parti de retourner à Han- Kéou et d'y attendre une heure plus propice, et pour la hater en tant qu'il dépendait de lui, il expédia aux troupes imperiales une grande quantité d'armes perfectionnées, parmi lesquelles des canons rayés de fabrique française, qu'accompagnaient des Européens chargés d'en enseigner lé maniement aux Chinois. Mais, en 1870, voyant que la guerre menaçait de s'éterniser, il n'y tint plus et gagna de nouveau le Yun-Nau par la voie du Yang Tse-Kiang, bien décidé cette fois à pousser à tout hasard jusqu'au fleuve Rouge. \n\nNotre compatriote y retrouva les autorités dans les mêmes bonnes dispositions où il les avait laissées: elles lui don- nèrent des lettres de recommandation pour divers chels qu'il devait rencontrer en chemin, et, se dirigeant au sud-ouest, il se mit en route. A Tong-keou, le maréchal Ma, qui assiégeait cette ville, lui donna une escorte de treute hommes commandée par un mandarin militaire, auquel il adjoignit un inandarin civil, Arrivée à Mout-Ze, cette escorte refusa de le suivre plus loin, mais les auto rités lui en fournirent une seconde et il s'avanca resold- ment vers la haute vallée du Song-Koi, malgré les bruits peu encourageants qui circulaient sur les tribus indépen- dantes de cette vallée. Mais, près de franchir les bautes crêtes qui l'en séparaient, il fut de nouveau délaissé par son escorte, pen désireuse de s'engager dans une région que les habitants des plateaux tiennent pour être très-insa- lubre, et ce ne fut pas sans beaucoup de dangers, de ta- tigues et de privations de toutes sortes que le couragenx voyageur atteignit le Hong-Kiang, ou fleuve Rouge, nom que la grande artère fluviale du Tong-Kin porte en Chine ou sur le territoire des tribos indépendantes, et qu'il doit à la couleur de ses eaux. Il le descendit jusqu'à Kouen-Ce, premier poste amamite, et comme on ne l'aurait pas laissé le franchir, il dat borner là son exploration. Aussi bien pouvait-il considérer son but principal comme atteint: il avait, en effet, acquis la certitude qu'à partir du point où il était arrivé, le fleuve ne présentait pas d'obstacles à la navigation jusqu'à la mer. La voie nouvelle présentait sur celle de Bhâm l'avantage de pouvoir être utilisée de suite sans aucuns travaux; elle répondait aux besoins commer- ciaux, non-seulement des provinces chinoises de Yun-Nan, de Sze-Tchuen, de Kouci-Tcheou, de Kouang-Si, mais -encore da Tibet, du Laos, du Tong-Kin, et ouvrait de belles perspectives au commerce du monde entier, mais surtout à celui de la France. \n\nDe retour au fun-Nâu, l'intrépide explorateur y reçut des mandarins le meilleur accueil, et tous lui manifestèrent un vif désir de voir le fleuve Rouge s'ouvrir au commerce de leur province. Le royaume d'Angam étant tributaire du Céleste-Empire, les Chinois avaient déjà le privilége de commercer avec le Tong-Kin, et il semblait aux autorités de Yun-Nâu qu'elles étaient d'autant plus fondées à réclamer la libre circulation sur le Song-Koi, que ce cours d'eau y a \n\nses sources et sa vallée supérieure. Elles donnèrent done à M. Dupuis des pouvoirs en règle qui lui permettaient d'organiser une expédition, et grâce auxquels il espérait ve- nie à bout de sa tâche sans trop de peine. Il fallait bien envisager cependant l'hypothèse où les Annamites lui re- fuseraient obstinément un libre passage et où il faudrait recourir à la force pour se le frayer. Mais cetto perspective laissait M. Dupuis sans grande inquietude. Les renseigne- ments qu'il avait recueillis durant ses excursions parmi les tribus sauvages du Tong-Kin nord occidental ne lui avaient pas communiqué une haute idée du courage des Annamites. Voyez, lui avait dit un des chefs montagnards, voyez mes » homines; ils n'ont que des lances, et cependant une > centaine d'eux font fuir un millier d'Annamites. Ils fuient » à toutes jambes et ce n'est qu'en embuscade qu'il offrent quelque résistance. » Ce dire avait bien paru à M. Da- puis quelque peu vantard; mais il avait eu depuis l'occa sion de le contrôler, et il en avait reconnu toute l'exacti- lude. \n\nAvant de se lancer dans son entreprise, il jugea opportun de se rendre en France, et c'est là que nous le retrouvons eu 1872. Il avoue sans détour que les personnes auxquelles il s'ouvrit de ses projets lui tinrent un langage tres-découra- geant. Elles lui dépeignaient avec force la mauvaise foi et la cruauté bien connues des mandarins annamites; elles lui représentaient le Tong-Kin en proie à la guerre civile, le pays très-montagneux, le fleuve très-encaissé et la facilité avec laquelle on pouvait en intercepter la navigation, ainsi que les Chinois l'avaient fait jadis pour le Pei-Ho; elles lui ontraient enfin son einbouchure occupée par des troupes de pirates, bien décidés à n'y laisser pénétrer personne. Le propre des convictions robustes est d'avoir réponse à tout, et aucune objection n'était capable de refroidir l'ar- deur de M. Dupuis, son enthousiasme même : « Voyez, » répliquait-il, ce que les Anglais savent faire dans des \n\n• circonstances moins favorables que les miennes; il fant » de la persévérance, un peu d'énergie, et c'est tout. Il était très-désireux néanmoins de se concilier l'appui, au moins moral, de son pays; et c'est à cette fin qu'il fit des dé- marchies près du ministère de la marine. L'accneil qu'il en reçut fat, il le reconnait, des plus bienveillants; mais on ne lui cacha point que, dans les circonstances actuelles, la France ne pouvait faire que des veux pour son succes. On ferait officicusement pour lui tout ce qu'on pourrait, mais sans s'engager. C'était à lui de se frayer un passage à sos risques et périls, et si un sort funeste devait mal- heureusement lui échoir, oa n'interviendrait pas pour venger sa mort ou celle de ses compagnons. \n\nLe 14 avril 1872, M. Dupuis quittait la France, ot, le 15 mai suivant, il prenait terre à Saigon, où le général d'Arbaud, gouverneur par intérim, le recut fort bien, et d'où il repartit bientôt pour se rendre à Shang-Hai et y procéder aux derniers préparatifs de son expédition. Revenu à Saigon, le 12 septembre, il y anodifia ses in- tentions premières qui avaient été d'abord de se faire con- duire à Hae, capitale de l'Annam, sous la protection du pavillon français, et il prit le parti de gagner directement avec ses gens, le goile du Tong-Kin. Il fut toutefois con- venu entre lui et le gouverneur qu'un vapeur francais croiserait, à tout événement, dans les parages de Hai-Phong, où l'expédition devait rallier. Elle se composait de deux canonnières à vapeur, d'une chaloupe à vapeur, d'une grande jonque, auxquelles un bateau à roues s'adjoignit plus tard, et que montaient 150 hommes, dont 25 Européens et le restant Malais, Chinois, Manillais. Pour l'équiper et pour Farmer, M. Dupuis avait dù engager toute sa fortune et faire, à part une certaine somme qui fut versée entre ses mains par les autorités de Yun-tan, Lous les premiers frais de l'entreprise. Mais une convention en règle lui as surait 10,000 piculs d'étain, calculés à forfait sur le picd de 100 francs chacun; il devait, en outre, vendre pour le compte des mandarins et à valoir sur ses propres dépenses, 12,000 autres piculs de cuivre; on lui promettait enfin une large part dans l'exploitation des mines; le tout, en somme, constituant des conditions tris-avantageuses, comme il en convient lui-même. \n\nLe 8 novembre 1872, l'expédition mouillait près de llaï- Phong, et y trouvait l'aviso le Bourayne, commandant Senez, que le général d'Arbaud, lidèle à sa promesse, avait dépêché Pour lui faciliter l'entrée du Song-Koi. Le delta de ce fleuve est uu immense dépôt d'alluvions formées par les détritus qu'il entraîne à l'époque de ses hautes eaux, et le littoral est si bas qu'il est très-difficile d'en reconnaître les bouches, outre que de nombreux hauts-fonds rendent cette opéra- tion périlleuse. M. Dupuis l'éprouva lui-même, ca essayant de pénétrer tour à tour par celles de ces bouches qui por- \n\n7001 \n\n315",

Ce fut alors qu'il eut à bord du Bourayne une entrevue avec le mandarin Ly, gouverneur des trois provinces maritimes du Tong-Kin, entrevue où il fut décidé qu'on demanderait à Hué la permission de le laisser circuler et qu'il ne passerait pas outre avant une quinzaine. Sur ces entrefaites, le Bourayne étant reparti, les autorités anamites avisèrent notre compatriote que la réponse de Hué se ferait attendre trois mois, et invitèrent à aller l'attendre à Hong-Kong, tandis qu'elles faisaient le vide autour de l'expédition et défendaient, sous peine de mort, de lui fournir des vivres.\n\nLe délai de quinze jours expiré, M. Dupuis se mit en mesure de pénétrer au Tong-Kin, par la voie du fleuve Thaï-Binh, qu'il avait des raisons de croire en communication avec le Song-Koi. Il remonta toutefois le premier de ces cours d'eau jusqu'au point où il cesse d'être navigable, sans rien découvrir de semblable; mais, en le redescendant, il rencontra le canal du même nom qui se soude au Song-Koi et s'y engagea pour remonter ensuite le Song-Koi lui-même jusqu'à Ha-Noi. Son arrivée en cette ville, qui eut lieu le 22 décembre 1872, causa une grande et désagréable sensation parmi les autorités annamites: ils craignirent qu'elle ne ravivât chez les Tongkinois des espérances qu'ils n'ont cessé de nourrir. C'est en 1802 qu'ils sont devenus les sujets de l'Annam, après une guerre de quinze années, et ils ont montré, en diverses circonstances, qu'ils secoueraient volontiers ce joug. Un laps de soixante-quinze ans n'a point suffi, tant s'en faut, à fondre les deux peuples en un seul; la race conquérante s'est réservé le monopole de tous les emplois publics et de toutes les fonctions lucratives; elle exploite les Tongkinois et les rançonne à outrance; elle les tient dans une abjecte servitude, et s'ils ont dû souffrir tout cela jusqu'ici, c'est qu'ils n'ont pu l'empêcher. Mais une sourde colère les anime, et il ne faudrait qu'une occasion pour la faire éclater au grand jour.\n\nAussi les mandarins d'Ha-Noi s'efforcèrent-ils de multiplier les obstacles devant l'expédition: ils cherchèrent chicane à M. Dupuis sur la validité de ses pouvoirs, sous le prétexte qu'ils n'émanaient point du vice-roi de Canton, et tentèrent d'affamer ses équipages, tandis qu'ils séquestraient toutes les barques du pays. Mais la bienveillance latente des Tongkinois rendit cette double précaution inutile: ils lui apportaient nuitamment des vivres et lui indiquaient les endroits où les barques étaient cachées. Il put, de la sorte, s'en procurer un certain nombre et charger une partie de son matériel; puis, prenant avec lui quelques-uns des siens et laissant le gros de son expédition à Ha-Noi, sous les ordres d'un compatriote, M. Millot, il s'engageait dans le haut fleuve et arrivait à Yün-Nân-Sen le 16 mars 1873. La prise de Tali-fou venait de porter le dernier coup à l'insurrection musulmane, et le maréchal Ma, au moment de licencier son armée, lui offrit un corps de 10,000 hommes. C'était plus qu'il n'en fallait pour conquérir le Tong-Kin; mais c'était aussi le livrer à la Chine, et l'intérêt de la France dominait M. Dupuis. Il se contenta donc d'accepter 150 hommes et reprit avec eux et une huitaine de barques le chemin de Ha-Noï.\n\nPendant son absence, le vice-roi de Canton avait écrit à la cour de Hué pour l'accréditer près du maréchal Nguyen, gouverneur général du Tong-Kin et donner l'ordre de le laisser circuler librement sur le fleuve Rouge. Seulement, les Annamites n'étaient guère disposés à suivre cette conduite. Occupation du haut fleuve, pour intercepter ses communications avec le Yün-Nan, empoisonnement des eaux potables, tentatives d'incendie, attaques à main armée, l'expédition eut tout à souffrir. Ce fut une lutte incessante, qui tourna toujours à l'avantage de M. Dupuis et se termina par le cantonnement des Annamites dans la citadelle, avec défense de paraître dans la ville commerciale sous peine d'emprisonnement. Désormais tout paraissait fini. M. Dupuis avait découvert un emplacement des plus favorables à l'établissement d'un port; un poste de 150 hommes y avait été installé, et les indigènes commençaient à se grouper autour de leur campement. Les Annamites, résignés, parlaient de négocier; le gouverneur de la Cochinchine française se décidait à intervenir, et on annonçait l'arrivée d'un corps expéditionnaire sous les ordres du lieutenant de vaisseau Francis Garnier.\n\nJamais, a dit plus tard M. Dupuis, jamais je n'éprouvai de joie plus grande»; mais cette joie devait être de courte durée et se convertir en une série de déboires. Après la prise d'assaut de la citadelle d'Ha-Noï et la mort de Garnier, enseveli, pour ainsi dire, dans son triomphe, des négociations s'étaient engagées avec la cour de Hué\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\npour qu'elle reconnût en droit la suzeraineté que nous exercions de fait sur les six provinces détachées de l'Annam, qui forment notre colonie cochinchinoise. Dès leur début, et en vertu d'une convention spéciale avec le gouvernement annamite, M. Dupuis se vit expulsé du Tong-Kin, et son escorte fut ramenée à Hai-Phong, où l'amiral Dupré, alors gouverneur de notre possession, avait dû s'engager à la garder prisonnière jusqu'à la ratification par les deux parties contractantes du traité intervenu le 13 mars 1874. Par ce traité, la France relevait l'Annam de l'indemnité de guerre de 5,500,000 francs qu'il lui restait à devoir et lui faisait don, en même temps, de navires de guerre, de 100 canons, de 1,000 fusils à tabatière, de 300,000 cartouches. En échange, le Tong-Kin et son fleuve étaient déclarés ouverts au commerce européen.\n\nM. Dupuis prétend que l'Annam n'a ainsi donné qu'une signature, et que ce pays reste fermé plus que jamais; il se plaint aussi, avec une grande vivacité, des procédés tour à tour captieux et spoliateurs dont il aurait été la victime et dont il fait peser la charge sur l'administration de la marine. On conçoit que, sur ce terrain, nous ne puissions le suivre. Aussi bien, en s'adressant, par voie de pétition, à la Chambre des députés, a-t-il saisi ses juges naturels. C'est à ceux-ci de faire la lumière, de déclarer si les faits qu'il articule sont véridiques, si les griefs qu'il invoque sont fondés. Il devait nous suffire, à cette place, de narrer ses efforts et de rendre justice au sentiment patriotique qui les a inspirés, comme à l'indomptable énergie qu'ils révèlent.\n\nAD.-F. DE FONTPERTUIS.\n\nCORRESPONDANCE.\n\nLE PRIX DES DÉPÊCHES TÉLÉGRAPHIQUES INTERNATIONALES.\n\nMonsieur le rédacteur en chef,\n\nOn lit dans le numéro de votre journal du 18 novembre et dans l'exposé des motifs de la loi sur le nouveau tarif télégraphique, la phrase suivante:\n\n«Ce résultat (un excédant de recettes supérieur à 2 millions), dont on doit se féliciter... n'est dû qu'aux produits du service international, qui seul solde en bénéfices...\n\nAprès cet aveu, on ne dit plus un mot sur ce service international, cause d'un excédant qui n'est pas à dédaigner, et l'exposé de M. le ministre des finances conclut à des réductions de tarif pour le service intérieur. Nous approuvons certes cette pensée, mais est-il rationnel de ne rien faire pour le service international? N'est-ce pas peut-être empêcher le développement d'une recette qui n'aura jamais dit son dernier mot? En effet, de quel développement notre commerce à l'étranger n'est-il pas susceptible, avec les produits de notre sol et ceux non moins remarquables de notre industrie? Notre prétention ne doit pas être de subvenir aux besoins de 35 millions de Français, mais bien aux 3 ou 400 millions d'individus qui consomment nos produits. La force et la richesse d'un pays proviennent de l'importance de son exportation.\n\nLe tarif télégraphique empêche non-seulement le développement commercial, mais il est tout simplement inique. Une dépêche de France en Suisse coûte fr. 3.\n\nDépense. En France, fr. 1.40 bientôt fr. 1. En Suisse, fr. 0.50\n\nCoût réel de la dépêche, fr. 1.90 Surtaxe au préjudice des relations avec l'étranger.. 1.30\n\nTarif international..... fr. 3 » toujours fr. 3\n\nPour la Belgique, même calcul.\n\nUne dépêche de France en Hollande coûte fr. 4 Dépense. -En France, fr. 1.40 bientôt fr. 1 » En Belgique, fr. 0.50 » En Hollande, fr. 0.60 »\n\n2.10 4.90\n\nCoût réel de la dépêche, fr. 2.50 Surtaxe au préjudice des relations avec l'étranger.. fr. 1.50\n\nTarif international..... fr. 4 » toujours fr. 4 Comment justifier une pareille énormité?\n\nOn comprend à la rigueur qu'on n'admette pas encore pour la télégraphie les principes de l'union postale avec un tarif unique, n'importe le nombre de pays traversés; mais exiger une surtaxe sur le coût réel, en cumulant les taxes d'une dépêche simple dans chaque contrée dont on emprunte le fil, paraît être une chose peu juste et une hérésie économique.\n\nVeuillez agréer,\n\nP.

La réclamation des signataires nous paraît légitime, et nous désirons que la Commission du budget et la Chambre en veuillent bien tenir compte. Les distillateurs et liquoristes bordelais trouvent juste et avantageux pour le consommateur la disposition de la loi du 2 avril 1872, qui, modifiant les lois antérieures de 1824 et 1841, taxe les liqueurs et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie selon leur richesse alcoolique. Ils se plaignent seulement de ce que cette loi refuse au fabricant tout déchet de fabrication, et l'assimile au simple entrepositaire.\n\nLa Commission du budget, disent-ils, se trouvant réunie en ce moment pour s'occuper de la grave question des impôts, les soussignés, distillateurs et liquoristes de Bordeaux, viennent s'adresser à vous, monsieur le président, pour vous prier d'appuyer leurs justes réclamations au sujet de la loi votée, le 2 avril 1872, par l'Assemblée nationale, et dont ils demandent la modification. Cette loi, inspirée par quelques distillateurs des environs de Paris, a complètement bouleversé la législation qui, depuis 1824, régissait les alcools employés chez les fabricants de liqueurs et fruits à l'eau-de-vie; et pourtant cette législation avait, pendant près de cinquante années, profité dans une large mesure à l'Etat, sans entraver le développement de votre industrie, et, devons-nous le dire? sans offrir à la fraude les mêmes avantages que la loi actuelle, quoique les moyens de répression soient aujourd'hui plus sévères et la pénalité plus élevée.\n\nNous reconnaissons qu'en présence des lourdes charges budgétaires qui pèsent sur notre pays, la loi du 24 juin 1824, modifiée par la loi du 25 juin 1841 et l'ordonnance royale du 25 août de la même année, devait être encore revisée; mais il n'était pas équitable de la supprimer entièrement, surtout sans un examen approfondi et sans enquête préalable auprès des parties intéressées. La loi de 1844 imposait, il est vrai, les liqueurs et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie comme alcool pur, mais le fabricant avait une allocation de déchets qui ne lui laissait aucune charge fiscale. Actuellement, la liqueur et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie sont taxés d'après leur richesse alcoolique, ce qui est plus juste et plus avantageux pour le consommateur, mais ce dont il est seul à bénéficier; en revanche, on refuse au fabricant tout déchet de fabrication, et on l'assimile au simple entrepositaire; anomalie flagrante, sur laquelle nous insisterons tout particulièrement. L'entrepositaire, en effet, se borne à recevoir en dépôt, à entreposer, suivant le terme adopté, des eaux-de-vie et des alcools, qui sortent de chez lui tels, ou à peu près, qu'ils y sont entrés. Le distillateur-liquoriste, au contraire, manipule l'alcool, le modifie, le mélange, le transforme; de là une série d'opérations qui ont pour résultat des déchets importants, que les entrepositaires n'ont évidemment à supporter en aucune façon. Or il est alloué aux fabricants-liquoristes une déduction de 7 0/0 par an, la même déduction qu'aux entrepositaires, pas davantage.\n\nVoilà plus de quatre ans que nous subissons cette loi, et, chaque jour, nous avons à en déplorer les fâcheux résultats. Si donc il est vrai qu'un motif d'équité soit le principe de la nouvelle loi, il faut reconnaître aussi que le but des promoteurs de la nouvelle loi a été dépassé, et qu'en la rédigeant ils n'avaient qu'une connaissance bien imparfaite de l'industrie dont ils réglementaient l'existence fiscale. C'est pourquoi, lorsque nous avons acquis la conviction que la Commission du budget voulait entrer résolument dans la voie des réformes en matière d'impôts, nous avons décidé de nous adresser à vous, monsieur le président, sous les auspices et avec l'appui, de la chambre de commerce de Bordeaux. Toutefois, la demande que nous recommandons à votre bienveillante attention et à celle de vos honorables collègues n'est pas une demande de réduction de droits. Non! nous connaissons trop les exigences du budget pour parler de réduction. Ce que nous réclamons avec instance, c'est que, la loi faisant une distinction nécessaire entre les entrepositaires d'eaux-de-vie et les fabricants de liqueurs, accorde à ces derniers des déchets de fabrication.\n\nEst-il juste, en effet, de percevoir les droits sur une marchandise qui n'existe pas, et qui, par conséquent, n'est ni vendue, ni livrée à la consommation? est-il juste de nous mettre par cela même dans un état réel d'infériorité vis-à-vis de l'active concurrence que nous fait l'étranger, et de rendre l'exportation de nos produits autant plus difficile que les droits qui les frappent sont plus onéreux? Pour les fabricants de Bordeaux en particulier, la situation qui leur est imposée par la loi de 1872 est extrêmement fâcheuse, car leurs principales affaires sont des affaires d'exportation, et, ils peuvent le dire avec confiance, les liqueurs de Bordeaux jouissent sur tous les points du globe d'une légitime renommée. Nous ne pouvons croire qu'il soit entré dans les desseins du gouvernement et des Assemblées législatives de porter une atteinte aussi grave à cette branche si importante du commerce d'exportation, alors surtout que, dans les sphères officielles, on se préoccupe du ralentissement de ce commerce, une des sources les plus grandes de la richesse nationale. Nous espérons donc qu'il suffira d'appeler sur ce fait l'attention de MM. les membres de la Commission, du budget pour qu'il soit promptement remédié à un pareil état de choses.\n\nNous venons, monsieur le président, de vous expliquer le moins longuement possible les inconvénients de la loi\n\n316",

La demande que nous formulons ci-dessus est basée sur de nombreuses expériences, que les fabricants de Bordeaux soussignés sont prêts à recommencer en présence de l'Administration des contributions indirectes.\n\n2° En dehors de cette allocation spéciale à leurs déchets de fabrication, les fabricants liquoristes jouiront de 7 % de déduction de séjour par ou sur tous les liquides qu'ils auront dans leurs entrepôts.\n\n1° Les excédants qui pourraient être constatés par les recensements devront alors être simplement pris en charge, la prise en charge garantissant suffisamment les droits du Trésor.\n\n4° Les manquants continueront, comme dans la loi du 2 août 1872, à n'être passibles que du simple droit.\n\n3° Étant donnée l'insuffisance de l'alambic Salleron, accorder dans les vérifications une tolérance qui puisse compenser la défectuosité reconnue de cet appareil pour la vérification des liqueurs, fruits à l'eau-de-vie et bitter.\n\nEn vous priant de nouveau, monsieur le président, de prendre notre demande en sérieuse considération, et de vouloir bien user de votre haute influence en faveur de nos intérêts, lésés par une loi incomplète, nous vous présentons, monsieur le président, nos respectueuses salutations.» Suivent vingt-trois signatures. Plusieurs autres n'ont pu être apposées, par suite de l'absence des chefs de maison. La chambre de commerce de Bordeaux s'est jointe aux signataires de la pétition pour en attester le bien-fondé et la recommander à l'attention de la Commission du budget.\n\nPROTECTION INTERNATIONALE DES MARQUES DE FABRIQUE.\n\nBULLETIN DE QUINZAINE.\n\nJurisprudence des tribunaux italiens.\n\nLa cour de cassation de Florence vient de clore de la façon la plus heureuse une campagne importante entreprise il y a près de deux ans, sous les auspices de l'Union des fabricants, par plusieurs sociétaires.\n\nUn grand intérêt s'attachait aux instances en cours, en dehors des questions de fait. On sentait, en effet, que de la solution qui serait donnée aux exceptions soulevées dépendait la sécurité des marques françaises en Italie.\n\nIl y avait, dans les procès engagés par MM. Blancard et consorts, à Milan et à Florence, des difficultés juridiques s'appliquant à notre commerce tout entier, et dont les moins apparentes n'étaient peut-être pas les moins redoutables. Pour bien saisir toute la portée du débat, il faut savoir que l'Italie est beaucoup moins unifiée qu'on ne le suppose en France. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'il y a encore cinq cours de cassation émettant souvent des décisions notablement divergentes. Ajoutez à cela que la pénalité n'est pas la même pour le même acte dans toutes les provinces du royaume, à tel point qu'un assassin, qui sera guillotiné s'il a opéré sur la rive droite du Serchio, sera seulement condamné à l'ergastolo, s'il a occis sa victime sur la rive gauche — crime à Lucques, ce qui est délit à Pise.\n\nIl va de soi que la procédure se ressent de la pénalité, que les délais d'ajournement varient suivant que l'instance relève du code pénal toscan ou du code pénal italien. On comprend que ces inégalités de traitement sur le même territoire sont une source d'exceptions que les délinquants ne manquent pas d'invoquer, et souvent avec succès. Il s'agissait de savoir, dans l'espèce, si la loi italienne du 30 août 1868 est applicable uniformément, comme pénalité et comme procédure, dans toute l'Italie, ou si l'étranger doit se débattre dans les complications des législations locales. Telle est la question qui a été portée devant la cour suprême de Toscane. On pouvait craindre l'influence d'un sentiment de particularisme d'autant plus explicable que les Toscans jugent, non sans raison, leur code supérieur au code italien, en bien des points sur lesquels il va se faire bientôt un certain bruit dans le Parlement. Mais il était permis, d'autre part, d'espérer que la loi serait interprétée en esprit et en vérité, c'est-à-dire dans le sens d'une application générale à toute la monarchie, car c'était l'avis de l'honorable M. Puccioni, dont l'autorité en pareille matière résulte non seulement de son grand savoir personnel, mais encore de ce fait bien connu que son illustre père est l'auteur du code pénal toscan. L'éminent juriste que la Chambre des députés vient d'élever à la vice-présidence a donc développé devant la cour suprême la véritable thèse de droit en cette matière, à savoir que tous les faits relatifs à la contrefaçon relèvent aujourd'hui de la loi générale édictée le 30 août 1868, et n'ont rien à voir avec les dispositions locales maintenues, à titre transitoire, lors de la formation du royaume d'Italie. La cour de cassation de Florence a adopté sagement cette haute interprétation. Ainsi se trouve simplifiée une question extrêmement importante pour le commerce étranger; mais ce n'est pas la seule que l'arrêt ait tranchée, du moins implicitement. Il résulte en fait de la confirmation des sentences rendues en première instance et en appel que la procédure suivie en cette circonstance est aujourd'hui fixée comme parfaitement correcte. Or la saisie des livres et de la correspondance des contrefacteurs a fait partie de cette procédure et en a été l'une des parties essentielles.\n\nEnfin, la conformité des motifs adoptés par les trois degrés des juridictions implique encore un autre résultat de la plus haute valeur : c'est que le propriétaire d'une marque ne saurait en être dépouillé par ce fait que ladite marque a été contrefaite antérieurement au dépôt, ce qui était établi dans l'espèce. Nous insistons sur ce point, parce qu'il a fait l'objet d'une controverse devant la cour d'appel de Turin qui, il y a deux ans, a incliné vers une solution contraire. On voit que les vrais principes font leur chemin. Il ne serait que juste d'ajouter, en présence des jugements et arrêts récemment rendus à Milan et à Florence, qu'en aucun autre pays, la magistrature ne prend un plus vif souci de la probité commerciale et des progrès du sens moral.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nCDE MAILLARD-MARAFY,\n\nLES JURIDICTIONS CIVILES ET COMMERCIALES. LEURS TRAVAUX EN 1874.\n\nNous publions aujourd'hui la première partie du rapport que M. le garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes, vient d'adresser au Président de la République sur l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France pendant l'année 1874. Nous avons cru devoir seulement en retrancher ce qui touche à des matières d'un intérêt de second ordre pour le public auquel nous nous adressons, à savoir : les jugements préparatoires ou interlocutoires (avant-faire-droit), les ordonnances des présidents et les ordres et contributions. En revanche, nous signalons à l'attention particulière de nos lecteurs certains paragraphes dont la portée ne saurait leur échapper. Tel est celui qui est relatif aux ventes judiciaires et qui constate que la diminution du nombre des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles, déjà sensible en 1873, s'est encore accentuée davantage en 1874. Le paragraphe qui concerne les séparations de corps mérite aussi d'être remarqué : il est curieux de voir que le nombre des ordonnances rendues sur ce genre de litige est presque identique en 1874 et en 1873 : 8,293 en 1873 et 8,194 en 1874; que la même égalité se retrouve dans les chiffres des ordonnances de comparution des parties : 4,286 et 4,330; pour le nombre des non-conciliations, il n'y a aussi, entre les deux années, qu'une légère différence — pendant l'année 1874, 3,864 causes seulement ont été renvoyées devant les tribunaux faute d'accord entre les époux, tandis qu'en 1873 il y en avait eu 3,931. Pour ce qui est des ventes judiciaires, la disproportion exorbitante qui existe entre le montant des adjudications et celui des frais démontre péremptoirement, cette année comme l'année dernière, « la nécessité et l'urgence des réformes attendues. » Seulement, tandis que, dans son précédent rapport, M. le garde des sceaux se bornait à exprimer « l'espérance de voir se réaliser, sur ce point, les réformes si équitables qui avaient déjà fixé l'attention du législateur, » il peut, cette fois, donner à l'opinion publique une satisfaction plus complète, en rappelant la présentation faite par lui à la Chambre des députés, au mois de mai dernier, d'un projet de loi sur les ventes des immeubles de peu de valeur, « qui aura pour effet de diminuer les frais auxquels ces ventes donnent lieu. »\n\nRapport au Président de la République française.\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nJ'ai l'honneur de mettre sous vos yeux le compte général de l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France et en Algérie pendant l'année 1874. Il complète, avec le compte criminel que je vous ai soumis récemment, l'ensemble des travaux de la magistrature en toute matière et à tous les degrés de juridiction.\n\nDe même que j'ai eu la satisfaction, à l'occasion de ce dernier document, de signaler, dans l'expédition des affaires criminelles et correctionnelles, un progrès marqué, une abréviation sensible des délais, je suis heureux de constater que la procédure civile a été également plus rapide en 1874 qu'en 1873. Cette amélioration est d'autant plus appréciable que, dans les procès civils, l'initiative appartient aux parties et que les obstacles opposés par leur négligence ou leur mauvais vouloir au zèle des magistrats sont souvent insurmontables.\n\nLa presque similitude des résultats obtenus durant les deux années doit rendre nécessairement très concise l'analyse des travaux accomplis en 1874 par les cours et tribunaux en matière civile et commerciale.\n\nPREMIÈRE PARTIE.\n\nCour de cassation. — Le nombre des pourvoît en cassation formés en 1874 s'est élevé à 3,350, ou 112 de plus qu'en 1873. Cette augmentation provient uniquement des pourvois en matière électorale (203 au lieu de 49).\n\nCes 3,350 pourvois étaient dirigés contre des décisions émanant 418 des cours d'appel, 143 des tribunaux civils, 41 des tribunaux consulaires, 204 des justices de paix, 29 des jurys d'expropriation, 2 des chambres de notaires, 1 du conseil de l'ordre des avocats au conseil d'État et à la cour de cassation. Les 12 autres consistaient en 8 demandes en règlement de juges et 4 réquisitoires.\n\nLa chambre des requêtes a reçu 813 de ces mêmes pourvois et la chambre civile 34 (affaires d'expropriation forcée pour cause d'utilité publique. Art. 20 de la loi du 10 mai 1841). Deux des quatre réquisitoires et le pourvoi formé contre la décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation ont été portés directement devant les chambres réunies.\n\nAu 1er janvier 1874, il restait au rôle 440 pourvois. Avec les 813 qui lui ont été renvoyés pendant l'année, c'est un total de 1,253 affaires sur lesquelles la chambre des requêtes avait à statuer. 764 ont été terminées en 1874, savoir : 470 par des arrêts de rejet, de déchéance ou de non-recevabilité, 263 par des arrêts d'admission (dont 33 de cassation en matière électorale), 24 par des désistements, 4 par des règlements de juges et 1 par un arrêt en matière disciplinaire. Le rôle contenait donc encore, au 31 décembre, 489 pourvois.\n\nLa chambre civile avait à se prononcer, en 1874, sur 361 affaires : 104 anciennes et 257 nouvelles. Elle en a réglé 256 par des arrêts : 92 de rejet, 137 de cassation et 7 donnant acte de désistement, et légué à l'année suivante 105.\n\nQuant aux chambres réunies, elles ont rendu 3 arrêts : 1 de rejet, 1 en matière disciplinaire et 1 qui homologuait une décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation.\n\nEn résumé, si l'on écarte des indications ci-dessus les chiffres qui représentent les arrêts d'admission de la chambre des requêtes et qui font double emploi avec ceux de la chambre civile, on voit que la cour de cassation a rendu 754 arrêts définitifs, parmi lesquels 191 annulaient les décisions attaquées ; c'est le quart (25 %) ou quatre centièmes de moins qu'en 1873.\n\nLe code de commerce est celui dont les dispositions paraissent avoir été le moins bien interprétées par les cours et tribunaux dont les arrêts et jugements ont été frappés de pourvois ; le rapport des cassations au nombre total des arrêts rendus en matière commerciale se chiffre par 36 sur 100, tandis que pour les affaires dont la solution se trouve dans les codes civils ou de procédure civile, la proportion n'est que de 20 % ; elle est de 28 % à l'égard des procès qui ont leur source dans l'application des lois spéciales.\n\nDEUXIÈME PARTIE.\n\nCours d'appel. Pendant l'année 1874, les vingt-six cours d'appel de France avaient à juger 16,436 affaires civiles ou commerciales, se divisant de la manière suivante : 5,667 restant des années précédentes, 146 réinscrites après radiation, 68 revenant sur opposition à des arrêts par défaut prononcés antérieurement à l'année du compte, et 10,555 inscrites pour la première fois ; ce dernier chiffre est inférieur de 123 à celui de 1873.\n\nLes cours ont jugé contradictoirement près des trois quarts des procès terminés : 8,105 sur 11,056, ou 73 % ; elles ont rendu 309 arrêts par défaut (5 %) ; enfin, 2,642 causes (22 %) ont été rayées du rôle après transaction. Il restait donc à statuer, à l'expiration de l'exercice, sur 5,380 affaires ; c'est 287 de moins qu'à l'époque correspondante de 1873, et cependant les cours avaient eu à juger 616 causes de plus ; la situation générale s'est donc améliorée.\n\nBien que les cours d'appel aient terminé 903 affaires de plus en 1874 qu'en 1873, elles ont prononcé 54 avant-faire-droit de moins. Le rapport des arrêts préparatoires ou interlocutoires aux affaires rayées du rôle, qui était de 1 sur 20 en 1870, est de 1 sur 24 en 1874.\n\nDes 5,380 causes restées indécises au 31 décembre, 2,615 constituaient l'arriéré légal prévu par l'article 80 du décret du 30 mars 1808 ; c'est près de la moitié : 49 %. En 1873, le chiffre réel avait été de 3,007 sur 3,667 et le chiffre proportionnel de 53 %. Ce résultat est dû exclusivement à la cour de Paris, qui a prononcé la radiation d'un grand nombre d'affaires qui figuraient au rôle depuis plusieurs années et qui étaient, en réalité, abandonnées.\n\nEn 1874 comme en 1873, le nombre proportionnel des appels formés est de 11 % pour les jugements rendus en matière civile par les tribunaux d'arrondissement, de 12 % pour ceux qui émanaient des tribunaux spéciaux de commerce et de 10 % pour ceux qui ont été prononcés par les tribunaux civils jugeant commercialement.\n\nMais le résultat de ces appels diffère légèrement : le chiffre des confirmations de jugements civils ou commerciaux est de 71 % en 1874, tandis qu'il n'avait été, en 1873, que de 69 % en matière civile et de 70 % en matière commerciale. Si, pour cette dernière catégorie, on distingue les tribunaux consulaires des tribunaux civils, on remarque entre eux une différence de dix centièmes : 72 confirmations pour 100 décisions des premiers et 62 % des seconds. Eu égard à 1873, la première de ces proportions s'est accrue de 2 % ; la seconde, au contraire, a diminué de 7 %.\n\nDans leurs rapports avec les dispositions législatives appliquées, les arrêts confirmatifs se chiffrent de la manière suivante : code civil 69 % ; code de procédure civile, 63 % ; code de commerce, 67 % ; et matières diverses prévues par des lois spéciales, 69 % — l'écart est très peu sensible.\n\nAdoptions. Les actes d'adoption soumis aux cours d'appel ont été moins nombreux que précédemment. Il y en avait eu 110 en 1873, et 138 en 1872 ; il n'y en a plus que 93 en 1874. À l'égard de 6 de ces derniers, les cours ont déclaré qu'il n'y avait pas lieu à adoption.\n\nOn comptait parmi les adoptants 28 hommes, 39 femmes et 26 conjoints agissant de consentement mutuel. Les deux tiers d'entre eux (60) étaient propriétaires rentiers ou exerçaient des professions libérales.\n\nLes adoptés, au nombre de 103, étaient 59 hommes et 41 femmes. 42 ne tenaient aux adoptants par aucun lien de parenté ; 19 étaient leurs neveux ou nièces ; enfin, 32 étaient des enfants naturels, dont 22 avaient été reconnus.\n\nTROISIÈME PARTIE.\n\nTribunaux de première instance. — Pendant l'année 1874, il a été inscrit 125,248 affaires civiles aux rôles des tribunaux d'arrondissement ; ce chiffre avait été de 130,613 en 1873. Cette différence provient, sans aucun doute, de l'élévation des droits de timbre et d'enregistrement, qui arrête, au début, un grand nombre de procès.\n\nÀ ces 125,248 causes nouvelles il convient, pour avoir l'ensemble des affaires du rôle, d'en ajouter 31,770 qui avaient été léguées par l'année précédente, 11,363 qui ont été réinscrites après avoir été considérées comme terminées, et 1,719 qui sont revenues sur opposition à des jugements par défaut rendus antérieurement ; c'est donc un total de 170,302 affaires, se divisant en 88,923 ordinaires, et 81,379 sommaires. (Art. 404 du code de procédure civile.)\n\nVoici les suites qu'elles ont reçues : plus des huit dixièmes (140,381 ou 82 %) ont disparu des rôles pendant l'année, savoir : 70,947 (la moitié) en vertu de jugements contradictoires, 34,542 (un quart) en vertu de décisions par défaut, et 35,202 (le dernier quart) par suite de transaction ou de désistement. Il en restait à juger, à la fin de l'année, 29,921, dont 9,539 avaient déjà donné lieu à des jugements d'avant-faire-droit.\n\nIndépendamment des 105,089 jugements définitifs rendus dans les affaires du rôle, les tribunaux civils en ont prononcé 84,946 sur requête ou sur rapport : 43,013 (plus des trois quarts ou 76 %) en audience publique, et 13,333 (24 %) en chambre du conseil. Le nombre des affaires non inscrites a également diminué ; il y en a eu 1,338 de moins en 1874 qu'en 1873.\n\n783\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\n...\n\n317",

Quant aux affaires réellement arriérées, leur nombre est descendu de 16,602 en 1873 à 16,121 en 1874.\n\nDans les huit dixièmes des causes jugées en 1874 par les tribunaux civils (81,277 sur 105,089), les procureurs de la République ou leurs substituts ont donné des conclusions. La loi leur en faisait un devoir dans 58,636 affaires (70 0/0), mais leur intervention a été spontanée dans 23,644. Devant les cours d'appel, le ministère public a été entendu 64 fois sur 100; ses conclusions étaient ordonnées par l'article 83 du code de procédure civile dans la moitié des cas.\n\nParmi les 26,749 ordonnances dont il vient d'être parlé, 8,194 étaient relatives à des instances en séparation de corps. 4,330 prescrivaient la comparution des parties (article 876 du code de procédure civile) et 3,861, en constatant la non-conciliation des époux, les renvoyaient à se pourvoir devant les tribunaux (article 878 du code de procédure civile). Mais ceux-ci n'ont reçu que 2,884 affaires.\n\nDans 2,513, la femme était demanderesse; le mari n'avait pris l'initiative de la poursuite que dans 371. Il a été formé 138 demandes reconventionnelles : 108 par les maris et 30 par les femmes.\n\nAu point de vue de leur profession, les époux se classent ainsi : ouvriers, 1,293 (48 0/0); marchands et commerçants, 526; propriétaires, rentiers ou exerçant des professions libérales, 479; cultivateurs, 374; profession inconnue, 212. Le mariage avait duré moins d'un an pour 26, d'un an à cinq ans pour 558, de cinq à dix ans pour 774, de dix à vingt ans pour 985, plus de vingt ans pour 517; le renseignement n'a pu être fourni à l'égard de 24.\n\nPlus du tiers des unions (1,084 ou 37 0/0) avaient été stériles.\n\nLes neuf dixièmes des demandes (2,739) étaient fondées sur des excès, sévices ou injures graves, 134 sur l'adultère de la femme, 404 sur celui du mari et 45 sur la condamnation de l'un des conjoints à une peine infamante.\n\n2,242 séparations ont été prononcées par les tribunaux et 235 refusées. Les parties demanderesses ont fait rayer du rôle avant jugement 407 affaires, dont 261 par suite de la réconciliation des époux.\n\nSur les 2,477 instances qui sont venues à la barre, 1,334 (plus de la moitié) avaient traversé les bureaux d'assistance judiciaire. Dans plus des neuf dixièmes d'entre elles (1,231 ou 92 p. 100), le demandeur en séparation de corps était l'assisté ; dans 97, c'était le défenseur; enfin, l'assistance avait été accordée dans 6 affaires aux deux parties. Les tribunaux ont donné gain de cause à l'assisté neuf fois sur dix dans 1,206 affaires.\n\nVentes judiciaires. La réduction du nombre des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles, que le rapport de 1873 avait déjà signalée, s'est encore accentuée en 1874. On n'en compte que 22,644, c'est-à-dire 1,638 de moins qu'en 1873 et 4,590 de moins qu'en 1872. Le tableau ci-après permet de voir dans quelle mesure chaque espèce de vente prend part à cette importante diminution.\n\n1872\n1873\n1874\n\nVentes sur saisies immobilières\n9.305\n8.354\n7.840\n\nVentes après surenchère sur aliénation volontaire\n557\n590\n494\n\nVentes de biens de mineurs\n2.380\n2.047\n1.636\n\nVentes sur licitation\n12.446\n11.196\n10.501\n\nVentes de biens dépendant de successions bénéficiaires\n1.431\n821\n841\n\nVentes de biens dépendant de successions vacantes\n396\n283\n319\n\nVentes d'immeubles dotaux\n113\n103\n102\n\nVentes de biens de faillis\n776\n729\n766\n\nAutres ventes\n141\n174\n148\n\nLe nombre des incidents, qui avaient été de 8,741 en 1872 et de 7,717 en 1873, n'est plus, en 1874, que de 6,948; mais, proportionnellement, c'est toujours 1 incident pour 3 ventes.\n\nPlus de la moitié des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles (12,765 ou 56 p. 100) ont été faites par les tribunaux ; les autres (9,879 ou 44 p. 100) ont eu lieu devant des notaires. L'importance des unes et des autres, le montant des prix d'adjudication et celui des frais, sont mis en parallèle dans le tableau suivant :\n\nNOMBRE DES VENTES\nTOTAL DES PRIX D'ADJUDICATION\nMONTANT TOTAL DES FRAIS\nMOYENNE DES FRAIS PAR VENTE\n\n500 francs et moins\n1.315\n419.805\n141,873\n319\n\n501 à 1.000 francs\n1.711\n1.304.672\n317.984\n388\n\n1.001 à 2.000 francs\n3.152\n4.673.182\n625.212\n198\n\n2.001 à 5.000 francs\n5.859\n19.642.152\n2.890.797\n493\n\n5.001 à 10.000 francs\n4.399\n31.049.535\n4.031.010\n916\n\nPlus de 10.000 francs\n6.208\n291.550.506\n6.076.950\n979\n\nTOTAUX\n22.644\n348.639.852\n14.024.539\n610\n\nCes chiffres, comme ceux des années précédentes, affirment hautement la nécessité et l'urgence des réformes attendues; j'ai présenté, en votre nom, monsieur le président, le 17 mai dernier, à la Chambre des députés, un projet de loi sur la vente d'immeubles de peu de valeur, qui aura pour effet de diminuer les frais auxquels elles donnent lieu.\n\n(A suivre.)\n\nREVUE ÉCONOMIQUE.\n\nSUPPRESSION DU DROIT DU TIMBRE SUR LES ASSURANCES A L'ÉTRANGER. Dans sa séance du 28 novembre, le Sénat a adopté la loi suivante :\n\n« Article unique. A partir de la promulgation de la présente loi, le droit de timbre établi par les articles 33 et 37 de la loi du 5 juin 1850 cessera d'être perçu sur les contrats d'assurance passés en pays étranger et ayant exclusivement pour objet des immeubles, des meubles ou des valeurs situés à l'étranger. Mais ces contrats doivent être soumis au timbre moyennant le paiement du droit au comptant, avant qu'il puisse en être fait aucun usage en France, soit dans un acte public, soit dans une déclaration quelconque, soit devant une autorité judiciaire ou administrative, à peine d'une amende de 50 francs.\n\n» Les mêmes dispositions sont applicables aux contrats de réassurance passés en France par actes sous signatures privées, applicables à des polices souscrites à l'étranger et ayant également pour objet exclusif des immeubles, des meubles ou des valeurs situés à l'étranger. »\n\nL'INDEMNITÉ DES CONSEILLERS PRUD'HOMMES. - Le conseil général de la Seine, dans sa séance du 23 novembre, a adopté un projet de délibération dont voici le texte :\n\n« Provisoirement, et en attendant que l'indemnité à allouer aux membres des conseils de prud'hommes soit réglée sur le budget de l'Etat, il y a lieu d'accorder pour chaque séance, aux prud'hommes ouvriers qui auront siégé pendant toute la durée de l'audience, un jeton de présence d'une valeur de 10 francs. »\n\nLes vœux suivants, présentés par la commission, ont été également adoptés :\n\n1° Que l'article 30 de la loi du 18 mars 1860 soit modifié de manière à permettre l'allocation de jetons de présence aux prud'hommes patrons aussi bien qu'aux prud'hommes ouvriers;\n\n2° Que l'institution du jeton de présence alloué aux membres des conseils de prud'hommes soit généralisée, et que la somme nécessaire soit portée en dépense, comme dépense de justice, au budget de l'Etat ;\n\n3° Que l'administration examine s'il n'y aurait pas lieu de remanier le classement actuel de professions groupées dans les quatre conseils du département de la Seine.\n\nLES ÉCOLES DE LA VILLE DE PARIS. - A l'occasion de l'ouverture des écoles communales de la Ville de Paris, qui a eu lieu le 2 octobre, une intéressante statistique vient d'être faite.\n\nLes enfants ont, pour cette année scolaire, 9,150 places de plus à occuper, et les places ajoutées aux 19,520 créées antérieurement, porteront à 28,670 le nombre total des nouvelles places existant dans les écoles qui se sont ouvertes depuis 1871. Pendant la période décennale de 1860 à 1870, il a été bâti 75 écoles dans les dix-huit arrondissements (les 1 et 20 exceptés). Ces écoles ont donné place à 15,000 garçons, à plus de 16,000 filles et à 8,500 enfants des deux sexes dont l'âge ne comporte que l'enseignement élémentaire des salles d'asile. De juin 1871 à juillet 1874, 48 établissements scolaires ont été installés dans de nouveaux établissements et, de préférence, sur les points les plus excentriques de la banlieue annexée. Ces établissements comprendront 20 écoles de garçons, 18 écoles de filles et 10 salles d'asile. Enfin, une série importante de constructions, commencées en 1872 et 1873, a été menée assez vigoureusement pour pouvoir être livrée au service scolaire à la rentrée.\n\nLA SOCIÉTÉ DE GÉOGRAPHIE DE Lyon s'empresse de porter à la connaissance du public la modification qu'elle vient d'apporter au programme de ses prix échéant à la date de fin février 1877.\n\nLE COMMERCE DE L'AUTRICHE-HONGRIE. Le ministère des finances vient de publier les documents statistiques sur le commerce de l'Autriche-Hongrie pour les trois premiers trimestres de l'année 1876. Ces chiffres accusent une diminution de 30 millions de florins sur les importations, et une augmentation de 514,754 florins sur les exportations, par rapport à l'époque correspondante de l'année 1875.\n\nLes importations se sont élevées, du 1er janvier au 30 septembre 1876, à 374,397,044 florins, contre 401,400,149 florins en 1875, et les exportations à 364,321,506 florins, contre 363,809,755 florins en 1875. La moins-value des importations a rapport, en premier lieu, aux objets manufacturés, matières textiles, aux machines diverses et tabac, tandis qu'au contraire, l'Autriche-Hongrie a dû importer pour 20 millions de florins en plus de céréales, de semences et de fruits, dans cette année, que pendant la même époque de 1873.\n\nQuant aux exportations, elles ont sensiblement diminué pour les métaux bruts, les textiles, les tissus, corderies, filés, les instruments, machines et objets de quincaillerie, et elles ont augmenté pour les animaux et viandes (5 mill. f.), pour le sucre de betterave (6 mill. f.) et pour les objets de céramique, verrerie, etc.\n\nL'ACCROISSEMENT DE LA POPULATION DANS LA GRANDE-BRETAGNE ET L'IRLANDE. - Le compte rendu de la dernière session du Congrès britannique des sciences sociales nous fournit quelques chiffres dignes de remarque sur l'accroissement vraiment prodigieux de la population dans le Royaume-Uni.\n\nEn 1801, l'Angleterre ne comptait que 8,802,330 habitants; en 1871, elle en avait 22,712,266. Dans cet espace de soixante-dix années, la guerre et l'émigration n'ont fait perdre que 15 personnes par 10,000 habitants.\n\nEn admettant que ce chiffre de perte reste le même à partir de 1876, la population des îles Britanniques atteindrait 42,000,000 à la première génération, 74,000,000 à la fin de la seconde, 130,000,000 à la fin de la troisième, 230,000,000 à la fin de la quatrième, et 400,000,000 à la fin de la cinquième. Après la septième génération, le chiffre de la population de l'Angleterre dépasserait le nombre des habitants qui peuplent aujourd'hui notre planète; et après la vingtième génération, ce chiffre serait de quinze fois supérieur à la population actuelle du globe terrestre.\n\nL'INDUSTRIE ET LE COMMERCE DES FERS ET ACIERS EN RUSSIE. D'après le Moniteur des intérêts matériels, la moyenne de la production annuelle du fer en Russie est de 320,000 tonnes environ.\n\nEn 1871, les établissements métallurgiques de l'Etat dans l'Oural, dans le district d'Olonetz, dans l'ouest et l'est de la Pologne et dans la Russie méridionale, ont produit 202,501 tonnes de fonte; 8,994 tonnes de fer brut; 1,151 tonnes d'acier; 8,203 tonnes de projectiles de guerre; 146 tonnes d'acier à canons; 211 tonnes de fer à canons; 169 tonnes de blindages; des locomotives à concurrence de 177 tonnes; 46,695 sabres et baïonnettes; 8,733 canons de fusils, etc.\n\nPour donner une idée de l'inépuisable richesse des gisements russes, qu'il nous suffise de citer le seul district de Goroblagodati, dans l'Oural; il débite annuellement jusqu'à 33 et 40,000 tonnes de minerai de fer par an. De 1813 à 1872, ces minières ont extrait 1,290,322 tonnes; en outre, l'extraction y est des plus faciles, beaucoup de gisements sont même à fleur de terre, et comme richesse, les minerais extraits peuvent soutenir la comparaison avec les meilleurs, à en juger surtout par les spécimens exposés au Polytechnicum de Moscou.\n\nLa grande question aujourd'hui est de remplacer le bois par la houille, et pour cela des chemins de fer nombreux sont indispensables. Déjà quelques établissements importants ont opéré cette révolution dans leur fabrication.\n\nL'industrie de l'acier fait également des progrès sérieux en Russie. M. Pontiloff emploie le système Bessemer, ainsi que les établissements de l'Etat d'Obouckhof, M. Demidoff et M. Bernadaki, l'un à Nijtagile, l'autre à Permoff, dans le gouvernement de Nijni-Novogorod. M. Bernadaki, qui possède également l'établissement de Somoski, près de Nijni, y emploie le procédé Martin. Ajoutons qu'il est difficile de fabriquer du meilleur acier pour canons que n'en fabrique le gouvernement à sa grande fonderie de Perm, ainsi qu'à Obouckoff, près de Saint-Pétersbourg.\n\nLe grand marché central du fer en Russie est la foire de Nijni-Novogorod, où les établissements de l'Oural envoient à eux seuls chaque année plus de 100,000 tonnes. Cette production arrive à Nijni sur des convois formés de bateaux non pontés et à fond plat qui descendent les rivières Tchoussova, Bielaya, Kama et le Volga. Cette navigation est longue et dangereuse, et il ne se passe pas d'année que l'on ne perde sur la Tchoussova quelques bateaux chargés. Le fer arrivé à Nijni passe par trois mains avant d'arriver au consommateur, de sorte que celui-ci le paie considérablement plus cher qu'il ne le paierait si les transactions se faisaient comme ailleurs. De Nijni, le fer russe est expédié dans les gouvernements voisins et sur Saint-Pétersbourg. A Riga et à Odessa, il a à lutter contre la concurrence étrangère et contre celle que lui font les établissements de l'Etat de Tomsk, Riazan, Wladimir et Kalouga, qui fournissent presque toute la région du sud-est. Plus au midi, le fer brut employé provient presque exclusivement de Laishef dans la province de Kasan.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\n735\n\nL'ECONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\n...",

G. Steurner, de Bromberg, dont les chiffres ont été revisés avec soin par le Railroad Gazette des Etats-Unis, que les chemins de fer de l'Europe couvrent, en ce moment, une étendue de 138,992 kilomètres; ceux de l'Asie, de 12,228 kil; ceux de l'Amérique du Nord, y compris le Mexique et le Canada, de 127,230 kil.; ceux de l'Amérique méridionale, de 5,922 kil; ceux de l'Afrique, de 2,322 kil.; ceux de l'Australie, de 2,803 kil, et ceux de l'Amérique centrale, de 894 kil.; en tout: 290,391 kil.\n\nEn supposant que ces voies ferrées supportent 100 tonnes de fer par kilomètre courant, nous trouverions que le total du fer et de l'acier posé sur les chemins du monde représenterait un poids de 23,040,000 tonnes.\n\nC'est de la légère progression des réseaux existants et du remplacement des rails sur les réseaux anciens que dépend la grande industrie sidérurgique. Le calcul nous démontrerait aisément que ces besoins de la consommation ne sont, partout, que trop amplement pourvus par les innombrables laminoirs des grands centres producteurs.\n\nDans les chiffres cités plus haut sont compris 11,176 kil. de voies nouvelles mis en exploitation dans le monde pendant l'année dernière, et qui n'ont pas absorbé moins de 1,117,000 tonnes de rails pour leur construction.\n\nLa consommation des rails aux Etats-Unis, en tonnes, depuis l'année 1871, peut s'établir comme suit:\n\nImportation\nFabrication indigène\nConsommation\n\n1871\n\n755,733 tonnes\n\n1872\n\n518,000 (fer) 50,701 (acier)\n890,077 tonnes\n\n1873\n381,064 (fer) 149,786 (acier)\n1,341,434\n1,530,850\n\n1874\n159,071 (acier)\n1,148,849\n729,413 tonnes (fer)\n\n1875\n7,796 (fer) 100,000 (acier)\n837,695\n810,770\n\nCes chiffres fournissent pour les cinq années une moyenne annuelle de 1,133,917 tonnes de rails livrés à la consommation, en regard desquels il est bon de se rappeler un accroissement du réseau équivalent à une moyenne de 6,963 kilomètres par an, mais qui, de 12,472 kilomètres en 1871 et de 9,867 kilomètres en 1872, est tombé brusquement à 3,041 kilomètres en 1874 et à 3,067 kilomètres en 1875. Du 1 janvier au 1er juillet de la présente année, 1,333 kilomètres nouveaux ont été livrés à la circulation.\n\nEn déduisant pour l'année 1873 le chiffre approximatif de 181,020 tonnes de rails neufs employés à la construction des voies nouvelles, il nous reste 949,897 tonnes de rails pour atteindre la moyenne de la consommation totale de rails aux Etats-Unis. Ce dernier chiffre représente un remplacement annuel moyen de 6.32 tonnes par kilomètre de voie posée et nous indique pour le rail américain une longévité de 9 ans et demi environ. Rappelons ici que près de 20,000 kilomètres, portant un million de tonnes d'acier, viennent allonger la durée générale des rails aux Etats-Unis.\n\nPARTIE COMMERCIALE.\n\nREVUE GÉNÉRALE.\n\nRien de saillant à signaler cette semaine dans la marche des affaires industrielles et commerciales. Certaines branches sont toujours vivement affectées par les variations de la politique internationale; quelques-unes en profitent; la plupart cependant en souffrent. A l'étranger, en Europe, la situation laisse relativement bien plus à désirer qu'en France. A l'outre-mer, les Etats-Unis continuent à être absorbés par les préoccupations électorales, et les transactions sont limitées à la satisfaction des besoins urgents.\n\nDe nos Antilles, rien de bien intéressant; on y a accueilli avec beaucoup de satisfaction la nouvelle de la hausse des sucres, qui va donner un peu de reprise à la malheureuse industrie de ces régions; il va lui permettre enfin de faire les dépenses nécessaires pour mettre son matériel et sa fabrication au niveau perfectionné atteint par la production des sucres indigènes.\n\nDe Porto-Rico, nous recevons quelques renseignements sur le terrible ouragan qui a dévasté cette île. La plus grande partie de la récolte des cafés a été perdue, aussi bien que celle du riz et des vivres. Toutes les plantations de cannes à sucre ont plus ou moins été éprouvées, principalement celles où la canne avait atteint toute sa croissance. Il est à craindre qu'un grand déficit n'en résulte. Les sinistres maritimes ont été excessivement nombreux; on a pu en compter 45 pour l'île seulement.\n\nA la Plata, la situation continue à s'améliorer.\n\nOn nous communique deux documents consulaires importants que nous croyons devoir porter à la connaissance de nos lecteurs. Le premier est le texte d'une circulaire adressée par le département d'Etat des Etats-Unis à ses agents consulaires de France, Grande-Bretagne, Suisse, Italie, Autriche, Belgique et Allemagne. Cette circulaire est relative aux échantillons de marchandises à importer aux Etats-Unis, et qui sont déposés dans les bureaux consulaires pour être envoyés aux douanes américaines.\n\nLes échantillons sont en triplicata. Mais beaucoup sont disposés d'une manière défectueuse: on ne peut les séparer sans les endommager; ceux envoyés sont simplement sur cartes d'échantillons qui permettent d'établir facilement leur identité avec les envois qu'ils accompagnent, et c'est ce mode d'expédition qui paraît être le plus pratique et le plus recommandable. Il faut donc s'attacher à envoyer lesdits échantillons attachés à une sorte de carton, autant que cela sera possible.\n\nComme règle, les échantillons ne devront pas excéder la taille d'un carton mesurant 7 pouces 1/4 de long sur 4 de large. Quand l'échantillon dépassera la dimension du carton, ce dernier devra lui être cloué ou attaché par quelque moyen analogue.\n\nL'autre document est relatif à la modification des droits consulaires et de transfert en Espagne.\n\n1o Les droits pour le transfert (sous pavillon national) des navires étrangers et pour la vente des navires espagnols, établis par les articles 41 et 42 des tarifs, sont réduits, dans les deux cas, à 1/2 % de la valeur des navires, au lieu de 1 %, droit actuel;\n\n2o Les droits auxquels ces quatre articles réferent sont définitivement supprimés;\n\n3o A leur place, il est ordonné qu'il soit payé, pour l'examen des livres présentés par les expéditeurs pour être compris dans les manifestes que les capitaines sont astreints à présenter à l'administration des douanes, à leur arrivée à destination, un droit de 20 à 50 centièmes de peseta par chaque tonne de 1,000 kilogrammes, ou fraction de tonne déclarée, suivant les règles suivies pour les autres droits dans le tarif. Afin de vérifier l'exactitude desdits envois, le consul demandera au capitaine une copie du connaissement correspondant à chaque envoi;\n\n4o Un droit égal sera levé sur les marchandises importées par terre; il devra être spécifié sur la note de l'envoyeur de ces marchandises;\n\n5o Le droit établi pour les Etats de l'Europe, et pour ceux de l'Afrique et de l'Asie, sur les côtes de la Méditerranée et de la mer Noire, sera applicable aux parties de l'Afrique situées sur l'Atlantique jusqu'aux frontières de la Sénégambie;\n\n6o Afin que ces modifications puissent être appliquées partout à la même date, et afin d'éviter toute plainte, les nouvelles dispositions devront être mises en vigueur à partir du 15 novembre, dans toutes les chancelleries consulaires à l'étranger.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nLes affaires maritimes ont été assez calmes cette semaine. La concurrence, étant fort grande, maintient cependant les frets très-bas, notamment ceux par steamers, chargeant dans nos ports en escale.\n\nVoici les tarifs du fret perçus sur la ligne des Antilles de la Royal Mail Company. Les départs de cette ligne ont lieu de Southampton trois fois par mois, et les marchandises qui lui sont destinées sont généralement chargées, au Havre, sur les paquebots qui font le service régulier trois fois par semaine, le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi avec Southampton.\n\nParis de Destination\nMarchandises communes\nMarchandises ordinaires\n\nBarbade\nfr. 81 30\n\nDemerara\nfr. 81 30\n\nSte-Lucie, St-Vincent, Grenade\nfr. 84 30\nfr. 115\n\nPort-Limon\n\nfr. 180\n\nGreytown\nfr. 311 43\n\nSamara, Sun-Domingue\nfr. 128 30\nfr. 144 30\n\nPorto-Plata\nfr. 100 40\n\nJacmel\nfr. 136\n\nJamaïque\nfr. 84 38\nfr. 119\n\nPort-au-Prince\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 161\n\nSavanilla\nfr. 100 40\n\nGuayra, Curaçao, Carthagène\n\nfr. 136\n\nSt-Jean-de-Porto-Rico, Naguabo, Arroyo, Ponce, Kayaguez, Aguadilla\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 108\n\nSt-Thomas\nfr. 84 50\nfr. 118\n\nSt-Kitts, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua\nfr. 100 40\nfr. 114 30\n\nMartinique\n\nfr. 400 40\n\nHavane\nfr. 63 50\nfr. 87 70\n\nVera-Cruz\nfr. 100 40\nfr. 122\n\nCentre-Amérique\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 108\n\nPunta-Arenas, San-Juan-del-Sur, Corinto, Amapala, La Guayra, La Libertad, Acajutla, San-José-de-Guatemala\nfr. 70 50\nfr. 144 30\n\nRealejo, Sessegapa, Chum-perico\n\nfr. 122\n\nSud Pacifique\n\nBuenaventura\nfr. 61 60\nfr. 415\n\nEsmeralda, Tumaco, Manta, Guayaquil\n\nfr. 198\n\nPayta\n\nfr. 414 30\n\nCallao\nfr. 35\nfr. 198\n\nLambayeque, Casma, Huau-chaco\n\nfr. 191 80\n\nIslay, Mollendo, Arica, Iquique, Cobija, Caldera, Coquimbo, Valparaiso\nfr. 20\nfr. 147 40\n\nNord Pacifique\n\nAcapulco, Manzanillo, Muzatlan, San-Francisco\nfr. 119 0\nfr. 191 80\n\nHonolulu\n\nfr. 170 80\n\nVictoria (le Vancouver)\n\nfr. 181 80\n\nJapon et Chine\n\nfr. 170 80\n\nLe tout par les pieds cubes anglais, primage compris.\n\nVoici maintenant le tarif spécial perçu pour le transport des espèces. Pour les ports compris sur la liste précédente, entre la Barbade et Trinidad: 1 3/16 % pour les espèces, la bijouterie, les pierreries et l'horlogerie; 2 3/16 % pour l'argenterie. Pour les ports compris entre la Havane et Panama, respectivement, 1 7/16 % et 1 11/16 %. Pour les ports compris entre Punta-Arenas et Valparaiso, 2 15/16 % et 3 11/16 %, respectivement. Pour les ports compris entre Acapulco et San-Francisco, 2 7/16 % et 4 2/16, respectivement. Pour les ports de Tahiti, Honolulu, Victoria, du Japon et de la Chine, 3 7/16 % et 3 3/16 %, respectivement.\n\nLa même Compagnie effectue deux départs réguliers par mois sur le Brésil et la Plata. Voici quels sont les prix de fret par 40 pieds cubes anglais, primage compris,\n\nDestinations\nMarchandises générales\n\nPernambuco et Bahia\nfr. 80\n\nRio-Janeiro, Montevideo et Buenos-Ayres\nfr. 80\n\nAu Havre ont lieu plusieurs départs chaque mois pour la Plata. En décembre, nous avons ceux d'un steamer de la ligne Lamport and Holt, qui a pris partie de son fret à fr. 25, et ceux de la ligne Quesnel, effectués par les steamers de la ligne Allan. Le steamer qui effectue le départ de décembre est le Phoenician, qui a pris fret à fr. 23 et part le 12 courant.\n\nMM. D. Genestaal et Delzons nous informent, enfin, qu'ils ont en charge, au Havre, un steamer, le Mississippi, pour New-Orléans. Ce steamer prend de la marchandise, avec connaissements directs du Havre, jusqu'au 8 décembre, aux prix suivants: New-Orléans, shill 40 par 40 pieds cubes anglais; Galveston, 55; Indianola, 55; Brazos-de-Santiago, 75; Corpus Christi, 45; Memphis, 45; Louisville, 45; Vicks-bourg, Nashville, 55; Evansville, 55; Saint-Louis, 50; Cincinnati, 40; Chicago, 60; Milwaukee, 88. — Le tout, plus 10 % pour primage.\n\n737\n\nToutes les indications de prix de fret données ci-dessus sont sous toutes réserves.\n\nCÉRÉALES. Malgré des apports meilleurs que la semaine dernière, la hausse a fait encore de nouveaux progrès sur les derniers marchés dont les avis nous soient parvenus. Lille, Lunéville et Sentis annoncent une nouvelle faveur de 50 centimes par 100 kil.; Patay, 50 centimes par 120 kil; Gallardon et La Loupe, 1 franc; à Coulonniers les prix sont restés fermes, et à Hon-dain on ne signale aucun changement.\n\nA l'exception de Patay, où l'on constate une légère hausse de 25 centimes, les avoines sont sans variation. A Paris, les offres ont été plus importantes qu'il y a huit jours, mais les vendeurs demandent généralement de 50 à 75 centimes de plus par 100 kil.\n\nLe calme qui s'est produit sur les farines de commerce rend la meunerie hésitante, et elle veut attendre jusqu'au dernier moment pour acheter; ce pendant, quelques affaires traitées dans la matinée et aussi dans l'après-midi établiraient déjà une hausse de 25 à 30 centimes par quintal, faveur qui porte principalement sur les blés roux de bonne qualité courante et sur les qualités inférieures.\n\nLe marché s'est terminé avec un peu de lourdeur, la vente présentant plus de difficulté vers la fin.\n\nNous cotons: blés blancs de choix nouveaux, fr. 31 à 31.30; dito ordinaires, fr. 30.50 à 30.75; roux nouveau choix, 30.25 à 30.50; dito ordinaires, fr. 29 à 30; blé vieux, fr. 27.50 à 28.30.\n\nLa culture tient ses blés de 50 à 75 centimes de plus par 100 kil, et a pu vendre quelques petits lots à 25 et 50 centimes de plus que mercredi dernier.\n\nLa rareté des offres de seigles diminue beaucoup l'importance des transactions. Les demandes sont toujours nombreuses pour l'Est et le Nord; mais les acheteurs hésitent à payer les prix demandés pour les quelques lots présentés.\n\nNous cotons de fr. 21 à 22 à 21.50 des 100 kil en gare d'arrivée ou sur bateau à Bercy.\n\nLes offres en orge ne sont pas plus nombreuses que mercredi dernier, et les vendeurs demandent les mêmes prix. La demande est assez suivie, et l'on obtient facilement fr. 24 à 25 à 22.50 pour les belles orges blanches; les bonnes qualités courantes ont acheteurs de fr. 21.50 à 22 et les sortes inférieures valent de fr. 20.50 à 21.25 les 100 kil. en gare d'arrivée.\n\nLa demande en escourgeon conserve la même activité; les vendeurs tentent de relever leurs prix, et demandent de fr. 21.50 à 21.75 des 100 kil en gare d'arrivée. Les acheteurs ne veulent pas dépasser les cours du marché précédent. Les affaires s'engagent difficilement, mais l'on peut constater aujourd'hui beaucoup de fermeté sur cet article.\n\nHUILES SPIRITUELLES. - Nouvelle hausse de 5 c. sur le rapproché et de 50 c. sur les termes éloignés pour l'huile de colza. La demande reste encore peu active, aujourd'hui; mais les offres ne sont pas nombreuses et l'on constate en culture une grande fermeté.\n\nHuiles de lin, sans variation sur hier, mais tendance plus ferme. Les cours des spiritueux semblent mieux assis et accusent une meilleure tendance: les différentes affaires traitées ne s'écartent pas sensiblement des prix cotés; cependant, nous avons vu demander les 4 premiers mois à fr. 72, pendant qu'on les offrait en même temps à fr. 71.50. Les 4 mois d'été sont nominaux. Circulation ce jour, 100 pipes. Stock à Paris, 14,400 pipes.\n\nSUCRES. Voir plus loin la Revue spéciale de votre collaborateur M. J. Bivort.\n\nCAFÉS. - MM. Fred, Holh and C nous écrivent de Londres:\n\nPar suite de folle de plus en plus réduite, les affaires sont très-limitées et ne présentent plus d'intérêt. Les Ceylan Plantation, sous la pression d'arrivages de 500 tonneaux et d'expéditions plus considérables, annoncées de Colombo par télégraphe, ont fléchi de 1 s. 6d; par contre, les sortes de bon ordinaire ont éprouvé une amélioration de la même importance.\n\nEn cafés Rio et Santos, environ 2,000 sacs ont été adjugés, les premiers ayant été pris pour le Levant dans le prix de 62 s. à 67 s., pour common to low channel et jusqu'à 76 s. pour fully fair channel, les derniers pour le continent de 63 s. à 74 s. pour good ordinary mixed to good pale.\n\nA dater du 24, nous avons à signaler la vente des chargements fair channel Rio, par Gesina, 4,000 sacs; Jacob Lands-trom, 3,830 sacs; Sophia Amalia, 3,210 sacs à 69 s. pour Trieste, de sorte qu'il n'en reste plus d'offert du tout.\n\nLe résultat de la vente de Hollande a entièrement satisfait les attentes qu'on en a eues sur notre marché, et, à en juger d'après les avis des ports voisins, il a produit la même impression favorable sur le continent. Hambourg cote réel ordinaire Rio à 71 pf.; ventes de la semaine, 25,000 sacs.\n\nLe calme paraît continuer sur le marché aux Etats-Unis; notre dépêche annonce: Marché nominal.\n\nNos derniers avis de Rio sont datés du 24 courant et sont comme suit:\n\nVentes depuis le 10 novembre pour Canal et Lisbonne, 14,000 sacs; dito, Méditerranée, 4,000 s.; dito, les Etats-Unis, 94,000 s.; recettes journalières, 8,800 s.; stock, 135,000 s.; good tiest, 6,400 reis, superior, 6,400 reis; change sur Londres, 25 1/2 d. prix du chargement fair to good channel Rio 69 s. 6d, fret inclus, sans commission; marché ferme; bonne demande pour toutes les sortes.\n\nVentes à Santos depuis le 10 novembre pour Canal et Lisbonne, 10,000 sacs; dito, les Etats-Unis, 16,000 s.; recettes journalières, 3,100 s.; stock 65,000 s.; prix d'un chargement fair to good channel 76 s. 9d fret, inclus, sans commission; marché ferme.\n\nD'après une dépêche de Colombo, datée 21 novembre, l'exportation s'est élevée pendant la dernière quinzaine à 1,870 tonnes contre 447 tonnes; depuis le 30 septembre à 2,091 tonnes contre 4,457 tonnes.\n\nNous devons à J. Cook et Cie les statistiques suivantes:\n\n737",

Rien de nouveau des Etats-Unis; les recettes sont toujours très-fortes, et, cette semaine encore, nous devions avoir dans les 210,000 b; l'an dernier, les arrivages aux ports se faisaient également d'une manière très rapide, et, malgré cela, nous avons déjà un excédant de plus de 200,000 b. sur la même période de la précédente campagne\n\nAu Havre, le marché a aussi présenté un aspect assez languissant, mais cependant, malgré les fortes recettes d'Amérique et les avis moins stimulants du dehors, le moral ne s'est pas modifié sensiblement; comme toujours dans les moments d'inaction, on peut parfois traiter à des conditions plus douces, mais en général, les détenteurs ont confiance et les cours des bons cotons se maintiennent très-bien et on ne peut signaler aucun changement sur les cours de vendredi dernier.\n\nLAINES. A Londres, d'après M. Pierrard, en se retrouvant moins nombreux encore que la semaine présente, les acheteurs de laines coloniales ont montré peu d'animation. Malgré cela, les vendeurs, de lundi à vendredi, ont trouvé les prix de toutes les laines à peigne et des laines exemptes de défauts pour la carde sans changement appréciable. Les acheteurs ont parfois essayé, selon leur habitude, d'obtenir des lots au-dessous de leurs cotes, mais ils ont échoué pour les genres précités, qui intéressent tout particulièrement l'exportation. Les cours des petites laines courtes plus ou moins défectueuses pour la carde, sont moins tendus, à cause de leur surabondance. Il n'est guère probable que cette situation change d'ici à la clôture, samedi prochain. Les catalogues ne seront pas importants et ne doivent plus comprendre que les qualités suivantes: 8,984 b. Sydney; 4.966 b. Port-Philippe; 597 b. Adélaïde, 21 b. Swan-River; 10,680 b. Nouvelle-Zélande; 25,248 b. d'Australie, et 7,442 b. Cap de Bonne-Espérance. Ensemble, 32,600 balles de laines coloniales.\n\nSoles. Voir plus loin notre Correspondance de Lyon.\n\nMÉTAUX. A Paris, les affaires ont été plus calmes cette semaine. On signale une baisse de 1.25 sur les sortes ordinaires; 3 2.50 sur le minerai de Corocoro; de 4 fr. sur le best selected et de 0 fr. sur les lingots. On cote actuellement par 100 kil: Cuivre de Chili 1, au Havre, 205 00; dit sorte ordinaire, 202.50; dit, en lingots, 205 00; dit. Best selected, 212 50; minerai de Corocoro (cuivre pur), 205 00; laiton feuille 1 choix, 205; dit. 2 choix, 195 00; dit. 3 choix. 200 00. Le marché des étains a été moins bien tenu cette semaine, les détroits ont baissé de 2.50 et l'étain anglais de 4 26. On cote actuellement par 100 kil : Banca livrable au Havre ou à Paris, 207 50; détroits, livrable au Havre ou à Paris. 202 50; anglais, livrable au Havre ou à Rouen, 200 00; peu d'affaires à signaler sur les plombs de France ils ont baissé de 3 fr., ainsi que le plomb belge et allemand. On cote actuellement: de France livrable à Paris, 51.00; Espagne livrable au Havre, 53.50; Anglais, livrable, au Havre, 53 50; Belge et Allemand à Paris, 51.00; les zincs restent toujours dans la même situation et se cotent par 100 kil: brut de Silésie, au Havre, 59.00; autres bonnes marques au Havre, 58.50; autres bonnes marques à Paris, 58.50.\n\nFERS. FOSTER. D'après la Métallurgie, à Paris les affaires cette semaine sont calmes et non suivies. La rente est molle, mais cela n'a rien d'inquiétant, la fin du mois étant proche. Les prix sont toujours tenus fermes et se maintiendront ainsi jusqu'à ce que les marchands étant réassortis se décident à appuyer la hausse. Ce temps est proche, nous l'espérons pour le plus grand bien de l'industrie métallurgique; car, il faut bien l'avouer, la situation des forges est critique, et beaucoup ne continuent la production qu'à force de sacrifices et pour ne pas faire chômer leur personnel. Dans la Haute-Marne, les usines du groupe ont du travail et la formation des stocks est un cas rare. Cela ne veut pas dire que la situation s'améliore L'annonce de l'arrivée de certains ordres importants avait donné à nos producteurs un moment d'espoir, mais la connaissance des prix auxquels ces ordres ont été obtenus a refroidi ce sentiment. On produit pour ne pas faire chômer le personnel, mais le besoin d'écouler fait vendre à perte. Malgré ces mauvaises nouvelles, les prix sont maintenus pour les petites affaires courantes. Les prix, d'ailleurs, ne peuvent plus baisser et il vaudrait mieux éteindre les feux que de faire de nouvelles concessions. Les petits fers, qui nous étaient généralement demandés, nous sont enlevés par les forges du Nord, qui se mettent à cette fabrication. Cet essai leur réussira-t-il? C'est ce que l'avenir nous apprendra. Dans la Meurthe-et-Moselle, la petite reprise d'affaires remarquée au commencement du mois ne s'est pas soutenue. Les demandes semblent s'être arrêtées. On connaît pourtant une petite transaction de fonte d'affinage à 66 fr. Pour des marchés plus importants il serait possible d'obtenir à 62 fr. Les producteurs de fontes du bassin de Longwy se sont constitués en syndicat, sous le nom de Comptoir général métallurgique du bassin de Longwy » et qui vendra toute la production des hauts fourneaux. Nous ne voulons rien préjuger de l'avenir de ce syndicat, mais le moyen ne nous paraît pas infaillible pour déterminer un relèvement des prix des fontes.\n\nCHARBONS. Nous lisons dans la Houille;\n\nLa physionomie du marché charbonnier parisien est excessivement variable. A un grand mouvement d'expéditions a succédé un calme relatif. Il est vrai de dire que la douceur anormale de la température et le temps mou dont nous sommes gratifiés sont peu faits pour pousser à la consommation. Les cours ont faibli, et la baisse signalée dans le Nord et le Pas-de-Calais a eu son contre-coup immédiat dans nos chantiers de la Villette et de la Chapelle, où les charbons sont livrés à un franc de moins, par tonne, qu'il y a dix jours. Les arrivages ont également perdu de leur importance, bien qu'un certain nombre de bateaux venant de Mons et de Charleroi déchargent à quai des gailletteries qu'il est quelquefois difficile de caser. Si la température reste encore quelque temps aussi clémente, on pourra considérer la grande campagne d'hiver comme manquée, l'époque des grands approvisionnements étant déjà très-avancée. Il existe de grandes quantités en magasins, beaucoup de bateaux sont encore en cours de route, et on doit maintenant s'attendre à la conservation des prix actuels, déjà faibles, malgré la baisse dont ils viennent d'être l'objet, »\n\nSUCRES.\n\nParis, le 30 novembre 1876.\n\nLes cours sont à peu près aux limites d'il y a huit jours; on cote aujourd'hui 99 fr. 75 c., base n° 3, et 8 fr. et. 87 fr. les 88°, 10/13 et 7/9, disponibles en entrepôt de Paris. En fabrique, on traite à la parité de ces prix. C'est, on le voit, un peu de faiblesse sur les blancs et un peu d'amélioration sur les roux. Le fond du marché est très-ferme, mais les affaires sont restreintes par suite de l'abstention de la spéculation et de la réserve avec laquelle les raffineurs procèdent à leurs achats.\n\nLes nouvelles de la fabrication sont de plus en plus désastreuses, et le chiffre de 200 millions de kilos est mis en discussion; un grand nombre de personnes compétentes estiment qu'on ne dépassera pas 190 millions. Sans être aussi mauvaise dans les autres pays betteraviers, la production générale n'en est pas moins très-réduite en Europe, et nos approvisionnements auront peine à suffire à la consommation avant l'arrivée normale des sucres exotiques.\n\nNous avons donc encore une longue période pendant laquelle les prix seront fixés pour ainsi dire par le bon vouloir des détenteurs.\n\nLes raffinés valent de 171 à 172 fr., suivant marques, pour la consommation. Les raffineries des ports ne travaillent que très-peu. On cite une usine de Nantes qui a été obligée, pour livrer ses marchés, d'acheter des raffinés de Paris.\n\nLes certificats mélis sont lourds à 74 fr. 75 c., disponibles à 75 fr. de janvier à mars prochain.\n\nLes marchés étrangers présentent, dans leur ensemble, une très-grande fermeté et une excellente tendance.\n\nVoici la statistique du mouvement des sucres dans la Grande-Bretagne pendant la semaine dernière :\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\nexcepté en quelques cas très-rares. Les affaires continuent à être très-calmes pour les fils et tissus.\n\nLINS. JUTES. TOUPES. FILS. TOILES.\n\nBelfast. -- Lin: Les marchés de la campagne ont été bien approvisionnés cette semaine, et les prix dans la plupart des cas ont été maintenus. Fils: La demande est restée très-calme cette semaine, et aucune transaction importante n'a eu lieu ni pour l'intérieur, ni pour l'exportation. Des offres ont été faites pour le continent, mais au-dessous des cours. Les fils d'étoupe, particulièrement du 25 au 30, ont été bien recherchés, à prix fermes.\n\n-Toiles Fabrication mécanique. Toiles légères. Les affaires faites cette semaine ont été très-limitées, les stocks croissent; prix nominaux sans changement. Toiles moyennes. Bonne demande ferme qui enlève la production, prix maintenus. Grosses toiles. Affaires modérées aux anciens prix. Toiles à monchoirs. Demande très-faible, et à peine suffisante pour établir des prix. Baliste. Recherche calme aux derniers prix. les stocks croissent, Fabrication à la main. Toiles légères pour le blanchiment. La demande reste toujours calme; les stocks chargent peu, prix fermes. Toiles moyennes. Cet article s'écoule en quantités modérées aux anciens prix; stocks limités. Grosses toiles. Affaires très-calmes, les stocks tendent à croître, prix sans changement notable. Batiste. Affaires limitées et insuffisantes pour enlever la production. Toiles blanches et apprêtées. Commerce avec le pays. Bonne demande forme pour la consommation du pays; on a traité peu d'affaires pour livraison immédiate, mais on a placé beaucoup d'ordres à livrer, Commerce avec le continent. La situation du commerce d'exportation est encore très-calme; les ordres qui viennent sont tous de détail et n'annoncent pas une amélioration immédiate. Commerce avec l'Amérique. Les derniers avis indiquent du calme, mais les prévisions sur les affaires sont bonnes. Beaucoup d'acheteurs sont venus sur notre marché, et bien qu'ils aient opéré avec prudence, les transactions peuvent être considérées comme aussi bonnes que possible dans l'état actuel de la politique. Les stocks dans le commerce ont un peu augmenté; prix bien fermes.\n\nLAINES. LAINAGES.\n\nBradford. Le marché est excessivement calme aujourd'hui, et les transactions en laines sont limitées aux besoins immédiats, Les négociants cependant ne se montrent pas trop désireux de vendre et maintiennent les cours. Le marché des fils est très-inactif; les ordres reçus pour l'exportation sont très-peu nombreux; une bonne somme d'affaires a été traitée pour l'intérieur. Le marché des tissus est sans changement; affaires limitées dans la plupart des articles.\n\nPRIX DU PAIN.\n\nDepuis huit jours, les blés et les farines ont haussé dans des proportions assez sensibles, et il devient probable qu'en présence de cette hausse, les prix du pain vont s'élever également. Le prix de 85 centimes les 2 kilogrammes n'est plus à Paris une aussi minime exception que la semaine dernière. Cependant, la grande majorité des boulangers vendent encore le pain, selon qualité, 75 et 80 centimes.\n\nEn province, les cours extrêmes varient de 32 centimes 1/2 à 40 et 42 centimes 1/2 le kilog.\n\nPRIX DE LA VIANDE A PARIS,\n\n(Marché de la Villette.)\n\nLes marchés aux bestiaux de la province ne présentent pas grande activité dans les affaires; il en est du reste toujours ainsi l'entrée de l'hiver. Les prix toutefois se maintiennent assez fermes.\n\nAu marché de la Villette, à l'exception des moutons qui sont en légère baisse, les autres bestiaux accusent des prix fermes ou en hausse.\n\nVoici les prix de vente de la viande au détail dans les boucheries de la capitale.\n\nCOURS DES FONTES.\n\nCirculaire de MM. Castel et Latla.\n\nGlasgow, 28 novembre 1876.\n\nEn Ecosse, les exportations de fonte brute, pendant la dernière semaine, ont été de 10,270 tonnes contre 8,116 tonnes exportées en 1875 pendant la période correspondante; soit un excédant de 2,160 tonnes pour l'année courante.

        "content_text": "LILLE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS\n\nLes forges ne manquent pas d'activité, mais elles la paient chèrement par les concessions de prix. Cette activité n'est pas enviable. Les usines de ce groupe ont à peu près toutes les fournitures de fers destinées à la construction du palais de l'Exposition; la Société Hamoir et Cie la plus forte partie. Les prix, dit-on, sont de 170 à 180 francs, franco Paris; tous ces fers sont demandés de longueur fixe. C'est le maximum baisse. On cote le plus généralement les fers marchands et ceux à plancher 170 à 175 francs en forge, pour les demandes courantes; et 165 francs pour marchés; les petits fers à cercles, 240 à 245 francs; la grosse tôle, 230 à 240 francs, à l'usine.\n\nDes petits fers marchands classés dans les 3 et 4 classes nous ont été demandés en abondance. Cette spécialité, qui ordinairement est demandée aux forges de l'Est, nous a donné lieu d'espérer une prochaine reprise.\" Nous espérons que les producteurs maintiendront leurs prix, ce qui leur permettra d'élever leurs prétentions en cas de reprise bien marquée. D'ailleurs, une nouvelle baisse est impossible, malgré les exigences de la clientèle marchande.\n\nIl y a un peu plus de demandes pour les lins de Russie, sans grand changement dans les cours; en lins de pays, un courant ordinaire. Des affaires assez importantes en fils. Moyennant de très légères concessions sur les prix.\n\nPas de changement pour la toile ordinaire; les transactions continues ont eu lieu depuis quelques semaines en toiles à teindre.\n\nMoyen marché aux blés, on avait apporté 1,200 hectolitres environ. Vente assez active avec hausse 50 à 75 centimes. Farines en consommation, 41 fr. 50 pour le disponible; la livrable plusieurs mois 42 francs.\n\nLYON, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nSOIES ET SOIERIES. Nous commençons cette correspondance en donnant les chiffres de la condition pour le mois qui finit aujourd'hui : 4,100 balles du poids de 287,000 kilogrammes, contre 5,966 balles du poids de 383,850 kilogrammes pendant le mois correspondant de 1875. Si on déduisait du nombre des balles qui ont passé à la condition celles qui forment l'objet de contrats antérieurs, on arriverait à un total tellement minime que l'on comprendrait facilement combien il est actuellement impossible de fixer les cours et de mesurer exactement les degrés de la baisse. Celle-ci a pourtant fait de nouveaux progrès, et l'on peut évaluer à 5 francs la nouvelle dépréciation survenue dans la dernière huitaine.\n\nCette dépréciation a surtout marqué les derniers jours de la semaine qui a précédé celle où nous sommes. À ce moment et à ces prix, il s'est fait quelques achats, de peu d'importance, il est vrai, mais qui ont néanmoins attiré l'attention des fabricants et des mouliners. Ces affaires, quoique isolées et par cela même ne constituant pas des cours réguliers, semblent servir de base aux transactions en projets et provoquer un peu plus de demandes.\n\nNous cotons, comme cours pratiqués: 105 francs pour les organsins de Piémont, premier ordre, précédemment vendus 130 francs; 100 francs pour trames d'Italie, bonne livraison, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges Toscane, premier ordre, 9/11, 100 francs, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges de Chine Tsatlee 5, 63 à 65 francs, précédemment vendes 74-76 francs; grèges de Japon Mybashi, 2 1/2 à 3, 70 francs, valant précédemment 91 à 92 francs.\n\nÀ ces prix, disons-nous, il y a preneurs pour d'assez grosses parties; mais la marchandise n'est pas offerte et nos détenteurs importants de tous genres semblent vouloir attendre quelque temps encore avant de souscrire à ces prix, qui peuvent bien se pratiquer isolément, mais ne sont pas, à l'heure qu'il est, généralement acceptés.\n\nCes faits indiquent que la confiance dans l'avenir des prix de la soie n'est que partiellement ébranlée et que les gens les mieux placés croient toujours à un retour en hausse avant la fin de cette campagne.\n\nMais la seule rareté relative de la soie ne nous semble pas pouvoir déterminer ce retour; il faudrait pour cela une éclaircie dans la situation politique et surtout un réveil dans les affaires en étoffes. De ce côté, il n'y a aucune amélioration à noter. Les petites commissions qui se donnent çà et là sont des plus réduites et la vente sur banque est presque nulle. L'acheteur ne se laisse tenter que lorsque le fabricant consent à subir des prix bien inférieurs à ceux de la matière première.\n\nEn attendant, le stock de la marchandise fabriquée, comme celui de la soie, s'accumule sur notre place.\n\nLa fabrique réduit sa production ainsi qu'en font foi les relevés des ateliers de teinture, qui ne font que les deux tiers ou la moitié de leur travail ordinaire.\n\nLes arrivages de soies asiatiques sont plus importants qu'ils ne l'ont jamais été. Les magasins généraux ont en dépôt entre Lyon et Marseille environ 18,000 balles des soies de cette provenance. Les magasins particuliers sont loin d'être dégarnis. Les hauts prix du mois de septembre ont fait converger vers Lyon presque tout le stock disponible du monde entier. Mais, si important que ce stock puisse paraître aujourd'hui, il ne faut pas oublier qu'il est destiné à alimenter la fabrication pendant sept ou huit mois, et que les suppléments qui pourraient arriver d'ici à la fin de la campagne ne sauraient être bien importants.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons répété à satiété que les filatures en Europe tirent à leur fin et ne produiront plus grand'chose.\n\nDans l'extrême Orient, il y a toujours un stock qui ne laisse pas d'être considérable, mais qui ne contient plus des réserves pouvant alimenter utilement notre marché. La question est donc de savoir si les détenteurs en Europe sont décidés à attendre tranquillement un réveil d'affaires qui, selon toute probabilité, ne peut avoir lieu qu'en janvier et février; et même s'ils veulent escompter les chances de la récolte de 1877 en vue du retour de la hausse dont nous parlons plus haut, ou bien si, par prudence ou nécessité, ils se décideront avant cette époque à souscrire aux sacrifices que la fabrique et le moulinage semblent vouloir demander pour retourner franchement aux achats.\n\nSur le marché de Milan, le calme est complet, la marchandise courante très-offerte et la belle marchandise bien tenue.\n\nÀ Marseille, nullité d'affaires avec peu de stock. Les cocons de bonne qualité se paient encore de 25 à 26 francs, prix bien supérieurs aux cours actuels des grèges.\n\nÀ Londres, peu d'affaires, quelques petites transactions en soies de Chine avec 2-6 à 3 sh. de baisse sur les prix les plus hauts pratiqués les Japon semblent presque invendables à Londres il est vrai que ce marché a reçu, cette campagne, le rebut de la production japonaise. Les soies de bonne qualité et de filature européenne ont été dirigées directement sur le continent.\n\nSur les marchés orientaux, le marasme est complet; il ne s'y fait presque rien. L'Éléphant bleu était coté, le 29 novembre, 550 taels, à Shanghai; mais il est probable, nous télégraphie-t-on, que l'on pourrait traiter à 525-530 taels, Le change était remonté à 7.05.\n\nÀ Yokohama, la bonne marchandise devient de plus en plus rare. On a payé, ces jours-ci, 1,000 piastres pour les bonnes filatures à l'européenne. On cote: 775 piastres les Mybashi no 2. Change 5.25. Nous manquons de détails sur l'exportation totale des graines. Mais, jusqu'au 18 de ce mois, 400,000 cartons seulement avaient été expédiés, dont plus de la moitié par la dernière malle.\n\nLE HAVRE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons eu beaucoup d'animation pendant trois journées sur les cotons et de bonnes affaires en cafés, cuirs et bois, le tout à des prix très-fermes. Un peu de faiblesse sur les saindoux.\n\nCOTONS, --Notre marché cotonnier a ouvert dans de meilleures dispositions vendredi, et les affaires ont été plus suivies. Elles sont encore plus animées par la suite, sur le reçu de dépêches annonçant une grande raideur sur les prix aux États-Unis. Lundi, le marché est resté très-actif avec hausse de 2 francs sur les cours de vendredi, tant pour les Louisiane que pour les Surate. La demande s'est un peu calmée mercredi. On clôture dans ces dispositions, les grosses recettes continuant en Amérique et les dépêches de Liverpool étant plus froides. Le livrable a également débuté avec plus d'animation et de fermeté, et il donne lieu à des affaires excessivement importantes à des prix en hausse dans les journées de samedi, lundi et mardi. Un grand nombre des opérations traitées pendant ces trois jours, n'ont pas été cotées à terme.

Bemarquons que la tenue du portefeuille, même en décomptant l'influence de la fin de mois, est bonne pour la saison, car, généralement, la première moitié de décembre est un motif de baisse pour cette nature de compte, sauf la revanche à se produire grassement en janvier. \n\nLa Chambre de compensation a échangé, en novembre 1876, pour 197,665,601 francs d'effets de tous genres; sur le même mois des quatre années antérieures, il n'y a que 1873 qui soit plus élevé (206 millions); les années 1872, 1874 ot 1875 n'ont atteint, pour cette période mensuelle, que des chiffres inférieurs: 160, 131 et 185 millions. \n\nBILAN DE LA BANQUE D'ANGLETERRE \n\n30 novembre 1876. \n\nPASSIF Billets créés........... 43.623.170 \n\n1.

Tout compte fait, peu de variations. Le rapport de l'encaisse au passif à vue est à 61,04 0/0 an Tien de 60.53 0/0 il y a huit jours. La différence est peu sensible. \n\nTotal égal (actif et paesi.. \n\non n'a. \n\nOn voit que la combinaison adoptée chez nos voisins, combinaison qui cadre parfaitement avec la liberté et sup- plée, avec avantage, la loi si défectueuse que les adver- sairés de la pluralité des banques d'émission trouvaient déjà trop libérale, favorise le développement de la circulation tout comme l'unité de banques. Si on avait agi ainsi en France en 1848, la province ne subirait pas aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'opérations, le joug si pesant de Paris pour être édifié à cet égard, qu'à se rappeler le régime des succursales de la Banque de France et le comparer àt celui des comptoirs de la Banque nationale belge qui an moins a eu le bon esprit d'introduire les principes de self government dans ses règlements avec ces derniers (Voir Economiste Français da 29 janvier 1876, page 154). Mais avec la liberté telle qu'elle existe en Suisse, on est plus sûr d'atteindre ce résultat sans coup férir. En Belgique, une loi, bien qu'improbable comme vote, pourrait faire perdre tout le progrès conquis; en Suisse if est plus assuré. \n\nIl ne sera pas sans utilité de comparer la situation des principaux éléments de la richesse publique et du crédit de l'Etat, à une même époque, pour les cinq dernières années. \n\npen. 3 DEC. 2 pc. 1873 1874- 1875 \n\n30 sov. 1876 \n\nmillions. millions. millions. millions. millions. \n\n2.883.8 2.385.3 2.635.0 \n\n2.617.2 2.400.4 \n\n3.168.4 323.5 \n\nDATES \n\ndes \n\nBILANS \n\nENCAISSE \n\nMÉTALLIQUE \n\n| BILLETS EN CAISSE \n\ndes diverses banques \n\nET DU YWESOR \n\n| PORTEFEUILLE \n\nCOMMERCIAL \n\nAVANCES SER TITRES \n\nBILLEYSIG \n\nEN CIRCULATION \n\nDÉPOTS A VUE \n\nDEPOTS A TERME \n\nDONNIE \n\nRAPPORT \n\nde l'encaisse au pass \n\nMILLIONS DE \n\n7542.1 \n\n55.9379.21 \n\n58.8 360.5 38.8 351.6 60.5 951.4 \n\n58.21 361.8i \n\n59.7 337.81 57.8 869.2) \n\n57.2 397.0 \n\n54.0 456.9) \n\nREICHSMARK. \n\n48.9 665.6 155,01 75.8 47.8 659.8.109.8 74.33 44.9 650.8 177.9 78.5) 45.9 659.4.189.0 71.3 46.3 668.9'191.6) 70.6) 45.8671.8.185.0 69.7 45.9 709.6.168.0 68. 38.0 777.7168. 51.3 765.5 177.8] \n\n.91 473.2) 46.0 732.2 169.9 59.945 \n\n40.

Il est de tradition que, pour que la Banque d'Angleterre songe à recourir à la hausse du taux de l'escompte, il faut que ladite réserve tende a tomber au-dessous du tiers des comples courants du Trésor, des administrations publiques et des particuliers cumulés. \n\nLes Etats-Unis pour la plus forte partie et la Plata pour une somme moindre ont retiré, de là banque d'Angleterre, la majeure partie du million de liv. sterl. dont l'encaissé a baissé depuis huit jours. C'est par les comptes particu- liers et la circulation que ce retrait s'est opéré; il en ré- sulte naturellement une diminution de 771,750 liv. st. de la réserve, diminution qui eût été plus forte si le compte courant des administratious publiques ne s'était pas aceru de 301,451 liv. st. Somme toute, la proportion, de la ré- serve aux comptes courants réunis, est de 53.45 0/0 au Tien de 54.64 0/0 il y a huit jours, celle de l'encaisse au passif à vue de 49.93 0/0 au lieu de 50.66 0/0 la semaine dernière. La Banque d'Angleterre a résisté à la tentation de rehausser le taux de son escompte. C'est courageux de sa part, ear on la conseillait chaudement de le faire. \n\nLes échanges au \"Clearing-House, à Londres, ont roulé, celte semaine, sur 80,812,000 liv.st. contre 199.724,000 liv. st., il y a un an, à pareille époque.

A Paris, la situation de la Banque de France, au point de vue des affaires, est meilleure. La Bourse est indécise, ne baissant pas, mais ne pouvant so résoudre à la hausse. \n\nEn 1875, les marchés monétaires étrangers sont faciles et les taux d'escompte tendent à se maintenir bas. A Paris, il y a, au contraire, un leger resserrement. Les affaires commerciales et financières vont bien, mais on est encore sous le coup de l'impression produite par l'achat par le gouvernement anglais de 176,602 actions du canal de Suez appartenant au khédive et de l'envoi en Égypte de M. S. Cave. \n\nEn 1876, les craintes de Finsuccès de la conférence pour empêcher la guerre continuent à dire vives; elles sont compliquées à Tintérieur de difficuliés pouvant amener de modifications ministérielles. Argent abondant, et liquidation s'annonçant facile, mais commençant en baisse. Du mieux du côté de l'Égypte.",

La fin du mois et les reports avaient inquiété un instant le marché du papier; on abordait 2 à 2 1/4 pour les banques ordinaires et le haut commerce, et 1 1/8 pour la haute banque. C'était, si on se rappelle les chiffres de notre dernière revue, 3/4 de hausse sur les uns, 1/8 sur le dernier. On s'est calmé depuis deux jours; le papier de bon commerce vaut encore 2 à 2 1/4 0/0, mais celui de banque ordinaire est tombé à 1 3/4 et celui de haute banque 1/2 0/0. Cela peut faire espérer, si les besoins à Londres ne s'accentuent pas, une bonne fin d'année si l'on peut, toutefois, appeler bonne une faiblesse de taux d'escompte due à la stagnation des affaires, causée elle-même par les appréhensions de la politique extérieure.\n\nBOURSE DE PARIS. - Voici les fluctuations quotidiennes du 5 0/0 et du 3 0/0 au comptant et à terme :\n\nCOMPTANT\n\n5 0/0\n\n3 0/0\n\nPl. haut\nPl. bas\nDernier\nPl. haut\nPl. bas\nDernier\n\n500\n502\n50\nV.Lyon, 1865\n5 0/0 j. juil. 76\nLa.\n\n500\n499\n\n70 5/0 i. 30 sept. 76\nLn.\n1500\n\n500\n506\n50\n500\n442\n50\n\n1872\n5 0/0 j. août 76\nLu.\n1000\n993\n1000\n\n1000\n996\n\n505\n513\n\n500\n498\n500\n500\n\nV.

Il n'y a pas d'autre raison, car les recettes sont les mêmes et il s'agit ici de valeurs classées et non à placer.\n\nLes recettes brutes hebdomadaires des chemins de fer français, prises en prises en bloc, ne sont guère moins bonnes en 1876 qu'en 1875, mais c'est tout, et il y a purement arrêt dans la baisse, sans amélioration sérieuse dans les résultats. Voici les chiffres:\n\nA l'ancien réseau, il y a augmentation de 14.24 % sur le Midi, 7 % sur l'Ouest, 4.51 % sur l'Orléans, 3.25 % sur l'Est, et 2.70 % sur le Lyon, et diminution de 6.83 % sur le Nord. An nouveau réseau, augmentation de 21.76 % sur le Midi, 4.16 % sur l'Ouest, 3.46 % sur l'Est, et 2.63 % sur Orléans, et diminution de 2.03 % sur le Nord et 6.40 % sur le Lyon. La ligne du Rhône au Mont-Cenis (Lyon) et les chemins Algériens (Lyon également), ont, la première, diminué de 0.02 % et, les derniers, augmenté de 22.06 %. Les lignes de Lille à Valenciennes, du Nord-Est et de Lille à Béthune, exploitées par le Nord, sont en augmentation, respectivement, de 177.30 %, 88.27 % et 2.23 %. En dehors des six grandes compagnies, nous avons, pour les lignes d'intérêt général tout d'abord, augmentation de 44.21 % sur la ligne des Sables-d'Olonne à Tours (Vendée), 19.99 % sur le Vitré à Fougères, 4.87 % sur le Médoc, 2.42 % sur la Dombes (Sud-Est), et 0.50 % sur les Charentes, réseau entier, et diminution de 7.37 % sur la ligne de Sedan-Lérouville, appartenant à la compagnie de Lille à Valenciennes. - Quant aux lignes d'intérêt local, elles nous fournissent les augmentations suivantes: 57.16 % sur la ligne de Poitiers à Saumur (Vendée), 39.08 % sur la ligne de Falaise à Berjou-Pont-d'Ouilly (chemins normands), 17.48 % sur l'Orléans à Rouen et 0.99 % sur Caen à la mer (propriété privée). En fait de chemins étrangers, nous avons des augmentations de 20.98 % sur le Nord de l'Espagne (réseau propre), 17.33 % sur le Pampelone-Barcelone et 1.82 % sur les chemins portugais, et des diminutions de 4.90 % sur les chemins autrichiens, 2.61 % sur le Sud de l'Autriche (chemins lombards); 23.13 % sur le Madrid-Saragosse-Alicante-Séville, et enfin 53.20 % sur l'Alar-del-Rey à Santander, appartenant au Nord de l'Espagne.\n\nEn somme, voici, depuis le commencement de l'année, c'est-à-dire pour les 46 premières semaines écoulées, les résultats de 1876 comparés à ceux de 1875 :\n\n% 3.95 3.26 Chemins Algériens + 6.98 ע 500 17750 Auiches, 1. nov. 186......

Ce traité a pour effet d'adjoindre aux actionnaires du Crédit foncier les actionnaires du Crédit agricole. Après l'annexion de ces actionnaires et avec un capital social porté à 130 millions, dont 65 millions versés, le Crédit foncier continuera exclusivement les opérations qui lui sont propres. Le traité a été ratifié par les deux assemblées au Crédit agricole par 35 voix contre 10 voix, et 15 voix d'abstention; au Crédit foncier par 418 voix contre 10. L'échange des actions du Crédit agricole contre les actions du Crédit foncier s'opérera moyennant un versement de 350 francs, dont 125 francs payables le 1er avril 1877 et 75 francs les 1er avril 1878, 1879 et 1880.\n\n(615)\n\nRue de Richelieu, 102, à Paris.\n\nEt dans toutes les pharmacies.\n\nLES\n\nCAPSULES-MOTHES\n\n(578-1)\n\nSAMEDI 2 DECEMBRE 1876,\n\nEAU & POUDRE DENTIFRICES\n\nMAISON DU\n\nDOCTEUR PIERRE.\n\nDe la Faculté de Médecine de Paris.\n\n8, PLACE DE L'OPÉRA, 8\n\nMédaille de mérite à l'Exposition de Vienne 1873.\n\nAVIS\n\n(578-9)\n\nLes DENTIFRICES LAROZE, dont l'usage est universel, sont les meilleur marché de tous les Dentifrices.

Il serait inutile de parler ici des ressources de la Turquie elle n'a que celles que donne à des constitutions jadis robustes, mais épuisées, le désespoir dans une lutte où la vie est menacée. Il serait difficile d'évaluer la force de résistance que ce désespoir peut fournir; mais on ne doit pas la dédaigner.\n\nQuant à la Russie, c'est une nation jeune, pleine d'avenir, qui fut ébranlée il y a vingt ans par des efforts précoces. Depuis lors elle s'est relevée, fortifiée, développée; c'est peut-être la puissance qui, dans le dernier quart de siècle, a fait le plus de progrès sociaux et économiques. L'émancipation de la population rurale, le commencement et l'heureux fonctionnement jusqu'à ce jour de l'opération du rachat des terres par les serfs, la conquête de l'Asie centrale, la création d'un réseau de voies ferrées qui atteint 19,000 kilomètres, la constitution de l'équilibre financier: voilà certes de bien grands résultats pour vingt ans de recueillement.\n\nNous avons déjà plusieurs fois écrit sur les finances russes, mais nous ignorions le plus récent budget qui ait été réglé, celui de l'exercice 1875. Le ministère des finances de Saint-Pétersbourg a bien voulu nous envoyer le rapport du Contrôle de l'empire sur le règlement définitif de ce budget. C'est ce document que nous allons analyser.\n\nNous comprenons que l'administration russe, face d'une crise imminente pour la Russie, se soit empressée de porter à la connaissance du public les résultats de l'exercice 1875 : ils sont, en effet, singulièrement favorables. Les recettes se sont élevées, dans cette année, à 576 millions de roubles, et les dépenses n'ont atteint que 543 millions de roubles, ce qui laisse un excédant de 33 millions de roubles : cet excédant est considérable, puisqu'il atteint à peu près 6 % des recettes totales.\n\nNos lecteurs nous demanderont peut-être ce que vaut le rouble. Ici nous avouons un grand embarras. Le rouble d'argent vaut environ 4 francs; mais il s'agit ici de roubles en papier-monnaie déprécié et à cours variable.

Quoi qu'il en soit, si nous calculons la valeur du rouble de papier d'après le cours antérieur aux derniers événements, nous voyons que le budget russe, pour l'exercice 1875, a présenté un chiffre de recettes de 2,006,000,000 de fr. environ, un chiffre de dépenses de 1,900,000,000 de francs et un excédant de recettes de 105,000,000 de francs.\n\nCette situation est très-favorable, on n'en peut douter. Si l'empire russe conservait la paix, son organisme économique deviendrait chaque jour plus solide; il trouverait largement du crédit au dehors pour tripler son réseau de chemins de fer et le porter, avec le temps, à 55,000 kilomètres; il augmenterait notablement ses ressources agricoles, et sans doute parviendrait à retirer une grande partie de la masse de 2 milliards de billets de crédit ou de papier-monnaie à cours forcé, qui sont une si grande entrave pour les transactions. Mais un vent de guerre a soufflé qui menace d'ébranler et de renverser cet édifice encore singulièrement instable.\n\nSuivant une loi générale, qu'a constatée la science des finances, les recettes du Trésor se sont accrues chaque année dans l'empire russe, comme dans toute nation prospère.

Ce sont les grands travaux publics, c'est le développement du commerce et de l'industrie, qui sont les causes de ces plus-values annuelles. Le budget russe a ceci de particulier, que les impôts directs n'y tiennent qu'une faible place, et que, notamment, plus du tiers du revenu public est fourni par le seul impôt sur les boissons. Voici, pour les dernières années, le rendement des principales branches de recettes.\n\n1873 millions de roubles\n1874 millions de roubles\n1875 millions de roubles\n\nPatentes de commerce\n13.5\n13.8\n14.6\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nne pas fatiguer le lecteur. On saisit immédiatement, d'après ce tableau, l'économie du budget des recettes de la Russie. Les impôts directs produisent fort peu: 131 millions de roubles, c'est-à-dire (au cours de 3 f. 50 c.) 450 millions de francs environ. Ils sont de plus stationnaires; dans une année qui ne figure pas au tableau ci-dessus, en 1871, les impôts directs avaient produit davantage : 134 millions et demi de roubles. N'allez pas croire, cependant, que la propriété soit peu chargée en Russie; un écrivain \"fort compétent, qui a beaucoup étudié et qui aime la Russie, explique, dans un intéressant article de la Revue des Deux Mondes, que la terre y est fort grevée : c'est qu'aux impôts perçus pour l'Etat se joignent les annuités pour le rachat par les serfs des terres qui leur ont été allouées sur les anciens domaines des seigneurs; c'est que, en outre, le mode de culture des terres est, en Russie, très-défectueux par suite du communisme agraire qui est la règle habituelle (1).\n\nLes impôts indirects n'ont pas non plus en Russie la même distribution qu'en Occident. On dit souvent qu'en France, les impôts indirects dépassent deux milliards de francs; mais parmi ces impôts réputés indirects figurent des taxes qui ne portent pas sur les objets de consommation: notamment les droits d'enregistrement et de timbre, qui produisent six cents millions de francs. En Russie, presque toutes les taxes indirectes sont des taxes de consommation; une seule, celle sur les boissons, produit 200 millions de roubles, ou nominalement 800 millions de francs, 700 millions de francs au cours de 3 fr. 80 c.\n\nIl serait malaisé de dire si l'Etat doit se réjouir ou s'attrister du développement de la productivité de l'impôt sur les boissons, d'autant plus qu'en Russie ce n'est pas le vin, mais l'alcool qui fournit la presque totalité du revenu de cette taxe. L'ivrognerie est le grand défaut de la population moscovite. On ne peut espérer qu'un subit changement s'opère dans les habitudes des paysans russes et que, par contrainte morale, ils cessent de boire. Mais une grande guerre, avec son accompagnement habituel de misères et de mortalité, ne peut que réduire dans d'assez fortes proportions le produit de toutes ces taxes sur les consommations populaires.\n\nToutefois, ce n'est pas du côté des recettes, c'est du côté des dépenses que l'on peut avoir des alarmes sur la solidité des budgets russes. Il ne serait pas impossible que les recettes ne faiblissent pas dans des proportions considérables; il est probable qu'on aura des difficultés à les augmenter, mais on pourra les maintenir au niveau actuel en introduisant quelques taxes nouvelles et en élevant le taux de quelques taxes anciennes.\n\nLe côté des dépenses est plus sombre. Voici quelles ont été, d'après les règlements de comptes, les dépenses des derniers exercices :\n\nAnnées\nDépenses effectuées, en millions de roubles\n\n1871\n499.7\n\n1872\n323.0\n\n1873\n339.1\n\n1874\n543.3\n\n1875\n543.2\n\nC'est parce que la progression des dépenses n'a pas été très-considérable dans ces dernières années, que le budget russe présente un considérable excédant de recettes.

Plusieurs chapitres de dépenses offrent, en effet, de grandes réductions en 1875, relativement à 1874 : le ministère des finances, par exemple, et celui des voies de communication. Le ministère de la marine est stationnaire, et celui de la guerre n'est pas en grande augmentation. Au contraire, le service de la dette s'accroît, ayant exigé 107 millions de roubles (428 millions de francs nominaux) en 1875, au lieu de 100 millions et demi de roubles en 1873.\n\nOn ne peut dire que les dépenses des ministères de la guerre et de la marine soient exagérées pour un aussi vaste empire et dans la situation actuelle des armements européens. Les 175 millions de roubles du ministère de la guerre n'ont jamais représenté plus de 612 millions de francs (au cours de 3 fr. 50 c.), et les 25 millions de roubles du ministère de la marine équivalaient à peine à 87 millions de francs. C'est donc environ 700 millions de francs, que la Russie dépenserait annuellement pour ses forces militaires. La France consacre aujourd'hui certainement un milliard par an aux mêmes services, si l'on comprend les crédits du compte de liquidation.\n\nLes budgets de la Russie, examinés en eux-mêmes et en tant que budgets de paix, sont donc fort rassurants. Ils le sont d'autant plus que l'amortissement fonctionne avec une certaine énergie. D'après le rapport que nous avons sous les yeux, de 1870 à 1875 inclusivement, on aurait remboursé des titres de la dette pour la somme considérable de 88 millions de roubles, ou 352 millions de francs nominaux. Il est vrai que l'on a contracté en même temps une dette nouvelle, mais les sommes provenant de celle-ci ont été employées à des travaux publics.\n\nOn nous dit aussi que le nombre des billets de crédit, ou du papier-monnaie en circulation, a été notablement réduit. Au 1er janvier 1875, ce papier représentait une somme de 556 millions de roubles (2 milliards 224 millions de francs); au 31 décembre de la même année, il ne s'élevait plus qu'à 516 millions de roubles (2 milliards 64 millions de francs).\n\nLe rapport sur le règlement de compte du budget de 1875 nous montre donc les finances russes sous un jour beaucoup plus favorable que ne le faisaient les documents antérieurs; cela est incontestable. Quelle pourra être l'influence d'une guerre sur cette prospérité naissante? c'est ce que nous rechercherons dans un prochain article.\n\nPAUL LEROY-BEAULIEU,\n\nLA DOUANE DE PARIS. L'octroi de Paris a été étudié l'année dernière dans les colonnes de l'Économiste Français (1). Il semble que le mot d'octroi ne doive éveiller dans l'esprit d'autres idées que des idées fiscales; mais, en y réfléchissant bien, on s'aperçoit que les barrières dressées à l'entrée de nos grandes villes ont un autre résultat que celui de rendre possible la perception de certains impôts de consommation. L'octroi frappe les matières premières de l'industrie, qui voit ainsi surélever le prix de revient de sa fabrication. A ce point de vue, on reconnaît tout d'abord que Paris est semblable à un Etat d'une immense importance par sa richesse et qu'une douane sévère enserre soigneusement. Si on examine encore davantage l'immense ville, on reconnaît qu'elle possède une douane importante constatant son commerce spécial avec l'étranger, commerce qui a ses oscillations pour ainsi dire parallèles à celles du commerce total de la France. Il y a dans cet ensemble de faits un sujet d'études qui peut être intéressant.\n\nLa douane de Paris ne vient qu'au quatrième rang, après le Havre, Marseille et Boulogne: ces trois grands passages des marchandises d'Amérique, d'Angleterre et d'Orient; mais Paris possédant une sorte d'autonomie ne sert guère de transit entre l'étranger et le reste de la France; il absorbe les marchandises ou les transforme.\n\nL'idée de reporter fictivement la frontière à l'intérieur dans certaines villes est excellente, mais surtout en ce qui concerne la ville de Paris, dont le commerce d'exportation est si considérable. On lui a donné l'organisme complet des grands ports de commerce: douane pour la perception des marchandises qui entrent et qui sortent; entrepôt pour celles sur lesquelles on ne veut pas payer immédiatement les droits d'entrée, enfin, admission temporaire. Un premier coup d'œil jeté sur le système douanier parisien indique que l'industrie de la capitale s'exerce avant tout sur les matières les plus précieuses; car si Paris occupe le quatrième rang parmi les douanes au point de vue de l'importance du commerce avec l'étranger, il est à un rang absolument inférieur si on mesure l'importance des villes douanières par les milliers de tonnes transportées. Une grande valeur sous un petit poids, tel est le caractère des importations et des exportations de l'industrie parisienne.\n\nEn ce qui concerne le chiffre total d'échange entre Paris et l'étranger, disons que l'année 1873 a été de 848 millions, dont 342 pour l'importation et 506 pour l'exportation. C'est une somme qui égale à elle seule le commerce extérieur de l'Espagne et du Portugal.\n\nOn recherche volontiers dans le mouvement du commerce extérieur des indices pour juger de la situation économique de la France. Paris, dont les destinées ont toujours reflété celles du pays, doit, par son commerce avec l'extérieur, indiquer quelle est la situation générale. A ce point de vue, deux époques sont utiles à étudier : l'époque des traités de commerce et celle de la guerre étrangère et de la guerre civile qui désolèrent les années 1870 et 1871. Les conséquences économiques de ces divers faits doivent se retrouver en chiffres dans les registres de la douane parisienne. On va donner ici les entrées et les sorties pendant l'année 1839, qui a précédé immédiatement le régime de la liberté commerciale, et pendant les cinq années qui l'ont immédiatement suivi; les calculs sont faits en millions.\n\nImportations\nExportations\n\n1859\n73\n280\n\n1860\n79\n317\n\n1861\n109\n265\n\n1862\n121\n307\n\n1863\n127\n333\n\n1864\n136\n361\n\nOn voit par ces chiffres que Paris a tiré immédiatement bénéfice de l'abaissement des barrières douanières, en augmentant son importation. La catégorie de marchandises qui s'est élevée le plus vite est celle des tissus, qui, d'un peu plus de 2 millions en 1859, est arrivée à 27 millions en 1862. Il est bon de remarquer, au point de vue fiscal, que les recettes de la douane, en ce qui concerne l'importation, n'ont point été affectées par l'abaissement des droits perçus, qui, de 18 millions en 1859, sont arrivés à 24 en 1864. Mais l'exportation s'est comportée d'une tout autre manière, ainsi qu'on peut le voir par les chiffres ci-dessus.\n\nAprès un certain élan en 1860, elle est descendue en 1861 au-dessous de son niveau primitif, pour reprendre, il est vrai, l'année suivante, un mouvement ascendant comme l'importation. Il n'est pas inutile de chercher la cause de cette diminution. Elle se trouve surtout dans la catégorie tissus, passementerie, rubans de soie, qui, de 72 millions en 1859, tombe à 53 millions en 1861. Si on examine le compte spécial des Etats-Unis, on reconnaît que le chapitre tissus, passementeries et rubans de soie...\n\n719",

C'est là le motif de la dépression éprouvée par le marché parisien; une des conséquences de la guerre de sécession et de la fermeture du marché américain qui pèse encore sur la situation actuelle. Tels sont les enseignements que nous fournissent les registres douaniers parisiens en ce qui concerne le passage du régime de la protection à la liberté. Nous allons leur demander d'autres enseignements au point de vue des conséquences des années 1870 et 1871. Les calculs, comme précédemment, sont en millions.\n\nImportation.

En effet, le travail a été suspendu pendant neuf mois consécutifs; l'importation était moins grièvement atteinte, par le fait d'un mouvement nécessaire en ce qui concernait l'alimentation et les armes. Le relèvement, du reste, a été prompt, car le chiffre total d'importation et d'exportation, qui n'était que de 478 millions en 1869, est arrivé à 533 en 1872. Depuis, il a dépassé 800 millions, ainsi qu'on l'a déjà dit.\n\nPeut-être, en ces temps d'oscillations de la valeur des métaux, n'est-il pas sans importance de donner les chiffres de l'entrée et de la sortie des valeurs métalliques à la douane de Paris. Voici les totaux or et argent confondus; les calculs sont en millions.\n\nImportation. Exportation.\n\n1869. 67 17\n\n1870. 47 12\n\n1871. 32 74\n\n1872. 143 61\n\n1873. 450 40\n\n1874. 191 8\n\n1875. 191 8 (1)\n\nCes chiffres, plus encore que les précédents, reflètent les destinées agitées de la grande ville, aussi bien que celles de la France. L'importation des métaux diminue par suite des troubles. Paris avait reçu 67 millions de métaux précieux en 1869 et, en 1871, le chiffre n'est plus que de 32. A partir de cette époque, la masse importée est plus considérable que jamais; elle atteint plus de 191 millions en 1875. Quant à l'exportation, elle subit un mouvement inverse. Il est bon de remarquer que la douane de Paris a toujours reçu de l'étranger plus de métaux précieux qu'elle ne lui en a envoyés, excepté en 1871, où l'exportation a doublé l'importation. Les deux chiffres sont, du reste, exceptionnels; dans les six dernières années, Paris n'a jamais reçu aussi peu de métaux précieux et n'en a autant envoyé au dehors qu'en 1871 et 1872.\n\nAvant de quitter les chiffres généraux fournis par la douane parisienne, quelques remarques sont encore à faire. Les plus gros chiffres de l'importation pour Paris sont toujours ceux portés sous la rubrique: Tissus, passementeries, rubans de laine. Ce chapitre arrive parfois jusqu'à 30 millions. Puis viennent trois objets d'alimentation: le café, le sucre étranger et le cacao. Puis les tissus, passementeries et rubans de coton, arrivant souvent à 10 millions. La nomenclature générale contient une multitude d'articles, matières premières ou demi-manufacturées, que Paris renvoie à l'état consommable à l'étranger, de qui il les tient. Quant à l'exportation, les tissus, passementeries et rubans de soie ou de laine en forment la masse principale. Il y a toujours de ce chef plus de 100 millions. Puis viennent, dans l'ordre suivant, des articles absolument parisiens: mercerie et boutons, peaux ouvrées et préparées, habillements, pièces de lingerie cousues, orfèvrerie et bijouterie, etc.\n\nEnfin, il peut être intéressant de comparer le chiffre total du commerce extérieur de Paris et celui du commerce extérieur de la France. Voici les chiffres pour l'ensemble des douanes, et pour la douane spéciale de Paris. Les calculs sont toujours en millions.\n\nAnnée. Paris.

Il occupe le neuvième rang pour la quantité de tonnes entreposées, et le cinquième pour la valeur des marchandises qui transitent peu, à la différence de ce qui se passe dans les autres villes et sont consommées ou transformées sur place. L'entrée annuelle moyenne est de 35 millions, et la sortie de 25, soit 10 millions de marchandises existant dans les entrepôts. Les admissions temporaires pour Paris consistent surtout en fer, fonte, tôles et aciers, qui repartent à l'état de fonte moulée, articles de ferronneries, tels que clous, chaînes, ustensiles de ménage et en outils d'acier et objets de fantaisie de même matière. On admet encore temporairement une grande quantité d'étoffes de diverses natures.\n\nEn 1874, il est entré 383,000 kilogrammes de mérinos écru, estimés 4 millions 304,000 francs et qui sont ressortis imprimés et valant plus de 5 millions; 12,000 kilogrammes de châles écrus, valant 176,000 francs, sont repartis avec une estimation de 1 million 287,000 francs. Tel est, dans son ensemble, l'organisme douanier, établi à Paris et dépendant de l'administration centrale.\n\nDe prime abord, il semble que l'octroi municipal soit aussi pour la ville une sorte de ligne douanière permettant de se rendre compte de la totalité du mouvement commercial non constaté par l'Etat. Les villes libres du moyen âge, qui étaient des républiques autonomes, pouvaient chiffrer toutes les entrées et toutes les sorties. La ville des doges, Venise, avait sa douane, dogana. L'administration parisienne n'a eu en vue que l'application de taxes sur certains objets de façon à se procurer une certaine somme. Il a été expliqué ici que l'octroi n'a d'abord atteint que les objets d'alimentation. Lentement et sous l'empire d'impérieux besoins, on a frappé certaines matières industrielles. Il n'y a rien là de pareil aux états douaniers enregistrant toutes choses.\n\nPeut-être des quantités de boissons entrées pourrait-on tirer des déductions sur la marche de l'industrie. Mais les états sont récents. En 1872, on a 899 millions de kilogrammes; en 1873, c'est 896 millions, et, en 1874, on n'a plus que 673 millions. Ces chiffres subissent, dans une mesure parfois considérable, des modifications dues à la température.\n\nLa ville de Paris possède aussi ses entrepôts. L'un d'eux est le célèbre entrepôt des vins, situé près du Jardin des Plantes. Il en existe d'autres pour toutes les matières d'octroi, moins les boissons, les bestiaux, les charbons, etc. Il existe en outre 13 entrepôts fictifs, qui permettent d'entrer en franchise certaines matières et de les réexporter hors la ville, ainsi qu'on fait en matière d'admission temporaire et de réexportation avec l'étranger. Une partie seulement des matières premières de l'industrie parisienne devant subir ces formalités, les chiffres généraux ne semblent point utiles à connaître.\n\nTel est le mouvement de cette douane de Paris, dont les résultats annuels sont seuls publiés par l'administration, tandis que les états mensuels n'en parlent point. Il est pourtant plus considérable qu'en certains royaumes tout entiers, car la est, au point de vue des affaires, le cœur même de la France.\n\nACHILLE MERCIER.\n\nLA POPULATION DE L'EMPIRE D'ALLEMAGNE, PREMIERS RÉSULTATS PUBLIÉS DU DÉNOMBREMENT EFFECTUÉ\n\nLE 31 DÉCEMBRE 1875.\n\nLe bureau de statistique de Berlin vient de publier une partie des résultats du recensement général de la population fait le 31 décembre dernier.\n\nVoici le résumé de cette opération pour le royaume de Prusse.\n\nHanovre.... Westphalie. Resse-Nassau. Prov. du Rhin... Hohenzollern.\n\nDe toutes les provinces de la Prusse, ce sont les deux provinces de la rive gauche du Rhin où l'augmentation de la population a été la plus forte. Ainsi la Westphalie, qui, en 1871, comptait 1,778,175 habitants, en compte, en 1875, 1,907,195, soit une augmentation de 132,020 ou 7 1/2%. La province du Rhin, qui, en 1871, comptait 3,579,347 habitants, en compte, en 1875, 3,807,120; augmentation, 227,773, ou 6 1/3%.\n\nLes autres provinces sont loin d'arriver à des chiffres pareils, excepté la province de Brandebourg, dont l'augmentation a été de 1871 à 1875, de 269,325 habitants, soit 9 1/2%, chiffre dans lequel, il est vrai, Berlin et Charlottenbourg entrent pour 148,675.\n\nC'est aussi dans les provinces du Rhin et de la Westphalie que se trouvent le plus grand nombre de villes où l'augmentation de la population a atteint des proportions considérables.\n\nAinsi, sur 36 villes de l'Etat prussien au-dessus de 20,000 habitants, 18 appartiennent à ces deux provinces, et, parmi ces 18 villes, presque toutes ont fourni un accroissement de population variant de 10 à 34%.\n\nAinsi l'on peut voir, par le tableau suivant, que la population de Düsseldorf s'est accrue en quatre ans de 11,385 habitants ou de 16.41%\n\nCelle de Barmen......\n\nCologne\n\nKœnigsberg.\n\nDanzig\n\nMagdebourg.\n\nBarmen\n\n+\n\nKotbus.\n\nTrèves..\n\n721\n\n22.650 18.881 3.769\n\n22.042 21.442 600\n\n21.444\n\nLandsberg a.

L'attention de la Chambre des députés a été incidemment appelée, il y a quelques jours, à propos du budget des prisons (séance du 14 novembre), sur la grave question du travail pénitentiaire. C'est M. Guichard qui a pris en main la cause du travail libre, de plus en plus atteint par la concurrence désastreuse du travail des détenus de tout âge et de tout sexe. L'honorable député a commencé par citer des chiffres empruntés au dernier rapport officiel de M. le directeur de l'administration pénitentiaire. Ce rapport constate qu'en 1875, il y avait, tant dans les maisons centrales que dans les maisons d'arrêt, 28,012 ouvriers et ouvrières nourris et logés aux frais de l'État, et faisant aux ouvriers libres une concurrence contre laquelle ceux-ci sont hors d'état de lutter. Il a invoqué ensuite des faits déplorables dont il a été témoin : « des manufactures fermées, des centaines d'ouvriers mis du jour au lendemain sur le pavé, parce que les fabricants avaient traité avec les entrepreneurs des maisons centrales et obtenu ainsi les articles de leur fabrication à meilleur marché qu'en les produisant eux-mêmes. » Voilà donc une foule de braves gens qui peuvent, eux, leurs femmes et leurs enfants, se trouver tout à coup réduits à la misère, parce qu'un personnel de 28 ou 30,000 misérables, entretenus par l'État, garantis contre toute malchance de chômage ou de maladie, pour un temps d'autant plus long qu'ils sont plus coupables, viennent jeter dans la balance de la production et du salaire le poids de leurs méfaits ou de leurs crimes! \n\nIl y a là certes une iniquité flagrante, un véritable contresens moral; mais il y a aussi tout un monde de difficultés qui apparaissent de plus en plus effrayantes à mesure qu'on examine de plus près ce terrible problème de la répression du crime et de l'organisation pénitentiaire, le plus complexe peut-être de tous ces problèmes sociaux que des réformateurs présomptueux et naïfs se flattent de résoudre en quelques traits de plume. Il y a des siècles, hélas! que les législateurs, les philosophes, les philanthropes se creusent la tête et se mettent l'esprit à la torture pour arriver à une solution qui leur échappe sans cesse, et qui, je le crains, leur échappera toujours. \n\nLe crime est une de ces plaies du corps social que nous sommes condamnés à traiter par toutes sortes de remèdes plus ou moins rationnels, sous peine de les voir s'étendre et s'envenimer, mais dont nous ne pouvons attendre la guérison, si tant est qu'elles doivent jamais se cicatriser entièrement, que du progrès des mœurs, des institutions et de l'hygiène sociale, et surtout de ce grand médecin qu'on nomme le temps. La plaie est affreuse; les remèdes eux-mêmes sont douloureux; il faut bien en prendre notre parti: Dura lex, sed lex; ce qui ne doit point nous empêcher de chercher toujours le mieux, si laborieuse que soit cette recherche. \n\nLa Chambre n'a envisagé que par un de ses côtés, et non par le plus large, ce problème si complexe. La débat a porté principalement sur le point de savoir si le meilleur, ou le moins mauvais régime à appliquer au travail des détenus doit être le système de l'entreprise ou celui de la régie. M. Guichard s'est prononcé catégoriquement pour ce dernier, et ni les bonnes raisons, ni les hautes autorités ne lui ont manqué à l'appui de sa thèse. Il a pu invoquer l'opinion de M. Bérenger, président de la cour de cassation, et celle de la cour de Dijon. \n\nDans le système de l'entreprise, on le sait, l'administration traite avec un industriel qui, moyennant une allocation de tant par jour et par détenu que lui paie l'État, prend à sa charge le personnel d'une maison de détention ou de correction. En réalité, il devient le maître des détenus, à peu près comme le planteur est le maître de ses nègres, ou, si l'on veut, de ses coolies. Toutefois, l'adjudicataire a son cahier des charges, qui lui impose certaines conditions: il doit nourrir et vêtir ses travailleurs, et leur allouer un salaire, lequel, on le pense bien, est des plus modiques. De ce salaire on fait deux parts: l'une est payée chaque semaine au détenu, et il l'emploie à se procurer quelques douceurs; l'autre est réservée et ne lui sera remise qu'à sa sortie de prison: c'est le pécule qui doit lui permettre de subsister, en attendant qu'il trouve à s'employer. Les douceurs dont je viens de parler se trouvent à la cantine, dont l'exploitation est d'ordinaire concédée au même adjudicataire. L'unique but de celui-ci est, on le conçoit, de gagner de l'argent, et il l'atteint, soit en exploitant lui-même l'entreprise, soit en sous-traitant avec un autre entrepreneur. Les bénéfices, dans tous les cas, sont réalisés de la façon la plus simple et la plus sûre; car l'exploitant direct oblige ses produits à un prix de revient minime, ne payant la journée de travail que quelques centimes, dépensant peu pour la nourriture et le vêtement de son monde, rattrapant encore à la cantine une bonne partie de ce qu'il a payé, et vendant à très bon marché ce que ses confrères, qui emploient des ouvriers libres, sont obligés de vendre beaucoup plus cher. Ceux-ci se trouvent de la sorte aux prises avec un concurrent privilégié, contre lequel ils essaient d'abord de lutter, en réduisant de plus en plus leurs frais de production, à commencer par la main-d'œuvre, jusqu'au jour où, s'avouant vaincus, ils ferment leur établissement et renvoient leurs ouvriers. \n\nLes conséquences funestes de ce système, aussi contraire aux préceptes de la morale sociale qu'aux lois de l'économie politique, ne sont que trop évées, et c'est avec raison qu'en mainte occasion patrons et ouvriers ont fait entendre, contre la déplorable situation qui leur est faite, des réclamations énergiques. C'est surtout pour les ouvrières adonnées à des professions infimes que la concurrence des ateliers pénitentiaires adjugés à l'entreprise est un véritable fléau. Le lecteur trouvera à ce sujet, dans le livre de M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, sur le Travail des femmes au XIXe siècle (1), des chiffres irréfutables. Un honorable industriel de Nogent (Haute-Marne), M. Gustave Couvreux, dans une étude spéciale sur l'Éducation des jeunes détenus et le projet de loi de M. Félix Voisin, montre, de son côté, les effets désastreux, pour la coutellerie nogen-taise, de la concurrence inique faite à cette industrie par la colonie voisine de Courcelles. Cette colonie n'est autre chose qu'une grande manufacture de coutellerie, exploitée par un entrepreneur qui reçoit de l'État, avec une subvention annuelle de 87,000 francs, et des gratifications s'élevant au chiffre de 21,000 francs, un personnel de 300 enfants dont le travail lui est donné gratuitement par-dessus le marché. On se fait sans peine une idée des jolis bénéfices que peut réaliser un industriel dans de telles conditions, tout en vendant ses couteaux, canifs et ciseaux à un bon marché fabuleux. Celui-là peut, sans mentir, imprimer en tête de ses prospectus ces deux mots : concurrence impossible. \n\nEn effet, les autres fabricants, « ne pouvant, dit M. G. Couvreux, maintenir à leurs ouvriers l'ancien salaire, sont obligés de le réduire à des proportions qui ne sont plus rémunératrices pour ceux-ci; de telle sorte que les prix s'avilissent aux dépens de la qualité. Quant aux ouvriers travaillant isolément, c'est la ruine qui les attend, et l'on peut citer tels pays qui, faisant presque exclusivement les mêmes articles que Courcelles, verront leurs ouvriers obligés d'abandonner un travail qui, jusqu'à présent, a été leur seule ressource. Ainsi, la fabrication des rasoirs deviendra impossible dans les communes d'Is-en-Bussigny et de Romain, deux pays où quelques centaines d'ouvriers se livrent presque exclusivement à la cisellerie. — Il est facile de comprendre, ajoute notre auteur, avec quelle anxiété bien naturelle l'industrie locale voit grandir et s'étendre à côté d'elle, surtout contre les prescriptions mêmes de la loi actuellement en vigueur, une concurrence payée par l'État avec les deniers publics, qui sont aussi les siens. On peut prouver que la coutellerie de Nogent, qui est non-seulement l'honneur du département, mais de toute la France, recevrait là un coup mortel à tous les points de vue. Les pièces de coutellerie qui sortent de Courcelles, avec des différences de prix inabordables à nos ouvriers libres, vont circuler dans le monde entier sous le nom de coutellerie de Nogent, profitant de la réputation de cette coutellerie, acquise au prix de nombreux sacrifices. Et s'il est difficile d'admettre que l'État fasse cette concurrence, il est impossible de comprendre que ce soit l'État qui puisse fournir un aussi dangereux monopole à \n\n(1) Ouvrage couronné par l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques. 1 volume in-18. Paris, 1873: librairie Char-pentier. \n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876. \n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS, \n\nun entrepreneur, au préjudice de l'industrie locale, qui occupe 6,000 ouvriers, et fait vivre 15 à 20,000 personnes. » \n\nNous ne considérons ici le système de l'entreprise qu'au point de vue économique; nous réservons le côté, non moins sérieux, non moins digne d'attention, des devoirs de l'État envers la société qu'il doit protéger, et envers les détenus eux-mêmes, qu'il a mission de punir sans doute, mais aussi de moraliser et de relever. Notons que les intérêts de l'État lui-même ne sont ici guère mieux sauvegardés que ceux de l'industrie libre, et que les adjudications aux entrepreneurs sont presque toujours onéreuses pour le Trésor public. A ce système, M. Guichard a opposé celui de la régie, où l'État conserve l'administration économique de la prison, pourvoit lui-même à la nourriture et au vêtement des condamnés, et traite avec des fabricants auxquels il loue les ateliers et la main-d'œuvre des détenus, le prix de ce loyer est versé en partie entre les mains des détenus, les autres entre les mains du gouvernement. \n\nCette méthode est sans doute plus avantageuse pour l'État. « Dans cinq des maisons centrales où la régie avait été substituée à l'entreprise, écrivait il y a vingt-quatre ans le président Bérenger, cette substitution offrait, au 23 août 1832, les résultats suivants: Melun, en 9 années de régie, avait économisé, comparativement au système de l'entreprise, 448,023 francs, Gaillon, en 7 ans, 456,150 francs; Fontevrault, en 6 ans, 401,703 francs; Haguenau, en 2 ans, 77,128 francs; Clairvaux, en 4 mois, du 1er septembre au 31 décembre 1831, 39,583 francs. » \n\nDepuis 1852, assure M. Guichard, les choses n'ont point changé, et il apporte à l'appui de son assertion le témoignage de plusieurs cours d'appel. Celle de Dijon, entre autres, affirme la supériorité de la régie sur l'entreprise, non-seulement sous le rapport financier, mais aussi relativement à la discipline des prisons et à l'influence morale de l'administration sur les détenus. \n\n« Les condamnés les plus pervers, dit cette cour, comprennent très-bien le droit de l'État de prélever sur le produit de leur travail l'indemnité des dépenses de toute sorte que lui coûte leur entretien. Ils savent que, dans l'organisation de la régie, c'est-à-dire dans les fournitures faites par l'État, ou dans les ateliers qu'il ouvre, il ne cherche pas à exploiter leur situation pour s'enrichir à leurs dépens, et ne veut qu'alléger le poids de ses sacrifices. Ils savent aussi qu'il est intéressé à leur moralisation, à perfectionner leur éducation professionnelle, à leur procurer des travaux profitables et conformes à leurs aptitudes... \n\n» Le régime de l'entreprise, au contraire, éveille dans l'esprit des détenus de fâcheux soupçons. Ils n'ignorent pas que l'entreprise est une spéculation, et ils croient facilement qu'elle ne peut réussir que par les gains illicites réalisés à leurs dépens. Ils supposent que leur condition serait meilleure, soit pour l'alimentation, soit pour le travail, s'il ne fallait pas satisfaire l'avidité de l'entrepreneur. Ce sentiment de l'injustice commise à leur égard est très-regrettable, parce qu'ils font remonter leur ressentiment jusqu'à l'administration, au détriment de son autorité morale. » \n\nMais il ne suffit pas, selon M. Guichard, que l'État renonce au système de l'entreprise pour adopter celui de la régie; il importe encore de faire un choix entre les travaux auxquels doivent être employés les détenus, afin de réduire au minimum possible, sinon de supprimer tout à fait la concurrence des ateliers pénitentiaires aux ateliers libres. La mise en régie du travail des maisons centrales, combinée avec la confection des objets si nombreux, nécessaires aux ministères de la marine et de la guerre, voilà, selon l'honorable député, le moyen de faire cesser les abus dont tant d'ouvriers se plaignent justement. Et il faut remarquer que la suppression des compagnies d'ouvriers hors rang dans les régiments est une circonstance très-favorable à la confection par régie des objets que produisaient ces compagnies, et qu'en outre, les fournitures pour les hommes de la réserve et de l'armée territoriale, dont l'équipement est loin aujourd'hui d'être complet, serviront longtemps à alimenter le travail des maisons centrales, « sans porter atteinte au travail des maisons libres. » Je mets à dessein entre guillemets cette dernière phrase, afin de laisser à l'auteur la responsabilité d'une manière de voir qui pourrait bien manquer de justesse. \n\nM. Chopin, directeur des prisons et commissaire du gouvernement, a répondu à M. Guichard, et il faut bien reconnaître que sa réplique laisse subsister peu de chose de l'argumentation de l'honorable député. Ce n'est pas qu'on puisse non plus accepter sans réserve les assertions de M. Chopin. A l'entendre, le travail libre n'aurait rien à souffrir et rien à craindre de la concurrence des prisons; toutes les précautions seraient prises pour éviter l'avilissement des prix de main-d'œuvre et des prix de vente. « Il y a, dit-il, une garantie pour le travail libre; cette garantie, nous la trouvons dans les moyens qui sont usités depuis longtemps pour tarifer le travail des détenus. En effet, toutes les fois qu'un tarif de travail est adopté, il ne l'est qu'après de longues et minutieuses enquêtes, dans lesquelles sont entendus les chambres de commerce, les tribunaux de commerce les plus voisins de la maison centrale où il s'agit d'établir le travail. En sorte que les prix sont établis de telle manière que le travail des détenus soit rémunéré d'une façon aussi équivalente que possible au travail des ouvriers libres. \n\n« Aussi bien, ce que je puis affirmer, a ajouté M. Chopin, c'est que ce système fonctionne d'une façon tellement satisfaisante, que depuis que j'ai l'honneur de diriger l'administration pénitentiaire, je n'ai encore reçu qu'une seule réclamation, en ce moment encore pendante à l'instruction, sur la concurrence qu'un atelier de détenus, dans une maison centrale, fait à l'industrie libre d'une commune voisine. Je le répète, toutes les fois qu'une plainte de cette nature est portée à l'administration, elle est examinée avec le plus grand soin et avec l'intervention des chambres de commerce, des tribunaux de commerce, des chambres des arts et manufactures, qui sont les défenseurs des intérêts du commerçant et du travail libre. » \n\nJ'en voudrais bien croire sur parole l'honorable chef de l'administration pénitentiaire, et, en tous cas, sa parfaite bonne foi est ici hors de doute; il est fâcheux de voir qu'à l'appui de ses affirmations, il n'ait pas cru apporter quelques faits précis et quelques chiffres propres à fixer les idées, et à porter la conviction dans les esprits; car les faits et les chiffres ne manquent point malheureusement pour soutenir la thèse contraire, et ceux-ci sont de notoriété publique. \n\nMais où l'on ne peut guère ne pas donner raison à M. Chopin, c'est lorsqu'il montre, en premier lieu, que le fait de la concurrence inégale dont on se plaint étant admis, ce fait subsiste également, soit qu'on maintienne le système de l'entreprise, ou qu'on préfère celui de la régie, puisque, de part et d'autre, il y a également concession par l'État du travail pénitentiaire à des traitants, à des spéculateurs; en second lieu, que M. Guichard se fait illusion, lorsqu'il croit que la confection par les détenus des objets d'équipement nécessaires à l'armée et à la marine ne ferait aucun tort aux ouvriers libres. Actuellement, en effet, les ministres de la guerre et de la marine traitent, pour cette confection, avec des fabricants libres, qui emploient des ouvriers également libres; or il est clair que, le jour où les travaux que ceux-ci exécutent aujourd'hui seront réservés aux détenus, ce sera autant de perdu pour l'industrie privée. \n\nEn fait, il faut bien que les détenus travaillent; c'est là un principe qui n'est, que je sache, contesté par personne, et les ouvriers seraient sans doute les premiers à trouver fort mauvais que des coquins fussent nourris, logés, vêtus et entretenus gratuitement par l'État aux frais des contribuables, tandis que des millions d'honnêtes gens sont obligés de gagner péniblement leur vie par un travail qui ne leur suffit pas toujours pour se procurer le nécessaire. Dès que les détenus travaillent, ils font concurrence aux ouvriers et ouvrières libres, comme ils la faisaient avant, comme ils la feront après leur sortie de prison. Cela est inévitable, et cela est juste. Ce qui est injuste et que l'on doit éviter à tout prix, c'est que les détenus des maisons centrales, des maisons d'arrêt et des colonies pénitentiaires soient, entre les mains de spéculateurs privilégiés, des instruments au moyen desquels ceux-ci, faussant la loi de l'offre et de la demande, s'enrichissent à la fois aux dépens des travailleurs honnêtes et de l'État. Or, pour cela, s'il est vrai, comme le dit M. Chopin, et j'incline fort, je le répète, à me ranger de son avis, s'il est vrai que la régie produise, en définitive, les mêmes effets que l'entreprise, il n'y a qu'une seule chose à faire: c'est que l'État renonce absolument à l'un et à l'autre système, et accepte dans son entier la tâche qui lui incombe de nourrir, loger et vêtir les condamnés et de les occuper le plus utilement possible. Malheureusement, M. Chopin, tout en annonçant que l'administration s'est déjà mise en devoir d'étudier les améliorations à introduire dans le régime du travail pénitentiaire, et que dès à présent elle s'occupe de constituer, dans les grands ateliers, toujours ouverts, des maisons centrales une réserve de travailleurs qui, dans le cas où les ouvriers libres seraient appelés sous \n\n723",

Pourquoi? C'est ce qu'il n'a pas jugé nécessaire d'expliquer. Quant à l'organisation même du travail pénitentiaire, c'est là un autre côté de la question, que la Chambre n'a pas abordé et que je m'abstiens de discuter pour le moment. Je me borne, en terminant, à mentionner l'idée mise en avant par M. Martin Nadaud, qui ne voit pas pourquoi on ne ferait pas pénétrer dans les prisons le système de la participation. Cette idée n'est peut-être pas, à l'examiner de près, aussi impraticable qu'elle semble au premier abord, et il se pourrait bien qu'on y eût songé déjà, en appelant la chose d'un autre nom. Il est certain que des primes accordées, suivant une règle déterminée, aux travailleurs les plus laborieux et les plus habiles, pourraient produire, au point de vue de leur moralisation et de leur instruction professionnelle, de bons résultats; et si c'est là ce que M. Nadaud entend par le mot « participation », va pour la participation.\n\nARTHUR MANGIN.\n\nLE BASSIN HOUILLER DU NORD ET DU PAS-DE-CALAIS.\n\nV. (1).\n\nLA COMPAGNIE DES MINES DE BRUAY. LA CONCESSION DE MARLES.\n\nSituation topographique. — La concession des mines de Bruay est située dans le bassin du Pas-de-Calais. Son étendue est d'un peu plus de 38 kilomètres carrés (5 kil. 800 mètres de longueur sur 6 kil. 800 de largeur). Elle est limitée au nord par des terrains qui la séparent de celle d'Annezin; au sud, par le village d'Houdain; à l'est, par la concession de Noeux, et à l'ouest par la concession de Marles. Elle prend son nom du village de Bruay, situé dans la vallée de la Lawe; la population de ce village s'élevait à peine, lors des premiers travaux, à 700 habitants; aujourd'hui elle est de 4,000 âmes. La concession de Bruay s'étend sur douze communes, toutes situées dans l'arrondissement de Béthune. Elle est traversée par la rivière la Lawe, qui va se jeter dans le canal d'Aire à la Bassée. Elle est, en outre, reliée à la gare de Fouquereuil, station du chemin de fer du Nord, et au canal d'Aire à la Bassée, par un chemin de fer industriel qui a été concédé à la Compagnie de Bruay et construit par elle.\n\nHistorique. Une société de recherches pour la découverte de la houille, créée à la date du 1er septembre 1851, et dans laquelle on voit figurer M. Lecomte, député des Côtes-du-Nord, entreprit divers sondages dans la concession actuelle de Bruay. Ses premiers travaux consistèrent en divers sondages qui furent exécutés dans l'ordre suivant :\n\nLe 1er sur Bruay, le 2 décembre 1851;\n\nLe 2 sur Lapugnoy, le 20 décembre 1851;\n\nLe 4 sur Divion, le 17 mai 1852;\n\nLe 3 sur Labuissière, le 23 mars 1852;\n\nLe 5e sur Bruay, le 17 août 1852;\n\nLe 6 sur Bruay, le 27 septembre 1852;\n\nLe 7° sur Choques, le 12 mai 1853;\n\nLe 8 sur Fouquereuil, le 29 décembre 1854.\n\nCette société de recherche, après avoir constaté l'existence de la houille, demanda au gouvernement une concession sur les territoires que nous venons d'énumérer, et en même temps rédigea, devant notaire, les 14, 17 et 24 mai 1852, les statuts qui devaient régir la société définitive pour l'exploitation de cette concession. Ces statuts régissent encore la société actuelle. La concession définitive qui vise les statuts de la société Lecomte fut obtenue le 29 décembre 1855. La société Lecomte, aujourd'hui société des mines de Bruay, fut constituée au capital de 3 millions de francs avec 3,000 actions; mais, plus tard, les actions de 1,000 francs furent libérées à 400 francs, et le capital réellement versé par les actionnaires ne s'est élevé qu'à 1,040,000 francs. La société est gérée par un conseil d'administration composé de cinq membres nommés à vie. Elle possède actuellement quatre puits, tant en exploitation qu'en construction (le puits n° 2 est momentanément abandonné). Le puits n° 1 fut commencé le 27 décembre 1852; le puits n°2 fut commencé le 27 août 1858; le puits n° 3 fut commencé le 27 octobre 1860; le puits n°4, actuellement en enfoncement, fut commencé le 29 juin 1874. La formation de la houille ressemble à celle...\n\n(1) Voir l'Économiste Français du 7 octobre 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\n...des concessions voisines; elle est recouverte par des morts-terrains appartenant à l'époque tertiaire et mesurant une épaisseur de 100 à 150 mètres. Ces terrains renferment une grande quantité d'eau.\n\nProduction. Nous ne parlerons ici que de la production constatée pendant les cinq dernières années, de 1871 à 1875. Nous laisserons de côté l'extraction de la fosse n° 2, qui a été suspendue en 1868. Ce puits n'a jamais produit que 344,201 hectolitres pendant la durée de sa mise en activité. La compagnie n'a pas perdu l'espoir de reprendre plus tard son extraction; elle attend que les veines qu'il renferme en profondeur soient éclairées par les travaux des fosses n° 4 et n° 3, afin de juger si la nature des terrains et de la houille, ainsi que la puissance des veines, méritent qu'on entreprenne son approfondissement.\n\nLa production des puits n° 1 et n° 3 dans les cinq dernières années a été :\n\nAnnée\nFosse n° 1\nFosse n° 3\nTotal\n\n1871\n1.282.528 hectol.\n339.492 hectol.\n1.630.420 hectol.\n\n1872\n1.632.808\n575.872\n\n1873\n1.795.164\n792.276\n\n1874\n1.765.468\n807.926\n1.131.798\n\n1875\n\nLes veines reconnues à la fosse n° 1 sont au nombre de dix; elles représentent une épaisseur de houille de 9m,20. Les veines de la fosse n° 3, qui sont supérieures à celles de la fosse n° 1, sont au nombre de 9 jusqu'à la profondeur de 302 mètres; elles représentent une épaisseur de houille de 11,66.\n\nEn résumé, la Compagnie de Bruay, à la profondeur d'environ 300 mètres, possède, à la date du 30 juin 1875, 21 couches exploitables, représentant un massif de houille de 21 mètres d'épaisseur, et reconnues sur une largeur de 850 mètres. Il reste encore à explorer, tant au nord qu'au sud, une largeur de 5,500 mètres, où probablement on rencontrera des houilles grasses et demi-grasses. La fosse n° 2, qui a atteint une profondeur de 270 mètres, a recoupé trois couches de houille :\n\nLa 1re a une puissance de... 0,50\n\nLa 2e ... 1,20\n\nLa 3e ... 0,50\n\nMoyens de transport. - La Compagnie des mines de Bruay est située à environ 7 kilomètres du chemin de fer du Nord, sur la ligne des houillères, à laquelle elle se relie à la station de Fouquereuil: elle est distante d'environ 9 kilomètres du canal d'Aire à la Bassée. La situation topographique des mines de Bruay, éloignées du chemin de fer du Nord de 7 kilomètres et du canal de 9 kilomètres, aurait complètement empêché son développement si la Compagnie n'avait pas fait les dépenses nécessaires pour se relier tant au chemin de fer du Nord qu'au canal. Un décret, en date du 13 juillet 1868, accorda la concession d'un chemin de fer de 7 kilomètres à la Compagnie de Bruay, pour se relier à la Compagnie du chemin de fer du Nord à Fouquereuil. Un décret, en date du 13 octobre 1867, raccorde la fosse n° 3 au chemin principal des mines de Bruay; ce qui permet de transporter les produits de cette fosse à Fouquereuil. Enfin, un décret en date du 7 mai 1872 relie le chemin de fer des mines de Bruay au canal d'Aire à la Bassée. Cet embranchement permet à la Compagnie de Bruay d'expédier ses produits par les canaux. En 1871, la compagnie a fait creuser, sur le territoire de la ville de Béthune, un bassin pour l'embarquement de ses charbons. Ce bassin, qui communique directement au canal d'Aire à la Bassée, est destiné plus tard à être agrandi. Il a été creusé dans un terrain de 20 hectares environ, dont la Compagnie de Bruay est propriétaire. Ce travail a été fait sous la direction de M. Bertin, ingénieur en chef de la navigation, et de M. Vainet, ingénieur en chef des ponts et chaussées. Les divers chemins de fer appartenant à la Compagnie de Bruay ont une longueur de 14 kilomètres environ et mettent la Compagnie, auparavant déshéritée de moyens de transport, dans une, situation exceptionnelle.\n\nRenseignements statistiques et financiers. - La mise en valeur de la concession de Bruay a nécessité des capitaux considérables. A la date du 30 juin 1875, l'installation des quatre puits, les terrains, les maisons, les écoles, les ateliers, l'outillage, les chemins de fer, le bassin, y compris le fonds de roulement à cette date, etc., n'ont pas demandé moins de...

Fr. 2,878,803 87\n\nc'est-à-dire plus de quatre fois le capital social. Telles sont les ressources au moyen desquelles la Compagnie de Bruay, qui date à peine de vingt ans, a pu faire ces grandes dépenses dont quelques-unes ne seront productives, comme on vient de le voir, que dans quelques années.\n\nInstitutions philanthropiques. Comme les autres compagnies houillères du bassin du Pas-de-Calais, la compagnie de Bruay a bâti pour le logement de ses ouvriers et de son personnel des maisons saines et confortables. Elle en possède 350 qui sont louées moyennant un loyer qui couvre à peine les réparations d'entretien.\n\nLa compagnie a bâti une salle d'asile et des écoles pour les enfants de ses ouvriers, où il a été installé des caisses d'épargne scolaires depuis deux ans. Ces écoles sont fréquentées par 1,100 élèves, en y comprenant ceux qui suivent les cours d'adultes, et les jeunes filles qui vont à l'ouvroir pour la couture. Cet ouvroir est destiné à recevoir les jeunes filles qui ont reçu les notions de l'instruction primaire. Les diverses constructions, écoles et maisons, ont coûté, à la date du 30 juin 1878, une somme de 1,199,441 fr. 53 c. Les ouvriers reçoivent, en outre, le charbon destiné à leur chauffage. Dans le but de faire baisser le prix des objets nécessaires à la consommation de ses ouvriers, la Compagnie de Bruay a favorisé la création d'une société coopérative. Les résultats ont dépassé ses espérances; les prix de la viande, des denrées, ont été maintenus dans des limites très-raisonnables; les membres de la société, tout en recevant 3 % de leur capital, ont pu constituer des réserves importantes qui atteignent à ce jour près de trois fois le capital; en outre, depuis plusieurs exercices, les sociétaires se partagent, chaque année, au prorata de leur consommation, un dividende égal au capital social. Cette société coopérative à laquelle la compagnie attache la plus grande importance, est sous le contrôle de M. Dincq, un des administrateurs de la compagnie. Dans son personnel, la compagnie de Bruay a recruté les éléments d'une excellente fanfare, à laquelle elle accorde des subventions. La compagnie de Bruay a créé une caisse de secours qui est exclusivement à sa charge. Elle ne fait pour cette caisse aucune retenue sur le salaire des ouvriers. Cette caisse, indépendamment des dépenses de l'instruction primaire, auxquelles elle pourvoit dans le sens le plus libéral, paie les dépenses afférentes: 1° au service de santé (soins du médecin et médicaments), 2° aux secours pécuniaires et en nature aux ouvriers malades ou blessés, 3° au service religieux; 4° aux pensions allouées aux anciens ouvriers, à leurs veuves et aux orphelins. La compagnie des mines de Bruay a appelé l'attention du congrès sur: 1° la machine d'extraction de la fosse n° 1 et la batterie de générateurs qui ont été installées en remplacement de l'ancienne machine et des anciens générateurs sans arrêter la marche de l'extraction; 2° les travaux de la fosse n° 3; 3° les travaux de la fosse n° 4; 4° son chemin de fer et sa gare d'eau établie à Béthune pour l'embarquement de ses charbons et la réception des bois.\n\nCONCESSION DE MARLES.\n\nHistorique. — La concession des mines de Marles, définitivement instituée par décret du 29 décembre 1853, en même temps que celles de Bruay et de Ferlay, occupe une superficie de 9 kilomètres carrés 90 hectares, répartis sur les territoires des communes de Marles, Calonne-Ricouart, Cauchy-à-la-Tour, Auchel, Lillers, Burbure, Allouagne et Lapugnoy. Un premier puits fut commencé en 1853 près de Marles, mais il s'écroula, pendant le fonçage, à la profondeur de 36 mètres, et on dut en recommencer un autre en 1854 (n° 2) à 30 mètres du premier. La nature excessivement douce des terrains et l'affluence considérable des eaux créèrent les plus grandes difficultés pour le passage du niveau; mais elles furent heureusement surmontées, et en 1858 on commençait à extraire. La fosse n° 2 était en pleine production depuis 8 ans, lorsque survint la catastrophe de 1866, que n'ont pas encore oubliée ceux qui s'intéressent aux questions de mines. Un fort mouvement se déclara dans le cuvelage à la profondeur de 56 mètres: quelques pièces s'étant détachées laissèrent échapper d'énormes filets d'eau, entraînant le terrain complètement désagrégé, et, malgré les mesures prises, le puits s'écroula dans la nuit du 2 mai, engloutissant le châssis à molettes, la machine d'épuisement, une partie des bâtiments de la machine d'extraction et des chaudières, et condamnant pour longtemps toute la partie de la concession exploitée par ce puits. Malgré cette catastrophe, la production poursuivit son développement normal, grâce à la forte impulsion donnée aux travaux du puits n° 3 Saint-Firmin, commencé en 1863 sur le territoire d'Auchel, et qui se trouvait prêt à être mis en exploitation au moment de l'accident; tous les ouvriers du n° 2 furent reportés au n° 3 et, sur la fin de 1866, on atteignait une production journalière moyenne de 4,500 hectolitres, beaucoup plus forte que celle de la fosse de Marles. Aussi l'extraction, qui était en 1863 de 62,487 tonnes, arrive à 84,469 en 1866 et s'élève à 99,619 tonnes en 1867 et 119,815 en 1868. En juin 1867 on commença les travaux de la fosse n° 4 (Saint-Emile) sur le territoire d'Auchel, dans la partie confinant aux champs d'exploitation du n° 2 des mines de Ferlay. Ce puits, mis en production en 1870, donna 32,000 tonnes en 1871 et 80,000 en 1872. La production des deux puits fut de 222,229 tonnes en 1872 et de 231,243 en 1873. Les débuts du n° 4 furent assez difficiles à cause de la nature accidentée du gîte; mais, grâce au grand développement donné aux travaux de recherche, l'avenir de ce puits est assuré et il est en mesure de fournir quotidiennement 5 à 6,000 hectolitres. En juin 1872, on commence les travaux d'un nouveau siège double, le n° 5, situé encore sur le territoire d'Auchel, à 1,100 mètres au midi du n° 3.\n\nLes travaux d'installation du premier puits sont à peu près terminés, et on compte pouvoir le mettre en extraction sur la fin de l'année. Le second puits arrive sur le terrain houiller.\n\nVoici un tableau de la production annuelle de chacune des fosses de la concession de Marles, à partir de 1858 :\n\nAnnées\nN° 2 Marles\nN° 3 Saint-Firmin\nN° 4 Saint-Emile\nProduction totale\n\n1858\n31,730\n\n31,730\n\n1859\n51,428\n\n51,428\n\n1860\n56,333\n\n56,333\n\n1861\n67,037\n\n67,037\n\n1862\n64,074\n\n64,074\n\n1863\n71,225\n\n71,225\n\n1864\n41,568\n62,487\n\n1865\n\n84,469\n\n84,469\n\n1866\n\n99,619\n\n99,619\n\n1867\n\n119,815\n\n119,815\n\n1868\n\n119,833\n\n1869\n\n194,113\n\n1870\n\n125,198\n74,400\n130,596\n\n1871\n\n153,433\n32,000\n421,423\n\n1872\n\n144,303\n80,754\n222,230\n\n1873\n\n183,043\n83,199\n231,242\n\n1874\n\n144,967\n67,313\n212,285\n\n1875\n\n139,904\n21,608\n231,590\n\nGisement.

Elle possède 315 maisons, habitées par 875 ouvriers de toutes catégories, c'est-à-dire plus de la moitié du personnel employé. Pour recruter le nouveau personnel qui lui sera nécessaire lorsque les trois sièges complets seront en pleine activité, la compagnie devra encore construire d'ici à trois ans 400 à 480 maisons, soit un total de 915 à 963. L'établissement des nouveaux sièges d'extraction prévus ne fera qu'augmenter ce nombre. Comme toutes les compagnies des mines du Pas-de-Calais, celle de Marles a fondé une caisse de secours et installé des écoles à Marles et à Auchel pour l'instruction de sa population ouvrière.\n\nChemins de fer. La compagnie de Marles possède 14,500 environ de voies ferrées, reliant ses différents sièges d'extraction et l'ancienne fosse de Marles avec la gare de Chocques, située sur la ligne des houillères, et la gare de Lapugnoy, sur la ligne de Béthune à Saint-Pol. Cette dernière ligne, récemment mise en activité, traverse toute la région sud-est de la concession, dans laquelle la compagnie doit établir plus tard un ou deux puits, en se rapprochant des confins de la concession de Bruay. Le nouvel embranchement du n° 5 est fait en rails d'acier Bessemer; on en fera la substitution peu à peu sur le restant de l'ancienne ligne. La majeure partie des charbons de Marles s'expédie par chemin de fer. On en débite 230 à 300,000 hectolitres sur les carreaux des fosses et au dépôt de Chocques. Jusqu'à présent, les expéditions par bateau ont été très-peu importantes au petit rivage que la compagnie possède à Béthune et où les transports doivent encore se faire par voiture. Cette question de rivage n'a pas encore reçu de solution définitive, et la compagnie espère même par l'établissement de son port sec au n° 3 d'Auchel, et avec les débouchés que lui créent les voies ferrées nouvelles, n'avoir pas besoin de faire les frais d'une telle installation toujours très-coûteuse, ou de n'y recourir qu'à une époque encore assez éloignée.\n\nF. LAUR, Ingénieur civil des mines.\n\nL'INSTRUCTION PUBLIQUE EN ALSACE-LORRAINE (1).\n\nL'UNIVERSITÉ DE STRASBOURG,\n\nSi nous avons à nous plaindre beaucoup de la situation actuelle de l'enseignement primaire et secondaire, l'organisation de l'enseignement supérieur en Alsace-Lorraine est maintenant plus complète et constituée sur une base plus large que jamais. Si le gouvernement nous laissait la liberté pour les écoles privées, au lieu de s'abandonner à l'idée malheureuse de couler dans un même moule toutes les têtes de la jeunesse alsacienne, nous n'aurions que des éloges pour ses énergiques efforts en faveur du développement de l'instruction. A l'Université cependant, la liberté d'enseignement subsiste dans son acception la plus large, avec la libre concurrence comme corollaire et comme stimulant. Dotée largement, servie par des maîtres distingués, cette institution réunit les conditions pour favoriser les progrès de la science et sa diffusion rapide. Toutes les branches des connaissances humaines sont représentées dans son programme. Certaines branches comptent même plusieurs chaires, de manière à entretenir une émulation féconde entre les maîtres, émulation excitée par la concurrence des professeurs libres. Tout jeune homme peut ouvrir un cours à côté des professeurs en titre, certain de trouver parmi les élèves de l'Université un auditoire nombreux, s'il manifeste une supériorité réelle soit par l'importance de ses découvertes, soit par le talent de son exposition.\n\nAinsi, les talents les plus précoces peuvent se produire ou se manifester à l'avantage de la science, comme dans l'intérêt de l'enseignement, grâce à un afflux incessant de forces nouvelles. Nous avons trop souvent critiqué les actes de l'administration allemande pour ne pas rendre justice à ses innovations utiles et vraiment fécondes. Peut-être tout le monde n'acceptera pas sans réserve l'éloge de la nouvelle institution fondée dans le but avoué de germaniser le pays. Par le rétablissement de l'Université de Strasbourg, le gouvernement a voulu « consacrer la réunion de l'Alsace-Lorraine à l'Empire allemand, afin que l'esprit du peuple alsacien fécondé à nouveau reconnaisse son retour à l'ancienne patrie. » Dans l'esprit de ses promoteurs, l'Université forme « le lien qui unira le pays nouveau à l'Empire allemand. » L'unité nationale allemande a trouvé dans ces universités une première réalisation. C'est au sein des universités que se répand par toute l'Allemagne cet énergique sentiment d'unité nationale qui, malgré d'anciennes et profondes divisions, finit par enflammer la population de tous ses États et lui donne sa puissance actuelle. Mais les cœurs ne cèdent pas à la violence et ne se laissent pas prendre d'assaut par force comme une citadelle. La persuasion seule gagne les cœurs. Notre jeunesse, retenue par des sympathies qui survivent à la conquête matérielle, résiste encore à l'esprit allemand et évite les écoles chargées de lui inculquer cet esprit. Cette réserve et ces sympathies, nous les comprenons, sans méconnaître pour cela la valeur de la jeune université élevée au milieu de nous, ni sa force incontestable, ni ses promesses pour la science, ni sa supériorité sur les institutions qu'elle remplace, ni son organisation large et libérale, digne de servir d'exemple dans le mouvement engagé pour la rénovation de l'enseignement supérieur en France, sous le régime de la liberté nouvellement acquise sous les incitations de la libre concurrence. Sans contredit, l'Université de Strasbourg occupera désormais un rang distingué parmi ses rivales d'Allemagne.\n\nOn loue beaucoup les Universités allemandes. Elles le méritent. En affirmant leur supériorité manifeste sur la plupart des institutions similaires de France, nous ne sommes pas seuls de notre avis. Un de nos concitoyens les plus distingués, dont nul ne contestera ni la compétence, ni les vues libérales, ni l'ardent patriotisme, M. Charles Schutzenberger, soutenait la même thèse dans un livre (1) écrit, à la veille de la guerre et de l'annexion, en faveur de la réforme de l'enseignement supérieur. « Pas un de nos étudiants, écrivait alors le savant professeur de la Faculté de médecine de Strasbourg, pas un de nos étudiants revenant d'une tournée dans les Universités d'outre-Rhin, qui ne signale avec un sentiment d'amour-propre national froissé l'infériorité relative de nos institutions. » Elles « souffrent du manque absolu d'initiative et d'autonomie, qui entrave leur propre mouvement; leur situation est inférieure à celle des écoles allemandes..... Le personnel des facultés ne compose qu'un agrégat de fonctionnaires. Chaque professeur a sa tâche réglementaire tracée par le programme général de son cours. Ce cours fait avec l'ordre et la régularité voulue, il marge les appointements qui lui sont assignés, il n'a pas à s'immiscer dans l'administration. » Et ailleurs: « La science acquise et traditionnelle et les branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement se trouvent représentées par le corps des professeurs titulaires. Ceux-ci touchent un traitement fixe, aujourd'hui inférieur aux besoins les plus impérieux de la vie de famille..... L'enseignement pratique qui conduit à l'initiation des méthodes d'investigation et des recherches scientifiques n'existe pas. On apprend la botanique dans les livres, la chimie et la physique dans les cours théoriques, appuyés de quelques expériences faites par le professeur assisté de ses aides, la physiologie dans des leçons orales dépourvues d'expérimentation..... A toutes ces écoles, l'absolutisme de l'administration imprime un cachet d'infériorité légale et positive, tout en les décorant par ses propres règlements du titre d'institution du haut enseignement. »\n\nTelle était la situation de l'enseignement supérieur dans notre pays quand retentit ce cri d'alarme. Sous l'effet de la libre concurrence, l'enseignement secondaire florissait et répondait aux besoins de l'époque; mais le monopole exclusif du haut enseignement aux mains de l'État laissait en arrière les diverses Facultés de province. Ces établissements, parce qu'ils ne progressaient plus, allaient à la décadence ou revenaient en arrière, comme le nocher dont parle le poète latin.\n\nNon aliter quam qui adverso vix flumine lembum Remigiis subigit, si brachia forte remisit Atque illum in preceps prono rapit alveus amni.\n\nLa liberté d'enseignement et la libre concurrence réalisées dans toutes et entre toutes les Universités allemandes manquaient aux écoles supérieures de la France. Sous le régime du monopole, la vie s'était affaiblie dans nos centres d'instruction. Sous le stimulant de la concurrence et de la liberté, les écoles des pays voisins faisaient chaque jour de nouveaux progrès. Ce n'était pas que les ressources nous manquassent pour aller de l'avant. Nous manquions seulement du moyen de mettre ces ressources en valeur. Or, le moyen, pour l'avons dit, et nous le répétons, c'était, ce sera toujours la liberté.\n\nLa liberté jouit d'un merveilleux pouvoir. Dans le domaine de l'instruction, elle suscite d'abord l'émulation, principe du progrès. Avec l'émulation une fois excitée, viennent ensuite comme conséquence nécessaire ses moyens d'entretien de nature diverse. Partout s'établit la concurrence, concurrence entre les écoles rivales, concurrence au sein même de chaque école. Chaque école peut affirmer son succès par le renom de ses maîtres et le nombre de ses élèves.\n\nPour gagner ou pour retenir son auditoire, chaque professeur doit entourer son enseignement de plus d'éclat. La libre concurrence entre les écoles rivales engage chacune à multiplier les chaires, afin d'embrasser tout le cadre du savoir humain, tandis qu'à l'intérieur de chaque école, elle autorise, pour toutes les branches de l'enseignement, l'ouverture de cours libres et privés à côté du cours officiel des professeurs en titre. Les élèves choisissent leurs maîtres librement pour chaque branche du programme d'études, de même qu'ils sont libres d'entrer à l'école de leur choix. De là, comme conséquence, dérive la nécessité pour les professeurs d'améliorer sans cesse leur enseignement par de constants efforts, pour les écoles d'améliorer la position des professeurs de manière à accroître leur renom. Le secret du succès des Universités allemandes réside dans ces deux moyens. Ce n'est pas tout. Au lieu d'être soumises à une administration commune, les Universités de l'Allemagne se gouvernent elles-mêmes par des professeurs librement élus avec une grande liberté d'action et d'initiative, tout en recevant de l'État de larges subventions.\n\nConstituée sur le plan des autres Universités allemandes, la nouvelle Université de Strasbourg présente maintenant une organisation bien différente de celle de l'ancienne académie. Son personnel enseignant comprend trois sortes de professeurs: les professeurs ordinaires nommés par l'empereur, les professeurs extraordinaires nommés par le chancelier, les professeurs libres autorisés à faire des cours réguliers et publics par la Faculté. Les professeurs ordinaires représentent le personnel permanent et l'élément stable de l'institution. Leur nombre limité se trouve en rapport avec les chaires destinées aux branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement d'une Faculté. Nommés à vie, comme dans les Facultés de France, ils jouissent de certaines prérogatives et touchent seuls un traitement fixe qui, d'ailleurs, ne forme qu'une partie de leurs honoraires. Les professeurs extraordinaires, mais surtout les, ou Privatdocenten, sont des cours accessoires rétribués, comme ceux des professeurs ordinaires, par les élèves. Les uns et les autres disposent également des éléments matériels nécessaires pour l'enseignement, et que l'Université met libéralement à leur service.\n\nIl en résulte une lutte d'émulation permanente du maître en titre avec des forces plus jeunes. Sous peine de déchoir, la vieille réputation du professeur en titre doit grandir incessamment, car il n'a pas le monopole de l'enseignement de la branche scientifique représentée par sa chaire. A côté de lui, dans le sein de la Faculté même qu'il représente, deux ou trois professeurs ordinaires ou libres peuvent enseigner la même matière.\n\nLes élèves astreints à suivre un certain nombre de cours réglementaires suivent le maître qui leur convient le mieux pour les diriger dans leurs études. Pour être admis aux examens académiques, comme pour les examens d'État, il faut au candidat des certificats de présence aux cours réglementaires, certificat d'une scolarité régulièrement accomplie, sans que le certificat du professeur ordinaire donne plus de droit que celui du professeur extraordinaire ou du professeur libre; même les diplômes et les titres de toutes les Universités de l'Allemagne ont une égale valeur dans tous les États particuliers. Élèves et professeurs, qu'ils soient Badois, Prussiens ou Bavarois, passent indistinctement d'une Université à l'autre pour y étudier ou y enseigner. La science allemande trouve dans son organisation universitaire, fondée sur l'autonomie et la libre concurrence, un instrument de progrès sans lequel elle n'aurait jamais atteint sa hauteur actuelle.\n\nSi vous jetez un coup d'œil sur le vaste programme des matières enseignées dans les Universités allemandes, vous serez frappé d'étonnement. Sauf dans les écoles de Paris, qui comptent encore parmi les premières du monde, la plupart des Facultés des sciences et des lettres en France ne comptent que cinq professeurs; il y en a cent trente-cinq à l'Université de Berlin, soixante-dix à l'Université de Koenigsberg, contre trois cent quarante-huit dans toutes les Facultés des quinze divisions académiques de la France en 1870. La Faculté des sciences et la Faculté des lettres de Strasbourg, plus favorisées que d'autres, avaient alors treize professeurs, contre trente-six à la Faculté de philosophie et des sciences de l'Université actuelle. L'Université actuelle compte un total de quatre-vingts professeurs, répartis entre les cinq Facultés de théologie, de droit, de médecine, de philosophie, des sciences naturelles et mathématiques.\n\nChaque faculté, composée de l'ensemble des professeurs ordinaires, élit son doyen; les facultés réunies nomment ensemble un recteur de l'Université et se prononcent sur les changements à introduire aux statuts. Les fonctions du recteur et du doyen durent une année. A côté du recteur, il y a encore le sénat et la chambre disciplinaire. Le sénat surveille avec le recteur la marche de l'institution; il comprend, outre les doyens de chaque faculté, un délégué choisi parmi les professeurs de la faculté. La chambre disciplinaire, composée du recteur, du pro-recteur et d'un syndic pris dans la faculté de droit, règle les questions de police intérieure. Une commission administrative spéciale gère les biens de l'Université, sous réserve de faire connaître des résultats de sa gérance à la cour des comptes de l'empire. En ce qui concerne les études, les professeurs ordinaires et extraordinaires de chaque faculté doivent passer en revue, dans le délai de trois semestres, toutes les branches essentielles de l'enseignement. Tous les professeurs en titre des facultés ont à soumettre au doyen le programme de leur cours, la faculté dans son ensemble devant se prononcer sur les compléments à ajouter ou les modifications à faire au plan des lectures.\n\n727\n\nAvant les réformes que la France est en voie d'introduire dans l'organisation du haut enseignement, la caisse de l'État ne dépensait rien pour cette branche de l'instruction publique, et en tirait au contraire un revenu au détriment de ses intérêts réels. Le gouvernement tente maintenant de grands efforts en vue d'améliorer cette situation, et il n'est que temps, car de mauvais calculs et un esprit étroit ont pu seuls inspirer la pensée d'une économie faite aussi mal à propos. Partout où une économie est réalisable dans l'administration des services publics, nous la recommandons avec instance. Dans les conditions présentes, l'intérêt du pays commande de faire plus large la part de l'instruction. Réduire le budget de l'enseignement serait une faute politique des plus graves, et pour qui se rend un compte exact des choses, les nations qui dépensent le plus au profit de l'instruction sont devenues les nations les plus avancées. Voyez l'exemple de la Prusse. Cette année-même, ce pays consacre à l'entretien de ses neuf universités 6,577,397 marks, ou 8,228,746 francs, dont 4,820,841 marks, ou 6,026,080 francs fournis par la caisse de l'État. En France, le budget de 1870 attribuait au service des facultés une somme totale de 4,215,521 fr. seulement. Pour l'Alsace-Lorraine, le crédit mis à la disposition de l'Université de Strasbourg, en 1876, s'élève à 894,699 marks ou 1,118,302 francs. Eu égard à la population, la dépense respective par tête d'habitant est de 0 fr. 70 c. en Alsace-Lorraine, 0 fr. 12 c. en France, 0 fr. 33 c. en Prusse.\n\nSur le total de 894,690 marks pour l'Université de Strasbourg, il y en a 872,740 de dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 de dépenses extraordinaires: celles-ci attribuées à l'installation des laboratoires et des instituts. La caisse de l'empire contribue aux dépenses pour une somme de 400,000 marks en 1876, somme à laquelle il faut ajouter 47,737 marks de recettes ordinaires, non compris la rétribution des cours payés aux professeurs par les élèves. Les recettes ordinaires comprennent 22,425 marks provenant de fondations, 15,480 marks provenant de droits d'immatriculation et d'examen, 6,83 marks provenant d'indemnités diverses et d'abonnements à la salle de lecture de l'Université, 2,100 marks pour supplément au traitement du professeur chargé du levé géologique du pays, et 600 marks pour supplément au questeur et au caissier pour le service de la bibliothèque.\n\nEn Prusse, le produit des fondations, en 1876, donne une recette de 843,319 marks pour l'ensemble des neuf universités, dont 414,596 pour la seule Université de Greifswald, et 63,883 à l'Université de Koenigsberg, pour stipendes à quatre-vingt-sept étudiants pauvres. A Strasbourg, les stipendes coûtent par année 19,425 marks, mis à la disposition du sénat chargé de les répartir suivant les demandes que chaque étudiant de l'Université a droit de lui soumettre. La rétribution régulière des professeurs s'élève chez nous à 512,600 marks pour cinquante-six professeurs ordinaires, dix-neuf professeurs extraordinaires...\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS,\n\n...suite de l'article précédent.\n\n727",

Sur les frais du personnel administratif, il y a: 3,000 marks, traitement du curateur; 3,600 marks suppléments au recteur et aux doyens des facultés; 100 marks au secrétaire de l'Université; 3,100 marks au questeur trésorier; 4,500 marks au secrétaire du curateur, contrôleur de la caisse; 2,100 marks au commis de la chancellerie et au commis de la caisse; 7,870 marks pour promotions au doctorat; 6,000 marks pour travaux extraordinaires, etc., etc.\n\nQuelques détails sur la dotation des instituts, des cliniques et des séminaires attachés aux diverses classes trouveront ici leur place et ne seront pas sans intérêt. On n'a pas consacré moins de 3,308,080 francs pour l'installation première de l'Université et de ses annexes, de 1872 à 1870. Cette année même, le budget d'Alsace-Lorraine leur accorde 240,810 marks pour dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 marks pour dépenses extraordinaires: soit, ensemble, 262,740 m. ou 328,450 francs, contre 362,760 marks attribués en 1876 aux instituts et aux laboratoires de l'Université de Strasbourg. Il y a 668,870 marks inscrits au même titre sur le budget de la Prusse pour l'Université de Berlin; 306,746 m. pour l'Université de Konigsberg; 338,764 marks pour l'Université de Bonn. L'allocation annuelle ordinaire de l'Université de Strasbourg se répartit comme il suit dans l'ordre d'inscription au budget.\n\nSéminaire juridique, 1,200 m.; séminaire des sciences sociales, 1,200 m.; institut anatomique, 10,170 m.; institut de chimie physiologique, 7,400 m.; institut pharmacologique, 6,930 m.; institut physiologique, 8,000 m.; institut d'anatomie pathologique, 3,900 m.; clinique médicale et polyclinique, 18,810 m.; clinique chirurgicale, 10,380 m.; clinique d'accouchements, 49,830 m.; clinique des yeux, 5,170 m.; clinique des maladies syphilitiques et de la peau, 2,100 m.; clinique psychiatrique, 9,150 m.; séminaire mathématique, 1,500 m.; institut physique, 9,300 m.; institut chimique, 76,700 m.; institut zoologique, 3,700 m.; institut de minéralogie, 4,800 m.; institut de géologie et de paléontologie, 4,500 m.; institut de botanique, 11,150 m.; Institut pharmaceutique, 5,400 m.; institut petrographique, 600 m.; observatoire astronomique, 5,700 m.; séminaire philologique, 1,800 m.; séminaire d'histoire moderne, 900 m.; séminaire philosophique, 600 m.; institut d'archéologie artistique, 2,100 m.; institut pour la connaissance des antiquités grecques et romaines, 1,800 m.; institut pour l'épigraphie romaine après Jésus-Christ, 600 m.; séminaire de philologie allemande, 1,200 m.; séminaire des langues romanes et anglaises, 1,500 m.; pour l'étude des antiquités égyptiennes, 300 m.; cabinet de lecture académique, 3,900 m.; réunion musicale de l'Académie, 1,200 m.; école d'équitation, 1,500 m.; dépenses non prévues, 4,000 m.\n\nA elle seule, la bibliothèque de l'Université dispose encore, en dehors de ces sommes, d'un crédit ordinaire de 121,050 marks. Ces chiffres n'ont pas besoin d'autre commentaire. J'ajouterai seulement, en manière de comparaison, que, pour un crédit annuel de 328,450 francs, attribué aux laboratoires et aux collections de l'Université de Strasbourg, bibliothèque non comprise, le total des sommes portées au budget de 1871, en France, pour entretien et renouvellement des collections, établissement des laboratoires, frais de manipulations et de cours de toutes les Facultés des sciences, des Facultés de médecine et des Écoles supérieures du pays entier, ne dépasse pas 341,000 francs. Si, dans les principaux établissements du haut enseignement en France, les instruments de travail manquent ou sont beaucoup trop restreints, nous ne nous plaindrons pas de voir l'administration de l'Alsace-Lorraine faire plus largement les choses à Strasbourg. L'exemple donné sera bon à suivre, car, dans l'état actuel de la science, l'enseignement oral ne suffit plus. Sans peine de déchéance, l'enseignement doit s'appuyer sur l'expérimentation, sur les exercices pratiques du laboratoire, travail également indispensable pour les élèves et pour les maîtres, et sans lequel il n'y a point de progrès possible. Pour compléter les chiffres donnés ci-dessus, disons encore que, sur nombre de 677 étudiants immatriculés en 1870 à l'Université de Strasbourg, nous comptons seulement 106 Alsaciens-Lorrains pour l'étude de la théologie protestante, de la pharmacie et de la médecine. L'Université nouvelle a été fondée par décret impérial du 28 avril 1872, en remplacement de l'Académie établie en 1808, qui succéda elle-même, après la Révolution de 1789, à l'ancienne Université érigée par une ordonnance de l'empereur Maximilien Ier, en date du 1er juin 1566, à la demande du magistrat de Strasbourg.\n\nCHARLES GRAD.\n\nL'OUVERTURE DU TONG-KIN AU COMMERCE EUROPÉEN.\n\nL'EXPLORATION DU SONG-KOÏ.\n\nOn a raconté ici-même comment la deuxième expédition envoyée par les Anglais afin de reconnaître les jalons d'une route commerciale entre le Barma britannique et la Chine occidentale avait échoué d'une façon si tragique. On constatait en même temps que, la route par Bhamo écartée, au moins provisoirement et pour longtemps peut-être, et le grand fleuve de la Cochinchine française étant impraticable dans sa partie moyenne, la solution la plus naturelle du problème semblait être de recourir au Song-Koï, ou fleuve Rouge, grand cours d'eau qui se déverse, par un large delta, dans le golfe du Tong-Kin, et que notre intrépide compatriote, M. Jean Dupuis, négociant à Han-Kéou (Chine centrale), avait reconnu offrir, sur un parcours de 800 kilomètres, une communication non interrompue entre le littoral et le cours même de l'Yûn-Nân.\n\nLes faits qui se rattachent à la tentative de M. Dupuis sont peu ou point connus en Europe. L'opinion publique s'est un instant éveillée chez nous à la nouvelle inattendue qu'une poignée de Français, guidés par le lieutenant de vaisseau Francis Garnier, l'éminent explorateur du Mé-Kong, avait emporté d'assaut, le 20 novembre 1873, la citadelle de Ha-Noi, défendue par des milliers de soldats annamites; de même qu'elle devait s'émouvoir plus tard en apprenant que, à un mois à peine d'intervalle, le chef de cette expédition tombait, dans une sortie, sous les coups de bandits embusqués qui le perçaient de leurs lances et lui coupaient la tête. Puis le silence s'est fait de nouveau autour de ces événements, qui avaient le double tort de se passer si loin, et de tomber au milieu des plus vives préoccupations politiques. On n'en connaissait pas mieux la nature et les détails qu'on n'en appréciait la portée et les conséquences possibles. Éclaircir les uns et faire ressortir les autres, telle est la pensée des lignes qui vont suivre, et qui sont écrites sur les notes manuscrites que M. Dupuis a bien voulu nous remettre lui-même. L'explorateur du fleuve Rouge se trouve actuellement à Paris, et il y est venu dans l'espoir d'intéresser ses concitoyens au succès définitif d'une œuvre à laquelle, pour son propre compte, il a consacré toutes ses forces et sacrifié sa fortune.\n\nM. Dupuis arrivait au Céleste-Empire en 1868, et, dès l'année suivante, il quittait Shang-Haï en compagnie de M. Eugène Simon, aujourd'hui consul de France à Sydney, pour s'enfoncer dans l'intérieur du pays et remonter jusqu'au Thibet, s'il était possible. Mais l'état troublé du Sze-Tchuen, que désolait alors la guerre civile, les força de s'arrêter à Han-Kéou, où ils devançaient tous les autres Européens. En 1871, M. Dupuis eut quelques rapports avec la mission Morel et Blakiston, qui remontait alors le Yang-Tse-Kiang dans un but commercial, et ces rapports attirèrent son attention sur le fleuve Rouge, que, dès lors, il se promit d'explorer un jour ou l'autre. Il y avait évidemment de grandes difficultés dans une pareille tâche; mais M. Dupuis, qui avait déjà parcouru une grande partie de la Chine, qui en connaissait parfaitement la langue et s'était créé de grandes relations avec les mandarins, M. Dupuis espérait bien les vaincre. Dans ces conditions, il s'apprêtait, en 1872, à se mettre en route, lorsqu'il apprit qu'une commission française venait d'être formée afin de chercher, par la voie du Mé-Kong, cette route commerciale vers l'ouest de la Chine que lui-même entrevoyait dans le fleuve du Tong-Kin. Le Mé-Kong, débouchant dans une possession française, répondait mieux que toute autre voie aux besoins mêmes qui préoccupaient notre compatriote, et il jugea convenable d'attendre ce qui résulterait de son exploration. Mais lorsque, deux ans plus tard, il eut appris des membres mêmes de l'expédition que le Mé-Kong ne pouvait être utilisé au point de vue commercial, sa résolution fut prise et, au moment même où le major Sladen, remontant l'Irawaddy, allait à Momien, il prenait lui-même la route du Yun-Nan.\n\nMandarin à bouton rouge, grade qui correspond dans la hiérarchie chinoise à notre généralat de brigade, M. Dupuis put parcourir au grand jour toute la distance qui le séparait...\n\nPage 129\n\n(1) Voir, dans l'Économiste Français du 2 septembre 1876: les Routes commerciales entre l'Indo-Chine et la Chine, etc.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nNo. 15253\n\n(Subject.)\n\nRECEIVED\n\n28 DEC 1876\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n331\n\nFor Office Proceed of Suez relative to demand of the\n\nDate.\n\n1876\n\nDec 26\n\nLast previous Paper\n\n14706.\n\nBest\n\npirms.\n\nTelegram BGN - 27 Jan 187\n\nGW-2-2-\n\nHaßer\n\n158\n\n366\n\nE.

Lyon Sénat.\nAnnexe n° 34. SESSION ORDINAIRE\n(5e séance du 16 février 1877.) PROJET DE LOI adopté par la Chambre des députés, portant ouverture au ministre de la marine et des colonies sur l'exercice 1877 de suppléments de crédits, montant ensemble à 2,200,700 fr., pour le service colonial (Tonkin et Cochinchine), présenté au nom de M. le maréchal de Mac Mahon, duc de Magenta, président de la République française, par M. Teisserenc de Bort, ministre de l'agriculture et du commerce, chargé par intérim du département de la marine et des colonies, et par M. Léon Say, ministre des finances.--(Renvoyé à la commission de finances.)\n\n## EXPOSÉ DES MOTIFS\n\nLa loi portant fixation du budget des recettes de l'exercice 1877 a rétabli à ce budget la prévision de versement au Trésor par la Cochinchine du contingent de 2,200,000 fr. dont cette colonie avait été dispensée à partir de 1876, à la charge de faire face aux dépenses ordinaires et extraordinaires résultant de l'exécution du traité conclu entre la France et le royaume d'Annam. Cette mesure avait pour conséquence l'ouverture au département de la marine et des colonies des crédits nécessaires pour couvrir les dépenses dont il s'agit.\n\nTel est l'objet d'un projet de loi présenté à la Chambre des députés au mois de novembre 1876 et portant que les crédits du chapitre 18, « Subvention au service local des colonies, exercice 1877, » seraient augmentés d'une somme de 2,200,000 fr. au titre de la Cochinchine.\n\nAprès entente entre le Gouvernement et la commission du budget de la Chambre des députés, il a paru préférable de donner une autre forme à cette concession de crédits; on est donc convenu, d'une part, d'ouvrir au budget de la marine et des colonies un chapitre spécial pour les dépenses du Tonkin, et de l'autre, de rattacher au chapitre 16, Matériel civil et militaire aux colonies, les dépenses de certains travaux à faire en Cochinchine.\n\nEn établissant ce projet, il a été reconnu, en ce qui concerne le Tonkin : que les dépenses ordinaires destinées à se produire annuellement pendant toute la durée du traité, s'élèveront à 866,700 fr.; que les dépenses extraordinaires nécessitées par l'installation de nos résidents, et l'ouverture des ports au commerce européen, monteront, pour 1877, à 600,000 fr.\n\nC'est donc un crédit supplémentaire de 1,466,700 francs qu'il y a lieu, de ce chef, d'ouvrir en département de la marine et des colonies pour l'exercice 1877, sur le chapitre spécial à créer.\n\nQuant à la différence entre cette somme et celle de 2,200,000 fr. qui sera versée au Trésor par la Cochinchine, soit 733,300 fr., d'accord avec le vote de la Chambre des députés, nous demandons à l'appliquer à divers travaux d'une utilité essentielle pour la prospérité de notre colonie et pour le bien-être de nos troupes en Cochinchine.\n\nCes travaux sont en cours d'exécution et il importe de les achever dans un avenir aussi rapproché que possible. Il s'agit, notamment, de l'hôpital et du bassin à flot de Saigon. Le gouvernement de la Cochinchine a appliqué, en 1875 et en 1876, à ces travaux, les sommes qui, sur les crédits de 2,200,000 fr., n'étaient pas absorbées par les dépenses du Tonkin. On propose d'affecter, en 1877, 450,000 fr. au bassin à flot et 284,000 fr. à l'hôpital.\n\nTel est l'objet du projet de loi que nous avons l'honneur de vous soumettre et qui a été voté par la Chambre des députés dans la séance du 1er de ce mois.\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\nArt. 1—Les crédits du chapitre 16 du budget du ministère de la marine, pour l'exercice 1877, matériel civil et militaire aux colonies, sont augmentés au titre de la Cochinchine, à l'article 1 (Ports et rades), d'une somme de 450,000 francs, et à l'article 2 (Casernement et campement), d'une somme de 284,000 fr.\n\nArt. 2—Les dépenses à faire au Tonkin, par suite du traité du 15 mars 1874, approuvé par la loi du 4 août 1874, seront à la charge du budget de la marine (Service colonial).\n\nArt. 3—Il sera ouvert, au budget du département de la marine et des colonies, un chapitre 19 pour les services du Tonkin.\n\nUn crédit de 866,700 fr. sera inscrit audit chapitre pour faire face aux dépenses ordinaires de l'exercice 1877.\n\nUn second crédit de 600,000 fr. sera inscrit au même chapitre pour les dépenses extraordinaires ou de premier établissement pendant le même exercice.\n\n262\n140",

        "content_text": "# AFT. No. 2 \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n200 \n### 1-SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS\n\nThe first of the preliminary questions was as follows:-\"Le choléra \"Asiatique, susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique), ne se développe-t-il \"spontanément que dans l'Inde, et est-ce toujours du dehors qu'il \"arrive quand il éclate dans d'autres pays? Ou bien revêt-il aussi le \"caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde? dans ce cas, quels \"sont ces pays ?\"\n\nOn the points involved in this question the Conference was in unanimous agreement with that of Constantinople, that epidemic cholera has its origin in India, and exists permanently there in an endemic state; that it is probably endemic only in India, though there are some countries bordering on India, concerning which sufficient grounds do not exist for a formal conclusion on this point; that it has never been observed in a really endemic state, (which of course must be carefully distinguished from an origin from secondary foci) either in any part of Europe, or in Turkey in Asia, or in the Caucasus, or in the north of Africa, or in America; and that, though the possibility of its becoming acclimatized in any of those countries is not to be rejected, such event is to be held as extremely problematical.*\n\nOn the second question, \"Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\" some discussion took place, not in reference to the main question, in which the Conference was entirely in accord with that of Constantinople, but on an exception taken by the German delegates to the wording of one of the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference on the subject.† With certain qualifications to meet this view, and which recognised the influence of localities, the Conference accepted those conclusions, thereby affirming that cholera is transmissible by the human subject coming from an infected locality; that the rapidity of its transmission is in correspondence with the activity and rapidity of human communications; that the introduction of a single cholera patient may give rise to the development of an epidemic; and that there are facts which tend to prove that a single individual (and à fortiori several) coming from an infected place, and affected with diarrhea only, may be enough to give rise to the development of an epidemic of cholera, or, in other words, that the premonitory diarrhoea of cholera may be the means of transmitting the disease.†\n\nOn the points raised in the third question, \"Le choléra peut-il être \n* Throughout this abstract I have given in full the conclusions as voted by the Conference. They frequently go beyond a mere categorical reply to the questions asked, and sometimes contain qualifications of the conclusions stated in the final \"Relevé des Conclusions, &c.\" (Annex. III.) which should not be disregarded.\n†The phrase objected to was \"L'homme atteint de choléra est par lui-même le \"principal agent propagateur de cette maladie.\" And the objection taken by Professor Pettenkofer was particularly to the words \"par lui-même.\" The view of the German delegation was thus formulated by Professor Hirsch :-\"Je ne conteste \"nullement la transmissibilité du choléra par l'homme venant d'un milieu infecté ; \"je considère l'homme seulement comme la cause spécifique, en dehors de l'influence de la localité infectée; en outre, je le considère comme le propagateur du choléra, lorsqu'il vient d'un endroit où le germe de la maladie existe déjà.” \nIt is apparently by an error, which escaped observation at the time, in the Procès-verbaux, that the proposal of the German delegation is therein stated to have been formally adopted, and to the exclusion of the Constantinople resolutions. But the fact was that the discussion showed that there was nothing really to dispute about: the conference readily and at once recognized the influence of localities, and most certainly the resolutions of Constantinople, modified on this point only, as I have stated in the text, were adopted. I find this error in the Procès-verbaux and Relevé des Conclusions, has been since noticed by other Members of the Conference. (See Bull. de l'Acad. de Méd. 1874, p. 926.)\n\n207 \n### Art. No. 2. \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\npropagé par des effets qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage, et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\" the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference were unanimously accepted, viz., that cholera is transmissible by goods employed for personal use coming from an infected place, and especially by such as have been used by cholera patients; and that there are even facts which show that the disease may be conveyed to a distance by such goods, if they have been kept close and unexposed to free circulation of air.\n\nThe fourth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\" was one which had not been considered at Constantinople. This question it was decided after a short discussion to divide into two, the one having reference to food, and the other to drink, especially to drinkable water. To the first branch of the question, “Le choléra peut-\"il être propagé par les aliments?\" the answer given by a majority, after considerable discussion, was that the Conference having no conclusive facts of the transmission of cholera by food, was not in a position to give a formal decision on the point. To the second division of the question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des boissons, particulièrement par l'eau ?\" the reply was unanimously in the affirmative.\n\nOn the fifth question, \"Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants?\" the conclusion arrived at by a majority, after some discussion, was that there exists no proof of the transmission of cholera from animals to mankind, but that the possibility of it may reasonably be admitted.\n\nOn the sixth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être importé par les marchandises?\" the conclusion of the Conference at Constantinople, that, while they were unanimous as to the absence of any proof of the transmission of cholera by merchandise, they must admit the possibility of such occurrence under certain conditions, was, after discussion, adopted by a majority. No vote was given against it, but several delegations abstained from voting. As is evident from the wording of the resolution, it was only as to the concluding phrase that there was any difference of opinion.\n\nOn the seventh question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par les cadavres des cholériques ?\" the conclusion of the former Conference, that though there was no conclusive evidence of the transmission of cholera by the corpses of cholera patients, it was prudent to consider them as dangerous, was unanimously adopted.\n\nOn the eighth question, “Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\" the Conference adopted, with equal unanimity, the conclusions of that of Constantinople, which were as follows: No fact up to the present time has shown that cholera can be propagated to a distance by the atmosphere alone, whatever the atmospheric conditions may be; and it is further a law, without exception, that no epidemic of cholera has ever been propagated from one point to another in a shorter time than was requisite for a human being to travel from the one point to the other. The surrounding air is the chief vehicle of the cholera-producing agent, but the transmission of the disease by the air is limited, in the immense majority of cases, to a distance very close to the source of infection. None of the facts which have been cited of transport of cholera by the atmosphere to the distance of one or of several miles is sufficiently conclusive.\n\nThe Conference assented also with unanimity to the answer which had been given at Constantinople to the ninth question, viz. \"L'air frais arrivant du dehors aux agents donnant naissance ou propageant le choléra, et les aérant, ou bien l'isolement de ces agents de l'air extérieur, constituent-ils des éléments ayant ou non une influence sur le caractère contagieux du choléra ?” This reply was to the effect that in fresh air \n\n331",

No. 2.\n\n## A Detract of Proceedings.\n\n208\n\nthe generative principle of cholera rapidly loses its morbific activity, b) that under special conditions of confinement of air such activity might be preserved for an undetermined time; that it was under these conditions of confinement of air that, (as already stated in reply to question 3), cholera might be transmitted even to a distance by goods employed for personal use; that great deserts were a very efficacious barrier against the propagation of cholera, and that there was no example of that disease having ever been imported either into Egypt or Syria across the desert by caravans coming from Mecca.\n\nThe two remaining preliminary questions of the programme gave rise to long and animated discussions.\n\nQuestion 10 was, \"Quand il y a contagion, quelle est la durée de l'incubation?\" The resolutions of the Constantinople Conference on this point had been as follows:-\"In almost all cases, the period of incubation, i.e., the time which elapses between the moment at which the individual receives the cholera infection and the commencement of the premonitory diarrhea, or of the confirmed cholera, does not exceed a few days [elsewhere more precisely limited by the words, 'a week at the outside.'] All facts which have been cited of a longer incubation relate to cases which are inconclusive, either because the premonitory diarrhea has been included in the period of incubation, or because the infection might have taken place after the person's departure from the infected locality. Observation shows that the duration of the choleraic diarrhoea which has been termed premonitory, (which must not be confounded with every diarrhoea met with at cholera times), does not exceed a few days. The facts which have been cited as exceptional do not prove that the cases of diarrhoea prolonged beyond this period are really choleric, and are susceptible of transmitting cholera when the individual suffering has been withdrawn from all sources of infection.\" After a very long debate, the Conference of Vienna assented to these conclusions by 13 affirmative votes to 1 negative, four delegations abstaining from voting.*\n\nThe 11th and last question was this: Connait-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement ou avec quelque chance de succès être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ? Dans le cas affirmatif, quels sont ces moyens?\" A short preliminary discussion made it evident that it would be desirable to take separately the opinion of the Conference as to the existence of means of disinfection which might be relied on with certainty, or only of means for the probable success of which there was good evidence; to separate, in short, the \"sûrement\" from the \"quelque chance de succès.\" The known existence of any means of disinfection, absolutely certain in its operation, was denied by 12 delegations, and affirmed by none, seven delegations abstaining from voting.\n\n*The difference of opinion, at least between the delegations which voted in the affirmative and those which abstained from voting, was, I apprehend, more apparent than real. I did not gather from the discussion that it was at all disputed by the latter that in the immense majority of cases (perhaps the expression \"almost all\" might have been felt by them a little too strong) the period of incubation does not exceed the limits stated in the resolution. Their objection attached rather to the too small importance, which, in a prophylactic point of view, the resolution seemed to attach to the exceptional cases, of which the most reasonable explanation consisted in admitting a longer period of incubation. As Professor Fettenkofer put it, the question was to be regarded from a prophylactic not a clinical point of view; adding, that from the latter \"il accepterait la thèse d'une courte durée.” On the other hand, it was by no means intended, as the limiting word \"almost\" shows, by those who supported the resolution to deny the possible, nor the probable, existence of a longer period of incubation in some cases, nor that dangers might, though rarely, arise therefrom.\n\n209\n\n## APP. No. 2.\n\nOn the other hand, 14 delegations asserted, while four denied, the existence of means of disinfection, of the successful application of which there was reasonable probability. The vote on this latter question, however, must be interpreted by reference to a further discussion to which it gave rise, which showed that the objection on the part of the delegations which had voted in the negative, to admit the probable efficacy of disinfectants, had arisen chiefly, or at least in great part, from the influence they conceived an affirmative answer to the question would have in leading to a reliance being placed on disinfectants, to the prejudice of the precautions (which they deemed much more important) of simple hygiène. This had certainly been the furthest possible from the intention of those who had given the affirmative vote. A resolution, therefore, which should remove all ambiguity on this point was proposed, and unanimously adopted, as follows (I give the exact words of the resolution itself): \"La science ne connaît pas encore de moyens désinfectants certains et spécifiques; en conséquence, la Conférence reconnaît une grande valeur aux mesures hygiéniques, telles que aération, lotions profondes, nettoyage, &c., combinées avec l'emploi des substances regardées actuellement comme désinfectantes.\"\n\nNo attempt was made at the present stage of proceedings to specify the various means of disinfection (required by the last clause of the 11th question), the subject being held to belong in its details more properly to question 22 of the programme.†\n\nFour sittings of the Conference had been occupied with the determination of these preliminary questions. The conclusions arrived at were, it will have been seen, essentially in accord with those arrived at by the Conference of Constantinople. At the last of these sittings, the course to be adopted in considering the second part of the programme, the practical questions relating to Quarantine, was also discussed. It was determined that the questions relative to Land and River quarantines (questions 12-16) should be entertained in full Conference, but that the subject of Maritime Quarantine (questions 16-22) should, in the first instance, be referred to a committee, and discussed on the committee's report. It was further resolved that the questions relating to the establishment of an international sanitary commission (Part III of Programme) should also, in the first instance, be referred to a committee. And the committees for the respective purposes were nominated.‡\n\n## II-QUESTIONS OF QUARANTINE.\n\nThe mode in which the questions connected with Quarantine were submitted for the consideration of the Conference differed from that which had been taken with regard to the scientific questions.\n\n* In the Procès-verbaux, the votes are recorded as 13 affirmative to 1 negative; M. Schleisner's vote, which was affirmative, having been erroneously entered as negative.\n\n† In point of fact, no enumeration of disinfectant substances, or recommendation as to special means of disinfection, was ever made by the Conference. The committee on Maritime Quarantines (see postea) in the Réglement attached to their report, suggested certain means as applicable to ships, and to passengers by ship, their clothes, and effects, but on discussion, it was felt that the best course was to leave the choice of means of disinfection to the competent authority of each country.\n\n‡ The committee on Maritime Quarantines, as first nominated, consisted of Messrs. Hirsch (Germany), d'Albert-Gianstätten (Austria), De Ring (France), Polak (Persia), and Seaton (Great Britain); but MM. De Ring and Polak declining, for reasons stated by them respectively, were replaced by MM. Seramola (Italy), and Van Cappelle (Holland). The committee on the subject of an International Commission consisted of MM. Lenz (Russia), Catinelli (Hungary), Marcovitz (Roumania), Kierulf (Norway), and Polak (Persia).",

No. 2. \n\nAbstract of Proceedings \n\n212 \n\nThe resolution, entirely condemnatory of land quarantine, was (as I have already stated) then adopted by the vote of 13 delegations to 4; two delegations abstaining. \n\n## B.-Maritime Quarantine. \n\nIt having been decided that the questions (14 and 15) which stood next in the Programme should be postponed until the subject of maritime quarantine had been discussed, the Conference next passed to that discussion, which proved an extremely animated one, and which occupied altogether nine sittings. \n\nThe discussion commenced of course with the consideration of the Report made by the Committee to whom the questions (16-22 in the Programme) relating to the subject had been referred, which Report was to the following effect: \n\nThat maritime quarantines can only be of real use, as protective against cholera, in those ports which may be regarded as the chief points of irruption of that disease in its progress by sea towards Europe. \n\nThat, wherever instituted, they should be of the completest kind, and in conformity with the strictest rules of hygiene. That they should be international institutions. \n\nThat when cholera has broken through the chief points of irruption, quarantines in the ports of continental Europe are useless, inasmuch as the communications by land take from them all their value. \n\nThat, under these circumstances, there should be substituted in the ports of Europe for quarantine a rigorous medical inspection of every ship coming from an infected locality, in conformity with regulations which the Committee had prepared, and which it submitted to the Conference. \n\nThe general discussion of the principles involved in this Report was of the highest interest, and occupied three sittings. It was characteristic of the different stand-points from which this practical subject was approached at Constantinople and at Vienna, that, while the attention of the former Conference had, so far as it was concerned, been exclusively given to the establishment or maintenance of quarantine for the purpose of checking the progress of cholera by sea from Asia to Europe, it was with the question of the maintenance of quarantines in the ports of Europe itself that the Conference of Vienna was chiefly occupied. Little or no difference of opinion was manifested amongst those assembled at Vienna as to the utility of sea quarantines between Asia and Europe; but very great diversity of opinion was found to exist as to the advantage of such institutions in Europe itself, and it soon became evident in the progress of the debates that the Conference was divided into two camps, one comprising the majority of the delegations, who were favourable to their entire abolition in European ports, and the substitution of a system of medical inspection of vessels coming from infected places; the other, the minority, who were for maintaining them. \n\nAt the close of this general discussion, a proposal that the Report be reconsidered by the Committee with the addition of other members of the Conference entertaining views more favourable to quarantine having been rejected, the Committee itself undertook to review its Report before the Conference should proceed to consider and vote on the separate articles of it. \n\n* Though the Committee was unanimous in its Report, it need scarcely be said that it had not been nominated with any view to the representation in it of one set of opinions only. The Baron de Ring, the only member of the French delegation who was in Vienna when the Committee was appointed, was on the list first nominated, and on his declining to serve, a member of the Conference, whose opinions on the subject were unknown to the Conference, but generally believed to be favourable to maritime quarantine, was appointed to replace him. \n\n213 \n\n## APP. No. 1 \n\nAbstract of Proceedings \n\nAt the next sitting, (the 11th of the Conference, and 4th of the discussion on the Report,) Professor Hirsch, the reporter of the Committee, read a statement on its behalf as to the alterations and additions in the Report, which, in view of the discussion which had taken place, it deemed advisable; and the Conference then proceeded to the consideration of the Report, article by article. \n\nThe first article was as follows:- \n\n\"Les quarantaines dans les ports de mer ne peuvent offrir une protection réelle et essentielle contre le choléra que dans ces ports qui peuvent être regardés comme les points principaux d'irruption du choléra dans sa marche maritime vers l'Europe.\" \n\nThe Committee in its supplementary statement had proposed to make this more precise by additions which should specify the Caspian and the Red Seas, with the Canal of Suez, as the chief points of the maritime irruption of cholera, and should give a positive instead of an inferential approval of quarantine being established at Astrakan and Baku on the Caspian Sea and at El Wesch on the Red Sea. \n\nAnother \"rédaction,\" intended, as expressly stated, to imply exactly the same thing, was moved by M. Fauvel as follows:- \n\n\"En vue de prévenir de nouvelles invasions du choléra en Europe, la Conférence approuve, en principe, les mesures recommandées par la Conférence de Constantinople, et notamment les quarantaines maritimes dans la Mer Rouge, et sur le littoral de la mer Caspienne.\" \n\nAfter some discussion a conclusion was arrived at which consisted in the adoption of the article as originally proposed by the Committee with the addition of the words, \"Dans cet ordre d'idées, la Conférence adopte les conclusions de la Conférence de Constantinople, quant aux quarantaines de la Mer Caspienne et de la Mer Rouge.\" \n\nIt was unfortunate that in the conclusion as thus expressed the words \"en principe,\" which were part of M. Fauvel's proposal, were omitted. For it was the general scope and intention of the proposals made on this subject by the Conference of Constantinople, and not each individual recommendation of that Conference, which was approved. The individual recommendations were in fact never discussed, and I am satisfied that I am quite correct in stating that it never entered into the mind of any delegate present at the Conference at Vienna to revive, e.g., the proposal made at Constantinople for international quarantine at the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb. \n\nOf the second article of the Committee's Report, \"Ces quarantaines devraient être instituées et organisées d'une manière complète et satisfaisante selon les maximes d'hygiène les plus rigoureuses. Elles devraient être des institutions internationales,\" the first part was unanimously adopted. The remainder relating to the internationality of these institutions was, after a short discussion, withdrawn. \n\nTo the third article of the Report, \"Contre le choléra qui a franchi les points principaux de son irruption, les quarantaines dans les ports de l'Europe continentale sont inutiles, vu que les communications par terre...,\" a continuation, as follows, of the additional proposal of the Committee, \"Quant aux ports Ottomans de la Mer-Noire, vu la position géographique de la Turquie et ses relations spéciales avec les points principaux d'irruption du choléra, cette Puissance a la liberté d'établir des quarantaines. Les Dardanelles restent dans tous les cas ouvertes au commerce international,\" was, at the request of the Turkish delegation, withdrawn.",

Fauvel as follows: \"Quand le choléra règne en Europe, les quarantaines maritimes perdent en général beaucoup de leur efficacité à raison des communications par terre. Cependant on ne saurait dire qu'elles soient devenues entièrement inutiles.\" It was on these respective proposals that what I may venture to call the critical vote of the Conference took place; the result being that the resolution contained in the Committee's report for the abolition of quarantine in continental Europe, when cholera was already in Europe, was adopted by the votes of 12 delegations to 8.*\n\nThe fourth article of the report, \"Dans ces conditions, il convient d'établir dans les ports de l'Europe, au lieu des quarantaines, une inspection sanitaire rigoureuse pour chaque navire provenant d'une localité infectée selon le règlement ci-après,\" was also adopted; subject, of course, to the consideration of the details of the Règlement. These underwent much discussion, in which they were considerably improved in form, but quite untouched in principle. As finally agreed upon they will be found inserted in extenso in the Annex No. III. to this abstract. In principle, the provisions are the following:-\n\n1. Local sanitary authorities in every port for the execution of these rules; such authorities to be kept always officially informed respecting cholera in other ports.\n2. Immediate free pratique to all vessels arriving from non-infected ports, which vessels, on the oath of the captain, had not during their voyage touched at any intermediate suspected port, nor communicated directly with any infected ship, and on board which there had not been any suspected or confirmed case of cholera.\n3. Medical inspection, as soon as possible after arrival, of all ships coming from suspected or infected ports, as well as of ships coming from non-suspected ports, but which had during the voyage touched at any suspected port or had direct communication with any infected ship, or on which there had been any suspicious case of cholera sickness or death.\n4. Immediate free pratique to the ship and everything in it, when it appeared from this inspection that there was no actual cholera, or suspected cholera, on board; except when there had been any such cases during the voyage, under which circumstances the ship itself, the crew and passengers, their clothes, and goods were to undergo disinfection before being admitted to pratique.\n5. If on the inspection there were found any case on board of cholera or suspected cholera, or any corpse of a person suspected to have died of cholera, (1) immediate removal of the sick (if any) to hospital, and immediate burial of corpses (if any) either in the sea with usual precautions, or on land after disinfection; (2) disinfection of the crew and passengers who were well, and of their clothes and goods; and, (3) disinfection of the ship itself. All who were well to have free pratique, with their clothes and goods, as soon as the disinfection had been accomplished.\n6. Free pratique to all merchandise, except to rags and other objects of a susceptible kind which must first undergo a radical disinfection.\n\nThis system, it will be seen, is identical in principle with that which has for some time been in practice in the United Kingdom; but I had notified to the Committee at an early stage that certain of the details proposed to be introduced into the Règlement, as, e.g., the personal disinfection of passengers on an infected ship who were themselves certified on arrival to be unaffected with cholera or diarrhoea, with some other provisions in regard to disinfection, were not carried out, and could not be carried out, in this country in the precise way the Règlement directed, and that with regard to these provisions, none of which appeared to me to be fundamental, reserve would have to be made in accepting the Règlement in question.*\n\nIn the discussion which had thus far taken place on the subject of maritime quarantine, two things had become evident: (1) that whatever might be the recommendation of the Conference in regard to the substitution of a system of medical inspection for one of quarantine in Europe, there were at least some maritime States which at present would not fall in with the recommendation, and that therefore \"la parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre &c.,\" which it was the desire of those who had convoked the Conference to establish, could not as yet be arrived at; and (2) that the views of at least some of the advocates of quarantine as applied to European ports had undergone modification tending to improvement in the practice, and that probably the most important and influential of all the States still supporting the quarantine system in Europe, viz., France, would be ready to discontinue at once that system, and substitute the system of medical inspection in its northern ports, though not in all its ports, and notably not in the ports in the Mediterranean. On these grounds, and with the object of arriving as far as possible at an understanding which might be the basis of such a convention as was desired, Professor Hirsch, in the name of the committee whose views had been adopted by the Conference, proposed a further committee for considering a scheme which might be accepted by those States which for the present should decline to accept the scheme which the Conference had approved. The proposal was adopted and a committee nominated for the purpose.†\n\n215\n\nThe règlement quarantenaire, which the Committee prepared and which was accepted by the Conference, is given in extenso in Annex III. to this abstract. It modifies considerably the practice of quarantine as heretofore carried out in Europe generally.\n\n1-4. As to the duration of quarantine.-In the case of ships coming from ports known to be infected, this is fixed at from one to seven days, according to circumstances, which period however may be extended to 10 days in the Eastern States of Europe, or elsewhere under exceptional circumstances.\n\nI think it may safely be affirmed that it was rather for the sake of countries which desired to pass from the quarantine system to the inspection system, than for countries in which, such system was already in force, that the particular provisions relative to personal disinfection were introduced.\n\n## APP. No. 2.\n\n* Of States of the first rank, France alone voted in the minority. The delegations of Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Austria, Hungary, and Italy were ranged on the side of the majority. Again, while the 12 States constituting the majority, and comprising (in addition to the six just enumerated) Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Persia, were all of them maritime States, three out of the eight States constituting the minority had no maritime relations whatever, viz., Luxemburg, Switzerland, and Servia. The remaining five States in the minority were France, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. It should be stated, however, that the Spanish delegation, which would have undoubtedly voted with the minority, had not arrived when this vote was taken.\n\nMore than one attempt made by M. Fauvel to break in upon the principle of the system proposed met with discomfiture. On the other hand, his criticism was of great value in making more clear and concise the provisions of the Règlement as proposed by the Committee.\n\n† This committee consisted of Messrs. Hirsch (Germany), d'Albert-Glanstätten (Austro-Hungary), Fauvel (France), Seaton (Great Britain), and Bartoletti (Turkey).\n\nPage 335",

The Conference left the subject of providing for the expenses of the proposed commission to be settled diplomatically between the Governments concerned.\n\nIt concluded this part of its work by the expression of its earnest desire to see instituted in Persia an international Council of Health analogous to the Councils of Health which act with such advantage at Constantinople and at Alexandria.\n\nThe particular kinds of questions relative to cholera which the international commission, if appointed, might, in the first instance, advantageously take up were indicated by various delegates in the discussions, and were some of them detailed by Professor Pettenkofer in a note which will be found attached to the third part of the Relevé des Conclusions in Annex III. But this note, it must be distinctly understood, was only meant as a specimen of questions waiting for solution; and was not in the least intended as even a sketch of a complete plan of work for the commission to undertake. The determining the exact commencement of cholera in each locality, and the tracing exactly its progress and termination were considered among the first duties of the Commission; the regular and systematic study of the meteorological and telluric conditions of certain specified places was another; a more exact and analytical study than we have had at present of the breaking out of cholera on board ships was another; determination of the precise duration of the incubation of cholera, determination of the value of disinfectants, &c., were all among the specimen subjects.\n\n## IV.-QUARANTINE AGAINST OTHER DISEASES THAN CHOLERA.\n\nA short sitting was devoted to hearing several communications on yellow fever, but it was unanimously decided that this question should be reserved for the international sanitary commission which it was proposed to institute.\n\n(Copr.)\n\n## ANNEX I.\n\n### LETTER of COUNT ANDRÁSSY to the AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR at the COURT OF ST. JAMES.\n\nMONSIEUR LE COMTE,\n\nVienne, le 3 Mai 1874.\n\nDepuis quelque temps déjà et de plusieurs côtés le désir s'est manifesté d'examiner de nouveau la question de savoir où et sous quelles conditions prennent naissance et s'étendent certaines épidémies qui, comme le choléra Asiatique, n'ont pas cessé, pendant les dernières années, de désoler le monde par leurs ravages, et d'entraver, par leurs perturbations, le développement des relations internationales. appuyé à cette occasion, sur la nécessité de faire généralement appliquer les remèdes les plus aptes pour préserver les populations contre les atteintes de ce fléau, et sur l'urgence d'étudier et de faire connaître de nouvelles mesures préventives et recommandées à cet effet par l'expérience. Le besoin s'est fait sentir, en même temps, de concerter entre les Etats intéressés des arrangements obligatoires qui auraient pour but d'amener une parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre pour se prémunir contre ce danger commun, de concentrer et de raffermir par là les moyens de se protéger contre l'invasion de ces maladies, et \n\n219\n\nd'écarter aussi bien la confusion qui a envahi, peu-à-peu, le terrain des principes hygiéniques en vigueur par rapport à ces épidémies et aux barrières qu'on leur oppose, que de faire disparaître les causes qui ne portent que trop souvent le trouble dans les transactions commerciales.\n\nL'augmentation continuelle des relations commerciales entre les différents pays, et la variété des moyens de communication par lesquels le commerce est entretenu, prouvent tous les jours davantage l'utilité, voire même la nécessité, d'établir des règles identiques destinées à régir ces rapports, et de les sanctionner par des conventions internationales. De nombreuses expériences démontrent les avantages de pareils arrangements. Si le libre exercice de la souveraineté territoriale est limité, en quelque sorte, par les conventions de ce genre, il est incontestable que le profit que chaque état en retire l'emporte de beaucoup sur cet inconvénient, qui n'est qu'apparent. La pratique démontre aussi les grands désavantages qui résultent, par exemple, dans le domaine de l'hygiène publique, de la divergence des principes d'après lesquels on combat, dans l'un ou dans l'autre état, les épidémies générales se propageant de pays en pays sous la tutelle, pour ainsi dire, de ces principes. Cette vérité a dès 1866 été reconnue par les Gouvernements qui ont pris part à la Conférence Sanitaire Internationale réunie à Constantinople et à laquelle on avait assigné pour objet des questions semblables à celles que nous proposons de résoudre, et un but analogue à celui que nous voulons atteindre. Des hommes de la science sérieux et compétents n'ont pas hésité dans les délibérations de la dite Conférence, à proclamer les mêmes idées auxquelles nous nous sommes associés aujourd'hui. Les conclusions adoptées par cette Conférence renferment des conseils précieux qui ne sont peut-être affectés que d'un seul défaut, celui de n'avoir jamais été tous en pratique.\n\nIl s'agit, donc, aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'idées, de réviser, jusqu'à un certain point au moins, les délibérations engagées et les résolutions prises à ce sujet à Constantinople, de les vérifier et de les compléter par les idées et expériences acquises, et surtout, d'en assurer l'exécution, et d'arrêter à cet effet entre les Etats intéressés, une convention sanitaire internationale qui réponde à tous les besoins de la situation actuelle.\n\nNous avons cru ne pas devoir nous montrer indifférents à ces demandes renouvelées récemment encore et avec insistance, ainsi qu'en font foi les résolutions du troisième Congrès International de Médecine réuni en l'année passée. Guidés par ces considérations, nous nous sommes adressés aux Puissances intéressées, afin d'être informés si elles sont disposées à envoyer des délégués à une conférence sanitaire internationale, convoquée à Vienne, dans le but de délibérer et de décider sur certaines questions de réforme du service sanitaire international. Nous avons eu la satisfaction de pouvoir constater que l'initiative prise par nous à cet égard a été saluée de tout côté avec un vif empressement, et que nos propositions ont été accueillies favorablement par tous les Gouvernements auxquels nous nous étions adressés. Nous avons pensé devoir, dans ces circonstances, faciliter la tâche importante dévolue à la Conférence en faisant élaborer, par une Commission spéciale, un programme de ces travaux futurs, qui traçât dès à présent, sans limiter la liberté des appréciations et l'indépendance nécessaire de ses membres, le cadre des questions à traiter, et qui indiquât le but qu'on se propose d'atteindre. En prenant d'avance connaissance de ce programme, on sera mis en état de pouvoir faire soigneusement étudier ces questions, et il sera possible de munir les délégués d'instructions précises et assez étendues pour procéder plus tard en pleine connaissance de cause, aux délibérations et à la conclusion des arrangements internationaux.\n\n## APP, No. 2.\n\n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n37844. \n\n337 \nPage 219",

Le choléra Asiatique susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique) ne se développe-t-il spontanément que dans l'Inde, et est-ce toujours du dehors qu'il arrive, quand il éclate dans d'autres pays? Ou bien revêt-il aussi le caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde ? Dans ce cas quels sont ces pays ?\n\n2. Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\n\n3. Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des effets, qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\n\n4. Peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\n\n5. Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants ?\n\n6. ou par le transport de marchandises ?\n\n7. ou, enfin, par les cadavres des cholériques ?\n\n8. Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\n\n9. L'air frais arrivant du dehors aux agents donnant naissance ou propageant le choléra, et les aérant, ou bien l'isolement de ces agents de l'air extérieur constituent-ils des éléments ayant ou non une influence sur le caractère contagieux du choléra ?\n\n10. Quand il y a contagion, quelle est la durée de l'incubation ?\n\n11. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement ou avec quelque chance de succès être détruit et perdre de son intensité ? Dans le cas affirmatif quels sont ces moyens ?\n\n#### Questions sur les Mesures de Quarantaine en Temps de Choléra.\n\n12. Des établissements de quarantaine doivent-ils être construits sur terre contre le choléra ?\n\n13. Dans ce cas :\n   - (a) Où seront-ils placés ?\n   - (b) Quand et dans quelles conditions ces constructions doivent-elles se faire ?\n   - (c) Quelles seraient les conditions à remplir sous le rapport des bâtisses et sous celui de l'organisation administrative ?\n   - (d) Comment et par quels moyens est-il possible d'empêcher l'accès dans un pays par une autre voie que celle protégée par des établissements de quarantaine ?\n\n14. Des établissements de quarantaine contre le choléra doivent-ils être aussi construits sur les bords des fleuves ?\n\n15. Donc le cas affirmatif (comme au § 13) ?\n\n16. Doit-on construire des établissements de quarantaine maritimes ou conserver ceux qui existent ?\n\n17. Si tel doit être le cas (comme au § 13) ?\n\n18. Quels sont les principes qui doivent être adoptés envers les personnes :\n   - (a) pour les admettre immédiatement à la libre pratique ?\n   - (b) pour leur faire subir une quarantaine d'observation ?\n   - (c) ou une quarantaine rigoureuse ? (Établissements de quarantaine, lazaret.)\n\n19. Quelle doit être, pour les personnes saines (passagers, marins, etc.), la durée :\n   - (a) de la quarantaine d'observation ? et,\n   - (b) de la quarantaine rigoureuse proprement dite ? Quelle est pour les personnes atteintes du choléra, la durée du séjour au lazaret ?\n\n20. Sous quelles conditions et dans quelle mesure peut-on comprendre, pour des navires, la durée de la traversée dans le temps fixé pour la quarantaine ?\n\n21. Quels sont les principes qui seront appliqués :\n   - (a) aux effets qui servent à l'usage de personnes,\n   - (b) aux animaux vivants,\n   - (c) aux marchandises,\n   - (d) aux comestibles,\n   - (e) aux navires, wagons, voitures, etc., pour les admettre à la libre pratique sans qu'ils n'aient été désinfectés ou après qu'ils l'ont été ?\n\n22. En quoi consiste la désinfection :\n   - (a) des personnes,\n   - (b) des effets à leur usage,\n   - (c) des animaux vivants,\n   - (d) des marchandises,\n   - (e) des moyens de transport ?

ORIGINE ET GENÈSE DU CHOLERA; ENDÉMICITÉ ET ÉPIDÉMICITÉ DE CETTE MALADIE DANS L'INDE\n\nLe choléra asiatique, susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique), se développe spontanément dans l'Inde, et c'est toujours du dehors qu'il arrive, quand il éclate dans d'autres pays.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\nIl ne revêt pas le caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n##### II. QUESTIONS DE TRANSMISSIBILITÉ\n\n1°. Transmissibilité par l'Homme\n\nLa Conférence accepte la transmissibilité du choléra par l'homme venant d'un milieu infecté; elle ne considère l'homme comme pouvant être la cause spécifique, qu'en dehors de l'influence de la localité infectée; en outre, elle le regarde comme le propagateur du choléra, lorsqu'il vient d'un endroit où le germe de la maladie existe déjà.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n2°. Transmissibilité par les Effets à Usage\n\nLe choléra peut être transmis par les effets à usage provenant d'un lieu infecté, et spécialement par ceux qui ont servi aux cholériques; et même il résulte de certains faits, que la maladie peut être importée au loin par ces mêmes effets renfermés à l'abri du contact de l'air libre.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n3°. Transmissibilité par les Aliments et les Boissons\n\n(a) Aliments:\nLa Conférence, ne possédant pas de preuves concluantes pour la transmission du choléra par les aliments, ne se croit pas autorisée à prendre une décision à cet égard.\nRésultat du vote: 11 oui, 7 non.\n\n(b) Boissons:\nLe choléra peut être propagé par les boissons, particulièrement par l'eau.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n4°. Transmissibilité par les Animaux\n\nOn ne connaît aucun fait prouvant la transmissibilité du choléra par les animaux à l'homme, mais il est très-rationnel d'en admettre la possibilité.\nRésultat du vote: 10 oui, 2 non, 6 abstentions.",

        "content_text": "# Arr. No. 2. Abstract of Proceedings\n\n## 5o. De la Transmissibilité par les Marchandises\n\nTout en constatant, à l'unanimité, l'absence de preuves à l'appui de la transmission du choléra par les marchandises, la Conférence a admis la possibilité du fait dans certaines conditions.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 5 abstentions.\n\n## 6o. Transmissibilité par les Cadavres Cholériques\n\nBien qu'il ne soit pas prouvé par des faits concluants que les cadavres de cholériques puissent transmettre le choléra, il est prudent de les considérer comme dangereux.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## 7°. Transmissibilité par l'Atmosphère seule\n\nAucun fait n'est venu prouver jusqu'ici que le choléra puisse se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule, dans quelque condition qu'elle soit; en outre, c'est une loi, sans exception, que jamais une épidémie de choléra ne s'est propagée d'un point à un autre dans un temps plus court que celui nécessaire à l'homme pour s'y transporter.\n\nL'air ambiant est le véhicule principal de l'agent générateur du choléra; mais la transmission de la maladie par l'atmosphère reste, dans l'immense majorité des cas, limitée à une distance très-rapprochée du foyer d'émission. Quant aux faits cités de transport par l'atmosphère à un ou plusieurs milles de distance, ils ne sont pas suffisamment concluants.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## 8°. Action de l'Air sur la Transmissibilité\n\nIl résulte de l'étude des faits qu'à l'air libre le principe générateur du choléra perd rapidement son activité morbifique, telle est la règle; mais dans certaines conditions particulières de confinement, cette activité peut se conserver pendant un temps indéterminé.\n\nLe choléra peut être transmis par les effets à usage provenant d'un lieu infecté, et spécialement par ceux qui ont servi aux cholériques; et même il résulte de certains faits que la maladie peut être importée au loin par ces mêmes effets renfermés à l'abri du contact de l'air libre.\n\nLes grands déserts sont une barrière très-efficace contre la propagation du choléra, et il est sans exemple que cette maladie ait été importée en Egypte ou en Syrie, à travers le désert, par les caravanes parties de la Mecque.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## III. Durée de l'Incubation\n\nDans presque tous les cas, la période d'incubation, c'est-à-dire le temps écoulé entre le moment où un individu a pu contracter l'intoxication cholérique et le début de la diarrhée prémonitoire ou du choléra confirmé, ne dépasse pas quelques jours. Tous les faits cités d'une incubation plus longue se rapportent à des cas qui ne sont pas concluants, ou bien parce que la diarrhée prémonitoire a été comprise dans la période d'incubation, ou bien parce que la contamination a pu avoir lieu après le départ du lieu infesté.\n\nL'observation montre que la durée de la diarrhée cholérique, dite prémonitoire - qu'il ne faut pas confondre avec toutes les diarrhées qui existent en temps de choléra - ne dépasse pas quelques jours.\n\nLes faits cités comme exceptionnels ne prouvent pas que les cas de diarrhée qui se prolongent au-delà appartiennent au choléra, et soient susceptibles de transmettre la maladie, quand l'individu atteint a été soustrait à toute cause de contamination.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 1 non, 4 abstentions.\n\n## IV. Questions de la Désinfection\n\n### 1o. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection, grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ?\n\nRésultat du vote: 12 non, 7 abstentions.\n\n### 2o. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection, grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut avec quelque chance de succès être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ?\n\nRésultat: 13 oui, 6 non.\n\n### 3o. La science ne connaît pas encore de moyens désinfectants certains et spécifiques\n\nEn conséquence, la Conférence reconnaît une grande valeur aux mesures hygiéniques telles que: aération, lotions profondes, nettoyage, etc., combinées avec l'emploi des substances regardées actuellement comme désinfectants.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## DEUXIÈME PARTIE, QUESTIONS DES QUARANTAINES\n\n### I. Quarantaines de Terre\n\nConsidérant que les quarantaines de terre sont inexécutables et inutiles, vu les nombreux moyens de communication qui augmentent de jour en jour; considérant en outre qu'elles portent des atteintes graves aux intérêts commerciaux, la Conférence rejette les quarantaines de terre.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 4 non, 2 abstentions.\n\n### II. Quarantaines Maritimes\n\n#### I. Mesures à prendre en dehors de l'Europe\n\nEn vue de prévenir de nouvelles invasions du choléra en Europe, la Conférence approuve les mesures recommandées par la Conférence de Constantinople, notamment les quarantaines dans la Mer-Rouge et dans la Mer-Caspienne.\n\nCes quarantaines devront être instituées et organisées d'une manière complète et satisfaisante, selon les maximes d'hygiène les plus rigoureuses.\n\n#### II. Mesures à prendre dans les Ports de l'Europe\n\nLorsque le choléra a fait invasion en Europe, la Conférence recommande le système d'inspection médicale, mais pour les États qui préfèrent maintenir les quarantaines, elle établit les bases d'un règlement quarantenaire.",

        "content_text": "341 \n\n**AFP. No.**\n\n**Abstract of Proceedings**\n\n226 \n\n## A. Système de l'Inspection médical\n\n1. Il y aura, dans chaque port ouvert au commerce, une autorité sanitaire composée de médecins et d'administrateurs, aidés par un personnel de service. Le nombre des membres de ces différentes catégories variera dans chaque port selon l'importance du mouvement maritime, mais il devra être suffisant pour pouvoir accomplir dans toutes les circonstances et avec rapidité les mesures exigées pour les navires, les équipages, et les passagers.\n\nLe chef de ce service sera toujours tenu au courant par des communications officielles de l'état sanitaire de tous les ports infectés de choléra.\n\n2. Les navires provenant d'un port net, n'ayant (d'après la déclaration, sous serment, du capitaine) touché dans leur voyage aucun port intermédiaire suspect, ni communiqué directement avec aucun navire suspect, et sur lesquels durant le voyage on n'aura constaté aucun cas suspect ou confirmé de choléra, auront la libre pratique.\n\n4. Les navires provenant d'un port suspect ou infecté et ceux provenant de ports non suspects, mais qui ont eu dans le voyage des relations intermédiaires compromettantes, ou sur lesquels il y a eu durant la traversée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, seront soumis dès leur arrivée à une visite médicale rigoureuse pour constater l'état sanitaire du bord.\n\n4. S'il résulte de la visite médicale qu'il n'existe parmi les hommes de l'équipage et les passagers aucun cas suspect de maladie ou de mort de choléra, le navire, avec tout ce qu'il renferme, sera admis à la libre pratique. Mais si des cas de choléra ou de nature suspecte se sont manifestés à bord durant la traversée, le navire, les vêtements et les effets à usage des gens de l'équipage et des passagers seront soumis d'abord à une désinfection rigoureuse, bien que l'équipage et les passagers aient été trouvés indemnes du choléra dans le port.\n\n5. S'il y a à l'arrivée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, les malades seront immédiatement transportés dans un lazaret ou dans un local isolé pouvant en tenir lieu et prêt à les recevoir; les cadavres seront jetés à la mer avec les précautions d'usage ou ensevelis après avoir été convenablement désinfectés; les passagers et l'équipage seront soumis à une désinfection rigoureuse, et le navire lui-même sera désinfecté, après qu'on en aura éloigné les passagers et la partie du personnel de l'équipage qui n'est pas nécessaire à la désinfection et à la surveillance.\n\nLes vêtements et les effets à usage des malades et même des passagers sains seront assujettis, dans un local spécial et sous le contrôle rigoureux de l'autorité sanitaire, à une radicale désinfection.\n\nAprès cette désinfection, les effets seront rendus aux passagers et aux personnes de l'équipage qui seront admis à libre pratique.\n\n6. Les marchandises débarquées seront admises à libre pratique, à l'exception des chiffons et autres objets susceptibles, que l'on devra soumettre à une radicale désinfection.\n\n## B. Système des Quarantaines, Provenances de Ports Infectés\n\n1°. Les provenances de ports infectés sont soumises à une observation variant de 1 à 7 jours pleins selon les cas, orientaux de l'Europe, et ailleurs dans certains cas exceptionnels. Dans les ports des Etats seulement, la durée de l'observation peut être portée à 10 jours.\n\n227 \n\n**AFP. No. 3**\n\n**Abstract of Proceedings**\n\n2°. Si l'autorité sanitaire a la preuve suffisante qu'aucun cas de choléra ou de nature suspecte n'a eu lieu à bord durant la traversée, la durée de l'observation est de 3 à 7 jours, à dater de l'inspection médicale.\n\n| Condition | Durée de l'observation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Traversée d'au moins 7 jours | 24 heures |\n\nSi dans ces conditions la traversée a duré au moins 7 jours, l'observation est réduite à 24 heures pour les constatations et les désinfections qui pourraient être jugées nécessaires.\n\nDans les cas de cette catégorie, la quarantaine d'observation peut être purgée à bord, tant qu'aucun cas de choléra ou d'accidents suspects ne s'est manifesté, et si les conditions hygiéniques du navire le permettent.\n\nDans ces cas, le déchargement du navire n'est point obligatoire.\n\n3°. En cas de choléra ou d'accidents suspects soit durant la traversée, soit après l'arrivée, la durée de l'observation pour les personnes non malades est de 7 jours pleins, à dater de leur isolement dans un lazaret ou dans un endroit pouvant en tenir lieu.\n\nLes malades sont débarqués et reçoivent les soins convenables dans un local isolé et séparé des personnes en observation.\n\nLe navire et tous les objets susceptibles sont soumis à une désinfection rigoureuse, après laquelle les personnes restées à bord du navire sont assujetties à une observation de 7 jours.\n\n4°. Les provenances des ports suspects, c'est-à-dire voisins d'un port où règne le choléra et ayant des relations libres avec ce port, peuvent être soumises à une observation, qui n'excédera pas 5 jours, si aucun accident suspect ne s'est produit à bord.\n\n## Dispositions diverses\n\n5°. Les navires chargés d'émigrants, de pèlerins, et, en général, tous les navires jugés particulièrement dangereux pour la santé publique, peuvent, dans les conditions mentionnées précédemment, être l'objet de précautions spéciales que déterminera l'autorité sanitaire du port d'arrivée.\n\n6°. Lorsque les ressources locales ne permettent pas d'exécuter les mesures ci-dessus prescrites, le navire infecté est dirigé sur le plus prochain lazaret, après avoir reçu tous les secours que réclame sa position.\n\n7°. Un navire provenant d'un port infecté, qui a fait escale dans un port intermédiaire et y a reçu libre pratique sans avoir fait de quarantaine, est considéré et traité comme provenant d'un port infecté.\n\n8°. Dans les cas de simple suspicion, les mesures de désinfection ne sont pas de rigueur, mais elles peuvent être pratiquées toutes les fois que l'autorité sanitaire le jugera convenable.\n\n9°. Un port où le choléra règne épidémiquement ne doit plus appliquer de quarantaine proprement dite, mais doit pratiquer seulement des mesures de désinfection.\n\n## C - Dispositions Communes aux Deux Systèmes (Inspection médicale.—Quarantaines)\n\nI. Le capitaine, le médecin, et les officiers du bord sont tenus de déclarer à l'autorité sanitaire tout ce qu'ils peuvent savoir d'apparition suspecte de maladie parmi l'équipage et les passagers.\n\n87344",

Il serait à désirer qu'une entente internationale s'établit à ce sujet.\n\n2. La désinfection soit des effets à usage, soit des navires, sera opérée par les procédés que les autorités compétentes de chaque pays jugeront les mieux appropriés aux circonstances.\n\nLa Conférence adopte: 21 oui, 1 abstention.\n\nLa Conférence exprime le vœu qu'une loi pénale applicable aux contraventions sanitaires soit édictée dans l'Empire Ottoman.\n\nRésultat du vote: 15 oui, 4 non, 3 abstentions.\n\nIII.\n\nQUARANTAINES FLUVIALES.\n\nToutes les raisons produites, pour démontrer que les quarantaines par terre sont impracticables et inutiles pour empêcher la propagation du choléra, sont également valables pour les quarantaines dans le cours des fleuves.\n\nToutefois les mesures recommandées dans le système de l'inspection médicale adopté par la Conférence peuvent y être appliquées aux navires ayant le choléra à bord.\n\nQuant aux ports de l'embouchure, ils rentrent dans la catégorie des ports maritimes, et par conséquent les mêmes mesures y sont applicables.\n\nRésultat du vote: 19 oui, 3 abstentions.\n\nTROISIÈME PARTIE.\n\nPROJET DE CRÉATION D'UNE COMMISSION INTERNATIONALE PERMANENTE DES ÉPIDÉMIES.\n\nI.\n(But. - Utilité.)\n\nIl sera institué à Vienne une Commission Sanitaire Internationale Permanente, ayant pour objet l'étude des maladies épidémiques.\n\nII. (Attributions.)\n\nLes attributions de cette Commission seront purement scientifiques; elle pourra être consultée dans les questions scientifiques.\n\nLa Commission aura pour tâche principale l'étude du choléra, au point de vue de l'étiologie et de la prophylaxie.\n\nNéanmoins elle pourra comprendre dans ses études les autres maladies épidémiques.\n\nÀ cet effet, elle tracera un programme comprenant les recherches devant être entreprises d'une manière uniforme par tous les États contractants, sur l'étiologie et la prophylaxie du choléra et des autres maladies épidémiques.\n\nElle fera connaître le résultat de ses travaux.\n\nEnsuite elle pourra proposer la convocation de conférences sanitaires internationales, et elle sera chargée d'élaborer le programme de ces conférences.\n\n229\n\nIII.\n(Composition - Fonctionnement.)\n\nLa commission sera composée de médecins délégués par les Gouvernements participants. Il y aura au siège de la Commission un bureau à résidence fixée, chargé de centraliser les travaux et de donner suite aux délibérations de la Commission générale. La nomination et la composition de ce bureau sont laissées aux soins de la Commission générale.\n\nLes Gouvernements des États participants donneront à leurs autorités sanitaires et à leurs conseils d'hygiène publique les instructions nécessaires pour fournir à la Commission internationale tous les renseignements relatifs aux questions qui rentrent dans le cercle de ses études.\n\nDans les pays où des conseils sanitaires internationaux sont établis, ceux-ci fourniront tous les renseignements qu'ils possèdent, et prescriront les recherches nécessaires.\n\nIV.\n(Voies et Moyens.)\n\nLes frais nécessités pour le fonctionnement de la Commission internationale seront répartis entre les divers États intéressés, et seront réglés par voie diplomatique.\n\nV.\n(Postes et Missions.)\n\nDans les pays où il n'y a pas de service sanitaire organisé, les études seront faites, avec l'assentiment du Gouvernement local, par les missions temporaires ou par des médecins en résidence fixe.\n\nCes missions et ces postes sanitaires fixes, institués par voie internationale, seront créés d'après les indications de la Commission internationale, recevront d'elle leurs instructions, et lui rendront compte de leurs travaux.\n\n(Article Additionnel.)\n\nIl serait à désirer qu'un conseil de santé international, analogue à ceux qui fonctionnent avec tant d'avantage à Constantinople et à Alexandrie, fût institué en Perse.\n\nUn tel conseil contribuerait beaucoup, par l'autorité de ses avis, donnés en connaissance de cause, à améliorer les conditions sanitaires de ce pays, et serait en même temps un puissant moyen de protection contre l'invasion des épidémies en Europe.\n\nANNEXE À L'ARTICLE II. DU PROJET DE CRÉATION D'UNE COMMISSION INTERNATIONALE DES ÉPIDÉMIES.\n\nComme premières recherches, la Commission pourrait s'occuper des questions suivantes :\n\nI. L'étude régulière et suivie de la quantité de pluie et de la quantité d'eau d'évaporation pendant l'année dans les stations suivantes :\n\n| Station         |\n|-----------------|\n| Bender Bouschir |\n| Ispahan         |\n| Téhéran         |\n| Tauris          |\n| Suez            |\n| Alexandrie      |\n| Astrakan        |\n| Bakou           |\n| Tiflis          |\n\n*Voir quelques exemples à l'Annexe.\n\n*Voir la proposition de Monsieur de Pettenkofer.\n\nPage 342",

Il est vrai que jusqu'à ces derniers temps, le Gouvernement Indien accordait aux correspondances échangées avec les offices participants de la Cochinchine Française et des Indes néerlandaises une modération de taxe de 15 centimes par mot par rapport aux correspondances des Offices non-adhérentes situés à l'Est des Indes.

Cadets appointed to Hong Kong will be expected to learn Chinese only, but those appointed to the Straits will be called upon to study Malay, Chinese, or both, as the Colonial Government may direct, after their arrival in the Colony.\n\nI. The cadets are appointed after a competitive examination before the Civil Service Commissioners from amongst candidates nominated by the Secretary of State.\n\nThe examinations for these appointments will commence on the first Tuesday of August in each year. The number of candidates to be selected will be determined by the Secretary of State according to the requirements of the service.\n\nWhen applications to the Secretary of State for nominations proceed from persons of whom he has no direct knowledge, they should be accompanied by recommendations from persons known to him, or occupying positions of professional or other distinction.\n\nII. Each candidate must be between the ages of 19 and 24 on the first day of examination and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that he is duly qualified in respect of health and character.*\n\nIII. The heads of examination are as follows:\n\n### A.-OBLIGATORY\n\n1. Exercises designed to test handwriting and orthography.\n2. Arithmetic, including vulgar and decimal fractions.\n3. Latin and one of the following languages, Greek, French, German, Italian. The qualifying test will be translation from the language; but marks will be given also for translation into it, and in the case of modern languages for colloquial proficiency.\n4. English composition including précis writing.\n5. Pure and mixed mathematics.\n\n### B.-OPTIONAL\n\n6. Geography and ancient or modern history, including a period to be selected by the candidate.\n7. The elements of constitutional and international law and political economy.\n8. Geology, civil engineering, and surveying.\n\nEvery candidate must show a competent knowledge of the first four subjects and may select any two of the optional subjects.\n\nIV. Priority of choice of Colony will be given to successful candidates according to their position in the competitive examination.\n\nV. A professorship of Chinese having been lately founded at Oxford, the successful candidates in each yearly examination will be required to proceed to the University in the next October term, and to remain there for two years for the purpose of studying that language. They will also be expected to direct their attention to the study of law and political economy. Arrangements have been entered into with the Master and fellows of Balliol College by which the cadets will be enabled to enjoy the privileges of membership, and will be subject to the supervision of the college authorities without the necessity of going through the matriculation examination required for undergraduates, or of proceeding to a degree.

May, Acting Colonial Secretary, the Honourable Phineas Ryrie, and the Honourable Thomas Child Hayllar, Q.C.\n\n**GOVERNMENT HOUSE,  \nHONGKONG, 30th September, 1878.**\n\nGENTLEMEN,- Having recently obtained from Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent of Police, a Report and some Returns relating to the Night Duties of the Police, I should be glad if you would do me the favour to associate yourselves as a Committee to consider those papers and some others on the same subject, which I enclose, and to make such enquiries as you deem necessary with a view of suggesting a more efficient disposition of the Police Force.\n\n2. In Mr. DEANE's Report he observes that the Beat book has been virtually unaltered since 1874, and that he has rarely enough men to fill all the beats, in which case he has to give one man charge of two beats. The continuance of such a system since 1874 cannot be fair to Mr. DEANE and the Police Force, nor can it provide in the most efficient manner for the due security of life and property.\n\n3. Amongst the papers enclosed I have therefore included the Annual Reports of the Captain Superintendent of Police since 1874, together with a letter written by Mr. DEANE in November last on the apparent increase of crime in Hongkong of late years. I should be glad if you would favour me with your opinions on the matters embraced in those Reports and in that Letter.\n\n4. I have requested Mr. DEANE and Mr. CREAGH to attend any sittings of the Committee at which you may require their presence, and to give you whatever information or explanations you may deem necessary; and I hereby authorize you to call before you any Inspector or other member of the Police Force for the same purpose. Any other public record or document, in addition to the enclosed, that you may desire to consult shall be placed at your disposal.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nGentlemen,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \nJ. POPE HENNESSY, Governor.\n\n## SCHEDULE AND PRÉCIS OF DOCUMENTS LAID BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.\n\n1. Minute of His Excellency the Governor on the Police Report of the Burglary in the Caine Road on the night of the 29th of August, 1878, calling for a Report on the night duties of the Police, with the beats, number of men, &c. at that date, and at the same date in 1876 and 1877.\n\nReport of the Captain Superintendent of Police, dated 3rd September, 1878, transmitting the information called for, with further minutes and returns on the same subject, and letters from the Captain Superintendent suggesting certain changes.\n\n2. Letters from Bank Managers, dated 27th September, 1878, as to increased night patrols, with correspondence and minutes thereon.\n\n3. Police Report and Returns of Crime for the year 1874, (as published in the `Government Gazette`, February, 1875).\n\n4.

        "content_text": "better for this Colony to have plenty of steamers entering and leaving the port, to say nothing of postal facilities, and as the Colony would not be called upon to pay more than they were paying now under the Postal union, he thought they could not be doing wrong in making some further representations to the Government under the fresh circumstances which had come to light.\n\n## \n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he was not at all of opinion that they would cease to have constant communication between the ports were the subsidy withdrawn. It was undoubtedly a serious fact for the Government to pay a subsidy for the Yokohama line when the service was so fully performed at present by the steamers from San Francisco and other vessels, and he did not think there would be any change in the intentions of the Government. Statements in the American papers with regard to the stoppage of the American line were not, he imagined, authorised, and were those steamers withdrawn most undoubtedly the trade would be taken up by others.\n\nMr **KYRIE** said he thought the Committee might be requested to reconsider their letter and, if they found it advisable, to modify or change it.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he thought that would be quite agreeable to the Committee to take the letter again into their most serious consideration.\n\nMr **KYRIE** asked Mr **McIVER** if he would second a motion of the nature he had indicated.\n\nMr **McIVER** replied that he certainly would. He thought there was not much likelihood of the Yokohama line being continued if the subsidy were withdrawn.\n\nMr **RYRIE** then proposed \"That with reference to the Postal service between this Port and Yokohama, in view of the action taken by the Yokohama community and other circumstances, the Committee be requested to reconsider their opinion, and, if they can see cause, to modify or alter the same.\"\n\nMr **McIVER** seconded the motion.\n\nOn the motion being put to the meeting, there were three votes for and seven against the motion.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** thereupon declared that the motion was lost.\n\nMr **DEACON** drew attention to the paragraph in the Report respecting the Stamp Ordinance, and said he moved the resolution at the last meeting of the Chamber that drafts and cheques payable to bearer or order drawn out of the Colony be subject only to a Stamp of two cents. He should like to know what the Government intended doing.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** was understood to say that the Government did not propose to reduce the value of the stamp in question, and that the Committee had approved of the provisions of the new Ordinance.\n\nMr **DRAGON** expressed his regret at this, and said they would find in every British Colony and at Home that the stamp was only a penny.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the Government still had the matter under consideration.\n\n## NEW MEMBERS\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** proposed and Mr **Bottomley** seconded that Messrs. Davis and Company be admitted as members of the Chamber.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nMr **W. H. FOX** moved and Mr **Kayberg** seconded that Messrs. Lee Sing of the Sing Bling Hong, Lee Tak Cheong of the Sunshine Opium Firm, and Ching Sing Yeong of the Tak On Bank be elected members of the Chamber.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he believed this was the first time that Chinese had been proposed as members of the Chamber. That was a general Chamber of Commerce, and it appeared to him that the presence of Chinese amongst them might be frequently of considerable advantage. There were matters connected with the Blockade business, Stamp Acts, and other important matters, upon which they might be able to furnish a great deal of useful information. This was, however, the first time that Chinese had been proposed, and he thought therefore their election was a matter to which due consideration should be given.\n\nMr **MACEWAN** asked if the proposed members were known to be partners in the Hongs mentioned in connection with their names.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he had no doubt the proposer and seconder had satisfied themselves on that point. He knew nothing about them.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** thought the Chinese should enter the Chamber under the Hong names and not as individuals. There were constant changes going on in the native firms, as to who were partners and who were not.\n\nMr **RYRIE** agreed with Mr **Linstead's** remarks. He thought the Chinese should be called upon to enter the Chamber in the name of their firms.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** said that at present they had no knowledge as to who the individuals of firms were; such information was entirely kept from them. The members of the native firms were not advertised in and out, like foreigners. He thought they ought to enter the Chamber with the full responsibility attached to the Hong name.\n\nMr **ARNHOLD** agreed with what had been said on this subject. He had personally no knowledge of the individuals proposed; but the names of the Hongs only were known to him.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the matter might be left for consideration of the Committee, that body having power to elect them under the Hong name, such election to be confirmed at the next meeting.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** then proposed \"That this meeting while fully recognising the desirability of Chinese firms of standing and respectability being admitted as members of this Chamber, consider that the membership should be that of the firm under its trading Hong name and not that of an individual partner or representative of the Hong, of whom the Chamber may have no knowledge, and that the election of the firms named be left to the discretion of the Committee.\"\n\nMr **NELSON** expressed his agreement with the remarks that had been made on the subject, and seconded the motion.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\n## ELECTION OF COMMITTEE\n\nThe following was the result of the ballot for the members of Committee :-Messrs Keswick, Hoppits, Arnhold, Jackson, Dalrymple, Nelson, Kyrie, Bellion, and Kay.\n\nMr **NELSON** proposed, and Mr **Hassell** seconded, that Mr **Keswick** be elected Chairman for the year. Carried unanimously.\n\nMr **KESWICK** said he was very much obliged; he had hoped he would be excused, but it had been urged upon him, and he would endeavour to do what he could for the benefit of the Chamber.\n\nMr **RYRIE** proposed and Mr **Linstead** seconded that Mr **Nelson** be elected Vice-Chairman for the year; which proposition was unanimously carried.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** then asked if any member had any remarks to make on general matters.\n\n## DEPUTATION TO SIR THOS. WADE\n\nMr **RYRIE** observed that it would be advisable to indicate the opinion of the meeting as to how they were to approach Sir Thomas Wade, by deputation or by memorial, to lay before him their grievances as to the new ports. He was in favour of a deputation, to give a frank explanation of their own ideas, and if possible of hearing his views in return. He would propose that the deputation be formed of the whole Committee, or that the entire Chamber wait upon the Minister, as they might recollect was done on a former occasion with Sir Rutherford Alcock. If the Committee formed the deputation, they might form a précis of what should be brought before him.\n\nMr **BELLIOS** agreed upon the Chamber thus calling the Minister's attention to the Blockade. The arrangement promised in the Convention was an equitable one, and it was important to expedite it, and settle it one way or the other.\n\nMr **GRANVILLE SHARP** said there was little only that was new to be said, and the subject was so thoroughly understood, that any remarks might be dispensed with but for the great necessity existing of proving to the Governments here and at home that we were still where we were—i.e., determined to obtain the abolition of the Blockade. He then referred to the Tientsin Treaty (Art. 20) and the basis proposed by the Hongkong Government to Sir T. Wade.\n\n| Basis Proposed |\n| --- |\n| 1. That the three Throat Gate Stations shall be retained for collection of duties and war-tax and delivery of receipts and clearances. |\n| 2. That junks clearing from Hongkong shall hand in manifests, pay duties, and receive clearances at one or other of such stations. |\n| 3. That junks coming to Hongkong shall stop at one or other of such stations for examination and payment of export duties if such have not been already paid. |\n| 4. That no duties whatsoever shall be demanded from junks coming to Hongkong from Ports in China save such export duties as are payable at the respective ports of clearance. |\n| 5. That a tariff of dues and duties leviable on goods shipped by Chinese junks from Hongkong shall be agreed upon and published, as also the penalties for breach of Regulations. |\n| 6. Rules to the adjudication of seizures. |\n| 7. That all Revenue Cruisers shall be under the jurisdiction of the officer appointed to the Government for such special service. |",

XXIV. \n\n### SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR ON THE COLONIAL FINANCES.\n\nThe following Report, extracted from the Daily Press, is published for general information. \n\n#### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on Thursday, the 15th October. There were present- \nHis Excellency Governor POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. \nHonourable F. SNOWDEN, (Acting Chief Justice). \nHonourable C. MAX, (Acting Colonial Secretary). \nHonourable G. PHILLIPPO, (Attorney General). \nHonourable J. M. PRICE, (Acting Colonial Treasurer). \nHonourable P. RYRIE. \nHonourable W. KESWICK, \nHonourable H. LOWCOCK. \nHonourable T. C. HAYLLAR, Q.C. \n\n##### THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, in accordance with that which is the loyal practice in all Colonies of Her Majesty's Empire where anything concerning the Royal Family comes before the Council, I rise to ask you to suspend the standing orders for the purpose of enabling me to propose a vote of £110 for a portrait of the late Prince Consort. I mentioned to some of my Honourable friends on the Council last year, that certain native visitors, who had come to see me at Government House, noticed that we had no portrait of the Prince Consort on the walls, and, being Chinese gentlemen, they expressed surprise that, while we had portraits of the Princes, there was no portrait of their illustrious father. My Chinese friends were not ignorant of Prince ALBERT's unrivalled fame as an exalted Public Character and as a noble model of domestic life. Taking the hint so given, I communicated with the Secretary of State. My despatch was laid before the Queen and Her Majesty has herself been graciously pleased to select a portrait of the Prince Consort by WINTERHALTER, in the uniform of the Rifle Brigade, as the portrait which will be copied for Hongkong. The copy will be made by Mr. WILLIAMSON, who had been chosen as the artist to do so by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH. I therefore beg to move, with your permission, that we vote a sum of £110 for this purpose, and thus secure a suitable companion picture for the portrait of Her Majesty that was obtained for Government House in 1867.\n\nHonourable W. KESWICK.-Your Excellency, I have pleasure in seconding the motion just proposed. There can be no doubt that the loyalty of every colonist will be gratified by seeing the portrait of the late Prince Consort at Government House. There probably has been no man in so exalted a position who so well remembered that great powers and natural gifts bring to their possessor not so much privileges as duties. I have pleasure in seconding the motion.\n\n##### THE FINANCES OF THE COLONY.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, it will be in the recollection of Members of the Council that last year, in accordance with the usual practice in the Colony, I laid before the Council my Financial Statement, when submitting the Estimates for 1878. On that occasion, I mentioned to the Council that I had taken, in one respect, an unusual course. I said:-\"Some time ago, towards the end of September, I gave to the Finance Committee the trouble of looking over the Estimates of Expenditure for 1878. It is not usual for a Governor to do so, but this being the first time I had had to prepare the Estimates for this Colony, I thought it well to be guided by their greater local experience, and accordingly the Estimates came before them.\" Well, gentlemen, I had to consider this year how far that innovation had worked well or otherwise, and, being of opinion that it worked remarkably well, I have this year also troubled the Finance Committee to look into the Estimates of Expenditure, the various proposals that have been made by heads of departments, increases of salaries, &c., and the Finance Committee from time to time have met and considered those proposals, and before next month, I trust that they will have had before them the whole of the proposed Estimates of Expenditure for the year 1879.",

        "content_text": "# 223\n\nMr. Sinclair writing on May 28 seems to accept the four Propositions of the Government with some reservation; and he tells us that certain rules have been promulgated in the meantime (date uncertain).\n\nThese are the rules printed at p. 21 of the précis herein (such. to No.18). They were sent to Mr. Hennessy at least as long ago as March 1878 - but he has never sent them home, and does not even allude to their existence.\n\nHe informs us that he had discussed them with Sir Thomas Wade and excuses his own apparent inaction.\n\nWe cannot accept Mr. Sinclair's views, which are doubtless those of the Community - Capt. Elliot, R.N., meant, we had the same form of protest to file with Mr. Hennessy. The Chinese Mandarins on the High Seas, free from collusion with what they place on the Chinese Junks, are utterly embarrassed.\n\nOn the ground that the trade of the port consists in evading the Haikwan duties by giving up something, he considers it entitled to \"watching\"; his cruisers at stations, but here is the whole fallacy - The permission or freedom of the first jurisdiction could not extend beyond the ports, and Ho Haikwan is outside the time.\n\nBut I agree with him that payment of duties in Hong Kong would possibly result in the junk being made to pay any other duties over and above. The only theory for our collusion is that we desire where there is No Custom House: & the Chinese Officials will not become immaculate.\n\nThere are two great objections I think to Mr. Hennessy's proposal. First in principle, the presence of a Chinese Customs Collector on British territory appears to me inadmissible, possibly not approved - Secondly, we make ourselves Chinese revenue officers. If we propose such a law, we must take care that it is not evaded.\n\nThe withdrawal of the cruisers for a time is very desirable.\n\nThe objections are of a very similar nature.\n\nI would reply to the 11217 by sending this & 13827, requesting Mr. Hennessy to comply with the wishes of H.E. on the latter - desiring him to report on the rules, operation of the tariff specified in them with some remark upon his keeping them back and delaying for so long, expressly reporting what excuse he has for his inaction. Submitting correspondence. (Para. 10)\n\nI deem it necessary to add that H.M.'s Govt. are not inclined to approve the introduction of Chinese Customs officers into Hong Kong: amusing as it may be that his scheme affects to throw upon Hong Kong the duty of watching for smugglers, or of allowing his new laws to be evaded; a result would ensue, leading to constant complaints from the Chinese Authorities - and would no doubt be followed soon by the cruisers being again in full swing.\n\nA Chinese is not a British Official, and it is itself a cause of confusion.\n\nPerhaps I may draft to H.E. in reply to 13830 this: asking them to get at the Tariff. There is an additional cause of irritation.\n\n\"Thank Mr. Lacock, and take the opportunity of saying that H.M. Govt. are fully sensible of the irritation which the Community naturally feels at the close proximity of the stations and cruisers, and of H.M.'s cruisers, to which the legitimate traders are subjected by the actions of irresponsible persons in trading... the Canious - but that...\"",

EITEL, ACTING CHINESE SECRETARY, ON THE HONGKONG PENSION SCHEME AS AFFECTING THE CHINESE, AND THE SUPPLY OF INTERPRETERS.\n\n211\n\nIn pursuance of the order of the Governor, of 7th instant, I have prepared for His Excellency the following précis of official papers and report, bearing on the question of pensions for Hongkong Civil Servants, as affecting the Chinese Employés of the Government and the supply of Interpreters.\n\n## I-ASIATIC INTERPRETERS.\n\n1. General question of race distinctions in Pension Rules. From the Imperial Pension Act (4 and 5 Will., Cap. 24) down to the present day, no Act or Minute with reference to pensions of public servants has ever been put in force in the United Kingdom making any distinction of race or birthplace. There are distinctions of \"officer, clerk and person,\" of \"officers in the Army and Navy,\" and \"officers in the Civil and Consular Services.\" There are distinctions of high and low office, of high and low salary. There are distinctions of officers in temporary employ, and officers in the permanent service holding appointments directly from the Crown or on certificate from the Civil Service Commissioners. But nowhere is there any exclusion of public servants from the benefit of Pension on the ground of the country where they are born or on the ground of race-extraction.\n\nThe General Pension Rules of Colonies admitting natives of Asia or Africa into the Civil Service, have uniformly applied the benefit of Pension to all public servants on the permanent establishment drawing salaries above a certain limit, and not being privates or other members of a Police Force for whom special pensions are provided. Neither the Ceylon nor Straits Pension Rules make any distinction of European and Asiatic officers, nor do they exclude any public servant on the permanent establishment on the score of race or birthplace. There is one partial exception to be found in certain special Rules as to Leave of Absence, Passages and Pensions, of Officers on the West Coast of Africa, which took effect on 18th September 1874. For, § 430 of these rules states:\n\n\"Neither do these rules apply to officers being natives of the West Coast of Africa, who will continue to be subject to the rules hitherto in force in regard to leave of absence and pension.\"\n\nIt is easy to see the reason for this distinction. The climate of the Gold Coast is considered deadly to Europeans, but not so to natives. European officers require there 8 months' ordinary leave of absence out of every 24 months, serving in the Colony only two-thirds of the time they are paid for, and spending the rest of the time, even when well, in Madeira or St. Helena. The \"rules hitherto in force\" leave the native Officials in West Africa practically on a par, as far as pension and leave of absence are concerned, with the European and native Officials of Ceylon, Singapore and all other British Colonies.\n\nEnclosure A. Minute by the Governor,\n\n1262.\n\n2. Hongkong Pension Minute of 1862 applied to cases of Asiatics. 1863.\n\nClimate Court.\n\nThe Hongkong Pension Minute of 1862, Clause 16 of which was amended in 1865, has never yet ceased to be in force, though further amendments since proposed have in one or two cases been acted upon. It offers the benefit of pensions to \"all public servants holding offices named in the Civil List Ordinance or offices described in the Annual Estimates of the Fixed Establishment of the Colony, and drawing salaries of thirty pounds and upwards.\" At the time when this Minute was sanctioned, there were on the Fixed Establishment of the Colony numbers of so-called Portuguese, Indian and Chinese public servants drawing salaries of upwards of thirty pounds a year.\n\nAll these officers expected to be entitled to the benefits of the provisions made by the Pension Minute of 1862. As regards the Portuguese, all of whom are natives of Hongkong or Macao, I am not aware that their share in the benefits of the Pension Minute has ever been called in question.\n\nDec.",

Each Candidate must be between the ages of 20 and 23 on the first day of the Examination, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that he is duly qualified in respect of health and character. The Medical Examination does not ordinarily take place until the result of the competition is known, but Candidates may, by application to the Civil Service Commissioners, obtain permission to undergo it earlier.\n\n3rd. The heads of examination are as follows:-\n\nA. Obligatory,\n\n1st. Exercises designed to test Handwriting and Orthography.\n\n2nd. Arithmetic, including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions.\n\n3rd. Latin, and one of the following languages :-Greek, French, German, Italian.\n\n4th. English Composition, including Précis Writing.\n\n5th. Pure and Mixed Mathematics.\n\nB. Optional.\n\n6th. Ancient or Modern History, and Geography,\n\n7th. The Elements of Constitutional and International Law, and Political Economy.\n\n8th. Geology, Civil Engineering, and Surveying.\n\nEvery Candidate must show a competent knowledge of the first four Subjects, and may select any two of the Optional Subjects.\n\nAs at present arranged, a Cadet after his appointment will remain for one year in the country, and will be required to begin learning Chinese and to attend a class for students of Chinese at King's College; he will also be employed during some hours daily at the Colonial Office in the work of the Department. At the end of his year's study in this country the Cadet will be examined in Chinese, and the confirmation of his appointment will depend upon his passing a satisfactory examination, and on his performance of his duties in the Office.\n\nDec.",

        "content_text": "Distinction between public and private vessels.\n\n§ 103g. Merchant vessels in foreign ports.\n\n22\n\nAPPENDIX.\n\nOrtolan: \"Règles Internationales et Diplomatiques de la Mer,\" liv. ii, chap. xiv, page 301.\n\n\"A l'égard des navires de commerce, nous savons que lorsqu'ils se trouvent dans les eaux territoriales d'un Etat étranger, ils ne sont exempts de la police et de la juridiction locales que pour les faits passés à bord qui n'intéressent ni la tranquillité du port ni des personnes étrangères à l'équipage. Pour tous les autres faits ils restent soumis à cette police et à cette juridiction. D'où il suit que l'autorité locale a le droit de se transporter sur ces navires, d'y faire la poursuite, la recherche, et l'arrestation des personnes qui se sont rendues coupables, soit à terre, soit même à bord, de faits passibles de la justice territoriale : sauf l'obligation de bon procédé, qui doit toujours être observée, de donner avis préalable de cette visite, soit au Consul, soit en rade, au Commandant des forces navales militaires dont relève le navire de commerce en question.\"\n\nWheaton: \"International Law,\" Part II, §101. (Dana's Edition. 1866.)\n\n\"Section 101. According to the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States, where, without Treaty, the ports of a nation are open to the public and private ships of a friendly Power, whose subjects have also liberty, without special license, to enter the country for business or amusement, a clear distinction was to be drawn between the rights accorded to private individuals, or private trading vessels, and those accorded to public armed ships which constitute a part of the military force of the nation.\n\n\"When private individuals of one nation spread themselves through another as business or caprice may direct, mingling indiscriminately with the inhabitants of that other; or when merchant vessels enter for the purposes of trade, it would be obviously inconvenient and dangerous to society, and would subject the laws to continual infraction, and the Government to degradation, if such individuals did not owe temporary and local allegiance, and were not amenable to the jurisdiction of the country. Nor can the foreign Sovereign have any motive for wishing such exemption. His subjects, then, passing into foreign countries, are not employed by him, nor are they engaged in national pursuits. Consequently there are powerful motives for not exempting persons of this description from the jurisdiction of the country in which they are found, and no motive for requiring it. The implied license, therefore, under which they enter, can never be construed to grant such exemption.\n\n\"But the situation of a public armed ship was, in all respects, different. She constitutes a part of the military force of her nation, acts under the immediate and direct command of the Sovereign, is employed by him in national objects. He has many and powerful motives for preventing those objects from being defeated by the interference of a foreign State. Such interference cannot take place without seriously affecting his power and his dignity. The implied license, therefore, under which such vessel enters a friendly port, may reasonably be construed, and it seemed to the Court ought to be construed, as containing an exemption from the jurisdiction of the Sovereign, within whose territory she claims the rites of hospitality.\"\n\nWheaton: \"Elements of International Law,\" page 141. (Boyd's Edition. 1878.)\n\n\"A merchant vessel is not in the same position as a ship of war. Every State claims to exercise jurisdiction over its own merchant vessels wherever they are, and even when they are in the waters of another State. But when in a foreign port they must also obey the laws of the country to which the port belongs.* They are thus at the same time subject to two concurrent systems of law. Any State may decline to exercise jurisdiction over foreign merchant vessels in its harbours to whatever extent it pleases, as is the case with France; but the right nevertheless exists, and might be resumed on due notice being given. Thus, a claim by the local officers of France to board the ship, search her, and take out of her any one who has become amenable to the local laws, could not lawfully be resisted or disputed after such due notice.”*\n\nForsyth: \"Cases and Opinions on Constitutional Law,\" page 419.\n\nThe nationality of a merchant vessel depends upon-1, the construction or origin of the vessel; 2, the owners to whom it belongs; 3, the captain, and officers, and crew: Ortolan, tom. i. 180; see Wildman on Search, Capture, and Prize, chap. iii.\n\nIn some countries a territorial character is allowed to foreign merchant vessels in their ports--limited, however, to offences committed by members of the same crew against one another on board the vessel: Ortolan, tom. i. 295. In France a distinction is taken between such offences where the peace of the port is not thereby disturbed, and where they are committed against persons not forming part of the officers and crew, or by any other than a person belonging to the same, or where the peace of the port is disturbed. In acts of the first class, the French Courts decline jurisdiction; in the others they assert it: Wheaton, International Law, s. 102. But no such distinction exists in the English law, which exercises jurisdiction over all criminal offences committed on board foreign merchant ships in British ports.\n\n\"On the question whether the vessels of a nation on the high seas are part of the territory of that nation, see some sensible remarks by Woolsey, International Law, s. 54. He says that it is unsafe to argue on the assumption that they are altogether territory, but, on the other hand, they have certain qualities resembling those of territory: (1) as against their crews on the high seas; (2) as against foreigners who are excluded on the high seas from any act of sovereignty over them, just as if they were part of the soil of their country. Vattel considers ships on the high seas as part of a nation's territory : Liv. i. c. 19, s. 216; ii. c. 7, s. 80. As to ships of war, they are, even in foreign ports, exempt from this local jurisdiction. It seems now established, both in England and America, that no vessel or other property used by the Government for public purposes, whether those purposes be military, fiscal, or of police, are subject to judicial proceedings without the consent of the Government? Wheaton, International Law, s. 63, note 63 (8th edit.): see 'The Lord Hobart,' 2 Dods. Adm. 103; 7 Attorney-General's Opinions, 122. Woolsey observes (International Law, s. 54): In both cases, however, it is on account of the crew rather than of the ship itself that they have any territorial quality. Take the crew away-let the abandoned hulk be met at sea; it now becomes property, and nothing more.'\n\n\"In R. v. Lopez, 27 L. J. (M. C.) 49, it was said, arguendo, by the Counsel for the Crown, that it is a general principle of international law that a ship, public or private, on the high seas is, for the purpose of jurisdiction over crimes, a part of the territory of the country to which it belongs, and that a foreigner going voluntarily on board an English ship, and serving as one of her crew, is as amenable as a British subject on board the ships, and, like a British subject, would be liable in this country for a crime by statute 28 Hen. VIII, c. 15, and 7 and 8 Vict. c. 2: see notes to Chapter VII on Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction, p. 233. And it was contended that the same principle governs the law of America and France, in support of which the following authorities were cited: The United States v. Palmer, 3 Wheat. Rep. 609; The United States v. Holmes, 5 Ibid. 112; Vattel, book i. c. 19, s. 216; Felix, Traité du Droit International Privé, ss. 544, 573; 2 Ortolan, Règles Internationales de la Mer; R. v. Depardo, 1 Taunt 26; R. v. Serva, 1 Den, C. C. 104. In R. v. Lesley, 29 L. J. (M. C.) 101, it was said, per cur. It is clear that an English ship on the high seas, out of any foreign territory, is subject to the laws of England; and persons, whether foreign or English, on board such ship are as much amenable to English laws as they would be on English soil, The same principle has been laid down by foreign writers on international law.'\n\nThey went on board an English ship (of war), which for the purpose may be considered a floating island, and in that ship they became subject to the English laws alone per Holroyd, J., Forbes v. Cochrane, 2 B. & C. 464; and see per Byles, J., in R. v. Anderson, 11 Cox C. C. 205.\n\n\"But although merchant ships on the high seas have some of the attributes of territory, when they arrive in a foreign port they have no privilege, and are considered merely as the property of aliens.\n\n\"The Court of Admiralty has jurisdiction in an action brought by a British subject against a foreign ship for a collision in foreign waters: The Griefswald,' Swabey, Adm. 430,\"\n\nReport on Fugitive Slaves, 1876, p. 26.\n\n23\n\n184",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 |  |  |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong stated that the sentence to be passed on the accused persons, if convicted, was being put to death by the \"slow and painful process,\" a form of Chinese torture known in Europe as slicing into a thousand pieces. He also stated that since the use of torture is prescribed by the Chinese Penal Code, no promise not to torture, even when given by a high authority like a Viceroy, could be considered binding. (Consul Hewlett, No. 14 of the 29th April, 1881; Colonial Office letter of the 2nd March, 1882, Inclosure, pp. 35 and 153.)\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong then appealed to Her Majesty's Minister at Peking, and I am to invite your attention to Sir T. Wade's letter to Governor Sir J. Pope Hennessy of the 8th November, 1881 (`Colonial Office letter of the 2nd March, 1882, Inclosure, p. 287`), which confirms the opinion expressed by Consul Hewlett.\n\nThe thirteen prisoners were eventually released by the Supreme Court of Hong Kong on a writ of habeas corpus due to some informalities in their committal by the magistrate under `Ordinance No. 2 of 1850`, and in the return to the writ. (Ibid., pp. 301 and 347.)\n\nIt appears, however, that another case is now pending in Hong Kong, that of two fugitives whose surrender is claimed by the Chinese Officer Commanding at Kowloon, near Hong Kong, on a charge of piracy.\n\nIn the opinion of the Colonial Attorney-General, the piracy was committed in Chinese waters and is not justiciable by the Supreme Court of Hong Kong as piracy jure gentium. (`Colonial Office letter of the 19th May, 1882, Inclosure, p. 37`) The crime, therefore, is within the Treaty. (`Attorney-General of Hong Kong Kwok-Asing, 5 Law Rep., Priv. Co., 198`) But Consul Hewlett has again reported that the prisoners, if surrendered, will certainly be tortured (`Colonial Office, May 8, 1862`), and it has become necessary to decide what action to take regarding the demand for their surrender and what course to follow in future by Her Majesty's Government with respect to extradition under the Treaty of Tien-tsin.\n\nIn the despatch of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Acting Governor of Hong Kong of the 10th August, 1865 (`Parliamentary Paper, p. 1`), reference is made to a previous despatch, which laid down that the humane administration of justice was an indispensable condition of handing over captured pirates to the Chinese Government for trial and punishment, and, as before stated, it has been the invariable practice since the \"Mo-Wong case\" to require, as a condition of the surrender of a fugitive under the Treaty, an assurance in writing that no torture will be inflicted.\n\nThis promise, however, is not claimable as of right under the Treaty, and the Viceroy, in his letter of the 12th April, 1881, to Consul Hewlett, respecting the case of the thirteen fugitives (`Inclosure in Colonial Office letter of the 2nd March, 1882, p. 207`), observes that \"British officials are bound by unmistakable Treaty provisions to take steps for delivering up Chinese criminals who have taken refuge in Hong Kong\" and that \"as regards the non-employment of torture at the trial and investigation held subsequently to their rendition, this form of procedure was first yielded by the former Viceroy, Jui, by way of concession, and in deference to the wishes of British officials.\"\n\nThe Viceroy, in a further letter dated the 19th December last to Her Majesty's Acting Consul at Canton (`Colonial Office letter of the 19th May, 1882, Inclosure, p. 5`), expressed his astonishment at the release of the thirteen prisoners by the Supreme Court of Hong Kong. The reply to this communication will be found in the `Colonial Office letter of the 27th May, 1882`.\n\nIn view of Sir T. Wade's Report, and especially of the statement therein recorded by one of the Ministers of the Yamen, that he could not understand how a Governor-General (meaning the Viceroy) should have given a promise not to do what he must have known Chinese law would require him to do, Lord Granville is disposed to think\n\n## 3\n\nthat unless and until Her Majesty's Minister at Peking can announce the conclusion of a satisfactory arrangement with the Chinese Government, which will relieve Her Majesty's Government from all apprehension as to the risk of fugitives who may be surrendered by the Hong Kong Government being subjected to torture for any purpose, whether of evidence, confession, or punishment, the Extradition Clause of the Treaty of Tien-tsin should be suspended in its operation, and Chinese criminals taking refuge in Hong Kong should be expelled from the island as persons dangerous to the peace and good order of the Colony. (See `Foreign Office to Colonial Office of the 18th April`, and reply of `Colonial Office of the 5th May`.)\n\nBut before sending instructions in this sense to Sir T. Wade, I am to state that Lord Granville would be glad to be favoured with your opinion as to whether a refusal on the part of Her Majesty's Government to carry out Article XXI of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, pending such an arrangement between the two Governments as above suggested, would give the Chinese Government the right to denounce the whole Treaty. On this point, I am to refer you to the following passage in `1 Calvo, p. 734, § 613`:\n\n\"En thèse générale, si l'on considère la Convention comme un ensemble indivisible, il faut admettre qu'un semblable refus, ne porta-t-il que sur un seul point, rend caduc le Traité tout entier, et cela en vertu de l'axiome que le principal emporte l'accessoire.\n\n\"La non-exécution peut, d'ailleurs, ne porter que sur une clause relativement secondaire et ne pas impliquer l'intention de se soustraire des autres obligations qui découlent du Traité. Dans ce cas, il n'y a pas nécessairement rupture complète et définitive, mais seulement matière à pourparlers et à négociations, en d'autres termes, un effet suspensif jusqu'à ce que les motifs de refus aient pu être appréciés en due forme.\"\n\nIn the event of your being of the opinion that the proposed suspension of extradition under Article XXI would imperil the whole Treaty, I am to request that you will favour Lord Granville with any suggestions that may occur to you to meet the difficulty which has arisen in the present case, and as regards the course to be pursued in future with reference to this question.\n\n251",

        "content_text": "393 \n\n2 \n\nOn the 17th December, 1860, a Treaty was concluded between the Netherlands and Siam, Article XVII of which declared that \"the duties to be levied on merchandise imported by Netherlands vessels into the Kingdom of Siam should not exceed 3 per cent. on their value,\" payable in money or kind at the choice of the importer; and that \"after the payment of the said import duty of 3 per cent. the merchandise might be sold by wholesale or retail, free of any other tax or charge whatsoever.\" State Papers, vol. lviii, p. 262.\n\nA Tariff was annexed to this Treaty, in which no reference was made to spirits. Ibid., p. 268.\n\nBy Article XVIII, however, of the Treaty the Siamese Government reserved to itself the right, at any time thereafter, to impose a single tax or duty upon any article which was, or which might become, a production of Siam, and which was not specified in the Tariff annexed to the Treaty, or was then subject, either directly or indirectly, to a governmental charge of any kind; but the Siamese Government agreed that the said tax or duty, if levied, should be just and reasonable.\n\nOn the 15th August, 1856, a Treaty was concluded between France and Siam, which was followed, on the 7th August, 1867, by a Convention having special reference to the importation of wines and spirits into Siam. By this Convention it was agreed as follows: State Papers, vol. xlvii, p. 993; Ibid., vol. lvii, p. 772.\n\n\"Art. I. Les sujets Français pourront, moyennant l'acquittement d'un droit d'entrée de 3 pour cent de la valeur, importer dans le Royaume de Siam, de quelque pays et sous quelque pavillon que ce soit, des vins et autres boissons fermentées, ainsi que toute espèce de boissons distillées. Ces produits pourront être librement vendus et transportés dans l'intérieur du pays, et leur vente ne sera pas soumise à d'autres charges que celles qui se trouvent indiquées ci-après.\n\n\"Art II. Tout individu qui voudra vendre en détail des boissons fermentées ou distillées de provenance étrangère devra se munir d'un permis spécial. Ce permis sera délivré par l'autorité Siamoise, qui ne pourra jamais le refuser.\n\n\"Art. III. Toutes les fois qu'un permis sera délivré pour la vente en détail de boissons distillées d'une valeur inférieure à 1 fr. 65 c. (un demi-tical) le litre, il n'en pourra être fait usage que pour un seul établissement ou un seul bateau, et que dans les limites d'un district déterminé.\n\n\"Art. IV. La délivrance des permis aura lieu sans frais, mais une taxe annuelle pourra être exigée de tout détaillant qui vendra des boissons distillées d'une valeur inférieure à 1 fr. 65 c. (un demi-tical) le litre, alors même qu'il vendrait simultanément des spiritueux de qualité supérieure. Cette taxe ne devra, en aucun cas, dépasser 45 ticaux.\n\n\"Art. V. Les infractions aux dispositions qui précèdent seront punies d'une amende qui ne pourra excéder 200 ticaux. Si le contrevenant est sujet ou protégé Français, la condamnation à l'amende devra être prononcée par le Consul de France.\n\n\"Art. VI. Les sujets Français devant jouir, aux termes du Traité du 15 Août, 1856, du traitement de la nation la plus favorisée, il est bien entendu qu'ils ne seront tenus de se conformer aux dispositions de la présente Convention qu'autant que les sujets des autres nations y seraient également soumis et les observeraient en toute circonstance.\n\n\"Art. VII. La présente Convention aura une durée fixe de cinq années, à dater de l'échange des ratifications, et elle demeurera ensuite obligatoire d'année en année jusqu'à ce que l'un des deux Gouvernements ait annoncé à l'autre, un an à l'avance, son intention d'en faire cesser les effets. Les deux Gouvernements se réservent d'ailleurs d'y introduire d'un commun accord, à l'expiration du terme assigné à sa durée fixe, les modifications qui seraient jugées nécessaires.” \n\nIn May 1868 the Siamese Government called the attention of Mr. H. Alabaster to this Convention, and asked him to frame Rules and Regulations directing all British subjects at Bangkok to conform to the provisions of the French Treaty, but in the absence of any Treaty between Great Britain and Siam containing stipulations similar to the Treaty between France and Siam, Mr. Alabaster declined to accede to the request of the Siamese Government, but referred home for instructions, when he was authorized to conclude a Convention with the Siamese Government in the identical terms of that concluded on the 7th August, 1867, between the Governments of France and Siam.\n\nTo Mr. Alabaster; September 10, 1868, \n\n3 \n\nIn December 1877, in consequence of a com-",

Ryrie, who was accompanied by upwards of eighty of the signatories, representatives of every class and nationality in the Colony being present.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE, in making the presentation, said—Your Excellency, the pleasing duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you a numerously signed address from the community of this Colony. When I state that this has been a spontaneous movement on the part of all classes in the colony, I state what is absolute fact. I believe that I may be considered the oldest British resident in the Colony, and during the period of my stay here, I have taken part in a good many demonstrations of this kind, and I can truly say that I have never seen more anxiety displayed by its inhabitants to testify by their signatures the feelings they entertained of your high abilities as the head of its executive. (Applause). The address, as you will observe, is numerously signed by all nationalities, but there are still a number of gentlemen anxious to join it who from press of time have not had an opportunity of doing so. With your kind permission their signatures can be appended hereafter. (Applause.) I shall now, with your permission, proceed to read the address:\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT OF HONGKONG, &c., &c., &c.\n\nSIR, We, the undersigned non-official members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, Members of Professions, Merchants, Bankers, and Residents in Hongkong, desire to convey to Your Excellency on the approaching termination of your Administration of the affairs of the Colony an expression of our esteem and regard as well as of our sense of the admirable and effective manner in which you have discharged the duties of your high position.\n\nThe vigour which has been displayed in every department of your Government, the introduction of numerous measures of useful legislation, and the rapidity with which urgently required public works have been promoted and pushed forward within the short period during which you have held office, make evident to us the eminent capacity for affairs which you possess, while the equal administration of executive authority dispensed by you without fear or favour and with a steadfast regard to the public welfare has inspired all classes of our mixed population with complete confidence in the firmness and justice of your rule.\n\nYou have made Government House the centre of social attraction by the liberal and graceful hospitality which has been accorded to the community.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that the Public Service of the Colony will not be deprived for some time to come of your valuable co-operation and that you will resume your former post as Colonial Secretary. We trust that when you do leave us it will be on the occasion of your appointment to higher office under the Crown to which your long and able public career have so well qualified you.\n\nWith the assurance of our profound respect.

        "content_text": "Taid it was a most pernicious system. Mr. Price had told that the giving out of the contracts was in the hands of the Governor, and therefore the paragraph ought to be taken, so far as it referred to the matter of contracts, as referring to the Governor if it referred to any one personally. Mr. Price was not particularised in any way with reference to the giving out of contracts. He then referred to the latter Mr. Price wrote to the Colonial Secretary with reference to stopping the paper supplied to his office. In that letter the following passage occurred-\"Apart from the fact that the subscription to this scurrilous paper is a waste of public money I have grave objections to allowing it inside my office on the grounds of decency and decorum, and I cannot but think some responsibility attaches to the Government for the pecuniary support which it renders month after month to a convicted criminal in his abandoned career\" A more villainous, scandalous libel than this, he said, was hardly heard of in this world.\n\nThe defendant at this point, referring to Mr. Francis, spoke of him as \"his learned friend.”\n\nMr. Francis, interposing, said he wished the defendant would stop calling him his friend. The term was only admissible between barristers. He was not his friend; he would be disgraced to be his friend.\n\nThe defendant then referred to Mr. Francis as \"his learned enemy,\" and afterwards as \"the learned barrister,\" and went on with his address. He spoke at considerable length with reference to Mr. Price's letter and the circumstances attending the correspondence, and said the stopping of the paper was the result of an article which commented severely on what he considered to be a waste of public money, namely, the paying of full salary and travelling expenses to Mr. Price during the time he was on leave because he had been going about the country making investigations in the interests of a tramway company. With reference to the expression \"a convicted criminal\" he said it was true he had served two months in gaol for libelling Mr. D. E. Bandmann, but looking back to that matter he regretted nothing he had said or done. Mr. Price had no right to denounce him to the Government as an abandoned criminal, and though one libel could not be set off against another he thought it ought to be. He referred to the evidence of Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith and Mr. Rose, and contended that the latter, desirous of keeping his appointment, had deliberately perjured himself and, further, that it was impossible for Mr. Rose, with his family, to live honestly on his salary. He went on to refer in sarcastic terms to Mr. Francis's mode of conducting the prosecution, and the terms in which he had referred to himself. Mr. Francis had done himself credit by rising from the humble position of 8d. a day to his present one, but Mr. Francis should exercise a little judgment and discretion when criticising other people's education and position, especially when those other people were people of whom he knew nothing. Mr. Francis was not there to villify him, or attack him personally, to refer to his education or antecedents; all he had to do was, in the interests of his client, to prove that a libel had been committed. With reference to Mr. Francis's repudiation of his friendship, it had not always been thus; Mr. Francis had been proud of his friendship, and had been proud to have services rendered to him by his (the speaker's) newspaper. Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis. That was the Latin Mr. Francis had been studying for years. In conclusion he referred to the fact of his not having the benefit of legal assistance, but said he left his case in the hands of the jury with every confidence.\n\nMr. Francis then replied upon the defence, remarking that he would not take up time with the technical points of law which had been raised, as he had no hesitation in leaving them in his Lordship's hands. Before summing up this in some respects amusing case, he would simply say, with reference to Mr. Fraser-Smith's observations, that he had no recollection of having been at any time rendered any service by the defendant or his paper. He would also, in the interests of the public, correct a mistake he had made; when he (Mr. Francis) left Her Majesty's service he was receiving 4s. 6d. a day, not eightpence. He would just take a glance at the defendant's paper. In the middle of 1882 the defendant was tried and convicted in that court for a criminal libel, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. From that time to this, as the jury were aware, the defendant had distinguished himself and his paper by his violent and most scurrilous attacks upon Mr. Bandmann and upon the court and jury connected with that case. When Mr. Price returned to the colony the paper was full of these scurrilous and indecent attacks upon Mr. Bandmann and the court and jury in his case. Mr. Francis thought the jury would not consider it astonishing that Mr. Price should desire the supply of the paper to his department to be discontinued, and a grave additional reason for his doing so was that, as the defendant had said, it contained many attacks upon the Surveyor-General and his department. He did not think any of the gentlemen of the jury would be willing to admit into their firms, or place in the hands of their clerks, papers containing scurrilous attacks upon themselves. As to the latter Mr. Price sent to the Colonial Secretary, it was a privileged communication which he had a perfect right to send; and it would probably never have seen the light of day had it not been brought forth by the defendant in this case. As Mr. Price had said, he was perfectly entitled to entertain any opinion he pleased of the defendant or his paper. He thought also that the correctness of that opinion would commend itself to every member of the jury. The defendant had supplied them with a motive for his virulent and malicious attacks on Mr. Price, in the same way that he had shown a motive in the Bandmann case, when he let out that a few words had been spoken by Mr. Bandmann reflecting upon Mr. Fraser-Smith and his paper. In this case the motive had been supplied in the evidence as to the refusal of Mr. Price to continue to take the paper in his department. According to the defendant's own statement, he must have been made at once aware of the letter the Surveyor-General had written to the Colonial Secretary, and hence it was that he had attacked Mr. Price at every point on every possible occasion. In his opening address, not having fixed up what evidence he should call, the defendant described himself as the biggest scoundrel in the world if it was true that he had persistently and maliciously attacked a man of whom he knew nothing personally, and had had no communication whatever, for private motives. In doing so he had pronounced judgment upon himself, for he had shown them his private motives, and he was therefore a scoundrel. No fair comments upon public acts were complained of, and had the defendant simply confined himself to his impertinent remarks and crude opinions upon these matters he would have acted within his legitimate right; but what they did complain of was that the defendant persistently attributed to Mr. Price discreditable motives—that Mr. Price was not guided by public interest in his public works, but by self-interest, ambition, and a desire to secure all the good things for his own pocket. The defendant had not confined himself to Mr. Price's acts, but he had made foul and malicious comments upon supposed and imaginary acts. What did the jury think of a man who told them in open court that he was taken by surprise at these proceedings, because he thought editors of newspapers were protected from any consequences of attacks on public officials by some order from home? The cowardly scoundrel—the defendant had applied the latter term to himself, and he had no hesitation in adding the word \"cowardly\"—had vented his spite and malice upon Mr. Price because he thought he was protected from any consequences in doing so. Then as to the statement that he had not written the article—not one word of that was heard from the defendant until just at that time.\n\nThe defendant—That is not true; I stated it in the Police Court when I first appeared.\n\nHis Lordship—I am not aware of that.\n\nThe defendant—It has appeared publicly.\n\nHis Lordship—I am not aware of that either.\n\nMr. Francis—I was in the Police Court, and I have no recollection of any such statement having been made; had it been made, it would have been provided against. Not only did he not repudiate it, but he re-published it eleven days afterwards in his overland edition, and he attempts to bolster up the lying falsehoods in that article by a shallow letter written by his own brother in his own office expressing the belief of the public in the insinuations contained in that paragraph. Mr. Francis went on to ask if that was the conduct of a man actuated by a bona fide desire to act for the public good.\n\nPage 62",

Toutefois, elles déclarent n'accepter, à raison du service de la télégraphie internationale, aucune responsabilité.\n\nArt. 4.\n\nChaque Gouvernement s'engage à affecter au service télégraphique international des fils spéciaux, en nombre suffisant pour assurer une rapide transmission des télégrammes.\n\nCes fils seront établis et desservis dans les meilleures conditions que la pratique du service aura fait connaître.\n\nArt. 5.\n\nLes télégrammes sont classés en trois catégories: 1° Télégrammes d'Etat: ceux qui émanent du Chef de l'Etat, des Ministres, des Commandants en chef des forces de terre et de mer et des Agents diplomatiques ou consulaires des Gouvernements contractants, ainsi que les réponses à ces mêmes télégrammes.\n\n2° Télégrammes de service: ceux qui émanent des Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants et qui sont relatifs, soit au service de la télégraphie internationale, soit à des objets d'intérêt public déterminés de concert par les dites Administrations,\n\n3° Télégrammes privés.\n\nDans la transmission, les télégrammes d'Etat jouissent de la priorité sur les autres télégrammes.\n\nArt. 6.\n\nLes télégrammes d'Etat et de service peuvent être émis en langage secret, dans toutes les relations.\n\nLes télégrammes privés peuvent être échangés en langage secret entre deux Etats qui admettent ce mode de correspondance.\n\nLes Etats qui n'admettent pas les télégrammes privés en langage secret, au départ et à l'arrivée,\n\ndoivent les laisser circuler en transit, sauf le cas de suspension défini à l'article 8.\n\nArt. 7.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes se réservent la faculté d'arrêter la transmission de tout télégramme privé qui paraîtrait dangereux pour la sécurité de l'Etat ou qui serait contraire aux lois du pays, à l'ordre public ou aux bonnes mœurs.\n\nArt. 8.\n\nChaque Gouvernement se réserve aussi la faculté de suspendre le service de la télégraphie internationale pour un temps indéterminé, s'il le juge nécessaire, soit d'une manière générale, soit seulement sur certaines lignes et pour certaines natures de correspondances, à charge par lui d'en aviser immédiatement chacun des autres Gouvernements contractants.\n\nArt. 9.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes s'engagent à faire jouir tout expéditeur des différentes combinaisons arrêtées de concert par les Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants, en vue de donner plus de garanties et de facilités à la transmission et à la remise des correspondances.\n\nElles s'engagent également à le mettre à même de profiter des dispositions prises et notifiées par l'un quelconque des autres Etats, pour l'emploi de moyens spéciaux de transmission ou de remise.\n\nArt. 10.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes déclarent adopter, pour la formation des tarifs internationaux, les bases ci-après:\n\nLa taxe applicable à toutes les correspondances échangées, par la même voie, entre les bureaux de deux quelconques des Etats contractants sera uniforme. Un même Etat pourra, toutefois, en Europe, être subdivisé, pour l'application de la taxe uniforme, en deux grandes divisions territoriales au plus.\n\nLe taux de la taxe est établi d'Etat à Etat, de concert entre les Gouvernements extrêmes et les Gouvernements intermédiaires.",

Les villes entre lesquelles l'échange des correspondances est continu ou très-actif sont, autant que possible, reliées par des fils directs, d'un diamètre d'au moins cinq millimètres et dont le service, dégagé du travail des bureaux intermédiaires, n'est affecté, dans la règle, qu'aux relations entre les deux villes désignées comme leurs points extrêmes.\n\n2. Ces fils peuvent être détournés de cette affectation spéciale en cas de dérangement des lignes; mais ils doivent y être ramenés dès que le dérangement a cessé.\n\n3.

Les chefs de service des circonscriptions voisines des frontières s'entendent directement pour assurer, en ce qui les concerne, l'exécution de ces mesures.\n\nIII.\n\nLes appareils Morse et Hughes restent concurremment adoptés pour le service des fils internationaux, jusqu'à une nouvelle entente sur l'introduction d'autres appareils.\n\nIV.\n\n1.

Les heures d'ouverture des bureaux à service limité sont fixées par les Administrations respectives des Etats contractants. Chaque Etat peut appliquer, le dimanche, aux bureaux à service complet les heures du service limité; cette mesure est notifiée au Bureau international, qui en avertit les autres Administrations.\n\n4. Les bureaux dont le service n'est point permanent ne peuvent prendre clôture avant d'avoir transmis tous leurs télégrammes internationaux à un bureau permanent.\n\n5. Entre deux bureaux d'Etats différents communiquant par un fil direct, la clôture est donnée par celui qui appartient à l'Etat dont la capitale a la position la plus occidentale.\n\n6. Cette règle s'applique à la clôture des procès-verbaux et à la division des séances dans les bureaux à service permanent.\n\n7. Le même temps est adopté par tous les bureaux d'un même Etat. C'est généralement le temps moyen de la capitale de cet Etat.\n\nLes notations suivantes sont adoptées dans les tarifs internationaux pour désigner les bureaux télégraphiques:\n\nN bureau à service permanent (de jour et de nuit);\n\nbureau à service de jour prolongé jusqu'à minuit;\n\nN\n\nC bureau à service de jour complet;\n\nL bureau à service limité (c'est-à-dire ouvert pendant un nombre d'heures moindre que les bureaux à service de jour complet);\n\nB bureau ouvert seulement pendant la saison des bains;\n\nI bureau ouvert seulement pendant la saison d'hiver;\n\nE bureau ouvert seulement pendant le séjour de la Cour;\n\nCes notations peuvent se combiner avec les précédentes.\n\nL bureau ouvert avec service complet dans la saison BC des bains et limité pendant le reste de l'année;\n\nL bureau ouvert avec service complet pendant l'hiver HC et limité pendant le reste de l'année;\n\nF station de chemin de fer ouverte à la correspondance des particuliers;\n\nP bureau appartenant à une Compagnie privée;\n\nS bureau sémaphorique;\n\n* bureau à ouvrir prochainement.\n\n2.

Toutefois, elles déclarent n'accepter, à raison du service de la télégraphie internationale, aucune responsabilité.\n\nArticle 5 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes sont classés en trois catégories:\n\n1o Télégrammes d'Etat: ceux qui émanent du Chef de l'Etat, des Ministres, des Commandants en chef des forces de terre ou de mer et des Agents diplomatiques ou consulaires des Gouvernements contractants, ainsi que les réponses à ces mêmes télégrammes.\n\n2o Télégrammes de service: ceux qui émanent des Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants et qui sont relatifs, soit au service de la télégraphie internationale, soit à des objets d'intérêt public déterminés de concert par les dites Administrations.\n\n3o Télégrammes privés.\n\nDans la transmission, les télégrammes d'Etat jouissent de la priorité sur les autres télégrammes.\n\nArticle 7 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes se réservent la faculté d'arrêter la transmission de tout télégramme privé qui paraîtrait dangereux pour la sécurité de l'Etat ou qui serait contraire aux lois du pays, à l'ordre public ou aux bonnes mœurs.\n\nArticle 8 de la Convention. Chaque Gouvernement se réserve aussi la faculté de suspendre le service de la télégraphie internationale pour un temps indéterminé, s'il le juge nécessaire, soit d'une manière générale, soit seulement sur certaines lignes et pour certaines natures de correspondances, à charge par lui d'en aviser immédiatement chacun des autres Gouvernements contractants.\n\n3. Rédaction et dépôt des télégrammes.\n\nArticle 6 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes d'Etat et de service peuvent être émis en langage secret, dans toutes les relations.\n\nLes télégrammes privés peuvent être échangés en langage secret entre deux Etats qui admettent ce mode de correspondance.\n\nLes Etats qui n'admettent pas les télégrammes privés en langage secret, au départ et à l'arrivée, doivent les laisser circuler en transit, sauf le cas de suspension défini à l'article 8.\n\nVI.\n\nLes télégrammes peuvent être rédigés en langage clair, en langage convenu ou en langage chiffré.\n\nVII.\n\n1. Les télégrammes en langage clair doivent offrir un sens compréhensible en l'une quelconque des langues usitées sur les territoires des Etats contractants ou en langue latine.\n\n2. Chaque Administration désigne, parmi les langues usitées sur les territoires de l'Etat auquel elle appartient, celles qu'elle considère comme propres à la correspondance télégraphique internationale en langage clair.\n\n3. Les télégrammes de service sont rédigés en français, lorsque les Administrations en cause ne se sont pas entendues pour l'usage d'une autre langue.\n\n4. Cette disposition est applicable aux indications du préambule et aux avis de service ou d'office qui accompagnent la transmission des correspondances.\n\nVIII.\n\n1. On entend par langage convenu l'emploi de mots qui, tout en présentant chacun un sens intrinsèque, ne forment point des phrases compréhensibles pour les offices en correspondance.\n\n2. Ces mots sont extraits de vocabulaires admis pour la correspondance internationale en langage convenu, mais dont la composition varie selon qu'il s'agit du régime européen ou du régime extra-européen.\n\n3. Dans le régime européen, les télégrammes en langage convenu ne doivent contenir que des mots appartenant à l'une des langues mentionnées au paragraphe 2 de l'article VII. Tout télégramme ne doit contenir que des mots puisés dans une même langue.\n\n4. Dans le régime extra-européen, les télégrammes en langage convenu ne peuvent contenir que des mots appartenant aux langues allemande, anglaise, espagnole, française, italienne, néerlandaise, portugaise et latine. Tout télégramme peut contenir des mots puisés dans toutes les langues susmentionnées.\n\n5. Les noms propres ne peuvent pas entrer dans la composition des vocabulaires. Ils ne sont admis dans la rédaction des télégrammes en langage convenu, qu'avec leur signification en langage clair.\n\n6. Le bureau d'origine peut demander la production du vocabulaire, afin de contrôler l'exécution des dispositions qui précèdent.\n\nIX.\n\n7\n\n1. Sont considérés comme télégrammes en langage chiffré:\n\na. Ceux qui contiennent un texte chiffré ou en lettres secrètes;\n\nb. Ceux qui renferment, soit des séries ou des groupes de chiffres ou de lettres dont la signification ne serait pas connue du bureau d'origine, soit des mots, des noms ou des assemblages de lettres, ne remplissant pas les conditions exigées pour le langage clair (Art. VII) ou convenu (Art. VIII).\n\n2. Le texte des télégrammes chiffrés peut être soit entièrement secret, soit en partie secret et en partie clair. Dans ce dernier cas, les passages secrets doivent être placés entre deux parenthèses, les séparant du texte ordinaire qui précède ou qui suit. Le texte chiffré doit être composé exclusivement de lettres de l'alphabet ou exclusivement de chiffres arabes.\n\n3. Les Offices extra-européens sont autorisés à ne pas admettre sur leurs lignes les télégrammes privés contenant des lettres secrètes.\n\nX.\n\n1. La minute du télégramme doit être écrite lisiblement, en caractères qui aient leur équivalent dans le tableau réglementaire des signaux télégraphiques (Art. XI) et qui soient en usage dans le pays où le télégramme est présenté.\n\n2. Le texte doit être précédé de l'adresse, qui peut être écrite sous une forme convenue ou abrégée. Toutefois, la faculté pour un destinataire de se faire remettre à domicile un télégramme dont l'adresse est ainsi composée, est subordonnée à un arrangement entre ce destinataire et le bureau télégraphique. Toute adresse doit contenir, au moins, deux mots, le premier représentant l'adresse du destinataire, le second indiquant le nom du bureau télégraphique de destination.\n\n3. La signature peut également revêtir la forme abrégée ou être omise. Quand elle figure dans les mots à transmettre, elle doit être placée après le texte. Si elle est omise, le dernier mot du texte la remplace pour signaler les télégrammes dans les communications de service qui s'y rapportent.\n\n4. L'expéditeur doit écrire sur la minute, entre parenthèses et immédiatement avant l'adresse, les indications éventuelles relatives à la remise à domicile, à la réponse payée, à l'accusé de réception, aux télégrammes urgents, collationnés ou à faire suivre, etc.\n\n5. Ces indications peuvent être écrites sous la forme abrégée adoptée pour les indications de service entre les bureaux. Dans ce cas, elles ne sont comptées chacune que pour un mot. Lorsqu'elles sont exprimées en langage clair, elles sont comptées selon les règles ordinaires.\n\n78",

L'adresse doit porter toutes les indications nécessaires pour assurer la remise du télégramme à destination. Ces indications, à l'exclusion des noms de personnes, doivent être écrites en français ou dans la langue du pays de destination.\n\n2. L'adresse des télégrammes privés doit toujours être telle que la remise au destinataire puisse avoir lieu sans recherches, ni demandes de renseignements.\n\n3. Elle doit comprendre, pour les grandes villes, la mention de la rue et du numéro, ou, à défaut de ces indications, celle de la profession du destinataire ou autres analogues.\n\n4. Pour les petites villes même, le nom du destinataire doit être, autant que possible, accompagné d'une indication complémentaire capable de guider le bureau d'arrivée en cas d'altération du nom propre.\n\n5. La mention du pays de destination est essentielle dans toutes les circonstances où il peut y avoir doute sur la direction à donner au télégramme.\n\n6. Les télégrammes dont l'adresse ne satisfait pas aux conditions prévues par les paragraphes précédents, doivent néanmoins être transmis.\n\n7. Dans tous les cas, l'expéditeur supporte les conséquences de l'insuffisance de l'adresse.\n\nXIII\n\n1. Les télégrammes d'Etat doivent être revêtus du sceau ou du cachet de l'autorité qui les expédie. Cette formalité n'est pas exigible, lorsque l'authenticité du télégramme ne peut soulever aucun doute.\n\n2. Le droit d'émettre une réponse comme télégramme d'Etat est établi par la production du télégramme d'Etat primitif.\n\n3. Les télégrammes des Agents consulaires qui exercent le commerce ne sont considérés comme télégrammes d'Etat que lorsqu'ils sont adressés à un personnage officiel et qu'ils traitent d'affaires de service. Toutefois, les télégrammes qui ne remplissent pas ces dernières conditions ne sont pas refusés par le bureau de départ, mais celui-ci les signale immédiatement à l'Administration centrale.\n\nXIV.\n\n1. La signature n'est pas transmise dans les télégrammes de service; l'adresse de ces télégrammes affecte la forme suivante:\n\nParis de St-Pétersbourg, Directeur général à Directeur général.\n\n2. Quand il s'agit d'avis de service échangés entre bureaux au sujet des incidents de la transmission, on transmet simplement le numéro et le texte du télégramme, sans adresse ni signature.\n\nXV.\n\n1. L'expéditeur d'un télégramme privé est tenu d'établir son identité, lorsqu'il y est invité par le bureau d'origine.\n\n2. Il a, de son côté, la faculté de comprendre dans son télégramme la légalisation de sa signature. Il peut faire transmettre cette légalisation, soit textuellement, soit par la formule:\n\n„Signature légalisée par...\n\n3. Le bureau vérifie la sincérité de la légalisation. Hormis le cas où la signature lui est connue, il ne peut la considérer comme authentique que si elle est pourvue du sceau ou cachet de l'autorité signataire.\n\nDans le cas contraire, il doit refuser l'acceptation et la transmission de la légalisation.\n\n4. La légalisation, telle qu'elle est transmise, entre dans le compte des mots taxés; elle prend place après la signature du télégramme.\n\n4. Taxation.\n\nArticle 10 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes déclarent adopter, pour la formation des tarifs internationaux, les bases ci-après.\n\nLa taxe applicable à toutes les correspondances échangées, par la même voie, entre les bureaux de deux quelconques des Etats contractants, sera uniforme. Un même Etat pourra toutefois, en Europe, être subdivisé, pour l'application de la taxe uniforme, en deux grandes divisions territoriales au plus.\n\nLe taux de la taxe est établi d'Etat à Etat, de concert entre les Gouvernements extrêmes et les Gouvernements intermédiaires.\n\nLes taxes des tarifs applicables aux correspondances échangées entre les Etats contractants pourront, à toute époque, être modifiées d'un commun accord.\n\nLe franc est l'unité monétaire qui sert à la composition des tarifs internationaux.\n\nArticle 11 de la Convention,\n\nLes télégrammes relatifs au service des télégraphes internationaux des Etats contractants sont transmis en franchise sur tout le réseau des dits Etats.\n\nXVI.\n\n1. Le tarif applicable aux correspondances internationales est fixé conformément aux tableaux qui font suite au présent Règlement, sauf les modifications du taux ou des bases d'application des tarifs qui pourront être arrêtées entre Etats intéressés, en vertu du paragraphe 4 de l'article 10 et de l'article 17 de la Convention.\n\n2. Ces modifications devront avoir pour but et pour effet, non point de créer une concurrence de taxes entre les voies existantes, mais bien d'ouvrir au public, à taxes égales, autant de voies que possible, et les combinaisons nécessaires seront réglées de telle manière que les taxes terminales des Offices d'origine et de destination restent égales, quelle que soit la voie suivie.\n\n3. Toute taxe ou disposition nouvelle, toute modification d'ensemble ou de détail ne seront exécutoires que deux mois, au moins, après leur notification par le Bureau international.\n\nXVII.\n\n9\n\n1. La taxe est établie par mot sur tout le parcours.\n\n2. Dans la correspondance européenne, à défaut d'arrangements particuliers entre Etats intéressés, la taxe s'établit sans condition de minimum pour le nombre de mots; il est ajouté à la taxe résultant du nombre effectif des mots, une taxe égale à celle de 5 mots, par télégramme.\n\nXVIII.\n\n1. Les Administrations et les bureaux télégraphiques prennent les mesures nécessaires pour diminuer, autant que possible, le nombre et l'étendue des télégrammes de service jouissant du privilège de la gratuité qui leur est attribué par l'article 11 de la Convention.\n\n2. Les renseignements qui ne présentent point un caractère d'urgence sont demandés ou donnés par la poste, au moyen de lettres affranchies.\n\nXIX.\n\n1. Tout télégramme rectificatif, complétif et, généralement, toute communication échangée, soit entre l'expéditeur et le destinataire, soit par l'un d'eux avec un bureau télégraphique, à l'occasion d'un télégramme transmis ou en cours de transmission, est un télégramme privé, traité et taxé conformément aux dispositions du présent Règlement.\n\n2. La taxe est restituée, si la communication a été motivée par l'une des circonstances qui donnent lieu au remboursement de la taxe, aux termes de l'article LXV. En cas de rectification d'erreurs de service dans des télégrammes non-collationnés, les taxes des télégrammes rectificatifs sont seules remboursées.\n\n3.

Les dispositions qui font l'objet du paragraphe 1 de l'article LXIV sont applicables aux communications dont il s'agit dans le présent article.\n\nXX.\n\n1. La taxe est calculée d'après la voie la moins coûteuse entre le point de départ du télégramme et son point de destination, à moins que l'expéditeur n'ait indiqué une autre voie conformément à l'article XXXVIII.\n\n2. L'indication de la voie écrite par l'expéditeur est transmise dans le préambule comme indication de service et n'est point taxée.\n\n3.

Les taxes à percevoir en vertu des articles XVI et XVII peuvent être arrondies, en plus ou en moins, soit après application des taxes normales par mot fixées d'après les tableaux annexés au présent Règlement, soit en augmentant ou en diminuant ces taxes normales, d'après les convenances monétaires ou autres du pays d'origine. Dans ce dernier cas, l'Administration expéditrice a, en outre, la faculté de modifier, pour la perception, le nombre de mots qui constitue la taxe additionnelle.\n\n2. Les modifications opérées en exécution du paragraphe précédent ne s'appliquent qu'à la taxe perçue par le bureau d'origine et ne portent point altération à la répartition fixée par les dits tableaux, au profit des autres Offices intéressés. Elles doivent être réglées de telle manière que l'écart entre la taxe à percevoir pour un télégramme de quinze mots et la taxe exactement calculée d'après les tableaux, au moyen des équivalents du paragraphe suivant, ne dépasse pas le quinzième de cette dernière taxe.\n\n3.

Tout ce que l'expéditeur écrit sur la minute de son télégramme, pour être transmis, entre dans le calcul de la taxe, sauf ce qui est dit au paragraphe 8 de l'article suivant et au paragraphe 2 de l'article XX.\n\n2. Les mots, nombres ou signes ajoutés par le bureau, dans l'intérêt du service, ne sont pas taxés.\n\n3. Le nom du bureau de départ, la date, l'heure et la minute du dépôt sont inscrits d'office sur la copie remise au destinataire.\n\n4. L'expéditeur peut insérer ces indications, en tout ou en partie, dans le texte de son télégramme. Elles entrent alors dans le compte des mots.\n\nXXIII.\n\n1. Le maximum de longueur d'un mot est fixé à quinze caractères selon l'alphabet Morse ; l'excédant, toujours jusqu'à concurrence de quinze caractères, est compté pour un mot.\n\n2. Pour la correspondance extra-européenne, ce maximum est fixé à dix caractères.\n\n3. Les expressions réunies par un trait d'union sont comptées pour le nombre de mots qui servent à les former.\n\n4. Les mots séparés par une apostrophe sont comptés comme autant de mots isolés.\n\n5. Les réunions ou altérations de mots contraires à l'usage de la langue ne sont point admises. Toutefois, les noms propres de villes et de personnes, les noms de lieux, places, boulevards, etc., les titres, prénoms, particules ou qualifications, ainsi que les nombres écrits en toutes lettres, sont comptés pour le nombre de mots employés par l'expéditeur à les exprimer.\n\n6. Les nombres écrits en chiffres sont comptés pour autant de mots qu'ils contiennent de fois cinq chiffres, plus un mot pour l'excédant. La même règle est applicable au calcul des groupes de lettres. Pour la correspondance extra-européenne, le nombre de mots auquel correspond un groupe de chiffres ou de lettres, s'obtient en divisant les chiffres par trois et ajoutant, s'il y a lieu, un mot pour le reste.\n\n7. Tout caractère isolé, lettre ou chiffre, est compté pour un mot ; il en est de même du souligné.\n\n8. Les signes de ponctuation, traits d'union, apostrophes, guillemets, parenthèses, alinéas, ne sont pas comptés. Sur les lignes extra-européennes, la transmission de ces signes n'est pas obligatoire.\n\n9. Sont toutefois comptés pour un chiffre : les points et les virgules qui entrent dans la formation des nombres ainsi que les barres de division.\n\n10. Les lettres ajoutées aux chiffres pour désigner les nombres ordinaux sont comptées chacune pour un chiffre.\n\nXXIV.\n\nLes exemples suivants déterminent l'interprétation des règles à suivre pour compter les mots.\n\nA-t-ilCorrespondance européenne, extra-européenne.2 mots2 mots\nAachen.1 mot1 mot\nNewyork1 mot2 mots\nNew-York.2 mots2 mots\nE.1 mot1 mot\nE.

LVIII, § 6) qui donnent lieu à une perception par le bureau d'arrivée.\n\n2. L'expéditeur d'un télégramme international a le droit d'en demander reçu avec mention de la taxe perçue.\n\n3. L'Office d'origine a la faculté de percevoir, de ce chef, une rétribution à son profit, dans les limites d'un quart de franc.\n\n4. Dans tous les cas où il doit y avoir perception à l'arrivée, le télégramme n'est délivré au destinataire que contre paiement de la taxe due.\n\n5.

Tout bureau qui reçoit par un fil international un télégramme présenté comme télégramme d'Etat ou de service, le réexpédie comme tel.\n\n3. Les avis de service émanant des divers bureaux et relatifs aux incidents de transmission, circulent sur le réseau international comme télégrammes de service.\n\nXXX.\n\n1. Un télégramme commencé ne peut être interrompu pour faire place à une communication d'un rang supérieur, qu'en cas d'urgence absolue.\n\n2. Les télégrammes de même rang sont transmis par les bureaux de départ dans l'ordre de leur dépôt, et par les bureaux intermédiaires dans l'ordre de leur réception.\n\n3. Dans les bureaux intermédiaires, les télégrammes de départ et les télégrammes de passage qui doivent emprunter les mêmes fils, sont confondus et transmis indistinctement, en suivant l'heure du dépôt ou de la réception.\n\n4. Entre deux bureaux en relation directe, les télégrammes de même rang sont transmis dans l'ordre alternatif.\n\n5. Il peut être toutefois dérogé à cette règle et à celle du paragraphe 1er de l'article XXIX, dans l'intérêt de la célérité des transmissions, sur les lignes dont le travail est continu ou qui sont desservies par des appareils spéciaux.\n\nXXXI.\n\n1. A l'appareil Morse, les télégrammes d'Etat ou de service et les télégrammes privés urgents ne sont pas comptés dans l'ordre alternatif des transmissions.\n\n2. La transmission des télégrammes échangés par l'appareil Hughes s'effectue par séries alternatives. Les chefs des deux bureaux en correspondance fixent, en tenant compte de la longueur des télégrammes et des exigences du service, le nombre des télégrammes, de quelque nature qu'ils soient, constituant chaque série. Cependant la série ne peut comprendre plus de dix télégrammes. Les télégrammes d'une même série sont considérés comme formant une seule transmission qui ne doit être interrompue que dans le cas d'urgence exceptionnelle. En général, tout télégramme de deux cents mots ou au-dessus est considéré comme formant une seule série. Ce mode de transmission peut être appliqué à l'appareil Morse sur les lignes importantes dont le travail est continu, mais dans ce cas chaque série ne peut être composée de plus de cinq télégrammes.\n\n3. Le bureau qui a transmis une série est en droit de continuer, lorsqu'il survient un télégramme d'Etat, de service ou privé urgent auquel la priorité de transmission est accordée, à moins que le bureau qui vient de recevoir n'ait déjà commencé de transmettre à son tour.\n\n4. Dans les deux systèmes d'appareil, la transmission du télégramme ou de la série terminée, le bureau qui vient de recevoir transmet à son tour, s'il a un télégramme; sinon, l'autre continue. Si de part ou d'autre il n'y a rien à transmettre, les deux bureaux se donnent réciproquement le signal zéro.\n\nc. Mode de procéder.\n\nXXXII.\n\n1. Toute correspondance entre deux bureaux commence par le signal d'appel ou par l'indicatif du bureau appelé.\n\n2. Le bureau appelé doit répondre immédiatement, en donnant son indicatif, et, s'il est empêché de recevoir, le signal d'attente, suivi d'un chiffre indiquant en minutes la durée probable de l'attente. Si la durée probable excède dix minutes, l'attente doit être motivée.\n\n3. Aucun bureau appelé ne peut refuser de recevoir les télégrammes qu'on lui présente, quelle qu'en soit la destination. Toutefois, en cas d'erreur évidente, le bureau qui transmet est tenu de la redresser, aussitôt que le bureau correspondant la lui a signalée par avis de service.\n\n4. On ne doit, ni refuser, ni retarder un télégramme, si les indications de service ne sont pas régulières. Il faut le recevoir et puis en demander, au besoin, la régularisation au bureau d'origine par un avis de service, conformément à l'article LXII ci-après.\n\nXXXIII.\n\n1. Lorsque le bureau qui vient d'appeler a reçu, sans autre signal, l'indicatif du bureau qui répond, il transmet dans l'ordre suivant les indications de service, constituant le préambule du télégramme:\n\na. Nature du télégramme, au moyen d'une des lettres S, A, D, quand c'est un télégramme d'Etat, de service ou privé urgent;\n\nb. Bureau de destination*);\n\n*) Lorsque le télégramme est à destination d'une localité non pourvue d'un bureau télégraphique, le préambule indique, non la résidence du destinataire, mais le bureau télégraphique par les soins duquel le télégramme doit être remis à destination ou envoyé à la poste.\n\nc. Bureau d'origine précédé de la particule \"de\"\n(Exemple: Paris de Bruxelles)1);\n\n1) Indiquer le pays ou la situation géographique du bureau d'origine, quand il y a un autre bureau du même nom.\n\nd. Numéro du télégramme;\n\ne. Nombre de mots (dans les télégrammes chiffrés on indique: 1° le nombre total des mots qui sert de base à la taxe; 2° le nombre des mots écrits en langage ordinaire; 3° s'il y a lieu, le nombre des groupes de chiffres ou de lettres);\n\nf. Dépôt du télégramme (par trois nombres, date, heure et minute, avec l'indication m ou s [matin ou soir]);\n\nDans la transmission par l'appareil Morse, les indications m ou s, ainsi que la date, peuvent être omises, quand il n'y a aucun doute;\n\nDans la transmission par l'appareil Hughes, la date est donnée sous la forme d'une fraction, dont le numérateur indique le jour et le dénominateur le mois;\n\ng. Voie à suivre (quand l'expéditeur l'a indiquée par écrit dans son télégramme) (Art. XX, § 2 et XXXVIII, § 4);\n\nh. Indications éventuelles que l'expéditeur n'est pas tenu de comprendre dans le texte taxé. Les indications contenues sous les lettres b, d et e ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Offices extra-européens.\n\n2. A la suite du préambule spécifié ci-dessus, on télégraphie successivement les indications éventuelles de l'expéditeur entre parenthèses (Art. X, § 4), l'adresse, le texte et la signature du télégramme.\n\n3. Dans les télégrammes transmis par l'appareil Morse, le signe de séparation entre le préambule et l'adresse, entre l'adresse et le texte, entre le texte et la signature. On termine par le signal de fin de la transmission.\n\n4. Dans les télégrammes transmis par l'appareil Hughes, on emploie un double trait pour séparer le préambule de l'adresse, l'adresse du texte, le texte de la signature, et on termine chaque télégramme par la croix (+).\n\n5. Si l'employé qui transmet s'aperçoit qu'il s'est trompé, il doit s'interrompre par le signal d'erreur, répéter le dernier mot bien transmis et continuer, à partir de là, la transmission rectifiée.\n\n6. De même, l'employé qui reçoit, s'il rencontre un mot qu'il ne parvient pas à saisir, doit interrompre son correspondant par le même signal et répéter le dernier mot compris, en le faisant suivre d'un point d'interrogation. Le correspondant reprend alors la transmission à partir de ce mot, en s'efforçant de rendre ses signaux aussi clairs que possible.\n\n7. Hormis les cas déterminés de concert par les diverses Administrations, il est interdit d'employer une abréviation quelconque, en transmettant le texte d'un télégramme, ou de modifier ce texte de quelque manière que ce soit. Tout télégramme doit être transmis tel que l'expéditeur l'a écrit et d'après sa minute.\n\nd. Réception et répétition d'office.\n\nXXXIV.\n\nAussitôt après la transmission, l'employé qui a reçu compare, pour chaque télégramme, le nombre des mots transmis, au nombre annoncé et il accuse réception du télégramme ou des télégrammes constituant la série. Cet accusé de réception prend la forme suivante: R.... (nombre des télégrammes reçus).\n\nXXXV.\n\n1. En cas de différence dans le nombre des mots, il la signale à son correspondant. Si ce dernier s'est simplement trompé dans l'annonce du nombre des mots, il répond: admis; sinon, il répète la première lettre de chaque mot, jusqu'au passage erroné qu'il rétablit.\n\n2. Lorsque cette différence ne provient pas d'une erreur de transmission, la rectification du nombre de mots annoncé ne peut se faire que d'un commun accord entre le bureau d'origine et le bureau correspondant. Faute de cet accord, le nombre de mots annoncé par le bureau d'origine est admis.\n\nXXXVI.\n\n1. Les employés peuvent, pour mettre leur responsabilité à couvert, donner ou exiger la répétition partielle ou intégrale des télégrammes qu'ils ont transmis ou reçus. Cette répétition se fait, à l'appareil Morse, par l'employé qui a reçu et, à l'appareil Hughes, par l'employé qui a transmis, à la fin du télégramme ou de la série. L'employé qui donne cette répétition doit, à l'appareil Morse, s'il y a rectification, reproduire les mots ou nombres rectifiés. En cas d'omission, cette seconde répétition est exigée par l'employé qui a transmis. Les télégrammes d'Etat en langage secret (chiffres ou lettres) doivent être répétés intégralement et d'office.\n\n2. Quand on donne la répétition des nombres suivis de fractions ou des fractions dont le numérateur est formé de deux chiffres ou plus, on doit répéter, en toutes lettres, le numérateur de la fraction, afin d'éviter toute confusion. Ainsi pour 1/16 il faut répéter \"un 16\", afin qu'on ne lise pas 65; pour 13/4, il faut répéter \"treize 4\", afin qu'on ne lise pas 134.\n\n15\n\n...\n\n \n82",

L'expéditeur qui veut prescrire la voie à suivre doit écrire lui-même, en marge de sa minute, la formule correspondante. Cette indication est transmise dans le préambule (Art. XX, § 2 et XXXIII, § 1, g), mais seulement jusqu'au point où elle peut être utile.\n\nf. Interruption des communications télégraphiques, Transmissions par ampliation.\n\nXXXIX.\n\n1. Lorsqu'il se produit au cours de la transmission d'un télégramme une interruption dans les communications télégraphiques régulières, le bureau à partir duquel l'interruption s'est produite, expédie immédiatement le télégramme par la poste (lettre recommandée d'office ou portée par exprès) ou par un moyen de transport plus rapide, s'il en dispose, par exemple, par une voie télégraphique détournée (Art. LXX, § 4). Les frais de poste sont supportés par le bureau qui fait cette réexpédition. La lettre expédiée par la poste doit porter l'annotation \"télégramme\".\n\n2. Le bureau qui recourt à un mode de réexpédition autre que le télégraphe adresse le télégramme, suivant les circonstances, soit au premier bureau télégraphique en mesure de le réexpédier, soit au bureau de destination, soit au destinataire même, lorsque cette réexpédition se fait dans les limites de l'Etat de destination. Dès que la communication est rétablie, le télégramme est de nouveau transmis par la voie télégraphique, à moins qu'il n'en ait été précédemment accusé réception ou que, par suite d'encombrement exceptionnel, cette réexpédition ne doive être manifestement nuisible à l'ensemble du service.\n\n3. Les télégrammes à destination des pays extra-européens ne sont réexpédiés par une voie plus coûteuse que dans le cas où l'expéditeur a déposé la taxe de ce parcours.\n\nXL.\n\n1. Les télégrammes qui, par un motif quelconque, sont adressés par la poste à un bureau télégraphique, sont accompagnés d'un bordereau numéroté. En même temps, le bureau qui fait cette expédition en avertit le bureau auquel il l'adresse, pourvu que les communications télégraphiques le permettent, par un télégramme de service indiquant le nombre des télégrammes expédiés et l'heure du courrier.\n\n2. A l'arrivée du courrier, le bureau correspondant vérifie si le nombre des télégrammes annoncé est bien arrivé. En ce cas, il en accuse réception sur le bordereau et le renvoie immédiatement au bureau expéditeur. Il renouvelle cet avis après le rétablissement des communications télégraphiques par un télégramme de service dans la forme suivante: \"Reçu 63 télégrammes conformément au bordereau No... du 30 Mars.\"\n\n3. Les dispositions du paragraphe précédent s'appliquent également au cas où un bureau télégraphique reçoit par la poste un envoi de télégrammes sans en être averti.\n\n4. Lorsqu'un envoi de télégrammes annoncé n'arrive pas, le bureau expéditeur en doit être averti immédiatement. Celui-ci peut, selon les circonstances, répéter l'envoi par la poste ou transmettre les télégrammes par la voie télégraphique, si les correspondances ultérieures ne doivent pas en souffrir.\n\n5. Le bureau qui réexpédie par télégraphe des télégrammes déjà transmis par la poste, en informe le bureau sur lequel les télégrammes ont été dirigés, par un avis de service rédigé dans la forme suivante: \"Berlin de Görlitz. Télégrammes Nos.... du bordereau No. réexpédiés par ampliation.\"\n\n6. Quand un télégramme est envoyé directement au destinataire dans le cas prévu à l'article XXXIX, il est accompagné d'un avis indiquant l'interruption des lignes.\n\n7. Lorsque pour une cause quelconque un télégramme transmis déjà par une autre voie, soit par poste, soit par un autre fil, est réexpédié par télégraphe, cette réexpédition par ampliation doit être signalée par une indication de service dans le préambule, par exemple: \"Ampliation, déjà expédié à (nom du bureau) le... (date) par le fil No... (ou) par la voie de... (ou) par la poste.\"\n\ng. Arrêt de transmission. Contrôle.\n\nXLI.\n\n1. Tout expéditeur peut, en justifiant de sa qualité, arrêter, s'il en est encore temps, la transmission du télégramme qu'il a déposé.\n\n2. Lorsqu'un expéditeur retire ou arrête son télégramme avant que la transmission en ait été commencée, la taxe lui est remboursée, sous déduction d'un droit fixe d'un demi-franc au profit de l'Office d'origine.\n\n3. Si le télégramme a été transmis par le bureau d'origine, l'expéditeur ne peut en demander l'annulation que par un télégramme privé dont il acquitte la taxe. Autant que possible, ce télégramme est successivement transmis aux bureaux auxquels le télégramme primitif a été transmis, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait rejoint ce dernier. Si l'expéditeur a aussi payé le prix d'une réponse télégraphique, le bureau qui annule le télégramme en donne avis au bureau d'origine. Dans le cas contraire, il lui adresse ce renseignement par la poste. Le bureau d'origine rembourse à l'expéditeur les taxes du télégramme primitif et du télégramme d'annulation, en raison du parcours non effectué.\n\nXLII.\n\n1. Il ne doit être fait usage de la faculté réservée à l'article 7 de la Convention, d'arrêter la transmission de tout télégramme privé qui paraîtrait dangereux pour la sécurité de l'Etat ou qui serait contraire aux lois du pays, à l'ordre public ou aux bonnes mœurs, qu'à charge d'en avertir immédiatement l'Administration de laquelle dépend le bureau d'origine.\n\n2. Ce contrôle est exercé par les bureaux télégraphiques extrêmes ou intermédiaires, sauf recours à l'Administration centrale, qui prononce sans appel.\n\n3. La transmission des télégrammes d'Etat se fait de droit. Les bureaux télégraphiques n'ont aucun contrôle à exercer sur eux.\n\n8. Remise à destination.\n\nXLIII.\n\n1. Les télégrammes peuvent être adressés, soit à domicile, soit poste restante, soit bureau télégraphique restant.\n\n2. Ils sont remis ou expédiés à destination dans l'ordre de leur réception.\n\n3. Les télégrammes adressés à domicile, dans la localité que le bureau télégraphique dessert, sont immédiatement portés à leur adresse.\n\n4. Les télégrammes qui doivent être déposés poste restante, sont immédiatement remis à la poste par le bureau télégraphique d'arrivée, sans frais pour l'expéditeur ni pour le destinataire.\n\n5. Les télégrammes adressés aux passagers d'un navire qui fait escale dans un port, leur sont remis, autant que possible, avant le débarquement.\n\nXLIV.\n\n1. Un télégramme porté à domicile peut être remis, soit au destinataire, soit aux membres adultes de sa famille, à ses employés, locataires ou hôtes, soit au concierge de l'hôtel ou de la maison, à moins que le destinataire n'ait désigné par écrit un délégué spécial ou que l'expéditeur n'ait demandé que la remise n'eût lieu qu'entre les mains du destinataire seul. L'expéditeur peut demander aussi que le télégramme soit remis ouvert. Ce dernier mode de remise n'est pas obligatoire pour les Offices qui déclarent ne pas l'accepter.\n\n2. Ces deux dernières demandes sont mentionnées avant l'adresse du télégramme et reproduites, à la suscription, par le bureau d'arrivée qui donne au porteur les instructions nécessaires.\n\n3. Lorsqu'un télégramme ne peut pas être remis, le bureau d'arrivée envoie au bureau d'origine un avis de service dans la forme suivante: \"No.... du (date et adresse textuellement conformes à celles qui ont été reçues) inconnu.\"\n\n17\n\n...\n\n83",

Sinon, il communique autant que possible, l'avis à l'expéditeur, chaque Office ayant la faculté de frapper cette communication d'une taxe spéciale qui ne peut dépasser un demi-franc. L'expéditeur ne peut compléter, rectifier ou confirmer l'adresse, que par un télégramme payé.\n\n6. Si, par suite d'adresse inexacte ou insuffisante, d'absence ou de refus du destinataire, des frais d'exprès n'ont pas été acquittés à l'arrivée, le montant de ces frais est indiqué dans l'avis, afin que l'expéditeur puisse être requis de les rembourser.\n\n7. Si la porte n'est pas ouverte à l'adresse indiquée ou si le porteur ne trouve personne qui consente à recevoir le télégramme pour le destinataire, avis est laissé au domicile indiqué et le télégramme est rapporté au bureau, pour être délivré au destinataire sur sa réclamation.\n\n8. Lorsque le télégramme est adressé bureau restant, il n'est délivré qu'au destinataire ou à son délégué.\n\n9. Dans les cas prévus par les paragraphes 7 et 8 du présent article, tout télégramme qui n'a pas été réclamé au bout de six semaines, est anéanti.\n\n9. Télégrammes spéciaux.\n\nArticle 9 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes s'engagent à faire jouir tout expéditeur des différentes combinaisons arrêtées de concert par les Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants, en vue de donner plus de garanties et de facilités à la transmission et à la remise des correspondances.\n\nElles s'engagent également à le mettre à même de profiter des dispositions prises et notifiées par l'un quelconque des autres Etats, pour l'emploi de moyens spéciaux de transmission ou de remise.\n\na. Télégrammes privés urgents.\n\nXLV.\n\n1. L'expéditeur d'un télégramme privé peut obtenir la priorité de transmission en inscrivant le mot urgent avant l'adresse et en payant le triple de la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de même longueur pour le même parcours.\n\n2. Les télégrammes privés urgents ont la priorité sur les autres télégrammes privés et leur priorité entre eux est réglée dans les conditions prévues par le paragraphe 2 de l'article XXX.\n\n3. Les dispositions des paragraphes précédents ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Administrations qui déclarent ne pas pouvoir les appliquer, soit à une partie, soit à la totalité des télégrammes qui empruntent leurs lignes.\n\n4. Les Administrations qui n'acceptent les télégrammes urgents qu'en transit, doivent les admettre, soit sur les fils où la transmission est directe à travers leurs territoires, soit dans leurs bureaux de réexpédition, entre les télégrammes de même provenance et de même destination. La taxe de transit qui leur revient est triplée comme pour les autres parties du trajet.\n\nb. Réponses payées. XLVI.\n\n1. Tout expéditeur peut affranchir la réponse qu'il demande à son correspondant; toutefois l'affranchissement ne peut dépasser la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de 30 mots pour le même parcours.\n\n2. Si l'expéditeur n'a pas indiqué le nombre de mots payés pour la réponse, il est perçu la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de dix mots, transmis par la même voie.\n\n3. Dans le cas contraire, l'expéditeur doit compléter la mention Réponse payée ou RP par l'indication du nombre de mots payés pour la réponse et acquitter la somme correspondante, dans les limites autorisées par le paragraphe 1er du présent article.\n\nXLVII.\n\n1. Au lieu de destination, le bureau d'arrivée remet au destinataire un bon qui lui donne la faculté d'expédier gratuitement et dans les limites de la taxe payée d'avance, un télégramme à une destination quelconque. Ce bon n'est valable que pendant six semaines, à dater du jour où il a été établi. Passé ce délai il est considéré comme nul et non avenu et la taxe perçue acquise à l'Office qui l'a délivré.\n\n2. La somme versée pour la réponse peut être remboursée à l'expéditeur, lorsque le destinataire n'a pas fait usage du bon.\n\n3. A cet effet, le destinataire doit, avant l'expiration du délai de six semaines fixé par le paragraphe 1er du présent article, déposer le bon au bureau qui l'a délivré, en l'accompagnant d'une demande de remboursement au profit de l'expéditeur.\n\n4. Il est procédé alors comme en matière de remboursement de taxe.\n\n5. Si le destinataire refuse la formule affectée à la réponse, le bureau d'arrivée en informe immédiatement l'expéditeur par un avis de service, tenant lieu de réponse.\n\n6. Cet avis de service est émis, comme télégramme privé, dans la forme suivante: Réponse à No.... de.... Le destinataire a refusé.\n\n7. Lorsque le télégramme ne peut être remis dès l'arrivée, dans les circonstances prévues par le paragraphe 3 de l'article XLIV, un avis de service est transmis dans la forme prescrite par ce paragraphe.\n\n8. S'il n'y a pas de rectification, la réponse d'office est émise, dans la même forme que ci-dessus, au bout de huit jours ou même dans un délai plus rapproché, lorsque les recherches faites pour trouver le destinataire sont restées infructueuses.\n\nXLVIII.\n\n1. Les dispositions des deux articles précédents ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Offices extra-européens qui déclarent ne point pouvoir les appliquer.\n\n2. Dans les relations avec ces Offices, la taxe déposée pour la réponse est portée en compte à l'Office d'arrivée qui adopte tel moyen qu'il juge convenable pour mettre le destinataire en mesure d'en profiter.\n\nc. Télégrammes collationnés.\n\nXLIX.\n\n1. L'expéditeur de tout télégramme a la faculté d'en demander le collationnement. Dans ce cas, les divers bureaux qui concourent à la transmission, en donnent le collationnement intégral.\n\n2. Ce collationnement est donné, à tous les appareils, par le bureau qui a reçu et immédiatement après la transmission du télégramme à collationner.\n\n3. La taxe du collationnement est égale à la moitié de celle d'un télégramme ordinaire de même longueur pour le même parcours.\n\nd. Accusés de réception.\n\nL.\n\n1. L'expéditeur de tout télégramme peut demander que l'indication de l'heure à laquelle son télégramme sera remis à son correspondant, lui soit notifiée par télégraphe aussitôt après la remise.\n\n2. La taxe de l'accusé de réception est égale à celle d'un télégramme ordinaire de dix mots par la même voie.\n\nLI.\n\n1. L'accusé de réception est annoncé par l'abréviation CR et transmis dans la forme suivante: CR. Paris de Berne. Télégramme No... remis à... (adresse du destinataire) le... (date, heure et minute), (ou motif de non-remise).\n\n19\n\n2. Les accusés de réception reçoivent un numéro d'ordre au bureau qui les envoie. Ils jouissent de la priorité sur les télégrammes privés.\n\n3. Dans le cas prévu par le paragraphe 3 de l'article XLIV, l'accusé de réception est précédé de l'avis de service prescrit par ce paragraphe. L'accusé de réception est transmis ensuite, soit après la remise du télégramme, si elle est devenue possible, soit après vingt-quatre heures, si elle n'a pu avoir lieu.\n\ne. Télégrammes à faire suivre.\n\nLII.\n\n1. Tout expéditeur peut demander, en inscrivant avant l'adresse les indications nécessaires, que le bureau d'arrivée fasse suivre son télégramme dans les limites de l'Europe.\n\n2. Lorsqu'un télégramme porte la mention faire suivre, sans autre indication, le bureau de destination, après l'avoir présenté à l'adresse indiquée, le réexpédie immédiatement, s'il y a lieu, à la nouvelle adresse qui lui est désignée au domicile du destinataire.\n\n3. Si aucune indication ne lui est fournie, il garde le télégramme en dépôt, en observant les dispositions des paragraphes 3 et 7 de l'article XLIV. Si le télégramme est réexpédié et que le second bureau ne trouve pas le destinataire à l'adresse nouvelle, le télégramme est conservé par ce bureau.\n\n4. Si la mention faire suivre est accompagnée d'adresses successives, le télégramme est successivement transmis à chacune des destinations indiquées jusqu'à la dernière, s'il y a lieu, et le dernier bureau se conforme aux dispositions du paragraphe précédent.\n\n5. Le texte primitif du télégramme à faire suivre doit être intégralement transmis aux bureaux de destination successifs et reproduit sur la copie adressée au destinataire; mais, dans le préambule, chaque bureau ne reproduit, après les mots faire suivre, que les adresses auxquelles le télégramme peut encore être expédié.\n\n6. La taxe internationale à percevoir au départ pour les télégrammes à faire suivre est simplement la taxe afférente au premier parcours, l'adresse complète entrant dans le nombre des mots. La taxe complémentaire est perçue sur le destinataire.\n\n7. A partir du premier bureau indiqué dans l'adresse, les taxes à percevoir sur le destinataire, pour les parcours ultérieurs, doivent, à chaque réexpédition, être indiquées d'office dans le préambule.\n\n8. Cette indication est formulée comme il suit: Taxes à percevoir ... francs... centimes. Si les réexpéditions ont lieu dans les limites de l'Etat auquel ...\n\n84",

Si les réexpéditions ont lieu hors de ces limites, la taxe complémentaire est calculée en considérant comme autant de télégrammes séparés chaque réexpédition internationale. Le tarif pour chaque réexpédition est le tarif applicable aux correspondances échangées entre l'Etat qui réexpédie et celui auquel le télégramme est réexpédié.\n\n9. Si la taxe de réexpédition n'est pas recouvrée par l'Office d'arrivée, l'Administration dont ce bureau relève est remboursée du montant des taxes dues aux Administrations, moyennant bulletin de remboursement.\n\nLIII.\n\n1. Toute personne peut demander, en fournissant les justifications nécessaires, que les télégrammes qui arriveraient à un bureau télégraphique, pour lui être remis dans le rayon de distribution de ce bureau, lui soient réexpédiés, dans les conditions de l'article précédent, à l'adresse qu'elle aura indiquée.\n\n2. Les demandes de réexpédition doivent être faites par écrit.\n\n3. Chaque Administration se réserve la faculté de faire suivre, quand il y aura lieu, d'après les indications données au domicile du destinataire, les télégrammes pour lesquels aucune indication spéciale n'aurait été fournie.\n\nf. Télégrammes multiples.\n\nLIV.\n\n1. Un télégramme multiple peut être adressé, soit à plusieurs destinataires dans une même localité, soit à un même destinataire à plusieurs domiciles dans la même localité.\n\n2. Les télégrammes adressés dans une même localité à plusieurs destinataires ou à un même destinataire à plusieurs domiciles, avec ou sans réexpédition par la poste, sont taxés comme un seul télégramme; mais il est perçu, à titre de droit de copie, autant de fois un demi-franc, par télégramme ne dépassant pas cent mots, qu'il y a de destinations, moins une. Au-delà de cent mots, ce droit est augmenté d'un demi-franc par série ou fraction de série de cent mots. Dans ce compte, figure la totalité des mots à taxer, y compris les adresses.\n\n3. En transmettant un télégramme adressé dans une même localité ou dans des localités différentes mais desservies par un même bureau télégraphique, à plusieurs destinataires ou à un même destinataire à plusieurs domiciles, avec ou sans réexpédition par la poste ou par exprès, il faut indiquer dans le préambule le nombre des adresses.\n\n4. Dans le premier cas prévu par le paragraphe 1 du présent article, chaque exemplaire du télégramme ne doit porter que l'adresse qui lui est propre, à moins que l'expéditeur n'ait demandé le contraire.\n\n5. Cette indication doit entrer dans le corps de l'adresse et, par conséquent, dans le nombre des mots taxés.\n\ng. Télégrammes à destination de localités non desservies par le réseau international.\n\nLV.\n\n1. Les télégrammes adressés à des localités non desservies par les télégraphes internationaux peuvent être remis à destination, suivant la demande de l'expéditeur, soit par exprès, soit par la poste; toutefois, l'envoi par exprès ne peut être demandé que pour les Etats qui, conformément à l'article 9 de la Convention, ont organisé, pour la remise des télégrammes, un mode de transport plus rapide que la poste et ont notifié aux autres Etats les dispositions prises à cet égard.\n\n2. L'adresse des télégrammes à transporter au-delà des lignes télégraphiques, est formulée ainsi qu'il suit: Exprès (ou poste) M. Müller, Johannisthal, Berlin, le nom du bureau télégraphique d'arrivée étant exprimé le dernier.\n\nLVI.\n\n1. Les frais de transport au-delà des bureaux télégraphiques, par un moyen plus rapide que la poste, dans les Etats où un service de cette nature est organisé, sont perçus sur le destinataire.\n\n2. Toutefois, l'expéditeur d'un télégramme avec accusé de réception peut affranchir ce transport, moyennant le dépôt d'une somme qui est déterminée par le bureau d'origine, sauf liquidation ultérieure. L'accusé de réception fait connaître le montant des frais déboursés.\n\n3. Il n'est fait exception à cette règle que dans les relations extra-européennes pour des transports dont l'Office d'arrivée a prévu et notifié les frais, qui sont alors perçus par le bureau d'origine, sans exiger ni accusé de réception ni règlement ultérieur.\n\n4. Dans tous les cas prévus par les paragraphes 2 et 3 qui précèdent, les mots \"exprès payé\" (ou XP) sont inscrits avant l'adresse et sont taxés.\n\nLVII.\n\n1. Le bureau télégraphique d'arrivée est en droit d'employer la poste:\n\n21\n\na. à défaut d'indication, dans le télégramme, du moyen de transport à employer;\n\nb. lorsque le moyen indiqué diffère du mode adopté et notifié par l'Etat d'arrivée, conformément à l'article 9 de la Convention;\n\nc. lorsqu'il s'agit d'un transport à payer par un destinataire qui aurait refusé antérieurement d'acquitter des frais de même nature. Dans ce dernier cas, le télégramme peut être déposé à la boîte, comme lettre non affranchie.\n\n2. Dans tous les cas, l'emploi de la poste est obligatoire pour le bureau d'arrivée, lorsqu'il ne dispose pas d'un moyen plus rapide.\n\n3. Les télégrammes de toute nature qui doivent être transmis à destination par voie postale, sont remis à la poste, par le bureau télégraphique d'arrivée, sans frais pour l'expéditeur, ni pour le destinataire, sauf dans les deux cas suivants.\n\n4. Les correspondances qui doivent traverser la mer, sont soumises à une taxe variable, à percevoir par le bureau d'origine. Le montant de cette taxe est fixé par l'Administration qui se charge de l'expédition et notifié à toutes les autres Administrations.\n\n5. Les télégrammes transmis à un bureau télégraphique situé près d'une frontière, pour être expédiés par poste sur le territoire voisin, sont déposés à la boîte, comme lettres non affranchies, et le port est à la charge du destinataire.\n\n6. Toutefois, si la communication télégraphique franchissant la frontière est matériellement interrompue, il est procédé conformément à l'article XXXIX.\n\n7. Lorsqu'un télégramme à expédier par lettre recommandée ne peut être soumis immédiatement à la formalité de la recommandation, tout en pouvant profiter d'un départ postal, il est mis d'abord à la poste par lettre ordinaire; une ampliation est adressée par lettre recommandée aussitôt qu'il est possible.\n\nh. Télégrammes sémaphoriques.\n\nLVIII.\n\n1. Les télégrammes sémaphoriques sont les télégrammes échangés avec les navires en mer par l'intermédiaire des sémaphores établis ou à établir sur le littoral de l'un quelconque des Etats contractants.\n\n2. Ils doivent être rédigés, soit dans la langue du pays où est situé le sémaphore chargé de les signaler, soit en signaux du code commercial universel. Dans ce dernier cas, ils sont considérés comme des télégrammes chiffrés.\n\n3. Quand ils sont à destination des navires en mer, l'adresse doit comprendre, outre les indications ordinaires, le nom ou le numéro officiel du bâtiment destinataire et sa nationalité.\n\n4. Pour les télégrammes d'Etat sémaphoriques expédiés d'un navire en mer, le sceau est remplacé par le signe distinctif du commandement. Le nom du bâtiment doit être désigné.\n\n5. Tout télégramme sémaphorique doit porter dans le préambule l'indication \"sémaphorique\".\n\n6. La taxe des télégrammes à échanger avec les navires en mer, par l'intermédiaire des sémaphores, est fixée à 2 francs par télégramme. Cette taxe s'ajoute au prix du parcours électrique calculé d'après les règles générales. La totalité est perçue sur l'expéditeur, pour les télégrammes adressés aux navires en mer, et sur le destinataire, pour les télégrammes provenant des bâtiments (Art. XXVII, § 1). Dans ce dernier cas, le préambule doit contenir l'indication: \"taxe à percevoir. francs. centimes.\" Si cette taxe ne peut pas être perçue, l'Office d'arrivée est remboursé du montant des taxes dues, moyennant bulletin de remboursement.\n\nLIX.\n\n1. Les télégrammes provenant d'un navire en mer sont transmis à destination en signaux du code commercial, lorsque le navire expéditeur l'a demandé.\n\n2. Dans le cas où cette demande n'a pas été faite, ils sont traduits en langage ordinaire par le préposé du poste sémaphorique et transmis à destination.\n\n3. Les télégrammes qui dans les 30 jours du dépôt n'ont pu être signalés par les postes sémaphoriques aux bâtiments destinataires, sont mis au rebut.\n\n4. Dans le cas où le bâtiment auquel est destiné un télégramme sémaphorique, n'est pas arrivé dans le terme de 28 jours, le sémaphore en donne avis à l'expéditeur le 29 jour au matin. L'expéditeur a la faculté, en acquittant le prix ordinaire d'un télégramme terrestre de 10 mots, de demander que le sémaphore continue à présenter son télégramme, pendant une nouvelle période de 30 jours, et ainsi de suite; à défaut de cette demande, le télégramme sera remis au rebut le 30e jour.\n\ni. Dispositions générales applicables aux télégrammes spéciaux.\n\nLX.\n\nDans l'application des articles précédents, on combinera les facilités données au public pour les télégrammes urgents, les réponses payées, les télégrammes collationnés, les accusés de réception, les télégrammes à faire suivre, les télégrammes multiples et les télé...",

Télégrammes de service.\n\nArticle 5 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes sont classés en trois catégories: 10 Télégrammes d'Etat: ceux qui, etc.\n\n20 Télégrammes de service: ceux qui émanent des Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants et qui sont relatifs soit au service de la télégraphie internationale, soit à des objets d'intérêt public déterminés de concert par les dites Administrations.\n\nArticle 11 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes relatifs au service des télégraphes internationaux des Etats contractants sont transmis en franchise sur tout le réseau des dits Etats.\n\nLXI.\n\n1. Les télégrammes de service se distinguent en télégrammes de service proprement dits dont la forme est donnée par le paragraphe 1er de l'article XIV et en avis de service dont il est traité au paragraphe 2 du même article.\n\n2. Les télégrammes de service doivent être limités aux cas qui présentent un caractère d'urgence (Art. XVIII).\n\n3. Ils peuvent être émis en langage secret dans toutes les relations (Art. 6 de la Convention) et doivent, en règle générale, être rédigés en français (Article VII, § 3).\n\nLXII.\n\n1. Les avis de service sont échangés, de bureau à bureau, toutes les fois que les incidents de la transmission le nécessitent, notamment, lorsque les indications de service d'un télégramme déjà transmis ne sont pas régulières (Art. XXXII, § 4), lors de rectifications ou de renseignements relatifs à des télégrammes d'une série précédemment transmise (Art. XXXVII, §§ 1 et 2), en cas d'interruption dans les communications télégraphiques, lorsque les télégrammes ont été adressés par poste à un bureau télégraphique (Art. XL), lorsqu'un télégramme ne peut pas être remis au destinataire (Art. XLIV), lorsque le bâtiment auquel est destiné un télégramme sémaphorique n'est pas arrivé dans le terme de 28 jours (Art. LIX, § 4).\n\n2. Les avis de service relatifs à un télégramme précédemment transmis sont dirigés, autant que possible, sur les bureaux par où le télégramme primitif a transité. Ces avis doivent reproduire toutes les indications propres à faciliter les recherches des télégrammes primitifs, telles que la date de l'expédition, l'adresse et la signature de ces télégrammes.\n\n3. Lorsque les bureaux de passage ont tous les éléments nécessaires pour donner suite aux avis de service, ils prennent les mesures propres à en éviter une réexpédition inutile.\n\n11. Archives.\n\nLXIII.\n\n1. Les originaux des télégrammes et les documents y relatifs, retenus par les Administrations, sont conservés au moins pendant six mois, à compter de leur date, avec toutes les précautions nécessaires au point de vue du secret.\n\n2. Ce délai est porté à dix-huit mois pour les télégrammes extra-européens.\n\nLXIV.\n\n1. Les originaux ou les copies des télégrammes ne peuvent être communiqués qu'à l'expéditeur ou au destinataire, après constatation de son identité, ou bien au fondé de pouvoirs de l'un d'eux.\n\n2. L'expéditeur et le destinataire d'un télégramme ou leurs fondés de pouvoirs ont le droit de se faire délivrer des copies certifiées conformes de ce télégramme ou de la copie remise à l'arrivée, si cette copie a été conservée par l'Office de destination. Ce droit expire après le délai fixé pour la conservation des archives.\n\n3. Il est perçu, pour toute copie délivrée conformément au présent article, un droit fixe d'un demi-franc par télégramme ne dépassant pas cent mots. Au-delà de cent mots, ce droit est augmenté d'un demi-franc par série ou fraction de série de cent mots.\n\n4. Les Administrations télégraphiques ne sont tenues de donner communication ou copie des pièces désignées ci-dessus, que si les expéditeurs, les destinataires ou leurs ayants-droit fournissent les indications nécessaires pour trouver les télégrammes auxquels se rapportent leurs demandes.\n\n12. Détaxes et remboursements.\n\nLXV.\n\n1. Est remboursée à l'expéditeur par l'Administration qui l'a perçue, sauf recours contre les autres Administrations, s'il y a lieu:\n\na. la taxe intégrale de tout télégramme qui a éprouvé un retard notable ou qui n'est pas parvenu à destination, par le fait du service télégraphique; b. la taxe intégrale de tout télégramme collationné qui, par suite d'erreurs de transmission, n'a pu manifestement remplir son objet.\n\n2. En cas d'interruption d'une ligne sous-marine, l'expéditeur de tout télégramme a droit au remboursement de la partie de la taxe afférente au parcours non effectué, déduction faite des frais déboursés, le cas échéant, pour remplacer la voie télégraphique par un mode de transport quelconque.\n\n3. Ces dispositions ne sont pas applicables aux télégrammes empruntant les lignes d'un Office non-adhérent qui refuserait de se soumettre à l'obligation du remboursement.\n\n4. Dans les cas prévus par les paragraphes précédents, le remboursement ne peut s'appliquer qu'aux taxes des télégrammes mêmes qui ont été omis, retardés ou dénaturés, y compris les taxes accessoires, et aux taxes des télégrammes prévus à l'article XIX, mais non aux correspondances qui auraient été motivées ou rendues inutiles par l'omission, l'erreur ou le retard.\n\nLXVI.\n\n1. Toute réclamation en remboursement de taxe doit être formée, sous peine de déchéance, dans les deux mois de la perception. Ce délai est porté à six mois pour les télégrammes extra-européens.\n\n2. Toute réclamation doit être présentée à l'Office d'origine et être accompagnée des pièces probantes, savoir une déclaration écrite du bureau de destination ou du destinataire, si le télégramme n'est point parvenu, et la copie qui lui a été remise, s'il s'agit d'erreur ou de retard. Toutefois, la réclamation peut être présentée par le destinataire à l'Office de destination qui juge s'il doit y donner suite ou la faire présenter à l'Office d'origine.\n\n3. Lorsqu'une réclamation a été reconnue fondée par les Administrations intéressées, le remboursement est effectué par l'Office d'origine.\n\n4. L'expéditeur qui ne réside pas dans le pays où il a déposé son télégramme, peut faire présenter sa réclamation à l'Office d'origine, par l'intermédiaire d'un autre Office. Dans ce cas, l'Office qui l'a reçue est, s'il y a lieu, chargé d'effectuer le remboursement.\n\n5. Les réclamations communiquées d'Office à Office sont transmises avec un dossier complet, c'est-à-dire qu'elles contiennent (en original, en extrait ou en copie) toutes les pièces ou lettres qui les concernent. Ces pièces doivent être analysées en français, lorsqu'elles ne sont pas rédigées dans cette langue ou dans une langue comprise de tous les Offices intéressés.\n\n6. Les réclamations ne sont point transmises d'Office à Office:\n\na. lorsque le fait signalé ne donne point droit au remboursement;\n\nb. lorsqu'il s'agit d'un télégramme qui, n'étant pas conforme aux conditions réglementaires imposées au public, en ce qui concerne la rédaction, la langue, la clarté de l'écriture, l'adresse et les indications relatives au transport au-delà des lignes, etc., a été accepté aux risques et périls des intéressés.\n\nLXVII.\n\n1. Pour tout télégramme non remis à destination, le remboursement est supporté par les Offices sur les lignes desquels ont été commises les irrégularités qui ont empêché le télégramme de parvenir au destinataire.\n\n2. Si la réclamation de non-remise est repoussée, la remise du télégramme doit être constatée par un reçu ou par une déclaration de l'Administration destinataire.\n\n3. En cas de retard, le droit au remboursement est absolu, lorsque le télégramme n'est point arrivé à destination plus tôt qu'il n'y serait parvenu par la poste ou lorsque le retard dépasse deux fois vingt-quatre heures pour un télégramme européen et six fois vingt-quatre heures pour un télégramme sortant des limites de l'Europe.\n\n4. Le remboursement intégral de la taxe est effectué aux frais des Offices par le fait desquels le retard s'est produit et dans la proportion des retards imputables à chaque Office.\n\n5. En cas d'altération d'un télégramme collationné, l'Office d'origine détermine les erreurs qui ont empêché le télégramme de remplir son objet, et la part contributive des diverses Administrations est réglée d'après le nombre des fautes ainsi déterminées, un mot omis ou ajouté comptant pour une erreur.\n\n6. La part contributive pour l'altération d'un mot dénaturé successivement sur les lignes de plusieurs Administrations, est supportée par la première de ces Administrations.\n\n7. Les erreurs ou omissions sont imputables:\n\na. aux deux bureaux: lorsque des mots, nombres ou caractères ayant été omis ou ajoutés, le bureau qui a reçu n'a pas vérifié le compte des mots; lorsque le collationnement payé a été omis ou incomplet; lorsqu'à l'appareil Hughes, il y a eu un défaut non rectifié;\n\nb. au bureau qui a reçu: lorsqu'il n'a pas tenu compte de la rectification faite à son collationnement.\n\n23\n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91",

Dans le cas de remboursement partiel d'un télégramme avec une ou plusieurs copies, le quotient obtenu en divisant la taxe totale perçue par le nombre de copies, détermine l'indemnité à accorder pour chaque copie, le télégramme comptant à cet égard également pour une copie.\n\n9. Lorsque, par suite de l'absence ou de l'insuffisance des documents, le bureau responsable d'une erreur ou omission ne peut être désigné, le remboursement est mis à la charge de l'Administration où la preuve fait défaut.\n\n10. Lorsqu'une réclamation a été présentée et mise en circulation dans les délais fixés par le paragraphe 1er de l'article LXVI et que la solution n'a point été notifiée dans les délais fixés par l'article LXIII pour la conservation des archives, l'Office qui a reçu la réclamation, rembourse la taxe réclamée et le remboursement est mis à la charge de l'Administration qui a retardé l'instruction.\n\n11. Pour les correspondances extra-européennes, le remboursement est supporté par les différentes Administrations d'Etat ou de Compagnies privées par les lignes desquelles le télégramme a été transmis, chaque Administration abandonnant sa part de taxe.\n\nLXVIII\n\n1. La taxe d'un télégramme arrêté en vertu des articles 7 et 8 de la Convention est remboursée à l'expéditeur, s'il en fait la demande, et le remboursement est à la charge de l'Administration qui a arrêté le télégramme.\n\n2. Toutefois, lorsque cette Administration a notifié, conformément à l'article 8, la suspension de certaines correspondances déterminées, le remboursement des taxes des télégrammes de cette catégorie qui seraient arrêtés ultérieurement, doit être supporté par l'Office d'origine, à partir de la date à laquelle la notification lui est parvenue.\n\n13. Comptabilité.\n\nArticle 12 de la Convention. Les Hautes Parties contractantes se doivent réciproquement compte des taxes perçues par chacune d'elles.\n\nLXIX.\n\n1. Le franc sert d'unité monétaire dans l'établissement des comptes internationaux.\n\n2. Chaque Etat crédite l'Etat limitrophe du montant des taxes de tous les télégrammes qu'il lui a transmis, calculées depuis la frontière de ces deux Etats jusqu'à destination.\n\n3. Par exception à la disposition précédente, l'Etat qui transmet un télégramme sémaphorique venant de la mer ou qui réexpédie un télégramme à faire suivre, débite l'Etat limitrophe de la part de taxe afférente au parcours entre le point de départ du télégramme sémaphorique ou le point de départ de la première réexpédition du télégramme à faire suivre et la frontière commune des deux Etats (Art. LII, §§ 6 à 9 et LVIII, § 6).\n\n4. Les taxes terminales peuvent être liquidées directement entre Etats extrêmes, après une entente entre ces Etats et les Etats intermédiaires.\n\n5. Les taxes peuvent être réglées de commun accord, d'après le nombre des télégrammes qui ont franchi la frontière, abstraction faite du nombre des mots et des frais accessoires. Dans ce cas, les parts de l'Etat limitrophe et de chacun des Etats suivants, s'il y a lieu, sont déterminées par des moyennes établies contradictoirement (Art. LXXI, § 3).\n\n6. Dans le cas d'application de l'article LXXXII, l'Administration contractante en relation directe avec l'Office non adhérent est chargée de régler les comptes entre cet Office et les autres Offices contractants auxquels elle a servi d'intermédiaire pour la transmission.\n\nLXX.\n\n1. Les taxes afférentes aux droits de copie et de transport au delà des lignes, sont dévolues à l'Etat qui a délivré les copies ou effectué le transport.\n\n2. Les taxes normales pour réponses payées et accusés de réception sont acquises à l'Office destinataire, soit dans les comptes, soit dans l'établissement des moyennes mentionnées au paragraphe 5 de l'article précédent. Toutefois, lorsque le remboursement de la taxe de la réponse a été effectué, conformément aux paragraphes 2, 3 et 4 de l'article XLVII, la taxe normale est déduite du compte mensuel suivant de l'Office expéditeur qui a remboursé.\n\n3. Les réponses et les accusés de réception sont traités, dans la transmission et dans les comptes, comme des télégrammes ordinaires.\n\n4. Lorsqu'un télégramme, quel qu'il soit, a été transmis par une voie différente de celle qui a servi de base à la taxe, la différence de taxe est supportée par l'Office qui a détourné le télégramme, sauf recours contre l'Office à qui ce détournement est imputable.\n\nLXXI.\n\n1. La taxe qui sert de base à la répartition entre Etats et, le cas échéant, à la détermination des moyennes mentionnées au paragraphe 5 de l'article LXIX, est celle qui résulte de l'application régulière des tarifs établis entre les Etats intéressés, sans qu'il soit tenu compte des erreurs de taxation qui ont pu se produire.\n\n2. Toutefois, le nombre de mots annoncé par le bureau d'origine sert de base à l'application de la taxe, sauf le cas où, à cause d'une erreur de transmission, il aurait été rectifié d'un commun accord entre le bureau d'origine et le bureau correspondant.\n\n3. Pour déterminer les taxes moyennes, on dresse un compte mensuel comprenant, par télégramme traité individuellement, toutes les taxes accessoires de quelque nature qu'elles soient (Art. LXX). La part totale, calculée pour chaque Etat pendant le mois entier, est divisée par le nombre des télégrammes; le quotient constitue la taxe moyenne applicable à chaque télégramme dans les comptes ultérieurs, jusqu'à revision. Cette revision, sauf circonstances exceptionnelles, ne doit pas être faite avant une année.\n\nLXXII.\n\n1. Le règlement réciproque des comptes a lieu à l'expiration de chaque mois.\n\n2. Le décompte et la liquidation du solde se font à la fin de chaque trimestre.\n\n3. Le solde résultant de la liquidation est payé à l'Etat créditeur en francs d'or effectifs, à moins que les deux Administrations en cause ne se soient entendues pour l'emploi d'une autre monnaie.\n\n4. Les frais de déplacement sont à la charge de l'Office créditeur.\n\nLXXIII.\n\n1. L'échange des comptes mensuels a lieu avant l'expiration du trimestre qui suit le mois auquel ils se rapportent.\n\n2. La revision de ces comptes a lieu dans un délai maximum de six mois à dater de leur envoi. L'Office qui n'a reçu, dans cet intervalle, aucune observation rectificative, considère le compte comme admis de plein droit. Cette disposition est aussi applicable aux observations faites par un Office sur les comptes rédigés par un autre.\n\n3. Les comptes mensuels sont admis sans revision, quand la différence des sommes finales établies par les deux Administrations intéressées ne dépasse pas 1% du débit de l'Administration qui l'a établie. Dans le cas d'une revision commencée, elle doit être arrêtée, lorsque, par suite d'un échange d'observations entre les Offices intéressés, la différence qui a donné lieu à la revision se trouve renfermée dans les limites de 1%.\n\n4. Il n'est pas admis de réclamation, dans les comptes, au sujet de télégrammes ordinaires ayant plus de six mois de date et de télégrammes extra-européens ayant plus de dix-huit mois de date.\n\n14. Réserves.\n\nArticle 17 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes se réservent respectivement le droit de prendre séparément, entre elles, des arrangements particuliers de toute nature sur les points du service qui n'intéressent pas la généralité des Etats.\n\nLXXIV.\n\nLes points du service sur lesquels porte la réserve prévue à l'article 17 de la Convention, sont notamment:\n\nl'établissement des tarifs d'Etat à Etat;\n\nle règlement des comptes;\n\nl'adoption d'appareils ou de vocabulaires spéciaux, entre des points et dans des cas déterminés;\n\nl'application du système des timbres-télégraphe;\n\nla transmission des mandats d'argent par le télégraphe;\n\nla perception des taxes à l'arrivée;\n\nle service de la remise des télégrammes à destination;\n\nla faculté de transmettre à prix réduit des correspondances à l'usage de la presse, à des heures et à des conditions déterminées, sans préjudice pour le service général;\n\nl'extension du droit de franchise aux télégrammes de service qui concernent la météorologie et tous autres objets d'intérêt public.\n\n15. Bureau international.\n\nCommunications\n\nArticle 14 de la Convention. Un organe central, placé sous la haute autorité de l'Administration supérieure de l'un des Gouvernements contractants désigné à cet effet par le règlement, est chargé de réunir, de coordonner et de publier les renseignements de toute nature relatifs à la télégraphie internationale, d'instruire les demandes de modification aux tarifs et au règlement de service, de publier les\n\n25\n\n87",

L'organe central prévu par l'article 14 de la Convention reçoit le titre de Bureau international des Administrations télégraphiques.\n\n2. L'Administration supérieure de la Confédération suisse est désignée pour organiser le Bureau international dans les conditions déterminées par les articles LXXVI à LXXVIII suivants.\n\nLXXVI.\n\n1. Les frais communs du Bureau international des Administrations télégraphiques ne doivent pas dépasser, par année, la somme de 60,000 francs, non compris les frais spéciaux auxquels donne lieu la réunion d'une Conférence internationale. Cette somme pourra être augmentée ultérieurement du consentement de toutes les Parties contractantes.\n\n2. L'Administration désignée, en vertu de l'article 14 de la Convention, pour la direction du Bureau international, en surveille les dépenses, fait les avances nécessaires et établit le compte annuel qui est communiqué à toutes les autres Administrations intéressées.\n\n3. Pour la répartition des frais, les Etats contractants ou adhérents sont divisés en six classes, contribuant chacune dans la proportion d'un certain nombre d'unités, savoir:\n\n1re classe 25 unités;\n\n2e 20\n\n3e 15\n\n4e 10\n\n5e 5\n\n6e 3\n\n4. Ces coefficients sont multipliés par le nombre d'Etats de chaque classe et la somme des produits ainsi obtenus fournit le nombre d'unités par lequel la dépense totale doit être divisée. Le quotient donne le montant de l'unité de dépense.\n\n5. Les Administrations des Etats contractants sont, pour la contribution aux frais, réparties ainsi qu'il suit, dans les six classes dont il est fait mention au paragraphe précédent :\n\n1re classe: Allemagne, Brésil, France, Grande-Bretagne, Indes britanniques, Italie, Russie, Turquie;\n\n2e classe: Autriche, Espagne, Hongrie;\n\n3e classe: Belgique, Pays-Bas, Indes néerlandaises, Roumanie, Suède;\n\n4e classe: Australie du Sud, Danemark, Egypte, Japon, Norvège, Nouvelle-Zélande, Suisse, Victoria;\n\n5e classe: Grèce, Portugal, Serbie;\n\n6e classe: Luxembourg, Perse.\n\nLXXVII.\n\n1. Les Offices des Etats contractants se transmettent réciproquement tous les documents relatifs à leur administration intérieure et se communiquent tout perfectionnement qu'ils viendraient à introduire.\n\n2. En règle générale, le Bureau international sert d'intermédiaire à ces notifications.\n\n3. Les dits Offices envoient par la poste, par lettre affranchie, au Bureau international, la notification de toutes les mesures relatives à la composition et aux changements de tarifs, tant intérieurs qu'internationaux; à l'ouverture de lignes nouvelles et à la suppression de lignes existantes, en tant que ces lignes intéressent le service international; enfin, aux ouvertures, suppressions et modifications de service des bureaux. Les documents imprimés ou autographiés à ce sujet par les Administrations sont expédiés au Bureau international, soit à la date de leur distribution, soit, au plus tard, le premier jour du mois qui suit cette date.\n\n4. Les dites Administrations lui envoient, en outre, par télégraphe, avis de toutes les interruptions ou rétablissements des communications qui affectent la correspondance internationale.\n\n5. Elles lui font parvenir, au commencement de chaque année et aussi complètement qu'il leur est possible, des tableaux statistiques du mouvement des correspondances, de la situation des lignes, du nombre des bureaux et des appareils, etc. Ces tableaux sont dressés d'après les indications du Bureau international qui distribue, à cet effet, les formules toutes préparées.\n\n6. Elles adressent également à ce Bureau deux exemplaires des publications diverses qu'elles font paraître.\n\n7. Le Bureau international reçoit, en outre, communication de tous les renseignements relatifs aux expériences auxquelles chaque Administration a pu procéder sur les différentes parties du service.\n\nLXXVIII\n\n1. Le Bureau international coordonne et publie le tarif. Il communique aux Administrations, en temps utile, tous les renseignements y relatifs, en particulier ceux qui sont spécifiés au paragraphe 3 de l'article précédent. S'il y a urgence, ces communications sont transmises par la voie télégraphique, notamment dans les cas prévus par le paragraphe 4 du même article. Dans les notifications relatives aux changements de tarifs, il donne à ces communications la forme voulue pour que ces changements puissent être immédiatement introduits dans le texte des tableaux des taxes annexés à la Convention.\n\n2. Le Bureau international dresse une statistique générale.\n\n3. Il rédige, à l'aide des documents qui sont mis à sa disposition, un journal télégraphique en langue française.\n\n4. Il dresse, publie et revise périodiquement une carte officielle des relations télégraphiques.\n\n5. Il doit, d'ailleurs, se tenir en tout temps à la disposition des Administrations des Etats contractants, pour leur fournir, sur les questions qui intéressent la télégraphie internationale, les renseignements spéciaux de tous genres dont elles pourraient avoir besoin.\n\n6. Les documents imprimés par le Bureau international sont distribués aux Administrations des Etats contractants dans la proportion du nombre d'unités contributives, d'après l'article LXXVI. Les documents supplémentaires que réclameraient ces Administrations, sont payés à part, d'après leur prix de revient. Il en est de même des documents demandés par les exploitations privées.\n\n7. Les demandes de cette nature doivent être formulées une fois pour toutes, jusqu'à nouvel avis, et de manière à donner au Bureau international le temps de régler le tirage en conséquence.\n\n8. Le Bureau international instruit, lorsqu'il en est chargé par un ou plusieurs des Offices intéressés, les demandes de modifications au Tarif et au Règlement prévues par les articles 10 et 13 de la Convention. Après avoir obtenu l'assentiment unanime des Administrations en cause et, le cas échéant, l'adhésion des autres Offices intéressés, il fait promulguer, en temps utile, les changements adoptés. Il est, d'ailleurs, chargé de notifier toutes les modifications du Tarif et du Règlement, quelle que soit la forme suivie pour leur adoption. Cette notification ne sera exécutoire qu'après un délai de deux mois, au moins, et, en cas de réclamation, après que l'accord se sera établi sur le point en litige.\n\n9. Dans les questions à résoudre par l'assentiment des Administrations contractantes, celles qui n'ont point fait parvenir leur réponse dans le délai maximum de quatre mois, sont considérées comme consentantes.\n\n10. Le Bureau international prépare les travaux des Conférences télégraphiques. Il pourvoit aux copies et impressions nécessaires, à la rédaction et à la distribution des amendements, procès-verbaux et autres renseignements.\n\n27\n\n11. Le Directeur du Bureau assiste aux séances de la Conférence et prend part aux discussions sans voix délibérative.\n\n12. Le Bureau international fait sur sa gestion un rapport annuel qui est communiqué à toutes les Administrations des Etats contractants.\n\n13. Sa gestion est également soumise à l'examen et à l'appréciation des Conférences prévues par l'article 15 de la Convention.\n\n16. Conférences.\n\nArticle 15 de la Convention.\n\nLe tarif et le règlement prévus par les articles 10 et 13 sont annexés à la présente Convention. Ils ont la même valeur et entrent en vigueur en même temps qu'elle.\n\nIl seront soumis à des revisions où tous les Etats qui y ont pris part, pourront se faire représenter.\n\nA cet effet, des Conférences administratives auront lieu périodiquement, chaque Conférence fixant elle-même le lieu et l'époque de la réunion suivante.\n\nArticle 16 de la Convention. Ces Conférences sont composées des délégués représentant les Administrations des Etats contractants. Dans les délibérations, chaque Administration a droit à une voix, sous réserve, s'il s'agit d'Administrations différentes d'un même Gouvernement, que la demande en ait été faite par voie diplomatique au Gouvernement du pays où doit se réunir la Conférence, avant la date fixée pour son ouverture, et que chacune d'entre elles ait une représentation spéciale et distincte.\n\nLes revisions résultant des délibérations des Conférences ne sont exécutoires qu'après avoir reçu l'approbation de tous les Gouvernements des Etats contractants.\n\nLXXIX.\n\nL'époque fixée pour la réunion des Conférences prévues par le paragraphe 3 de l'article 15 de la Convention, est avancée, si la demande en est faite par dix au moins des Etats contractants.\n\n17. Adhésion. Relations avec les Offices non-adhérents.\n\nArticle 18 de la Convention.\n\nLes Etats qui n'ont point pris part à la présente Convention seront admis à y adhérer sur leur demande. Cette adhésion sera notifiée par la voie diplomatique à celui des Etats contractants au sein duquel la dernière Conférence aura été tenue et par cet Etat à tous les autres.\n\n88",

Dans le cas des adhésions prévues par l'article 18 de la Convention, les Administrations des Etats contractants peuvent refuser le bénéfice de leurs tarifs conventionnels aux Offices qui demanderaient à adhérer, sans conformer eux-mêmes leurs tarifs à ceux des Etats intéressés.\n\n2. Les Offices qui ont, en dehors de l'Europe, des lignes pour lesquelles ils ont adhéré à la Convention, déclarent quel est, du régime européen ou extra-européen, celui qu'ils entendent leur appliquer. Cette déclaration résulte de l'inscription dans les tableaux des taxes ou est notifiée ultérieurement par l'intermédiaire du Bureau international.\n\nLXXXI.\n\n1. Les exploitations télégraphiques privées qui fonctionnent dans les limites d'un ou de plusieurs Etats contractants avec participation au service international, sont considérées, au point de vue de ce service, comme faisant partie intégrante du réseau télégraphique de ces Etats.\n\n2. Les autres exploitations télégraphiques privées sont admises aux avantages stipulés par la Convention et par le présent Règlement, moyennant accession à toutes leurs clauses obligatoires et sur la notification de l'Etat qui a concédé ou autorisé l'exploitation. Cette notification a lieu conformément au second paragraphe de l'article 18 de la Convention.\n\n3. Cette accession doit être imposée aux exploitations qui relient entre eux deux ou plusieurs des Etats contractants, pour autant qu'elles soient engagées par leur contrat de concession à se soumettre, sous ce rapport, aux obligations prescrites par l'Etat qui a accordé la concession.\n\n4. La réserve qui fait l'objet du paragraphe 1er de l'article précédent est applicable aussi aux exploitations susmentionnées.\n\nLXXXII.\n\n1. Lorsque des relations télégraphiques sont ouvertes avec des Etats non-adhérents ou avec des exploitations privées qui n'auraient point accédé aux dispositions obligatoires du présent Règlement, ces dispositions sont invariablement appliquées aux correspondances dans la partie de leur parcours qui emprunte le territoire des Etats contractants ou adhérents.\n\n2. Les Administrations intéressées fixent la taxe applicable à cette partie du parcours.

        "content_text": "Pour diriger notre politique coloniale. En ce qui concerne particulièrement le Tonkin, le Ministre des Affaires étrangères a annoncé que le Gouvernement croit nécessaire que nous nous y fixions à titre définitif, pour y faire régner l'ordre et la tranquillité qui seuls pourront assurer le développement commercial et industriel de la contrée. Le moment est venu aujourd'hui de donner une forme plus précise à ce projet et de vous demander les ressources nécessaires pour en assurer l'exécution.\n\nVous n'ignorez pas, Messieurs, qu'un traité du 15 mai 1874 a placé le royaume d'Annam vis-à-vis de la France dans une situation qui constitue une sorte de protectorat. Il a été convenu, en effet, entre les parties contractantes, que le roi Tu-Duc s'engageait à conformer sa politique extérieure à la nôtre, sauf en matière commerciale, à permettre aux Français de s'établir dans un certain nombre de localités et, sous certaines conditions, de voyager dans le pays tout entier. La France obtenait le droit d'avoir, dans plusieurs villes, des consuls, lesquels étaient même autorisés à entretenir pour leur sécurité une force armée. Quant à la province du Tonkin, la plus riche du royaume et la plus importante, la cour de Hué s'engageait à assurer la libre navigation du fleuve Rouge.\n\nLa plupart de ces engagements ont été, depuis 1874, l'objet de nombreuses violations de la part des Annamites. Le fleuve Rouge n'a jamais, en fait, été ouvert au commerce, ses rives étant restées, sur plusieurs points, occupées par les pirates connus sous le nom de Pavillons noirs, qui empêchent les trafiquants de circuler librement. A plusieurs reprises, des voyageurs français entrés dans le pays après s'être conformés à toutes les dispositions du traité, ont été molestés, sans que notre chargé d'affaires à Hué ait pu obtenir satisfaction.\n\nDès 1880, le gouvernement de la République a reconnu l'impérieuse nécessité de faire cesser un état de choses dont la prolongation porterait une atteinte funeste à notre situation dans l'extrême Orient. Les circonstances n'ont pas permis de donner suite à ce projet avant le commencement de l'année dernière. S'autorisant des instructions concertées entre les départements des Affaires étrangères et de la Marine, le gouverneur de la Cochinchine avait arrêté, au mois de janvier 1882, certaines mesures destinées à accentuer notre protectorat sur l'empire Annamite. Il ne s'agissait, toutefois, ni d'une conquête du Tonkin, ni même d'une entreprise pouvant nous conduire à intervenir dans l'administration intérieure de ce pays. On se proposait seulement d'envoyer sur le fleuve Rouge les forces navales nécessaires pour chasser les Pavillons noirs qui en occupent les rives, et d'assurer ainsi la liberté du commerce. Ce n'était donc pas, à proprement parler, une expédition militaire que nous entreprenions, puisque nos troupes ne devaient agir que contre les pirates. Les événements ont démontré qu'il y avait plus à faire. Les mandarins annamites, au lieu de voir en nos troupes des auxiliaires venant accomplir une œuvre qu'ils étaient incapables d'exécuter eux-mêmes, ont manifesté des intentions peu amicales et noué des intrigues avec nos adversaires. La nécessité de pourvoir à la sécurité de ses hommes a conduit le commandant Rivière, à s'emparer, l'an dernier, dès le 25 avril, de la citadelle de Hanoi. Tout récemment l'attitude des Annamites devenant plus inquiétante, leurs préparatifs militaires risquant de nous obliger à des efforts d'autant plus grands que nous tarderions davantage, le commandant Rivière a dû occuper encore quelques nouveaux points stratégiques parmi lesquels figure l'importante forteresse de Nam-Dinh qui est la clef du Delta du Song-Koi et où flotte notre pavillon depuis le 28 mars dernier.\n\nIl s'agit de savoir, Messieurs, si nous abandonnerons le Tonkin comme on a fait en 1873, à la suite de l'expédition de Fr. Garnier, ou si, au contraire, nous prendrons les mesures indispensables pour y conserver la situation acquise. Le Gouvernement estime qu'il est temps de mettre fin à l'incertitude que les événements de ces dernières années ont jeté\n\n- 3\n\nN° 1853\n\n215",

        "content_text": "sur nos intentions. Notre retraite en 1873, la longanimité dont nous avons fait preuve ensuite, en présence des violations du traité de 1874, ont pu être considérées comme les marques d'indécision ou de faiblesse et n'ont pas été sans nuire au renom de la France en Asie.\n\nD'autre part, il faut considérer que les habitants laborieux et pacifiques du Tonkin sont loin de nous être hostiles. Soumis à un régime arbitraire, exposés aux incursions de bandes indisciplinées, ils voient dans notre installation permanente une garantie de justice et d'ordre. Ces dispositions n'ont pas été sans influence sur l'accueil que nos troupes ont rencontré jusqu'à présent. Mais, en même temps qu'elles sont de nature à faciliter notre action, elles nous imposent, en quelque sorte, le devoir de ne pas trahir la confiance que les populations ont mise en nous et de ne pas les livrer sans protection aux dangers auxquels les exposerait la sympathie même qu'elles nous ont témoignée.\n\nUn nouvel abandon du Tonkin serait tenu pour une abdication dans ces régions de l'extrême orient, où notre pavillon figure avec honneur parmi ceux des principales puissances commerciales, et où l'expédition de 1860 lui a donné un prestige que nous ne devons pas laisser déchoir. Si, comme nous l'espérons, cette manière de voir est aussi la vôtre, nous établirons définitivement et sur des bases solides notre occupation, et nous aurons, outre l'accroissement légitime d'influence qui résulte d'une politique énergique et suivie, l'honneur d'ouvrir ainsi au commerce français et européen un des plus riches pays de l'Asie.\n\n1.\n\nPour nous établir solidement au Tonkin, et pour affirmer aux yeux de tous notre résolution de nous y maintenir, en donnant au commerce la sécurité qui lui fait défaut aujourd'hui, et en montrant aux indigènes qu'ils peuvent mettre en nous leur confiance, il est nécessaire en ce moment de renforcer nos forces navales, et d'accroître l'effectif de nos troupes d'occupation.\n\nLe Gouvernement estime que le but qu'il se propose sera atteint, en ce qui concerne les forces navales, par l'envoi d'un cuirassé de station, de deux canonnières sur la côte, et de quelques petits navires dans les différents bras du fleuve Rouge, l'adjonction de ces navires à nos divisions navales de Chine et de Cochinchine, permettra de parer à toutes les éventualités. Quant au corps d'occupation, son effectif devra s'élever au début à 3.000 hommes de troupes métropolitaines et à 1.000 tirailleurs annamites. Comme il compte actuellement depuis l'arrivée de la « Corrèze », 1.000 hommes et que la Cochinchine pourra fournir un complément de 500, il n'y aura lieu d'envoyer de France que 1.500 hommes.\n\nLa haute administration sera confiée à un commissaire général civil de la République, chargé d'organiser le protectorat et d'assurer la perception des sommes destinées à rembourser les frais de notre occupation. C'est qu'en effet il est nécessaire de prévoir le payement par le Tonkin, dont les ressources à cet égard sont largement suffisantes, de toutes les dépenses que nous faisons pour maintenir la tranquillité dans ce pays, le débarrasser des bandes de pillards et des flottilles de pirates qui l'oppriment et assurer le développement de ses richesses agricoles.\n\nCes remboursements ne pourront avoir lieu immédiatement, il conviendra plus tard d'ouvrir un budget spécial du Tonkin; mais en attendant il est nécessaire de prévoir au budget ordinaire les dépenses que nécessitera en 1883 la réalisation du programme que nous venons de vous exposer.\n\nCes dépenses peuvent être évaluées de la manière suivante :\n\nAugmentation des forces navales :\n\n1 cuirassé de station. canonnières. 2 torpilleurs. mement pendant huit mois.\n\n1 canonnière. 4 chaloupes\n\n4 chaloupes à vapeur.- Ar-\n\n1 transport. - Armement\n\n216\n\nN° 1853\n\n5",

With respect to the country organization of Tonquin, M.

Challemel Lacour is further reported to have declared that he was opposed to the re-establishment of the national dynasty in Tonquin and preferred to maintain the state of things at present in existence.\n\nFinally, according to the account given in the Débats, M. Challemel Lacour informed the Committee that the mission of M. de Myre-Mory was to invite the Emperor of Annam to some stipulations additional to the Treaty of 1874, that a certain time would be given to the Emperor to decide and that this time being passed, France would proceed to action in case of a refusal.

Challemel-Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères,\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères a fourni à la commission des renseignements détaillés relatifs à l'avenir que le Tonkin offre à notre commerce et aux droits que nous confèrent les traités.\n\nIl résulte des explications de M. Challemel-Lacour que le traité conclu avec la Chine par M. Bourée, ambassadeur du gouvernement français à Pékin, sous réserve de l'adhésion du gouvernement français, avait pour objet l'établissement d'une zone neutre entre le Tonkin et la Chine, zone sur laquelle la Chine se réservait néanmoins des droits assez étendus.\n\nLa Chine s'engageait, en outre, à ouvrir la navigation du fleuve Rouge dans la traversée de ses États, mais elle réclamait par compensation la propriété de la ville tonkinoise de Lao Kai, afin d'y établir sa ligne de douanes. Cette dernière ville est le centre de ralliement des pirates connus sous le nom de pavillons noirs. La Chine, moyennant ces concessions, consentait à reconnaître notre protectorat sur le Tonkin.\n\nM. Challemel-Lacour a expliqué que le gouvernement français avait cru devoir refuser son approbation à un tel traité, parce qu'il impliquait la reconnaissance de la suzeraineté de la Chine sur l'empire d'Annam.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères a alors mis fin à la mission de M. Bourée auprès de la cour de Pékin.\n\nCe rappel, d'ailleurs, n'a nullement le caractère d'une disgrâce; il est la conséquence de notre refus d'approuver le traité. Le gouvernement français entend ne discuter en rien avec la Chine les droits sur le Tonkin que nous tenons des traités antérieurs.\n\nEn ce qui concerne l'expédition projetée au Tonkin, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a affirmé que nos droits et nos projets n'avaient donné lieu à aucune négociation ni à aucun entretien avec une puissance étrangère quelconque.\n\nM. Challemel-Lacour a indiqué les projets que le gouvernement français veut réaliser au point de vue de l'organisation administrative; celle-ci consiste dans la création de corps locaux rappelant dans une certaine mesure nos Conseils municipaux; cet ordre de choses serait maintenu.\n\nLa justice et l'administration financière sont entre les mains de mandarins annamites que l'on s'efforcera de remplacer par des Tonkinois ou par des Annamites favorables à la France.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères n'est pas favorable au rétablissement de la dynastie nationale du Tonkin, à raison des nombreuses compétitions qui existent et qui produiraient nécessairement une confusion dans la situation. Il préfère conserver l'ordre de choses existant.\n\nM. Challemel-Lacour dit que la mission de M. de Kergaradec a pour but de soumettre à l'approbation de l'empereur d'Annam plusieurs dispositions additionnelles au traité de 1874; un délai sera laissé à l'empereur Tu-Duc pour se décider, et, à l'expiration de ce délai, la France passera outre en cas de refus.\n\nLa commission est unanimement favorable au vote du crédit demandé par le gouvernement, et le rapport va être fait très prochainement par M.

        "content_text": "243\n\nremettre en question ce qui, à ce moment, était et eût dû rester bien fini.\n\nTous ceux qui connaissaient le Tonkin, et s'intéressaient à lui, tous ceux qui avaient à cœur l'avenir de la France dans cet extrême Orient, s'efforçaient, par des conférences, des brochures, des publications dans la presse, d'instruire et d'édifier l'opinion. Par eux, on avait appris que le peuple tonkinois, malgré notre premier abandon, avait encore en nous toutes ses espérances; que lors de sa dernière révolte contre l'oppresseur, il avait arboré le drapeau de la France, qu'il nous appelait de tous ses vœux, prêt à se donner à nous, si nous le délivrions du joug détesté de l'Annam. Ce fait, si heureux pour nous, cette confiance des Tonkinois, il était en effet impossible de le méconnaître, et la presse étrangère elle-même le proclamait dans tous ces parages, en invitant la France à accomplir l'œuvre de délivrance et de civilisation à laquelle étaient intéressées toutes les nations.\n\nCependant des événements qui se sont succédé sur un théâtre plus rapproché captivèrent un moment l'attention et le Tonkin eût été à peu près oublié si le Gouvernement n'eût demandé, en juillet 1881, un crédit de deux millions quatre cent mille francs, pour faire construire des bâtiments d'un type spécial, destinés à naviguer dans le fleuve Rouge et à détruire la piraterie dans les rivières et sur les côtes du Tonkin.\n\nLa marine n'employa pas ce crédit avec une suffisante activité, et en 1882 les pirates du haut du fleuve, connus sous le nom de pavillons noirs, se livrèrent à de telles déprédations et devinrent si arrogants, que le gouverneur de Cochinchine crut devoir renforcer la petite garde qui se trouvait à Hanoï pour assurer la sécurité de notre consul et des Européens. Le chef de cette petite expédition fut amené, peu après son arrivée dans la capitale du Tonkin, à s'emparer de la citadelle, qui a été à peu près démantelée. Cet événement produisit en France une certaine émotion; des nouvelles souvent inexactes, toujours exagérées, firent croire qu'il pouvait se produire quelques dangers pour nos nationaux. Lors de la discussion du budget, le Ministre de la Marine, l'amiral Jaureguiberry, annonçait le dépôt prochain d'un projet de loi, portant ouverture des crédits qu'il jugeait nécessaires pour mener à bien notre action au Tonkin.\n\nPage 5\n\nNo 1889\n\nOn sait ce qu'il en advint; des désaccords se produisirent, dit-on, au sein du Gouvernement et le dépôt du projet n'eut jamais lieu.\n\nUne demande d'interpellation déposée par le député de la Cochinchine fut renvoyée à la session suivante, par suite de la maladie des deux Ministres intéressés, par suite surtout de cette considération qu'un renfort de 750 hommes parti par la Corrèze éloignait tout danger immédiat.\n\nOn sait les circonstances qui empêchèrent tout d'abord l'affaire du Tonkin de venir à l'ordre du jour. Le Ministère Duclere fut remplacé par le Ministère Fallières et celui-ci par le Ministère actuel, avant que la question pût venir en discussion.\n\nMais les événements avaient marché, c'était bien facile à prévoir. Le 27 décembre, lorsque la Chambre remit à la session de janvier la discussion de l'interpellation, elle fut bien avertie, en effet, qu'il était fort à craindre qu'elle se trouvât plus tard en présence d'un fait accompli. Cette crainte s'est en partie réalisée. Des faits se sont succédé dont l'importance n'échappera à personne. Les troupes de renfort portées par la Corrèze ont été dans la nécessité de s'emparer d'Hong-Hay, dans la baie d'Alung. Notre consul à Hué, le commandant Rheinart, a amené son pavillon et s'est retiré avec sa suite; son action était devenue inutile et il y aurait eu danger, sans profit possible, à demeurer sans défense, au milieu d'une population qui pouvait facilement devenir violente.\n\nD'un autre côté, le commandant Rivière avait été obligé de s'emparer de la citadelle de Nam-Dinh, sur le Bobé (branche méridionale du fleuve Rouge), afin de conserver la libre circulation du fleuve et de protéger ses communications de\n\n2",

Le commandant Rivière a eu une heureuse initiative en empêchant de couper les communications que, par une branche importante du fleuve, il avait avec la mer; mais ce coup de force, venant après celui d'Hanoi, crée une situation qui ne peut se prolonger. C'est pour la résoudre que le Gouvernement a déposé le projet de loi, qui vous est actuellement soumis.\n\nTel est, Messieurs, l'état actuel de la question brièvement esquissé.\n\nII.\n\nExposé historique.\n\nDans cette affaire comme dans toutes les autres, il y a des droits et des devoirs, qu'il est nécessaire de bien définir, pour en connaître l'importance et l'étendue. Lorsque les uns et les autres seront bien déterminés, lorsque nous nous serons rendu compte des moyens par lesquels nous devons arriver, le plus rapidement et dans les meilleurs conditions, à faire valoir les uns et à faire face aux autres, il sera facile d'apprécier le projet du Gouvernement. C'est à cette étude que s'est livrée votre commission.\n\nIl serait sans grand intérêt de rechercher l'origine des relations qui ont existé au siècle dernier entre la France et le Tonkin ou l'Annam. Il suffira de rappeler que dès cette époque notre pays joua en Indo-Chine un rôle très actif. De riches Chinois, les Tay-Soon, avaient levé contre le roi Gia-Long l'étendard de la révolte. Réfugié dans l'île de Phu-Quoc, qui seule lui resta fidèle, le roi détrôné fut soutenu par les conseils d'un évêque français, M. de Behaine, plus connu sous le nom d'évêque d'Adran. Le roi de France, Louis XVI, envoya, à la demande du prélat, un corps de troupe, qui fut retenu en grande partie par le gouverneur de l'Inde; mais le colonel du génie Ollivier et d'autres officiers, entre autres MM. Chaigneau et Vannier arrivèrent auprès de Gia-Long; grâce à eux, à l'instruction et à la discipline qu'ils surent introduire dans l'armée, grâce à leur supériorité sur les chefs rebelles, Gia-Long reconquit rapidement ses États et put même imposer sa suzeraineté au roi du Tonkin, dont les rois d'Annam avaient au contraire été jusque-là les vassaux. Un traité lia alors l'Annam à la France, mais les événements de la Révolution le firent perdre de vue, il resta toujours lettre morte; un établissement, fondé dans les environs de Nam-Dinh, fut même abandonné et il ne resta du souvenir de la France que l'image de son organisation administrative et de sa hiérarchie militaire, qui se sont maintenues jusqu'à aujourd'hui. On retrouve en effet dans ces pays la commune vigoureusement organisée, au-dessus d'elle le canton et la province, avec des fonctionnaires pour l'administration, la justice, les finances, etc., comme on retrouve dans l'armée le caporal et le sergent (le caï et le doi) et ainsi de suite jusqu'au lam-binh qui équivaut à notre général.\n\nVers 1859 les chrétiens du Tonkin demandèrent secours à la France et à l'Espagne contre les persécutions dont ils étaient victimes de la part du roi d'Annam. C'est une chose fort curieuse assurément que ces persécutions religieuses, car dans tous ces pays on professe et on pratique, en toute sincérité du reste, l'indifférence la plus réelle et la plus profonde en matière religieuse. Le Boudhisme n'existe guère que de nom et le seul culte est à vrai dire celui des ancêtres. Aussi les persécutions contre les missionnaires étaient dirigées contre eux bien plus parce qu'ils étaient Européens que parce qu'ils étaient chrétiens.\n\nCette époque coïncidait avec la guerre de Chine, aussi fîmes-nous sans grands sacrifices, et de concert avec les Espagnols...\n\n-7\nNo 1889\n214",

Moins de 2.000 Européens avaient culbuté 30.000 Annamites, bien armés, retranchés derrière des lignes savamment construites et défendues par plus de 500 canons.\n\nEn 1867, l'amiral de la Grandière, alors gouverneur de la Cochinchine, s'empara, sans coup férir, des trois provinces annamites de Vinh-long, Chandoc et Hatien. De là, la cour d'Hué suscitait dans nos provinces des révoltes continuelles ; elle apportait du reste au payement de l'indemnité de guerre une mauvaise volonté qui, après un grand nombre de sommations inefficaces, justifiait notre action.\n\nLe traité de 1862 ne fut pas pour cela régulièrement dénoncé et si les rapports avec Hué restèrent fort tendus, ils ne furent cependant pas rompus. Ils restèrent tels, que c'est l'Annam qui provoqua lui-même notre intervention au Tonkin, lors des événements qui précédèrent immédiatement les traités de 1874.\n\nVous savez tous, Messieurs, que vers cette époque, un négociant français, qui depuis longtemps habitait la Chine, affirma le premier que, pour mettre les provinces intérieures de la Chine en communication avec la mer, le chemin le plus court était la vallée du fleuve Rouge et ce fleuve lui-même, dont il constata la navigabilité depuis Mang-flao dans le Yunan, jusque dans le golfe du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire sur un parcours d'environ quatre cents milles (186 lieues ordinaires). Vous savez que notre compatriote, appuyé par les autorités chinoises, voulut utiliser sa découverte et porter, par cette voie, des armes perfectionnées au vice-roi du Yunan, qui en avait besoin pour réduire l'insurrection musulmane, et ramener, par le même chemin, les riches minerais, qui devaient lui être donnés en échange de ses fournitures. Vous n'ignorez pas que l'Annam, qui ne reconnaissait pas alors cette suzeraineté de la Chine, sur laquelle il s'appuie aujourd'hui au mépris des traités, voulut interdire à Dupuis le passage par le Tonkin, et comment, impuissant contre l'énergique explorateur, il demanda contre lui l'aide, la protection, l'assistance du gouverneur de Cochinchine.\n\nC'est ici que se place cette histoire incroyable de Francis Garnier, qui tient de la légende, histoire glorieuse et triste à la fois, qu'il faut bien rappeler cependant lorsqu'on s'occupe du Tonkin.\n\nEnvoyé en quelque sorte contre Dupuis, Francis Garnier comprit bien vite que le gouvernement français allait être la dupe de l'astuce des Annamites; il préféra devenir leur ennemi plutôt que leur victime. Avec moins de cent soldats ou marins français, aidé par Dupuis qui avait ses navires et 80 Chinois, Garnier s'empara, en moins d'une heure, de la citadelle d'Hanoï, défendue par 6.000 hommes et plus de 300 canons, fit l'armée ennemie prisonnière et, ce qui est plus difficile, put la garder.\n\nOn n'a pu oublier qu'après avoir pourvu à la garnison de cette immense forteresse d'Hanoi, Garnier put encore former avec sa petite troupe trois corps expéditionnaires. Ces corps ne comptaient pas plus de six ou sept hommes, mais ils avaient pour chefs, Balny d'Avricourt, Hautefeuille, de Trentinian, Harmand, et ces six ou sept hommes s'emparèrent de provinces entières, de villes considérables, de citadelles construites comme celles d'Hanoi, d'après le système Vauban, défendues par des milliers d'hommes parfaitement pourvus de vivres, de munitions, d'artillerie....\n\nGrâce à cette poignée de héros nous tenions tout le pays, nous pouvions le garder... La mort de Garnier n'avait point abattu l'énergie de ses compagnons. Balny avait succombé avec son chef, mais le lieutenant de Garnier, Esmès, eut le temps de montrer ce dont il eût été capable et il lui restait Harmand, de Trentinian, Hautefeuille, qui occupaient les trois grands chefs-lieux des trois plus riches provinces.\n\nC'est à ce moment, où le Tonkin enfin délivré se donnait ses libérateurs, s'organisait avec ses mandarins, ...\n\nPage 3\n\n245",

Elle est féconde en enseignements d'un ordre tout à fait pratique, que quelques courtes considérations feront suffisamment ressortir.\n\nMais auparavant la Commission manifeste le désir que la conduite des jeunes officiers, dont le nom est si glorieusement attaché au Tonkin, reçoive la récompense qu'ils ont si bien méritée et qu'ils attendent encore.\n\nIl est temps aussi que la décision de la Chambre relative à M. Dupuis reçoive enfin son exécution. Il faut indemniser l'explorateur du fleuve Rouge des sacrifices qui lui ont été patriotiquement imposés et de ceux qu'il s'est imposés à lui-même.\n\nIl y a quatre-vingts ans à peu près, le Tonkin était riche et heureux. Sa population, plus dense encore qu'elle ne l'est aujourd'hui, tirait d'un sol merveilleusement fertile deux récoltes annuelles. Le commerce y était très actif, les jonques tonkinoises se montraient dans les divers ports de la Chine, elles remontaient jusqu'au Japon et on les rencontrait dans le détroit de Malacca. Le pays était le lieu naturel du transit de tous les produits du Yunan, du Kwan-Si, du Szhe-Tchuen et du haut Laos; l'industrie y était très florissante, les tissus de soie, les brocarts d'or et d'argent, les éclatantes teintures, les gracieux et légers bijoux en filigrane, les jolis meubles incrustés de nacre, la céramique, tous les arts connus en Orient étaient là en honneur. Des mines fort riches et très nombreuses, presque abandonnées aujourd'hui, étaient alors en pleine exploitation. La prospérité était générale; c'était l'âge d'or pour ce peuple si doux et si sympathique. Et puis, il vivait libre du joug de l'étranger, faisant respecter son indépendance à la fois par les Annamites et par les Chinois, qui aspirèrent souvent à le dominer.\n\nAu commencement du siècle, une guerre malheureuse livra le pays aux Annamites. Leur domination débuta par le massacre de tous ceux des membres de la famille royale des Lé dont ils purent s'emparer, et avec eux des principaux mandarins, de leurs plus fidèles partisans. Tous ceux qui, quelque peu au-dessus des autres par la naissance, par la fortune ou par le savoir, eussent pu se mettre à la tête du peuple pour revendiquer l'indépendance, furent exilés, persécutés, mis à mort, sous les plus frivoles prétextes. Les Annamites en un mot pratiquèrent impitoyablement cette politique que l'histoire prête au dernier des Tarquin, et ils trouvèrent toujours le moyen d'abattre toute tête qui s'élevait un peu au-dessus du vulgaire. Le peuple, terrorisé et sans chef, se révolta néanmoins plusieurs fois contre ses bourreaux, mais il fut vaincu par ceux qui avaient pour eux la discipline et l'organisation; ces tentatives, chaque fois réprimées dans des torrents de sang, donnèrent à l'oppresseur l'occasion de passer une fois de plus son terrible niveau et de redoubler l'épouvante\n\nPage 11\n\nPage 246",

Les Tonkinois étaient systématiquement exclus de toutes les charges. Réduits au rang d'ilotes, ils ne pouvaient commercer en liberté; leur industrie était gênée par des prohibitions excessives; ils ne purent même plus continuer l'exploitation des mines et des carrières. On ne voulait pas que, de quelque façon que ce fût, ils pussent se relever, montrer l'incontestable supériorité qu'ils ont sur leurs vainqueurs dans les arts et dans l'industrie.\n\nOn laissa cependant aux Tonkinois l'agriculture. C'était pour l'Annam une nécessité absolue, par ce moyen seul il pouvait assurer sa propre subsistance; mais en cela même l'oppresseur ne laissa au malheureux vaincu que ce qu'il ne put pas lui ôter. Les Tonkinois purent et même durent cultiver; mais ils ne récoltaient pas ce qu'ils avaient semé. La plus grosse part était prélevée à titre d'impôt; sur le surplus, on prenait encore une portion à titre de vente forcée; on laissait au malheureux une part mesurée avec parcimonie et le reste, l'Annam le gardait en quelque sorte en réserve dans les greniers du laboureur lui-même, qui ne pouvait le vendre au dedans où la demande manquait et auquel des lois draconiennes défendaient l'exportation.\n\nLes Tonkinois se voyaient ainsi enserrés dans une savante et continuelle persécution, condamnés à travailler pour leurs oppresseurs en assurant leur subsistance ou accablés de corvées pour édifier contre eux-mêmes les moyens de domination. Heureux encore, ces pauvres opprimés, lorsqu'ils ne voyaient pas enlever leurs femmes et leurs filles qu'on allait vendre en Chine pour servir comme esclaves ou pour devenir, enfants encore, les lamentables victimes de la lubricité du maître.\n\nAussi, Messieurs, quels trésors de haine s'étaient accumulés au cœur des opprimés! Et c'est dans cette haine qu'il faut chercher l'une des causes de la merveilleuse et rapide conquête de Garnier.\n\n13\n\nN° 1889\n\nmulés au cœur des opprimés! Et c'est dans cette haine qu'il faut chercher l'une des causes de la merveilleuse et rapide conquête de Garnier.\n\nLorsque ces petites troupes de cinq ou six hommes s'avançaient intrépides sous les ordres de leurs jeunes chefs et sommaient de se rendre des citadelles défendues par deux mille soldats bien pourvus, bien munis, bien armés, cachés derrière de hautes et solides murailles bien bastionnées, et que ces citadelles se rendaient;\n\nLorsqu'à Ninh Binh dix-sept cents hommes vinrent déposer leurs armes aux pieds de l'élève Hautefeuille qu'escortaient deux matelots, n'est-ce pas parce que les Annamites savaient que derrière ces vaillants, il y avait tout un peuple qui les saluait comme des chefs et des libérateurs?\n\nLes mêmes causes existent encore aujourd'hui, et les faits récents prouvent qu'ils doivent produire les mêmes effets.\n\nLes traités de 1874 n'ont en effet pas mis fin à la savante persécution dont nous venons de parler et sous laquelle gémissent les Tonkinois. Aussi ont-ils toujours la même haine implacable, invincible; aussi veulent-ils toujours briser tout lien entre eux et le séculaire oppresseur; aussi, malgré cet affreux souvenir de Philastre, attendent-ils encore de nous leur libération, prêts à se jeter dans nos bras, mais prêts aussi, il faut bien le dire, à se donner à quiconque, à notre défaut, leur promettra la délivrance.\n\nCet état des choses et des esprits au Tonkin est constaté par tous ceux qui ont vu de près, et la presse de toute nationalité en Chine, au Japon et dans toutes ces régions ne se fait pas faute de le reconnaître. «Les Tonkinois sont bien décidément pour la France, dit un journal anglais de Shanghaï, citant son confrère de Hong-kong, les mandarins d'Hué sont cruels et rapaces; les soi-disant libérateurs chinois sont arrivés comme une bande de voleurs, prêts à faire cause commune avec les pirates. Sans contredit, dans ces circonstances, la partie est actuellement gagnée par la France; toute indé-\n\n4\n\n247",

Sans doute, ils préféreraient vivre libres et indépendants, sous le gouvernement de leur dynastie nationale restaurée. Cette restauration étant impossible, ils aiment mieux être affranchis par nous et à notre profit que de rester plus longtemps ployés sous le joug abhorré des Nguyen. La France a la première montré ses couleurs dans les rivières du Delta, et pris la défense des opprimés contre les oppresseurs. Les Tonkinois ne connaissent que la France, et l'appellent de nouveau à leur secours, lui pardonnant de les avoir abandonnés la première fois. Si une autre puissance se fut présentée avant nous, elle aurait les préférences de ces malheureux tyrannisés... Le peuple tonkinois se mettra à genoux devant la nation, quelle qu'elle soit, qui le délivrera du joug annamite. Et, ajoute l'auteur de cet article fort remarquable et très étendu, nous devons être celle-là. »\n\nC'est là l'exacte vérité et l'auteur du projet la connaît bien, lorsqu'il affirme qu'un nouvel abandon du Tonkin serait une véritable abdication dans l'extrême Orient, la déchéance du prestige que nous y avons conquis par l'expédition de 1860.\n\nIl résulte du fidèle exposé de faits qui précède qu'il ne s'agit dans cette affaire ni d'expédition dangereuse, difficile, ruineuse, ni d'aventure, dont on ne peut calculer les conséquences. Comparer le Tonkin au Mexique, à la Tunisie ou même au Cayor, c'est comparer entre elles des situations absolument dissemblables. Là, nous nous sommes trouvés en présence de races bien différentes et dans des conditions qui n'ont rien de comparable; au Mexique, nous allions imposer\n\n· 13 -\n\nN. 1889\n\nà un peuple fier, impatient du joug, à un peuple de notre race, une forme de gouvernement dont il ne voulait pas et le joug d'un prince étranger; en Tunisie, au Cayor même, nous nous sommes trouvés en présence de gouvernements réguliers, auxquels nous voulions enlever une partie au moins de leur indépendance, en imposant un protectorat que nous jugions indispensable pour la sécurité de nos frontières, pour la tranquillité de nos possessions; au Tonkin, nous répondons à l'appel d'un peuple qui soupire après sa délivrance, nous nous présentons à lui non en ennemi mais en libérateur. Nous ne nous trouvons pas au milieu d'une population hostile, mais au milieu d'un peuple qui nous aime et qui nous attend. Ah! certes, la différence est grande! Qu'y a-t-il de commun en effet entre l'expédition qu'on appela la grande pensée du règne et l'énergique rappel fait à un peuple inférieur du respect des traités ?\n\nLe mot expédition prononcé quelquefois définit mal la portée que doit avoir notre action. Ce que nous devons faire aujourd'hui, c'est nous établir solidement au Tong-Kin, affirmer énergiquement notre intention de nous y maintenir, ne plus reculer comme en 1873, abandonnant une population qui avait ensuite tant à souffrir de la sympathie même qu'elle nous avait témoignée.\n\nPour cela il suffit, le projet a raison, de renforcer dans une mesure assez restreinte du reste nos troupes d'occupation.\n\nIII\n\nBut à atteindre\n\nPar les moyens que le Gouvernement vous demande de mettre à sa disposition la question du Tonkin, peut être résolue. Votre Commission est d'avis dès lors qu'il y a lieu d'accepter le projet qui vous est proposé; elle pense que le gouvernement non seulement pourra, mais encore devra assurer une solution définitive.\n\n243",

Ce que nous en avons dit déjà suffirait à démontrer sa richesse, son admirable fertilité. L'industrie des habitants, entravée sans cesse par les prohibitions des Annamites, reprendra bien vite son ancien essor. Le commerce, si réduit aujourd'hui, redeviendra prospère; en exportation, en importation il peut atteindre un chiffre élevé. Le transit du Yunan par le fleuve est presque anihilé, alors qu'autrefois il fut considérable. Il suffit de jeter les yeux sur la carte, pour acquérir la conviction que la voie du fleuve Rouge sera la plus suivie, parce qu'elle est la plus courte et la plus directe. Mais il faut la débarrasser des pirates et des pavillons noirs; il faut supprimer les nombreuses lignes de douanes où des mandarins plus ou moins authentiques, des chefs de bande, des malandrins, des pillards, perçoivent sur les marchandises des droits exorbitants, lorsqu'ils ne s'approprient pas bateaux et marchandises. Le commerce, qui sait toujours trouver son véritable intérêt, reviendra bien vite à la voie la plus avantageuse, lorsqu'elle sera sûre.\n\nLes Anglais ont depuis longtemps compris l'importance de ce trafic. Ils ont cherché par le Brahmapoutre, par l'Iraouaddy, par la Salouen, à pénétrer jusqu'au Yunan. L'obstination britannique s'est heurtée aux obstacles gigantesques opposés à ses entreprises par les immenses contreforts de l'Himalaya, par ces montagnes les plus élevées du globe, où de grands fleuves coulent furieux au fond de précipices insondés, taillés à pic, qui étonnèrent nos compatriotes, lorsque\n\n17\n\nN° 1889\n\nsous les ordres de Doudard de Lagrée, ils explorèrent le cours du Mé-Kong. La vallée secondaire du Méï-nam est bien loin de Yunan-phu et de Tali-phu; c'est bien la vallée du fleuve Rouge qui présente la voie la plus courte, la plus directe et la plus facile. Le fleuve est navigable jusqu'à Mang-hao, c'est-à-dire sur une longueur de quatre cents milles environ.\n\nIl ne peut recevoir, comme le Donnaï ou le Mé-Kong, des vaisseaux de haut bord, mais jusqu'à Sontay, au-dessus de Hanoi, on peut faire remonter, en tous temps, des bateaux calant 1 m. 50 c. Avec ce tirant d'eau, la battellerie peut encore avoir une importance très grande, elle peut suffire à un transit considérable. La navigation sur le Yang-Tsée, de Shanghaï à Han-Kaw se fait dans des conditions semblables et les ferry-boat qui circulent sur le fleuve peuvent encore porter des milliers de tonnes.\n\nLe sous-sol du Tonkin et celui des pays voisins, dont le transit passerait nécessairement par le fleuve Rouge, est riche en mines de toutes sortes. Le plomb, le zinc, l'étain, le cuivre, le nickel, l'argent et l'or se montrent fréquemment; les mines de charbon sont nombreuses et tout dernièrement encore M. Fusch, dont la compétence en ces matières est universellement reconnue, constatait des gisements houillers, d'une grande richesse, 4 à 5 millions de tonnes, d'une exploitation facile, le long du golfe du Tonkin. Notre marine marchande, qui a besoin surtout d'un fret assuré, ne trouverait-elle pas là un élément d'activité qui lui permettrait, dans un avenir prochain, de se montrer dans ces parages aussi nombreuse que la marine anglaise ou allemande?\n\nLa salubrité du Tonkin est incontestable. Placé entre le 20° et le 23° nord, elle est à la limite de la zone tempérée et de la zone torride. On a, dans des publications intéressées, révoqué en doute le récit de ceux qui, ayant habité le Tonkin affirment que l'européen peut y vivre et y travailler, s'y établir à perpétuelle demeure, y faire souche en un mot. La nature confirme ici, par ses productions, les appréciations de ceux qui pensent que le Tonkin convient à notre race. L'été est\n\n240",

Les productions intertropicales s'y rencontrent à côté des fruits et des légumes d'Europe et sur la hauteur le blé et nos autres céréales remplacent le riz que produit la plaine.\n\nC'est à coup sûr un pays privilégié et qui ne le cédera à aucun autre lorsque, par certains travaux, faciles après tout et peu coûteux, on aura assaini complètement les villes et les résidences des Européens. Lorsqu'on songe qu'en Cochinchine, à dix degrés plus au sud, on est parvenu à diminuer la mortalité au point qu'à Saïgon elle ne dépasse pas sensiblement un pour cent parmi les Européens, on comprend qu'au Tonkin on doit pouvoir faire mieux encore, puisque les conditions y sont plus favorables. Au Tonkin, comme en Cochinchine du reste, la fièvre jaune est complètement inconnue et les autres maladies sont puissamment conjurées par la construction de logements aérés, à l'abri de l'humidité du sol, par une nourriture saine, par l'épuration des eaux destinées à l'alimentation, par la propreté des logements et par celle de la voie publique.\n\nCes quelques indications sur la richesse du Tonkin, sur sa situation comme pays de transit, sur ses conditions climatériques devaient ici trouver leur place. Il reste à indiquer que les tribus indépendantes, qui séparent le Tonkin du Laos ou de la Chine, nous ont offert leur alliance, sont désireuses de notre protection.\n\nAssurément, on le voit, notre intérêt est bien de nous assurer dans ce pays un rôle prépondérant. Les Tonkinois y gagneront; ils le désirent et nous y appellent et les nations civilisées, le commerce du monde entier, n'y perdront rien. Nous rendrons ainsi à l'humanité des richesses perdues pour elle, nous ouvrirons vers l'intérieur de la Chine une route courte et facile, nous rendrons à la liberté, à l'indépendance un peuple qui souffre sous l'oppression.\n\nNotre intérêt marche ici d'accord avec notre devoir.\n\n19\n\nN. 1889\n\nIV\n\nNotre situation politique au Tonkin\n\nOn ne saurait contester notre droit d'agir dans ce moment au Tonkin, nous en avons même le devoir.\n\nLa confiance qu'ont placée en nous les Tonkinois, l'empressement qu'ils ont mis à se rallier à nous, nous impose à leur égard le devoir général de les secourir et de les protéger. La suppression de la traite des noirs est considérée par les nations civilisées comme un devoir d'humanité, nous devons de même empêcher cette horrible traite de femmes et d'enfants que font, au préjudice des malheureux Tonkinois, les Annamites et les Chinois et que M. de Vilers signalait au ministre dans un rapport qui a été tu à la Chambre.\n\nMais à côté de ces devoirs d'un ordre général il en est de plus stricts, de mieux définis, de plus déterminés, qui découlent d'engagements internationaux.\n\nLe but que nous nous proposions d'atteindre par les traités de 1874 était multiple; mais, après avoir scrupuleusement tenu tous les engagements que nous avions pris, nous avons été déçus dans nos espérances. La duplicité annamite a su éluder les dispositions qui entravaient un gouvernement tyrannique. La force d'inertie quelquefois, souvent aussi la violation audacieuse et formelle des engagements pris, sont venus rendre vains tous les calculs d'une diplomatie trop confiante. Une revue rapide des stipulations contenues dans les traités démontre ces vérités et établit notre intérêt à sortir de la situation actuelle.\n\nCe que nous avions promis nous l'avons exécuté. Nous avons livré à l'Annam cinq bâtiments à vapeur en parfait état, remplissant les conditions prévues au traité, nous lui avons livré cent canons, approvisionnés à deux cents coups par pièces, mille fusils à tabatières et cinq cent mille cartouches.\n\n250\n\n1",

Nous avons fait remise des six millions qui restaient dus sur l'indemnité de guerre; nous avons fondé à Saïgon cette école où devaient s'instruire de jeunes annamites, envoyés par la cour d'Hué; nous avons constamment tenu à la disposition du roi Tu-Duc, ces officiers de terre et de mer, ces ingénieurs, ces chefs d'ateliers; ces hommes experts en matière de finances, ces professeurs, etc. dont il est question dans l'art. 4. En un mot nous n'avons failli à aucune des obligations que nous avons contractées.\n\nL'Annam au contraire s'est fait un jeu de ses engagements.\n\nNous avions proclamé et reconnu son entière indépendance vis-à-vis de toute puissance étrangère quelle qu'elle soit, voulant par cette clause le dégager de tous liens de vassalité vis-à-vis de tous. Et mainte fois depuis, l'Annam, dans un but hostile à la France, a fait acte de vassal vis-à-vis de l'empereur de Chine. Dès 1875, les journaux de Saïgon signalaient cette violation du traité, et hier encore des envoyés du roi Tu-Duc demandaient au fils du Ciel l'autorisation d'exécuter la stipulation relative à l'ouverture du fleuve Rouge. C'est à la Chine encore que s'est adressé le gouvernement annamite pour demander protection contre les ennemis du dehors, aide et assistance contre ceux du dedans, alors que c'est à nous seuls qu'il eût dû s'adresser. Il vient d'aller plus loin encore, il a commis des actes équivalents à une véritable hostilité en demandant, tout récemment, au vice-roi de Canton des soldats pour nous combattre, en recevant, comme des alliés, ces bandits qui lui étaient envoyés pour débarrasser les prisons de Canton. D'ailleurs, depuis longues années, n'a-t-il pas pris à sa solde ces bandes de pillards, qui sous le nom de pavillons noirs entravent la circulation du fleuve, rançonnent le commerce et pillent la contrée? N'a-t-il pas donné au chef de ces malandrins le titre de mandarin? N'a-t-il pas livré à ces voleurs, comme place de refuge, l'importante ville de Lao-Kay et sa citadelle?\n\n21\n\nLe roi d'Annam, abdiquant en nos mains une portion de sa souveraineté, a promis de conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de la France. Cet engagement n'est-il pas violé par ses agissements avec la Chine?\n\nEn parcourant le traité politique et la convention commerciale qui y fait suite, et qui, est-il stipulé, a la même force que le traité principal lui-même, il est facile de se convaincre que nos préoccupations essentielles, en dehors des clauses dont il vient d'être parlé, se portaient sur les points suivants:\n\nNous voulions protéger les Tonkinois; les art. 2, 8, 9 du traité, l'art. 2 de la convention additionnelle, n'ont pas d'autre but. Au lieu de nous appeler à détruire la piraterie, l'Annam, nous venons de le voir, l'a encouragée et soudoyée. Jamais il n'a exécuté entièrement les clauses des art. 8 et 9 relatifs à l'amnistie, au libre exercice de la religion catholique, à la restitution de biens confisqués, jamais non plus il n'a exécuté loyalement l'art. 2 de la convention.\n\nNous voulions mettre de l'ordre dans les douanes, en rendre ainsi le revenu plus considérable, tout en rendant les droits moins onéreux au commerce. Ce n'est un mystère pour personne que les mandarins annamites ont favorisé la fraude sur une vaste échelle; qu'ils ont exigé quelquefois ou tout au moins permis qu'il fût établi, contrairement au traité, plusieurs lignes de douane et exigé des droits plus élevés que ceux légitimement dus.\n\nUne stipulation principale était l'ouverture du fleuve Rouge au commerce du monde. Là, comme dans les ports ouverts, nous voulions protéger le commerce sans distinction de nationalité et pour cela nous voulions détruire la piraterie aussi bien dans les fleuves que sur les côtes. Cette partie des traités contient des obligations réciproques, elle nous crée des droits, mais elle nous crée aussi des devoirs non seulement vis-à-vis de l'Annam, mais encore vis-à-vis des tiers eux-mêmes.\n\nNous avons évidemment le droit d'exiger l'ouverture du\n\n251",

L'art. 28 de la convention porte : « Le gouvernement français renouvelle la promesse faite au gouvernement annamite, à l'art. 2 du traité du 15 mars, de faire tous ses efforts pour détruire les pirates de terre et de mer, particulièrement dans le voisinage des villes et des ports ouverts au commerce européen, de façon à rendre les opérations du commerce aussi sûres que possible. » Ce devoir que nous assumons, nos voisins de Hong-Kong et de Shanghaï, les commerçants anglais, allemands, espagnols, nous l'ont souvent rappelé. Le Daily-News, dont nous avons eu déjà occasion de citer quelques passages, rappelle à la France qu'elle n'est pas la seule puissance ayant des intérêts au Tonkin; cette remarque est grave venant d'un journal anglais, elle contient presque une mise en demeure d'agir, si nous ne voulons pas que d'autres viennent agir à notre place et profiter des sacrifices que nous avons déjà faits.\n\nIl va de soi que l'Annam, vis-à-vis duquel nous avons stipulé d'une manière plus spéciale, doit nous faciliter l'accomplissement de la mission que nous avons acceptée. Au lieu de ces facilités qu'il nous doit, il nous apporte des entraves, il fait ouvertement cause commune avec ces pirates que nous avons promis de détruire. Cette mauvaise foi de l'Annam nous délie vis-à-vis de lui, c'est certain, mais elle ne peut avoir pour effet de faire disparaître notre droit, pas plus que de nous délier vis-à-vis du commerce du monde. Il demeure certain que nous avons le droit et le devoir d'agir pour assurer la protection de nos nationaux et celle que nous avons promise au commerce en général.\n\nEt ainsi se justifie pleinement notre action au Tonkin.\n\n23\n\nN° 1889\n\nV.\n\nMoyens à employer.\n\nLes moyens que nous avons employés sont de deux sortes; le Gouvernement le prévoit avec raison, il y a en effet ceux qu'on peut appeler moyens militaires et les moyens civils; le projet qui vous est soumis les distingue.\n\nAu point de vue militaire, le Gouvernement estime qu'il y a lieu de porter à 3.000 hommes de troupes métropolitaines le corps d'occupation et d'y joindre 1.000 tirailleurs Annamites. Ces chiffres sont depuis longtemps ceux qui ont été indiqués par les personnes qui se sont le plus occupées de la question et qui sont le mieux en situation de la connaître. Il a paru à votre Commission qu'ils étaient suffisants et que d'autre part ils n'avaient rien d'exagéré. Nous devons compter sur la solidité et la fidélité des tirailleurs Annamites, qu'on aura soin du reste d'opposer non à leurs anciens compatriotes, mais aux pavillons noirs et autres bandes chinoises. Soutenus par quelques troupes françaises et commandées d'ailleurs par des officiers et des sous-officiers français, ces tirailleurs formeront une excellente troupe. Vous savez, Messieurs, que le Gouvernement estime qu'il suffit pour compléter l'effectif qu'il juge nécessaire d'envoyer encore 1,500 hommes. Sur la demande de la Commission, M. le Ministre de la Marine a fait savoir que cet effectif ne serait pas dépassé, en comptant les troupes de toutes armes, c'est-à-dire l'infanterie et l'artillerie de marine.\n\nEn ce qui concerne les forces navales les prévisions paraissent à la Commission largement suffisantes.\n\nPour compléter les mesures militaires et si cela paraît quelque peu utile, le représentant de la France pourrait accepter les services des tribus indépendantes, et leur accorder le protectorat qu'elles ont plusieurs fois demandé.\n\n252",

La politique d'Hué sera d'éviter toute résistance, sauf à rêver d'un retour offensif, sauf aussi essayer de fomenter plus tard des troubles autour de nous. C'est pour lui enlever toute espérance qu'il est bon de renforcer le corps d'occupation et de maintenir sur le fleuve une police active. Notre premier soin devra être au surplus de former des milices Tonkinoises, qu'on recrutera facilement soit au moyen d'engagements volontaires, soit en les recrutant comme se recrutent les milices en Cochinchine. L'élève Hautefeuille avait réussi en bien peu de temps à former ces milices, auxquelles on pourra confier plus tard la défense de leurs pays et qui pourront, en attendant, être d'un grand secours, en nous permettant de diminuer rapidement nos effectifs.\n\nLe Gouvernement déclare dans le projet qu'il se propose de confier la haute administration à un commissaire général civil... C'est bien connaître l'esprit de ces peuples qui accordent aux fonctionnaires civils un respect qu'ils ne donnent jamais aussi complètement aux mandarins militaires. La Commission a fait connaître à M. le Ministre des Affaires étrangères que cette partie du programme avait son adhésion, elle a recueilli avec satisfaction l'assurance qui lui a été donnée qu'il n'y serait pas dérogé.\n\nPrenant acte de cette déclaration, la Commission a cru devoir en faire un article spécial du projet de loi. M. le Ministre des Affaires étrangères est chargé du choix de ce fonctionnaire qui, dans la pensée de la Commission, ne saurait être nommé trop rapidement.\n\n25\n\nN. 1889\n\nSous la haute protection de la France et par les conseils de ce fonctionnaire élevé, auquel seront adjoints, s'il le faut, quelques collaborateurs, les Tonkinois pourront être appelés à s'administrer eux-mêmes, et être substitués aux mandarins annamites le plus rapidement possible.\n\nCette organisation tentée par M. Hautefeuille avait bien réussi pour le jeune officier et nul doute qu'elle n'eût donné de bons résultats si l'œuvre de Garnier avait été continuée. En Cochinchine, on n'a pas procédé autrement (et c'était un pays conquis); la circulaire de M. Chasseloup-Laubat disait en effet, « que les fonctionnaires annamites étaient maintenus et devaient continuer à agir sous la haute surveillance des fonctionnaires français. »\n\nL'administration du Tonkin devra, il est inutile de le dire, être indépendante de celle de la Cochinchine; mais il sera bon, au point de vue de l'unité de l'action française, de conserver au gouverneur de la Cochinchine la situation qu'il a eue jusqu'à ce jour auprès du roi d'Annam.\n\nLes impôts au Tonkin pourront s'élever de 80 à 100 millions, si on prend pour base la Cochinchine. On n'atteindra pas tout de suite ce chiffre élevé, qui ne paraît du reste pas nécessaire. Les revenus, régulièrement perçus par des fonctionnaires suffisamment rétribués, iront au Trésor et ne se perdront pas en route. La douane qui rapporte actuellement 1 million, rendra plus du double, lorsqu'on aura supprimé les fraudes nombreuses commises ou favorisées par les mandarins, lorsque la sécurité des ports et du fleuve, lorsque la liberté du commerce, auront multiplié les échanges, le trafic, et amené dans le commerce une augmentation de mouvement, évaluée par un de nos consuls, à plus de 250 millions par an. Il est dès lors vrai de dire que le crédit demandé par le Gouvernement n'est qu'une avance dont on sera remboursé à brève échéance. Le gouvernement de Cochinchine est bien placé assurément pour juger de la valeur de cette appréciation; le conseil colonial n'a pas hésité à sortir de sa caisse de réserve une somme de 4 millions pour payer à l'Espagne ce qui restait dû à cette puissance de l'indemnité de guerre, prévue au traité de 1862. Il a accepté de se rembourser par la\n\n253",

La Commission ne pouvait s'abstenir d'examiner ce côté de la question. Les explications reçues de divers côtés et surtout les renseignements fournis par M. le Ministre des Affaires étrangères, nous ont conduit à réduire toutes ces appréhensions à leur juste valeur.\n\nDu côté de l'Annam, il n'y a certainement rien à craindre, la Commission en est convaincue. Déjà probablement il a cessé toute résistance. Que peut-il en effet? Le passé répond, c'est le cas de le dire, du présent et de l'avenir. Vers 1865 et 1866, les mandarins suscitaient la révolte dans nos possessions et mettaient la plus insigne mauvaise volonté dans le règlement de l'indemnité de guerre ; l'amiral de la Grandière, alors gouverneur, comprit bien vite qu'il n'aurait la paix que lorsqu'il aurait enlevé aux Annamites les trois provinces d'Hatien, Chaudoc et Vinh-long, à l'aide desquelles Hué nous tenait enclavés et nous entourait de conspirations suscitées tout autour de nous. Ces trois provinces étaient populeuses, il y avait plus de dix mille soldats de Hué, les citadelles étaient construites d'après le système Vauban. Il suffit d'une démonstration et tout se rendit; de notre côté, il fut tiré un coup de feu, pas deux, et on critiqua alors vivement en Cochinchine cet acte, qui fut qualifié de violence inutile. Les choses se passeront à peu\n\n27\n\nN° 1889\n\nprès de même, on peut en être assuré, et notre position sera telle que l'Annam devra même s'interdire ces menées sourdes dont il a usé quelquefois. L'énergie suffit avec Hué, M. Le Myre de Vilers l'a bien démontré. Que pourra-t-il en effet, entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin, d'où il tire sa subsistance, entre la mer où il nous trouverait et les montagnes où se sont retirés ses mortels ennemis, les anciens Ciam-pois, la race autochthone, qu'il chassa autrefois du pays des ancêtres ?...\n\nOn a parlé de la Chine. Les traités de 1874 ont rejeté et pour toujours ses prétentions à une suzeraineté, que l'Annam n'a fait revivre que pour nous combattre. «Il est temps, disait, il y a peu, le Daily New de Hong-Kong, il est temps que la question de la suzeraineté de la Chine sur ces provinces extérieures à ses frontières soit réglée une fois pour toutes. Les gouvernements étrangers ne peuvent pas être arrêtés par cette prétention monstrueuse, véritable anachronisme... » La Chine n'a pas à intervenir dans des affaires qui ne la regardent pas et, comme l'observe le journal anglais, elle ferait mieux de maintenir l'ordre sur ses propres frontières. La Chine de 1883 ne diffère pas du reste de la Chine de 1839 et ceux-là seuls qui ne la connaissent pas peuvent redouter quelque chose de ce côté. Elle a bien assez à faire sur ses frontières russes, en Corée ou au Japon.\n\nLes nations européennes ne nous sont pas hostiles, elles n'ont aucun intérêt à l'être. En Cochinchine, leurs navires, leurs nationaux, leurs produits, sont admis sur le même pied que les nôtres. Il en est de même au Tonkin, elles le savent bien et elles en profitent. Dans les traités de 1874, les stipulations relatives au commerce sont toutes faites en faveur des navires, des commerçants de toute nationalité. Elles n'ont aucun intérêt à gêner notre action. Si quelques esprits inquiets en Angleterre nous regardent d'un œil jaloux, il faut bien reconnaître que les Anglais de l'extrême-orient tiennent un autre langage, et on peut ajouter que le gouverne-\n\n254",

Notre protection au Tonkin est acquise à tous; et l'Angleterre et l'Allemagne ont pu se convaincre, par de récents exemples, que nous savions la donner avec impartialité et avec cette ampleur, qu'il est bon d'apporter au règlement des affaires dans lesquelles des sujets européens sont victimes des violences ou des exactions des gouvernements inférieurs. L'Espagne a accepté le traité de 1874 de la façon la plus indéniable. C'est à Saigon, en effet, c'est du trésor français qu'elle a reçu payement de l'indemnité de guerre qui lui était due; c'est au Trésor français qu'elle a donné reçu, acceptant ainsi, en les exécutant, les clauses du traité de 1874. Nous avons eu soin du reste, dans ces traités, de stipuler expressément en faveur de l'Espagne et de ces missionnaires, elle a donc complète satisfaction.\n\nLa politique française au Tonkin étant plus résolue, les puissances européennes n'auront qu'à s'en féliciter, loin de pouvoir s'en plaindre.

Messieurs, le projet d'expédition au Tonkin a été accueilli dans les bureaux de la Chambre avec une telle faveur qu'il est difficile de le combattre efficacement ici et qu'il peut paraître même inutile de le discuter.\n\nLa commission est unanime; le Gouvernement, dans son exposé des motifs, ne prévoit aucune difficulté; et le rapport, qui est un morceau de politique lyrique, ne connaît aucun obstacle.\n\nCe patriotisme, peut-être irréfléchi, n'a rien d'ailleurs qui puisse surprendre; on sait que les promoteurs et les partisans de l'entreprise ne l'envisagent et ne la font envisager que par ses côtés avantageux. On célèbre, comme le fait le rapport, l'accueil amical et presque enthousiaste que nous devons rencontrer auprès de la population du Tonkin; on fait valoir la douceur du climat, éminemment propice à la colonisation, l'admirable fertilité du sol, la variété de ses produits, l'abondance et la richesse des mines et, plus que tout le reste, la possession du fleuve Rouge, cette artère admirable, dit-on, qui doit permettre au commerce français de pénétrer jusqu'au cœur de la Chine et de répandre sur la France ses trésors jusqu'ici inexploités.\n\nM. le président. Ces projets de loi seront imprimés, distribués et, s'il n'y a pas d'opposition, renvoyés à la commission de l'armée.\n\nJ'ai reçu de M. le ministre de l'intérieur: 1° un projet de loi tendant à autoriser le département de la Dordogne à contracter un emprunt pour le service des bâtiments départementaux; 2° un projet de loi tendant à autoriser le département de la Creuse à contracter un emprunt pour la construction d'une école normale d'instituteurs; 3° un projet de loi tendant à établir d'office sur la commune de Châtillon (Haute-Savoie) une imposition extraordinaire.\n\nLes projets de loi seront imprimés, distribués et renvoyés à la commission d'intérêt local.\n\nRETRAIT DE PROJETS DE LOI\n\nM. le président. J'ai reçu de M. le ministre des finances et de M. le ministre de la guerre deux décrets de M. le Président de la République par lesquels sont retirés :\n\n1° le projet de loi présenté à la Chambre, le 21 novembre 1882, et relatif à l'organisation de l'artillerie de forteresse;\n\n2° le projet de loi relatif à l'avancement dans l'armée.\n\nJ'ai également reçu de M. le ministre de l'intérieur un décret de M. le Président de la République portant retrait du projet de loi n° 1487, concernant la ville de Cherbourg (Manche).\n\nActe est donné de ces décrets qui seront insérés au procès-verbal de la séance et déposés aux archives.\n\nDÉPÔT D'UNE PROPOSITION DE LOI\n\nM. le président. J'ai reçu de M. Versigny une proposition de loi tendant au dégrèvement des propriétés non bâties et à la transformation de l'impôt de répartition des propriétés bâties en impôt de quotité.\n\nM. Versigny demande le renvoi de sa proposition de loi à la commission du budget.\n\nIl n'y a pas d'opposition?\n\nCette proposition de loi sera imprimée, distribuée et renvoyée à ladite commission.\n\nDISCUSSION D'UN PROJET DE LOI PORTANT OUVERTURE D'UN CRÉDIT SUPPLÉMENTAIRE POUR LE SERVICE DU TONKIN\n\nM. le président. L'ordre du jour appelle la discussion du projet de loi portant ouverture au ministre de la marine et des colonies, sur l'exercice 1883, d'un crédit supplémentaire pour le service du Tonkin.\n\nC'est un rôle ingrat, messieurs, que de vous contraindre à considérer aujourd'hui, ne fût-ce que pendant quelques instants, l'envers de cet attrayant tableau; et ce rôle, je m'excuse presque de l'avoir choisi. Cependant, si c'est un dessein patriotique que de vouloir ouvrir à l'activité nationale ce champ nouveau qui est immense et que l'on dit appelé à devenir merveilleusement fécond, j'espère, messieurs, que vous voudrez bien reconnaître qu'il n'est ni moins utile ni moins louable, ni moins patriotique d'étudier ici les chances de l'entreprise, d'élucider les obscurités qui l'accompagnent, de peser les inconvénients et les dangers qui peuvent s'en suivre et, par un examen approfondi, de mettre la Chambre en mesure d'asseoir la résolution qu'elle doit prendre sur les notions les plus claires, les plus solides et les plus complètes. (Très bien à droite.)\n\nC'est là, messieurs, l'objet de la discussion qui s'ouvre en ce moment; je tiens à déclarer que ce n'est pas un parti pris d'opposition qui m'amène à la tribune: je ne suis pas hostile en principe et par système à une action de la France au Tonkin; je demande seulement à la connaître; je demande au Gouvernement de définir, de préciser, de limiter surtout l'œuvre qu'il entreprend et qu'il nous demande de sanctionner. Je lui demande de nous donner, contre les accidents prévus et les conséquences aventureuses, les garanties que nous sommes en droit d'exiger et que, pour ma part, je n'ai trouvées ni dans l'exposé des motifs du projet, ni dans le rapport de la commission. (Très bien à droite.)\n\nNous ne sommes que trop fondés à réclamer du Gouvernement cette précision et cette netteté, car, à l'heure où je parle, où je discute le projet d'intervention qui nous est soumis, je n'en sais pas plus sur le caractère, sur les conséquences éventuelles de l'entreprise que vous n'en saviez vous-mêmes sur les suites de l'expédition tunisienne (Très bien, très bien à droite), lorsqu'on vint réclamer de vous un premier crédit contre les Kroumirs.\n\nCe n'est pas sans raison que je parle ici de la Tunisie. Il y a entre les deux affaires des rapprochements qui s'imposent inévitablement, et je trouve que la politique actuelle du Gouvernement porte la marque de la même imprévoyance, je n'ose pas dire de la même dissimulation (Très bien, très bien à droite), mais tout au moins des mêmes réticences, et je n'ai voulu d'autre preuve que la différence notable...\n\nPage 256\n\n...\n\nPage 256",

Messieurs, il y a, au seuil de ce projet, un point qui me paraît être en dehors de toute contestation: c'est que le maintien du statu quo au Tonkin est impossible, c'est que le traité passé en 1874 entre l'Annam et la France est aujourd'hui lettre morte, c'est que la situation de la France au Tonkin est devenue absolument intolérable, et que, si nous ne répondons pas à la politique cauteleuse et hostile de l'Annam par une démonstration vigoureuse, par un acte de force, c'en est fait, non-seulement de notre situation au Tonkin, mais de toute l'influence française dans l'extrême Orient (Assentiment à droite.) Il y a donc nécessité, selon moi, il y a même urgence à faire quelque chose. Mais après avoir décidé qu'on fera quelque chose, il s'agit de savoir, il s'agit de définir ce que l'on fera. (Très bien ! à droite.)\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nQuel est le caractère du protectorat? C'est, | commission qui est composée d'hommes distingués, choisis tout exprès dans les bureaux comme une élite.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse.

J'estime, messieurs, que c'est une mortelle imprudence pour un pays dans la situation du nôtre de répandre ainsi ses forces militaires aux quatre vents; car en cas de conflit, non seulement nous diminuons d'autant nos ressources continentales; mais nous offrons un champ plus large aux coups de l'ennemi.\n\nLa France, messieurs, je puis bien le répéter...\n\nIl me reste une dernière question, et c'est la plus grave, à mon avis.

Mais on dit que la France est isolée, et j'ai entendu M. le ministre des affaires étrangères, après avoir reconnu cet isolement, déclarer qu'il nous imposait la plus extrême vigilance.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères a raison de penser et de parler ainsi; mais qu'il me permette de lui dire que la vigilance n'est pas la seule obligation que l'isolement nous commande; il nous impose aussi la concentration de nos forces.\n\n...\n\n(remainder of text continues in this format)",

Blancsuba a fait justice en deux lignes du fantôme chinois. Voici comment il s'exprime:\n\nLa Chine n'a pas à intervenir dans les affaires qui ne la regardent pas. Elle ferait mieux de maintenir l'ordre sur ses propres frontières. C'est tout! (On rit.)\n\nIl y a deux ans, j'avais posé la même question à M. le président du conseil, qui était alors M. Jules Ferry, comme aujourd'hui, et M. le président du conseil me répondit, non pas dans les mêmes termes, mais à peu près dans le même sens que M. Blancsubé. J'espère que sa diplomatie est un peu moins sommaire aujourd'hui, et je lui demande de vouloir bien nous dire quelles précautions il a prises, quelles garanties il peut nous offrir contre l'éventualité du danger que je viens de signaler. (Très bien à droite.)\n\nJe pourrais citer de nombreux faits, qui prouvent que la Chine suit d'un œil jaloux et presque hostile ce que nous faisons au Tonkin. Je pourrais parler des agressions qui ont eu lieu en mars dernier contre notre corps d'occupation, et de certaines concentrations de troupes qui se font aujourd'hui aux frontières de Tonkin; mais je ne retiendrai qu'un incident, parce qu'il a une importance particulière en cette question: je veux parler, messieurs, de la disgrâce de Bourée.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. C'est précisément parce que l'armée chinoise d'aujourd'hui n'est pas l'armée chinoise de 1860, que je fais cette objection. Je sais bien que l'organisation militaire de la Chine est toujours défectueuse; je sais que son immense armée n'est aussi qu'une immense cohue, mais il est certain et vous ne devez pas l'ignorer, et le Gouvernement doit l'ignorer moins que personne, cette cohue il y a des troupes d'élite, organisées, disciplinées à l'européenne, armées de fusils à tir rapide, de canons européens, et dirigées par des instructeurs européens.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\ndisposition toute la région minière, M. Paul Bert, les armes ont changé, mais les soldats sont les mêmes.\n\nJe crois, messieurs, qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'insister sur cette question; il suffit de l'indiquer. Mais il est entendu que la Chine possède aujourd'hui des forces suffisantes pour susciter à la France les plus graves difficultés.\n\nVous ferez, messieurs, à ces considérations la part qu'il vous plaira dans le vote que vous allez émettre. Je me contente de dire que depuis longtemps vous n'aurez pas pris de résolution de plus grave conséquence. (Très bien à droite.)\n\nTelles sont, messieurs, les observations que j'avais à faire. Je n'ai pas la prétention d'avoir triomphé par ces critiques de la confiance que vous pouvez avoir dans l'expédition, mais le seul but que je voulais atteindre, c'était d'amener le Gouvernement à préciser, à définir, à limiter, comme je l'ai dit en commençant, l'œuvre à laquelle il nous convie.\n\nVous avez appris que notre agent diplomatique à Pékin, M. Bourée, a été rappelé ou disgracié, j'ignore encore quel est le genre de disgrâce qui l'a frappé - parce qu'il avait signé avec le gouvernement chinois un traité ad referendum dont le cabinet actuel n'a pas cru devoir ratifier les stipulations.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je vais vous le dire. J'en parle pour deux raisons d'abord parce que je pense qu'à la veille d'une expédition qui peut entraîner un conflit avec la Chine, nous avons besoin d'être édifiés sur le caractère de ce traité, sur ses dispositions, sur les raisons qu'a eues M. Bourée de le signer, et le Gouvernement de le désavouer.\n\nJe sais bien qu'une chance de guerre avec la Chine n'épouvante pas tout le monde ici. Il ne manque pas de gens en France, dans le Parlement et dans la presse, qui se contentent de hausser les épaules lorsqu'on leur parle de l'éventualité d'une guerre avec la Chine.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nM. Challemel-Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères. Messieurs, l'honorable orateur qui descend de cette tribune m'a ouvert un champ que je n'ai nullement l'intention de parcourir, quant à présent, dans toute son étendue. Les préoccupations qu'il a manifestées, fort naturelles en elles-mêmes, méritent assurément d'être prises en considération, encore qu'elles soient peut-être un peu exagérées dans leur intention assez claire de prendre le Gouvernement en faute ou d'ignorance ou d'imprévoyance.\n\nJ'y réponds immédiatement, messieurs, en vous disant que les faits et les indices dont M. Delafosse s'alarme ne nous paraissent pas à l'heure qu'il est de nature à causer de bien sérieuses inquiétudes.\n\nLa Chine, messieurs, est un vaste empire qui couvre une immense superficie, qui comprend une population innombrable, mais qui, par le principe même de sa civilisation, lequel place au dernier rang le métier des armes...\n\nM. le comte de Douville-Maillefeu. C'est cela!\n\nC'est, messieurs, le 29 décembre que, par un télégramme assez court, la nature des négociations dans lesquelles cet agent se trouvait engagé, a été portée pour la première fois à la connaissance du Gouvernement. Il indiquait, en quelques mots, les conditions: ouverture du Yunnan, par la Chine, au commerce européen; reconnaissance de notre protectorat sur le Tonkin moyennant une délimitation nouvelle de la frontière; garantie réciproque de l'ordre de choses ainsi établi.\n\nTout cela était, ou du moins nous a paru illusoire et dangereux; on croyait avoir assuré la paix, on avait créé une source de conflits et de guerres.\n\nAussi lorsque ces conditions transpirèrent, elles produisirent aussitôt dans tout l'Orient une impression, dont le contre-coup se fit promptement sentir au Tonkin et en Cochinchine. On se demanda, et le département de la marine, interprète de l'opinion de nos nationaux et des étrangers, nous fit part de cette impression, on se demanda si la France ne se préparait pas à une nouvelle retraite plus désastreuse que la première.\n\nJe dois déclarer que le Gouvernement n'hésita pas un moment; il comprit qu'il lui était impossible de sanctionner de semblables conditions, d'entrer dans une pareille politique, et qu'il devait le signifier par acte d'un caractère incontestable. Notre agent en Chine fut rappelé.\n\nIl se peut, messieurs, qu'un fonctionnaire de mérite, qu'un agent intelligent se trompe ou soit trompé; il peut s'abuser par des motifs qui font honneur à son patriotisme; mais il peut arriver aussi qu'une telle erreur le rende impossible dans le poste qu'il occupait, et incapable de servir utilement une politique et des idées dont il s'est gravement écarté.\n\nCes conditions n'avaient rien qui fût de nature à contrarier les desseins dont le gouvernement poursuivait dès lors la réalisation. L'ouverture du Yunnan par la Chine au commerce européen pouvait être considérée comme un succès; la reconnaissance de notre protectorat sur le Tonkin, encore qu'il n'y eût aucune raison de la demander au, pouvait néanmoins être envisagée comme un avantage, à condition que cette reconnaissance eût pour effet de couper court à l'envoi des bandes chinoises dans le Tonkin; une rectification de frontières pouvait être commandée par la géographie et mériter, dans tous les cas, considération.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n203\n\n16 Mai\n\n{CHAMBRE}\n\n937\n\ndes rapports que nous pouvions tolérer autrefois, mais qu'à l'heure actuelle et en présence des prétentions de la Chine, des dispositions de l'Annam lui-même, il nous est impossible de supporter. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nLa Chine a un autre rêve, moins vague, moins héroïque, mais non moins chimérique: c'est d'avoir un droit de suzeraineté sur tous les peuples de race jaune qui l'entourent, qu'elle a dominés à une époque quelconque de son histoire, qu'elle a vaincus, sur le Siam, sur la Corée, sur la Birmanie, sur l'Annam, sur le Tonkin, sur le Thibet.\n\nCes prétentions, messieurs, elles sont peut-être pour la Chine un moyen de gouvernement et, à ce titre-là, nous ne songeons pas à nous en alarmer. Nous espérons, nous persistons à espérer que la Chine résistera sagement à des excitations dont l'origine est connue et dont vous avez pu trouver récemment l'écho dans les avertissements suspects, dans les sombres prophéties qui remplissent les journaux de plus d'un pays.\n\nDepuis le commencement du quinzième siècle, l'Annam et le Tonkin se sont soustraits à l'autorité de la Chine, de telle sorte que le droit de suzeraineté qu'elle s'arroge sur ce pays ressemble, ou peu s'en faut, à celui que l'Angleterre pourrait s'arroger sur la France en invoquant les souvenirs de la guerre de Cent ans.\n\nM. le baron Reille. Cela n'a aucun rapport avec la question!\n\nM. le ministre. Mais je ne fais, messieurs, qu'une simple analogie qui peut être erronée, mais si cette analogie vous paraît fausse et vous touche peu, j'aurai l'honneur de vous présenter d'autres arguments.\n\nVoix à droite. Cela vaudra mieux!\n\nUn membre à droite. Parlez-nous plutôt de la doctrine de Monroe.\n\nM. le ministre. Messieurs, puisqu'il le faut, j'entrerai dans le détail et je demanderai si l'on croit que les cadeaux que l'empereur d'Annam, car c'est le titre qu'il se donne, envoie non pas à l'empereur de la Chine, mais au Fils du ciel, qui sont reçus non pas par le ministère des affaires étrangères, au Tsong-ly-Yamen, mais par le ministère des rites, et auxquels l'empereur de la Chine répond par d'autres présents plus considérables, vous paraissent une démonstration suffisante de rapports de suzeraineté et de vassalité qui existeraient entre les deux pays, ou bien si ce n'est pas simplement un signe de courtoisie, un hommage intéressé rendu par le faible au fort qu'il veut se concilier, ou dont quelquefois il veut se faire un auxiliaire contre un autre ennemi.\n\nPour toutes ces raisons, M. Duclerc a donné un assentiment, d'ailleurs fort réservé, aux conditions qui lui étaient soumises. Par malheur, les indications sommaires du télégramme n'étaient pas suffisantes pour lui donner une idée exacte de la nature des négociations dans lesquelles notre agent se trouvait engagé.\n\nIl faut que vous sachiez quelles sont les prétentions du gouvernement chinois. Tout peuple, tout grand empire a son rêve, fort de son action, souvent le principe de sa grandeur. Le rêve de la Chine, c'est d'être en possession d'un droit de suzeraineté sur tous les peuples de race jaune qui l'entourent.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. C'est une posture héroïque, dira M. le président du conseil...\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. ...ne sera jamais une puissance militaire.\n\nNous ne pensons pas que les prétentions qu'elle a élevées et qui vous sont connues aient un caractère purement platonique.\n\nCes affirmations reposent aussi sur certains aveux d'un diplomate éclairé, avec lequel nous avons été, ou plutôt mes prédécesseurs ont été amenés à interrompre momentanément toute communication - le marquis de Tseng, qui reconnaissait un jour que les Pavillons noirs étaient à la solde du roi de Thaï-Dac, mais que la Chine ne voulait pas s'en émouvoir et ne songeait pas à s'en plaindre pour ne pas se brouiller avec ce prince.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, la puissance militaire du suzerain qui s'étonne et qui tremble devant le vassal, devant un vassal dont nous avons eu l'occasion d'apprécier, dont nous connaissons par expérience les forces militaires.\n\nMessieurs, je n'insiste pas sur ces courtes observations qui suffiront peut-être pour rassurer, dans une certaine mesure du moins, le patriotisme alarmé de M. Delafosse.\n\nNous ne pensons pas que la Chine songe à intervenir dans les affaires du Tonkin, parce qu'elle n'y a point d'intérêt. Son véritable intérêt, à l'heure qu'il est, et elle ne l'ignore pas, c'est de vivre avec nous en bons termes, c'est que le Tonkin ne soit pas un refuge toujours ouvert aux perturbateurs, aux aventuriers qui pullulent dans les provinces toujours agitées du midi de la Chine, dans le Kouang-Si, dans le Yunnan, qui se ressent encore de cette insurrection mahométane qui ne s'est terminée qu'il y a quelques années.\n\n(Rumeurs à gauche); ce n'est pas d'une bonne raison que M. Blancsubé prétend que la Chine d'aujourd'hui n'est pas du tout la Chine de 1860.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Sans doute, les Chinois sont toujours des Chinois... (On rit.)\n\nUn membre à droite. Mais les armes sont-elles les mêmes?..\n\nMessieurs, le rappel de M. Bourée, notre agent à Pékin, a été motivé par les conditions qu'il avait acceptées et qui nous mettaient en voisinage trop direct avec la Chine. Il n'était plus question de reconnaître notre protectorat sur le Tonkin, il s'agissait de le partager.\n\nEt puis, messieurs, qu'est-ce que cette suzeraineté intermittente, qui sommeille, qui se réveille selon l'occasion? Nous avons pris possession de la Cochinchine, qui faisait partie de l'Annam, pour avoir pris possession de six provinces; la Chine n'a rien dit. Nous avons fait acte de guerre en Corée, la Chine n'a rien dit; nous lui avons notifié le traité de 1874 sur le moment, elle n'a rien dit, et lorsque beaucoup plus tard, elle a allégué qu'il existait entre elle et l'Annam un certain lien, dont les expressions de suzeraineté et de vassalité, empruntées à la langue féodale, sont bien imparfaites, ce n'est pas à nous, messieurs, que la Chine devait faire ces représentations, c'est son vassal qu'elle devait rappeler au souvenir et à l'accomplissement de ses obligations.\n\nIl y a, messieurs, certainement quelque avantage à ce que la Chine et la France ne soient pas en contact immédiat. Et c'est précisément parce que les conditions discutées et acceptées par notre agent à Pékin nous mettaient en voisinage trop direct avec la Chine qu'elles nous ont paru constituer un danger.\n\nSi la Chine, écoutant de funestes conseils, au lieu de résister aux excitations dont j'ai parlé tout à l'heure, y cédait momentanément, nous n'avons pas à craindre d'elle, j'en ai la conviction, et c'est le sentiment unanime de tous ceux qui l'ont parcourue, habitée, étudiée; nous n'avons pas à craindre une guerre directe, qui n'est ni dans ses idées, ni dans ses habitudes.",

Ce que nous aurions à la tâche de celui qui a le périlleux honneur de craindre, c'est qu'elle favorisât, au Tonkin, l'entrée de bandes capables d'y jeter le trouble. Ce n'est pas là un danger à redouter, c'est un mal à guérir, et c'est dans l'espoir d'y porter remède que nous avons présenté le projet soumis en ce moment à vos délibérations. (Très bien! très bien! et applaudissements à gauche.) \n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Georges Perin. \n\nM. Georges Perin. Messieurs, les graves paroles que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères vient de faire entendre à cette tribune, et qui ont fait connaître à la Chambre un côté de la question qu'elle ne connaissait qu'imparfaitement, je crois, démontrent combien avaient raison ceux qui, il y a deux ans, alors que la question du Tonkin était portée à cette tribune, demandaient que l'on tînt compte du danger de conflits possibles avec la Chine. \n\nA cette époque le Gouvernement, et je le regrette, n'a pas fourni à la Chambre sur les éventualités qui pouvaient se présenter des renseignements que, selon moi, il aurait dû vous répondre en ce moment. \n\nLe Gouvernement n'ayant pas cru devoir ratifier le traité que M. Bourée signait ad referendum avec la Chine, parce qu'il considérait qu'il y avait danger de le faire et que son acceptation eût presque été une atteinte à l'honneur de la France, je demande la permission de ne pas l'examiner en ce moment dans son ensemble. Le traité n'ayant pas été accepté, nous n'avons pas à nous en occuper en l'appréciation des difficultés pendantes. Je veux donc examiner quelle est la situation de la France vis-à-vis de la Chine et jusqu'à quel point nous devons tenir compte de cette prétention de la Chine à exercer le droit de suzeraineté sur l'Annam.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nqu'il ait été amené à conclure un traité que le soin de l'honneur de la France ne permet pas au Gouvernement de la mère-patrie de ratifier.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nmergie active, par son audace entreprenante, changer le marché et à porter sur la place de Lyon le marché qui était autrefois à Londres; elle a noué des relations directes avec la Chine, et il se fait aujourd'hui entre la Chine et Lyon des affaires qui ne se chiffrent pas par moins de 400 millions.\n\nM. le ministre a, à cet égard, des renseignements qui nous font défaut. Toutefois, si nous avons avec la Chine des difficultés, les affaires ne devons pas être exposés à une prise d'armes par avoir d'autres conséquences, et les situations qui peuvent naître d'un état qui ne seraient singulièrement entravées, et que nous serions peut-être pas la guerre, mais qui ne verrions pas disparaître une source de bénéfices considérables pour l'une de nos grandes villes manufacturières.\n\nVoilà un côté de la question qu'il ne faut pas négliger et sur lequel j'appelle l'attention de M. le ministre et de la Chambre.\n\nLa Chine ne nous déclarera pas la guerre, je le veux bien, et j'ajoute que je le souhaite car, si la Chine est une puissance qui ne redoute pas cette éventualité.\n\nM. Ballue. Je puis vous assurer que Lyon ne peut pas mettre en péril la grandeur de la France et son avenir, - il serait ridicule de le supposer un seul instant, il serait également puéril de croire qu'elle n'est pas redoutable.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Vous avez certaine- ment, monsieur le ministre, des renseignements qui nous font défaut. M. le ministre des affaires étrangères nous a fait, en termes extrêmement nets et avec cette clarté d'exposition qui donne tant de charme à sa parole, un tableau très exact de l'histoire de la Chine dans les siècles passés; il nous a dit que les prétentions de la Chine étaient telles que si l'on en tenait compte chaque fois qu'on se trouve en face d'elle, il faudrait que nous n'irions plus à Pékin, comme nous avons été en 1860; il y a aujourd'hui à l'embouchure de Peï-ho des canons Krupp; il y a des Chinois qui sont instruits par des hommes qui n'appartiennent pas à la race jaune, mais à des nations européennes.\n\nJe ne veux pas en dire davantage. On n'a pas cru devoir alors fournir des explications à la Chambre...\n\nM. Jules Ferry, président du conseil, ministre de l'instruction publique et des beaux-arts. Je ne sais pas à quoi vous faites allusion: je ne puis pas vous laisser dire cela!\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je fais allusion, monsieur le président du conseil, aux dépêches que vous avez bien voulu communiquer alors à la commission et dont vous avez autorisé certains membres à prendre connaissance, dépêches par lesquelles M. Bourée avertissait le Gouvernement que la Chine engageait Tu-Duc à faire de nouveau acte de vassalité, que Tu-Duc répondait à cette invitation et qu'il y avait là l'indice de la politique de résistance que vous avez vue se dérouler depuis cette époque.\n\nJ'avais cherché à éveiller l'attention de la Chambre et du Gouvernement sur ce point il y a deux ans, et je regrette qu'à cette époque vous n'ayez pas voulu, ni vous, ni la commission, fournir de plus amples renseignements sur ce côté de la question, paraissant croire - et la Chambre malheureusement s'est trouvée d'accord avec vous - que les craintes de difficultés avec la Chine n'étaient pas sérieuses et qu'elles devaient être absolument écartées.\n\nCela dit, messieurs, la Chambre comprendra qu'il m'est difficile de répondre immédiatement, et comme il mériterait qu'on le fît, au discours de M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nPuisque je viens seulement d'avoir connaissance des termes exacts, précis, d'un traité dont les journaux avaient parlé, mais que, jusque-là, je ne connaissais pas officiellement.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Je vous l'ai fait connaître le plus tôt possible.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Permettez-moi, monsieur le ministre, de vous dire, en ouvrant une parenthèse, que je regrette que vous n'ayez pas, comme votre prédécesseur voulait le faire, publié un Livre jaune, contenant les documents relatifs à nos rapports avec la Chine au sujet du Tonkin.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Cette publication eût été prématurée; elle le serait peut-être encore.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Monsieur le ministre, votre prédécesseur avait l'intention cependant, il me l'a déclaré, de faire, avant tout débat à la tribune, cette publication qui eût facilité...\n\n...heureusement platonique, il est vrai, d'ailleurs. Oui, la Chine a eu souvent des prétentions excessives. Non-seulement elle a prétendu exercer un droit de suzeraineté sur des nations sur lesquelles peut-être elle n'avait pas ce droit, mais elle n'a jamais admis, ni dans ses protocoles, ni dans ses pièces diplomatiques, que certaines parties de son empire qui lui avaient été enlevées et qui l'étaient bien définitivement, ne lui appartinssent plus.\n\nAinsi, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères le sait mieux que moi, la Chine n'a pas encore reconnu, après quatre cents ans, la prise de possession de Macao par les Portugais.\n\n...\n\nDEBATS PARLÉMENTAIRES\n\n259\n\n15 Mai\n\n[QUAMERE) $39\n\npour but l'établissement d'un protectorat réel sur l'Annam, analogue au protectorat que nous exerçons sur le Cambodge, et qui par là même indique que jamais, en aucune circonstance, nous ne prendrions possession du pays.\n\n...\n\nM. Georges Per. Messieurs, je crois avoir fait saisir à la Chambre les inconvénients qui pourraient résulter de l'expédition que vous projetez et de notre établissement au Tonkin, par suite des relations difficiles qui pourraient en naître avec ce pays.\n\nSi je n'avais eu le devoir de répondre à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères, ce n'est peut-être pas par ce côté que j'aurais abordé la question. Avant d'examiner un des dangers que fait naître la question, j'aurais montré d'abord comment elle était arrivée au point où vous la trouvez en ce moment.\n\nJe crois que la Chambre, qui peut-être a voté, je ne dirai pas légèrement, - ce serait manquer d'égards pour mes collègues, - mais sans demander des explications suffisantes, le crédit qui il y a deux ans engageait la question et qui nous a menés au point où nous sommes aujourd'hui, je crois que la Chambre doit désirer être complètement éclairée et qu'elle voudra demander au Gouvernement les déclarations qui n'ont pas été faites en 1881.\n\nPour faire venir le Gouvernement à cette tribune, je vais expliquer très-nettement l'état de la question. Je vous demande la permission de le faire en très peu de mots.\n\nLorsqu'en juillet 1881 le Gouvernement est venu nous demander le crédit de 2,300,000 fr., il n'a pas cru devoir nous dire si ce crédit avait pour but d'exécuter le traité de 1874, purement et simplement, sans que jamais dans l'avenir on pût aller au delà, ou si, au contraire, ce n'était qu'un moyen de sortir momentanément d'une situation qui était devenue très tendue et très difficile et d'atermoyer en attendant les événements futurs.\n\nLorsque le Gouvernement nous a demandé ces 2 millions 300,000 fr. il nous a dit dans son exposé des motifs: Il s'agit de mesures conservatoires, nous voulons appliquer le traité dans une certaine mesure.\n\nEt lorsque, combattant cette demande de crédits, je disais: Mais vous allez sinon immédiatement, du moins dans un terme peu éloigné, à l'occupation définitive, c'est une expédition militaire au Tonkin.\n\nM. le rapporteur protestait, lui qui dans son rapport avait déjà dit « qu'une expédition dans le Tonkin ne pourrait en effet que compromettre le succès de la politique que nous désirons faire prévaloir, et qui a...\n\n...\n\nDEBATS PARLÉMENTAIRES\n\net un peu plus loin, le rapport dit encore qu'il faut nous établir solidement au Tonkin. Je sais bien que l'honorable rapporteur ne veut pas prononcer le mot expédition; je sais que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères - et ceci avait fait naître un doute sérieux dans mon esprit - disait au Sénat, répondant à M. de Saint-Vallier:\n\nIl n'est pas permis non plus de songer à une conquête du Tonkin, qui ne présenterait certes pas de grandes difficultés, mais serait absolument stérile.\n\nJe suis de votre avis, ce serait une conquête stérile; c'est pourquoi je ne voudrais pas qu'on la fît; mais je crois que vous vous trompez en pensant que ce n'est pas la conquête que nous allons faire, et je pense que depuis le jour où vous parliez ainsi, votre opinion a dû se modifier.\n\nEn effet, je prie la Chambre de vouloir bien examiner de près la question, considérer ce qu'on nous demande de faire, ce qui, peut-être, est déjà fait en partie...\n\n...\n\nDans ces questions néanmoins il doit avoir, de la part de tous les membres de la Chambre, une vigilance extrême, et je crois qu'il est du devoir de ceux qui pensent connaître une affaire pour l'avoir étudiée depuis longtemps, et avec le désir sincère, soyez-en sûr, monsieur le ministre, de l'envisager sous son jour vrai, il est, dis-je, de leur devoir de venir dire à leurs collègues ce qu'ils pensent et pourquoi, malgré eux, leur corps défendant, ils ont le regret, sur une question comme celle-là, de venir combattre le Gouvernement.",

Ce n'a pas toujours été\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je crois qu'il vous sera très difficile d'établir que le grand mouvement d'affaires à Haï-Phong, est fait par les Français; je dirai même que nous aurons grand peine à y supplanter, par notre commerce, les Anglais qui y sont établis depuis longtemps.\n\nmême de la première expédition au Tonkin.\n\nkin a été une entreprise nefaste, et que nous en supportons aujourd'hui les conséquences.\n\nMême en supposant que nous puissions donc, messieurs, je viens aujourd'hui demander à la Chambre de réfléchir, et au Gouvernement de ne pas entrer dans cette voie unique de tous les produits d'échange dans l'extrême Orient, auxquelles je suis aussi sensible qu'il y ait abdication pour cet officier de grande valeur, ce grand voyageur, parce que je crois que, aujourd'hui encore, il ne faut pas aller plus loin que nous avons été, par le Gouvernement, par le ministre de la marine, qui permettait au Journal officiel de déclarer, alors que cet officier était mort glorieusement au service de la France, que la cause de nos difficultés était que M. Francis Garnier avait probablement outrepassé les ordres qui lui avaient été donnés.\n\nJe roove, en outre et c'est ici le second côté de ma discussion, que nous pouvons ne pas aller plus loin que nous avons été, par le Gouvernement, par le ministre de la marine, qui permettait au Journal officiel de déclarer, alors que cet officier était mort glorieusement au service de la France, que la cause de nos difficultés était que M. Francis Garnier avait probablement outrepassé les ordres qui lui avaient été donnés.\n\nPour moi, j'ai déjà eu occasion de rendre hommage à cet officier de grande valeur, ce grand voyageur; je l'ai fait à une époque où qui que ce soit, il y a un autre point de vue à considérer, celui de nos intérêts réels, qui seront toujours avantageux, ou seront même glorieux, matériels, de prospérité coloniale; c'est ce point que j'ai à m'expliquer et je ferai en quelques mots.\n\nL'opinion publique a été trompée et elle a été trompée sur cette question de la prise de possession du Tonkin, qu'on la présente comme une terre promise, où tout est au moins des doutes et des doutes très sérieux.\n\nMais laissons, si vous voulez, de côté cette question et venons-en aux faits.\n\nOn dit ensuite: il faut ouvrir des débouchés au commerce et fournir un aliment à notre marine marchande.\n\nD'un seul mot je montrerai que, là encore, il y a une illusion.\n\nOuvrir des débouchés au commerce! Mais le jour où nous serions complètement maîtres du Tonkin, croyez-vous que le commerce français saurait s'y créer des débouchés, et croyez-vous qu'il aurait fait le jour-là ce qu'il n'a pas su faire dans la Cochinchine, ce qu'il n'a pas su faire encore à Haï-Phong où nous sommes, où rien ne l'empêchait d'agir et de se créer des débouchés?\n\nM. Paul Bert, Lesquels ? Quel est votre système ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Mon système, je l'ai déjà exposé il y a deux ans et malheureusement sans succès.\n\nMais les faits nouveaux qui se sont produits ont donné raison à ce que je disais, et c'est ce qui me fait un devoir de la répéter aujourd'hui, du moins en partie.\n\nJe ne viens pas vous proposer d'abandonner purement et simplement le Tonkin, ce qui pourtant - soit dit en passant - pourrait se faire sans mettre en péril notre colonie de la Basse-Cochinchine, sinon diminuer momentanément, je le veux bien, le prestige de la France dans l'extrême Orient.\n\nA une certaine époque, on a dit, dans la commission du budget et ailleurs, que, si nous nous retirions du Tonkin, nous serions à bref délai obligés d'abandonner la basse Cochinchine.\n\nA quoi l'amiral Jaureguiberry répondait, nos collègues de la commission doivent s'en souvenir et les procès-verbaux de la commission en font foi, l'amiral Jaureguiberry répondait que cela n'était pas soutenable, qu'il y a 250 lieues de distance entre la basse Cochinchine et le Tonkin et que l'abandon des quelques points que nous occupions au Tonkin ne modifierait en rien notre situation dans la basse Cochinchine.\n\nJe reconnais, messieurs, que, si nous nous retirions purement et simplement du Tonkin, notre prestige dans l'extrême Orient pourrait en être un peu amoindri, et ce n'est certes pas cela que je viens proposer à la Chambre.\n\nMais, avant de faire connaître le moyen terme qui, je le crois, serait de nature à sauvegarder tous les intérêts, je pense qu'il est nécessaire, vu la grande importance donnée par le rapport à ce côté de la question, je pense qu'il est nécessaire de montrer comment cette question est devenue aujourd'hui une de celles qui préoccupent le plus le pays.\n\nM. Paul Bert. On a été odieux pour lui et pour ses compagnons !\n\nM. Georges Perin. A cette époque, en 1873, j'ai protesté et j'ai dit: Il y a quelqu'un qui a outrepassé les ordres qu'il avait reçus, mais ce n'est pas l'homme qui est mort, qui a eu le tort de mourir; car, s'il eût été vivant, il aurait su se défendre, ce n'est pas Francis Garnier, c'est l'amiral Dupré.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Qui est mort aussi, M. Georges Perin !\n\nIl est mort, je le sais, mais je puis répéter ce que j'ai déjà dit quand il était en vie: L'amiral Dupré aurait dû passer en conseil de guerre, parce qu'il avait enfreint ouvertement les ordres de son chef, le ministre de la marine.\n\nJ'ai là le texte même de la dépêche qu'au mois de juillet 1873 M. le ministre de la marine envoyait à l'amiral Dupré et dans laquelle il lui disait: Sous aucun prétexte, pour quelque raison que ce soit, n'engagez pas la France au Tonkin.\n\nLe ministre d'alors faisait valoir des motifs sur lesquels je ne reviendrai pas; il suffit, pour les deviner, de se rappeler que, en 1873, on était bien près de 1870.\n\nL'amiral Dupré n'a pas tenu compte de cette dépêche; il a donné des ordres à M. Francis Garnier, qui, lui, devait les exécuter, et j'estime que ce n'est pas sur ce dernier qu'on aurait dû faire retomber la responsabilité des événements graves qui sont survenus et qui ont eu pour conséquence de nous faire abandonner le pays dans des conditions déplorables, je le reconnais, et cependant, pour mon compte, je ne reproche pas au gouvernement d'alors de ne pas être resté au Tonkin.\n\nEt que ceux de mes honorables collègues de l'Assemblée nationale qui aujourd'hui sont au banc ministériel me permettent de le leur dire: puisque dans leur exposé des motifs, ils paraissent faire même un crime au gouvernement d'alors de n'avoir pas été en avant, de n'avoir pas tout au moins maintenu notre occupation, ils auraient dû formuler leurs critiques autrefois, lorsque le traité de 1874 a été discuté.\n\nIl ne faut rien exagérer cependant.\n\nLorsque nous discutions dernièrement la question si grave des récidivistes, M. le ministre de l'intérieur disait avec raison que certains cahiers électrons réclamaient cette loi; mais je ne sache pas que, dans aucun cahier, sauf peut-être dans celui de M. Blancsubé, on trouve formulée cette demande de la solution de la question du Tonkin par la prise de possession ou par un protectorat effectif de ce pays.\n\nLeurs s'en soient préoccupés.\n\nMais je reconnais que, si les électeurs n'ont pas donné un mandat formel, à cet égard, à leurs commettants, il y a une opinion publique qui s'est formée, dont le Gouvernement peut avoir à cœur de tenir compte, et je ne me dissimule nullement que, si le Gouvernement acceptait ma solution, il aurait peut-être à remonter le courant de l'opinion publique; mais c'est un devoir pour lui, si l'opinion publique a été égarée.\n\nOr, selon moi, l'opinion publique a été égarée par deux raisons: d'abord, par une raison extrêmement louable et que je respecte, par une raison de sentiment, et ensuite par une raison d'intérêt mal compris.\n\nLa raison de sentiment, c'est l'histoire de Francis Garnier.\n\nCeci dit pour la partie historique, je crois que ce nom de Francis Garnier, qui apparaît entouré d'une auréole de gloire et de dévouement à son pays, les journaux s'en sont servis, comme ils avaient le droit de le faire, pour entraîner l'opinion publique; mais nous devons examiner les choses plus froidement, et après avoir rendu hommage à ce citoyen, à cet officier de très grand mérite, nous n'en devons pas moins examiner impartialement la ligne politique qu'il a suivie dans l'extrême Orient.\n\nM. le rapporteur. C'est une erreur; il est vrai que cela n'a pas toujours été une erreur.\n\nM. Georges Perin. M. le rapporteur me coupe la parole, mais je continue.\n\nOn ne parle plus aujourd'hui, dans l'exposé des motifs et dans le rapport de M. Blancsubé, du fleuve Rouge et des grands avantages pécuniaires que nous en pouvons retirer.\n\nEt cela est si vrai que les gens sérieux disent: Le jour où nous serons maîtres du Tonkin, nous suppléerons à l'insuffisance du fleuve par un chemin de fer.\n\nle président. Vous répondrez, mon rapporteur, mais n'interrompez pas.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Cette considération est laissée un peu de côté, et avec raison: c'est que ce fleuve est peu navigable.\n\nVous savez qu'à cet égard les renseignements les plus positifs, les plus authentiques ont été fournis par M. Tardieu, dans un rapport que le Gouvernement a bien voulu me communiquer, et qui dit à cet égard:\n\nSi on recherche dans quelles proportions les divers pavillons ont pris part au mouvement maritime, on trouve que le pavillon anglais couvre 35 p. 100 du tonnage total; le pavillon américain 20 p. 100; le pavillon chinois 23,5 p. 100, par ses vapeurs seulement, sans compter les jonques; le pavillon allemand 11 p. 100; le pavillon hollandais, 5,5 p. 100; le pavillon français 5 p. 100.\n\nDans la saison des hautes eaux, des courants de foudre; à l'époque de l'étiage, des bas-fonds et des rapides; en tout temps le manque de sécurité, au milieu de ces forêts habitées par des peuplades à demi-indépendantes; et enfin les avanies que les fonctionnaires annamites, ou les bandes d'aventuriers à la solde du gouvernement, font subir au commerce.\n\nLa navigation française tient, jusqu'à présent, une trop faible place; encore ne l'occupe-t-elle que grâce aux voyages du vapeur subventionné par l'administration de la Cochinchine française.\n\nVoulez-vous me permettre de vous donner l'avis de M. Tardieu, qui a été et qui est encore, je crois, un fonctionnaire du Gouvernement, et qui a été chef d'affaires à Hai-Phong ?\n\nM. le rapporteur. Il a été mis à la retraite !\n\nM. Georges Perin. En tout cas, il a été consul à Haï-Phong.\n\nM. Tardieu, dans un rapport que le Gouvernement a bien voulu me communiquer, dit à cet égard:\n\nLa navigation française tient, jusqu'à présent, une trop faible place; encore ne l'occupe-t-elle que grâce aux voyages du vapeur subventionné par l'administration de la Cochinchine française.\n\nEt alors il envisage le manque de sécurité résultant des Pavillons noirs.\n\nJe reconnais que l'honorable collègue M. Blancsubé, qui a une grande autorité dans cette question, me dit que c'est une erreur.\n\nPour moi, je trouve que M. Francis Garnier s'est trompé, que l'entreprise du Tonkin a été une erreur.\n\nSingapore, et qui sont actuellement en possession du commerce - brali possidentes, c'est vous - vous ne les débusquerez pas de cette situation, sans établir un régime de protection, ce que, du reste, vous ne voulez ou ne pouvez pas faire.\n\nJe crois donc que vous ne créerez pas de débouchés à notre commerce, je crois que vous ne fournirez pas un aliment à notre marine marchande.\n\nJ'arrive à la question des mines.\n\nTout à l'heure, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères vous a montré à quel point le Gouvernement se préoccupait de cette question, puisqu'il a dit qu'un des motifs pour lesquels il n'avait pas voulu accepter le traité de M. Bourée, c'est qu'il cédait à la Chine la partie du Tonkin la plus riche peut-être en mines.\n\nJe parle des mines de charbon, car dans une carte qui nous a été donnée tout à l'heure et que tous mes collègues ont entre les mains, des mines considérables, des mines argentifères, aurifères sont indiquées dans une autre partie du pays.\n\nJe dois reconnaître que le Tonkin est un des pays miniers les plus riches du monde.\n\nJe vois sur un point de cette carte: Mines d'or et d'argent; sur un autre point encore, mines d'or, mines d'argent.\n\nEt enfin, messieurs, notez ceci : grosses pépites d'or.\n\nM. le comte de Douville-Maillefen. Dans une région inexplorée ! (On rit.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Grosses pépites d'or ! Ceci rappelle tout à fait l'Eldorado de Voltaire, où il n'y avait qu'à se baisser pour ramasser des cailloux qui étaient des diamants et de la terre qui était de l'or.\n\nVoilà donc un pays extrêmement riche en mines, et je comprends qu'on veuille les exploiter.\n\nA cet égard, je voudrais faire une seule observation.\n\nOn a regretté, - le Gouvernement a pu le voir et le lire dans divers journaux, que des promesses de concessions aient déjà été faites.\n\nM. Jules Ferry, président du conseil. Quelles promesses ? Qui a fait des promesses ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je dis que ce bruit a couru...\n\nM. le président du conseil. On a dit une chose qui n'est pas exacte; cela arrive souvent du reste.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je suis heureux, et c'est un peu pour cela que j'ai soulevé la question, de vous avoir fourni, monsieur le président du conseil, l'occasion de déclarer qu'on n'avait fait aucune promesse de cette nature.\n\nJe souhaite qu'on indemnise M. Dupuis qui, probablement, a droit à une indemnité.\n\nUn membre au centre. La Chambre l'a jugé.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Mais j'ai regretté que, ce jour-là, une parole semblable ait été prononcée à la tribune.\n\nJe crois qu'il ne doit pas y avoir de promesses faites à l'avance.\n\nSi nous prenons le Tonkin, où l'on trouve des pépites d'or à fleur de terre, je voudrais qu'il fût entendu que vous ne donnerez la concession des mines que par une loi.\n\nJe sais que vous avez le droit de le faire par un décret, mais pourquoi ne pas faire aux colonies ce qui se fait en France.\n\nEn ne faisant la concession que par une loi, la question se trouverait discutée devant la Chambre, et ainsi aucune accusation malveillante ne pourra se produire.\n\nDoit-on prendre un pays parce qu'il renferme des richesses minières ? (Sourires. Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nVous avez des mines en maints endroits, dans des pays dont vous êtes possesseurs.\n\nJe ne parlerai pas de la Guyane, où les mines sont inexploitées; mais dans l'extrême Orient, au Cambodge, il existe des mines extrêmement riches.\n\nSur cette carte, on aurait pu indiquer les mines d'or du Cambodge: on pourrait les exploiter.\n\nEn prenant le Tonkin uniquement pour ses mines, vous vous engageriez dans une aventure dont les avantages ne compenseraient pas les inconvénients.\n\nMais enfin, messieurs, on dit qu'il n'y a pas d'hésitation possible, et on veut rassurer la Chambre qui, avec raison, se préoccupe des finances de la France, sur l'importance des dépenses.\n\nLe Gouvernement le comprend; il nous demande de débourser 5 millions seulement, et il ajoute aussitôt : Le pays où nous voulons aller pourra largement compenser les dépenses que nous aurons à faire.\n\nLe Tonkin fournit 18 millions d'impôts que l'on pourrait sans trop faire crier le contribuable, porter à 30 millions.\n\nM. le rapporteur a été plus loin; il a parlé de 80 à 100 millions.\n\nPrenons le chiffre de 30 millions, c'est celui, je crois, que M. le ministre de la marine a donné à la commission du budget.\n\nEt l'on dit: Ces 30 millions suffiront à toutes les dépenses: 10 millions pour l'expédition proprement dite, 5 millions pour les menues frais; on donnera 5 ou 10 millions au pauvre Tu-Duc qui, ainsi, ne sera pas trop pauvre.\n\nA ce prix, dit-on, nous posséderons le pays.\n\nEh bien, franchement, quand on nous propose d'aller nous établir dans un pays et qu'on nous dit, en mettant tout au mieux, que ce pays payera tous les frais de la guerre, on nous demande tout simplement de mettre la population tonkinoise en régie.\n\nVoilà, je crois, comment les choses doivent s'appeler.\n\nJe crois, moi, que nous avons mieux à faire.\n\nJ'estime que nous devons développer par d'autres moyens notre prospérité coloniale et je voudrais l'asseoir sur une autre base.\n\nQuelques membres. Laquelle ? Quel est votre système ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. On me dit : Quel est votre système ? Je vais vous le dire dans un instant.\n\nAujourd'hui la question est posée nettement.\n\nIl n'est plus permis de croire qu'on s'établira au Tonkin avec une compagnie, comme cela a été dit.\n\nSi nous prenons le Tonkin, l'honorable M. Blancsubé pourra réclamer une grande part de gloire.\n\nIl est de ceux qui ont le plus poussé le pays vers cette entreprise, et qui ont le plus contribué à y entraîner l'opinion publique.\n\nVoici ce qu'il a dit le 30 mars 1881, devant la société académique Indo-Chinoise.\n\n(M. Blancsubé fait un signe de dénégation.)\n\nC'est dans le Bulletin de la société académique Indo-Chinoise que je trouve la complète reconstitution de cette conférence.\n\nSi ce n'est pas à cette société que vous l'avez faite, c'est peut-être au boulevard des Capucines.\n\nM. le rapporteur. A quelle époque ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Le 30 mars 1881.\n\nVoici ce que vous avez dit :\n\n260\n\n14 Mai\n\n(CHAMBRE)\n\n941",

Messieurs, nous n'aurions littéralement qu'à paraître pour que le Tonkin soit à nous... 1\n\nEh bien, la situation a changé.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Pas beaucoup ! M. Georges Perin. Vous reconnaissez vous-même qu'elle a changé, puisque dans votre rapport vous dites, parlant des 3,000 hommes de troupes françaises qu'on doit envoyer au Tonkin, et des 1,000 tirailleurs annamites: « Il a paru à votre commission que ce déploiement de forces était suffisant et que, d'autre part, il n'avait rien d'exagéré. »\n\nVous admettez donc aujourd'hui que, s'il suffit de paraître, il faut au moins paraître accompagné de quelques milliers d'hommes. (Approbation sur divers bancs.)\n\nVoilà ce qui me paraît changer singulièrement la question, mais aussi elle se trouve placée sous son vrai jour.\n\nC'est sans doute à cela que pensait M. le ministre des affaires étrangères, lorsqu'il disait au Sénat qu'il fallait se mettre en garde contre les entreprises romanesques. M. le ministre des affaires étrangères ne croyait pas probablement et ne croit pas aujourd'hui qu'il suffise de paraître au Tonkin pour s'en emparer; il pense qu'il faut y paraître accompagné d'un nombre d'hommes respectable et, par conséquent, engager les forces de la France dans...\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nde vue économique la prise de possession du Tonkin ne pouvait donner que des avantages très contestables, et que l'opinion était victime d'une illusion en s'imaginant qu'on allait par là donner à notre commerce un marché considérable et créer des débouchés à nos industries.\n\nJ'ai dit que nous allons éparpiller nos forces tandis que nous avons le devoir de les concentrer en France.\n\nLorsqu'une première fois on a discuté la question, j'ai pu, en causant avec beaucoup de mes collègues, voir que, si on l'avait de grands doutes sur les avantages réels qu'on pourrait retirer d'une expédition au Tonkin, on n'en avait pas sur la difficulté qu'il y a à quitter un pays dont on a pris possession déjà, ce serait une reculade, une abdication, comme le dit le Gouvernement dans l'exposé des motifs.\n\nMais enfin, l'amour-propre national est engagé.\n\nSi l'amour-propre national était tellement engagé que nous dussions, ou lui faire subir un outrage grave, ou aller en avant, je ne vous proposerais pas de vous arrêter. J'estime qu'on doit être aussi soucieux de l'honneur du pays que du sien propre, et je ne proposerais jamais à mon pays une reculade, pas plus que je n'en accepterais pour moi-même.\n\nAujourd'hui, que pouvons-nous faire ? Nous ne sommes pas en possession du Tonkin; il ne s'agirait pas pour nous d'abandonner un pays que nous posséderions. Nous sommes toujours sous l'empire du traité de 1874; nous avons des garnisons dans trois villes, et puis... je n'ai pas parlé de ces faits pour ne pas allonger la discussion, nous avons cru devoir nous lier volontairement par une condamnation là-dessus.\n\nA moins qu'on ne veuille absolument prendre possession du pays, étendre notre empire colonial, je crois que cette solution serait acceptable. Mais ici, de ma discussion, j'ai à répondre à une opinion très répandue dans la Chambre et dont on peut trouver la trace dans les documents officiels.\n\nOn nous dit qu'il est nécessaire que la France ait aujourd'hui une politique coloniale, que la France s'affirme, ce qu'elle n'a pas fait peut-être dans ces dernières années, et montre qu'elle entend reprendre, comme puissance coloniale, le rang dont on a pu croire un instant qu'elle était déchue.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n231\n\n16 Mai\n\n943\n\n[CHAMBRE]\n\nAppel à l'histoire, que cette colonie d'exploitation nous l'avons vue dans toute sa gloire, dans tout son développement se créer, prospérer et se développer aux Indes, dans les mains des Anglais. Je sais que, précisément à propos du Tonkin, le nom de l'Inde a été prononcé. On nous a dit: Il y a là une occasion de comment et promptement à ce résultat, que vous en étendant l'empire colonial de la France dans l'extrême Orient, en créant un grand empire français de l'Indo-Chine, nous aurons une compensation, et peut-être pourrons-nous ainsi nous consoler de ne plus avoir cet empire de l'Inde perdu autrefois.\n\nM. le comte de Douville-Maillefeu.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Ils verraient que l'Inde est aujourd'hui pour l'Angleterre une source de soucis très grands. (Nouvelles interruptions à gauche et au centre.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je dirai à ceux de mes collègues qui protestent que, s'ils suivaient le mouvement de l'opinion publique en Angleterre, s'ils lisaient tout ce qui est publié sur cette question, ils verraient que l'Inde coûte cher à l'Angleterre.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Il serait impossible, messieurs, de ne pas rendre pleine justice à la persévérance que M. Georges Perin a montrée dans son opposition. Les évènements, au lieu de la désarmer, l'affermissent.\n\nVoilà neuf ans que nous sommes établis au Tonkin, en vertu d'un traité. Nous avons dépensé pour cet établissement une somme importante, qui ne s'élève pas à moins de 9 millions, et qui devrait certainement être portée à un chiffre plus élevé, si l'on y faisait entrer les dépenses que nous avons à faire pour les navires en station. Chaque année une somme de 800,000 francs est inscrite au budget sous la rubrique Service du Tonkin. Eh bien, messieurs, à l'heure qu'il est, notre situation au Tonkin est précaire, embarrassée, sinon menacée.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je l'ai dit.\n\nM. le ministre. Je vais essayer de vous démontrer que le projet qui vous est apporté est nécessaire et qu'il est suffisant pour mettre un terme à cette situation, pour substituer à un état de choses indécis, coûteux, stérile, une situation qui aura le mérite d'être précise et parfaitement définie.\n\nIl a été si souvent question dans cette Chambre de notre établissement au Tonkin, on en a si souvent raconté l'histoire, - M. Georges Perin lui-même en a rappelé tout à l'heure un des premiers et des plus glorieux épisodes, que je n'ai pas à y revenir. J'écarterai donc complètement le souvenir, d'ailleurs inutile dans cette discussion, des incidents pittoresques ou tragiques qui en ont marqué les différentes phases. Je m'arrête au traité de 1874.\n\nCe traité, c'est la base de notre action, c'est notre point de départ nécessaire. Malgré les lacunes qu'on a pu y signaler, malgré les clauses restrictives, gênantes, qu'il contient, ce traité impliquait cependant, pour la première fois, la reconnaissance formelle de nos possessions de la Cochinchine, il nous fournissait les moyens de purger le Tonkin de la piraterie et du brigandage, d'y ouvrir d'un champ plus ou moins fécond, mais à coup sûr très vaste et presque illimité.\n\nEn 1874, si j'ai bonne mémoire, M. Georges Perin n'était pas très éloigné de reconnaître qu'il était déjà difficile à la France de se retirer du Tonkin. Il y a deux ans, il vous demandait de dénoncer le traité de 1874, et il renouvelle aujourd'hui l'expression de cette opinion.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Il serait impossible, messieurs, de ne pas rendre pleine justice à la persévérance que M. Georges Perin a montrée dans son opposition.\n\nDu reste, il ne faudrait pas exagérer la salubrité du Tonkin. Lisez, comme je l'ai fait moi-même, les rapports de gens qui n'ont aucun intérêt à présenter le Tonkin comme un pays insalubre, puisqu'à une certaine époque ils y ont poussé les Français. Les rapports des missionnaires disent que, si le Tonkin est moins insalubre que la Cochinchine, il n'est pas d'une salubrité complète; ils parlent d'une fièvre très redoutable qui règne dans les parties montagneuses.\n\nVous trouverez dans les documents officiels dont je vous parlais tout à l'heure un compte rendu de M. le docteur Mage qui a exploré les provinces Nord du Tonkin, Il y est dit que, si le Nord est relativement salubre, les Européens devront se défier des provinces du Sud, dont la climatologie rappelle dans une certaine mesure celle de l'Hué, de funèbre mémoire.\n\nVous voyez donc que cette expédition peut présenter certains dangers. Eh bien, je crois que vous devez hésiter, et c'est ici que j'arrive à dire à la Chambre qu'elle peut et doit éviter de faire cette expédition.\n\nNous ne sommes pas dans des conditions aussi difficiles. Nous sommes vainqueurs, nous n'éprouvons aucune résistance; nous nous trouvons en face d'un traité que nous pouvons dénoncer comme cela s'est fait en...\n\nJe voudrais que la prospérité coloniale de mon pays se créât et se développât dans des conditions déterminées. On peut dire à l'Angleterre: « Le traité de 1874 que vous avez violé, nous ne voulons pas le considérer plus longtemps. Nous avons subi des dommages, comme vous nous avez mis dans une situation difficile, entraînés à des dépenses, nous voulons une compensation. » Vous pouvez demander alors une indemnité de guerre considérable, et affirmer que vous parlez, non pas en nation humiliée et vaincue, mais en nation victorieuse, en restant au Tonkin, mais dans des conditions qui n'engagent pas l'avenir.\n\nVous avez à Haï-Phong une situation excellente; le jour où le Tonkin sera ouvert par la force même des choses, et sous la pression de toutes les nations européennes, comme l'a été la partie de certains fleuves de la Chine, vous aurez là une situation prépondérante. Maîtres du delta, vous pourrez y appeler vos nationaux et leur dire: « Voilà le fleuve Rouge ouvert sans qu'on ait employé les armes, et par la seule...\n\nCe traité, malgré tous ses défauts, nous constituait une situation privilégiée, et nous aurions pu certainement nous y tenir jusqu'au moment où le roi d'Annam, convaincu des avantages qu'il y avait pour lui-même, en aurait spontanément élargi les dispositions.\n\nMais il aurait fallu pour cela que ce traité, interprété avec bonne foi, et appliqué fidèlement, fût souscrit par lui en connaissance de cause. Or, vous savez que c'est le contraire qui est arrivé.\n\nM. Georges Perin... C'est l'expression même de la mauvaise foi du gouvernement d'Annam.\n\nLes Chambres actuelles, et avant elles l'Assemblée nationale, ont, depuis 1874, manifesté d'une manière constante leurs dispositions à l'égard du Tonkin; et, pour ne citer que deux traits, mais qui suffisent pour caractériser la conduite qu'il a tenue, mais qui suffisent pour caractériser la conduite qu'a tenue le gouvernement d'Annam.\n\nM. Georges Perin m'a invité, et c'est la tâche à laquelle je vais m'appliquer, à définir, si je le puis exactement et en toute sincérité, le sens et la portée du projet de loi qui vous est soumis.

        "content_text": "944 16 Mai [CHAMBRE]\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait pour principal objet de donner au gouvernement d'Annam les moyens de maintenir, avec notre concours, l'ordre et la tranquillité dans ses Etats, notamment contre les brigands si connus sous le nom de Pavillons Noirs. Eh bien! messieurs, il est aujourd'hui établi, par les témoignages les plus certains, par l'aveu même des ministres du roi Ta-Duc, que c'est lui-même qui entretient à sa solde les Pavillons-Noirs, que nous étions chargés de l'aider à réprimer.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut reconnaître que si les volontés n'ont pas varié, il n'en a pas été de même de la politique. Là, il a régné une trop grande et une trop longue incertitude.\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait un autre objet, c'était d'établir la parfaite indépendance de l'Annam à l'égard de toute autre puissance. Il est avéré aujourd'hui, il est évident, il est patent que c'est le gouvernement d'Annam lui-même, que c'est le roi Ta-Duc qui a réveillé les prétentions assoupies de la Chine; qui entretient avec elle des manoeuvres, des intelligences dont le but est de faire naître entre elle et nous des démêlés qui n'ont absolument aucune raison d'être.\n\nDe là, messieurs, la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, situation que M. Delafosse, aussi bien que M. Georges Perin, ont, avec grande raison, déclarée fausse, pénible, intolérable.\n\nQue sommes-nous au Tonkin? Sommes-nous les amis ou les adversaires du roi d'Annam? Sommes-nous des protecteurs ou bien des barbares avec lesquels on a traité par force et dont il faut se débarrasser à tout prix? Le traité de 1874 subsiste-t-il encore ou bien n'en reste-t-il que des lambeaux sans valeur? Voilà ce que l'on se demande dans tout l'Orient, ce qu'on se demande en Chine, ce qu'on se demande dans le royaume d'Annam. Voilà la question qu'on se pose en Europe où il règne une fâcheuse incertitude sur nos desseins, et où cette incertitude donne lieu à des commentaires, à des interprétations et à des prévisions qui ne sont pas, on est bien forcé d'en convenir, profitables à notre crédit.(Très bien très bien! et vifs applaudissements.)\n\nAussi, est-il arrivé ce qui devait arriver: c'est qu'au jour, nous avons été obligés, -ça a été le sentiment de la Chambre, lors qu'elle a voté le projet du mois de juillet 1881, ça a été aussi le sentiment du Gouvernement, de prendre enfin des mesures pour que notre intervention au Tonkin devint quelque peu efficace.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est advenu. Le commandant Rivière est allé au Tonkin, à la tête d'une petite force, animé d'intentions pacifiques comme les ordres qu'il avait reçus. jusqu'au moment où, injurié, menacé, outragé dans des placards affichés jusque sur sa demeure, il a été obligé de se saisir par la force de la forteresse d'Hanoi, puis il l'a démantelée et, usant d'un procédé qui n'a jamais réussi avec ces populations, il l'a rendue. De là une nouvelle audace, un surcroît de provocations, d'injures et d'attaques, jusqu'au jour où, menacé de se voir couper les communications qu'il avait avec la mer, il a dû, il y a cinq ou six semaines, s'emparer de la forteresse de Nan-Dinh et repousser une attaque dirigée contre la forteresse de Hanoi. A l'heure qu'il est, nos garnisons maîtresses des points où elles étaient menacées comme de ceux dont elles ont cru devoir se saisir, sont en parfaite sûreté.\n\nMessieurs, le gouvernement d'Annam, malgré le traité de 1874, malgré des protestations dont il s'est toujours montré prodigue, malgré sa faiblesse militaire, est parvenu — et c'est pour lui un honneur auquel il ne s'attendait pas — à nous tenir en échec.\n\nL'amour propre blessé, qui est un ressort d'une singulière puissance chez ces peuples, ne l'oublions pas, la haine du barbare et le barbare c'est nous, ce sont tous les Européens, - le regret de voir échapper à sa puissance une population qu'on est accoutumé à pressurer, ce sont là, messieurs, des sentiments auxquels nous devions nous attendre; mais ces sentiments, quelque naturels qu'ils soient chez les Annamites, fort capables de manoeuvres hostiles, moins capables d'une action guerrière, ne suffisent pas à expliquer notre situation actuelle.\n\nCette situation, messieurs, s'explique par une autre cause: c'est que par suite des égards que le gouvernement français a cru devoir avoir pour un Etat faible, par suite de l'espérance qu'il a nourrie de le ramener, à force de patience, à l'exécution de ses engagements, par l'illusion qu'il a eue de croire qu'une politique de ménagements était de quelque action sur ces peuples, notre politique, il faut l'avouer, a manqué de décision et d'énergie. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe dis, messieurs, notre politique, je ne dis pas la volonté du Parlement; car je vous prie de repasser dans vos souvenirs les différentes discussions qui ont eu lieu, soit ici et au Sénat, soit à l'Assemblée nationale à propos du Tonkin, et vous verrez que les Chambres n'ont jamais varié qu'elles ont montré dans cette question une volonté suivie, permanente. Et ces discussions, si brillantes, et dans lesquelles tout le monde reconnaîtra que M. Georges Perin a pris une part importante, ces discussions dans lesquelles tous les points de vue ont été examinés, le climat, les ressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées.\n\nCette population docile et laborieuse, mais incapable de gouvernement, supporte, tout le monde le sait, avec peine le joug annamite: elle n'a pas perdu le souvenir d'une indépendance qui n'a succombé qu'au commencement de ce siècle, ni d'une dynastie dont M. Delafosse nous invitons, tout à l'heure, à rechercher et dont il ne serait peut-être pas impossible en effet de trouver encore quelque représentant. Des insurrections fréquentes, continuelles, dont la dernière ne remonte pas plus loin que 1872, témoignent de l'antipathie profonde de ces populations pour les Annamites. Tout cela suffirait à expliquer comment nous y avons été, presque dès la première heure, accueillis comme des libérateurs, quand même on ne saurait pas que cette population est accablée par les exactions des mandarins, aussi bien que par les coups de main des brigands.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\npartie de la population, des 400,000 chrétiens, 800,000, selon d'autres évaluations...\n\nM. Paul Bert. 460,000, chiffre officiel de l'Univers.\n\nM. le ministre. ...qui n'ont peut-être pas été pour nous des auxiliaires aussi dévoués et aussi actifs qu'on l'a dit, mais, qu'en tous cas, la situation particulière qui leur est faite, l'interdit cruel dont ils sont frappés par les non-convertis, prédisposent à nous considérer comme des protecteurs. Voilà, messieurs, l'appui solide, presque indestructible que, si nous le voulions bien, nous trouverions au Tonkin.\n\nMais, messieurs, cet appui contribue à rendre notre situation plus fausse, car ces 10 millions d'hommes qui sollicitent notre action, notre protection, se demandent sans le comprendre, comment nous supportons les manoeuvres occultes, les attaques déguisées et quelquefois ouvertes des Annamites. Il est clair que cette situation ne saurait durer. Il faut absolument y mettre un terme.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n262\n\n46 Mai\n\nCHAMBRE 945\n\nAnnée 1889\n\nTonkin, notre autorité n'aurait peut-être jamais été contestée dans la Cochinchine, mais nous pouvons élever contre la conduite du gouvernement d'Annam, malgré les violations, on peut le dire, presque innombrables du traité de 1874, malgré les circonstances qui ont décidé notre envoyé auprès de Ta-Duc à se retirer, nous avons voulu, nous croyons tenter une dernière démarche auprès de lui, et nous avons choisi pour cela un homme qui nous était désigné par sa connaissance approfondie du Tonkin, par le long séjour qu'il y a fait, par les qualités personnelles que nul ne lui conteste; nous n'avons vu, nous n'avons voulu voir que son intelligence, ses lumières, sa fermeté, son sang-froid.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Votre présence à Haï-Phong serait une marque de votre force.\n\nM. le ministre, Insuffisante!\n\nM. Georges Perin. Très suffisante.\n\nM. le ministre. Je ne doute en aucune façon que nous ne gardassions la Cochinchine; Par la retraite? Non, messieurs, personne, pas même M. Georges Perin, n'arrive à cette extrémité. Tout le monde sent que, en l'on peut varier sur les autres solutions, il y en a une qu'il faut absolument exclure; il faut l'écarter parce que ni l'intérêt, ni l'honneur, ni même la plus simple prudence ne nous permettent de nous y arrêter. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe voudrais maintenant, en aussi peu de mots que possible, répondre à la question que m'a posée l'honorable M. Georges Perin et définir la portée et la signification du projet soumis à la Chambre.\n\nL'intérêt frappe tous les yeux et il est évident que si nous nous retirions du Tonkin, il y a, n'en doutez pas, des héritiers tout prêts... (Très bien! C'est cela! Applaudissements à gauche et au centre) qui épient le moment où, par je ne sais quel faux calcul, vous abandonneriez la situation que vous avez prise, (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe n'hésite pas, messieurs, à répéter, malgré les doutes exprimés par M. Georges Perin, que s'il s'agit bien en effet d'une expédition, il faut bien le reconnaître, il ne saurait être question d'une conquête, non! et par une raison bien simple que M. Georges Perin appréciera : — c'est qu'il n'y a rien à conquérir chez un peuple où tout le monde nous est ami, où nous n'avons d'adversaires que des fonctionnaires étrangers -car les mandarins annamites sont au Tonkin des fonctionnaires étrangers et leurs singuliers auxiliaires, les Pavillons noirs.\n\nNous n'avons rien à conquérir dans un pays où nous n'avons pas l'intention de nous annexer.\n\nNous n'entreprenons même pas, l'entreprise serait considérable, de faire la police sur toute l'étendue de Tonkin, sur les 86.000 kilomètres carrés dont vous parlait M. Georges Perin...\n\nEt, messieurs, quand même l'intérêt, l'honneur, ne vous commanderaient pas de rester au Tonkin, la plus simple prudence vous en ferait un devoir.\n\nIl n'y a aucun lien entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin? M. Georges Perin ne le croit pas et l'autorité de M. l'amiral Jaureguiberry ne parviendrait pas à l'en convaincre.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Alors, vous n'exécuterez pas le traité de 1874?\n\nM. le ministre. Nous l'exécuterons, soyez-en sûr, parce que nous avons l'espérance et croyance fondée qu'il y a d'autres moyens, et de plus sûrs qu'une police faite dans les conditions où nous sommes placés actuellement, d'avoir raison du brigandage et de la piraterie. Nous sommes assurés que le brigandage et la piraterie diminueront promptement, au moment où l'on et l'autre ne seront plus favorisés et soldés par l'autorité elle-même. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous avons même la pensée, et nous avons quelque raison de le dire, qu'une partie de ces brigands pourraient bien devenir quelque jour les auxiliaires et les instruments de notre police (Mouvements divers), et que cette transformation, qui s'est faite dans des pays plus avancés que le Tonkin, pourrait s'effectuer à peu de frais.\n\nLe protectorat n'est pas un fait nouveau; il est à peu près aussi ancien que l'histoire. Eh bien, il serait peut-être difficile de citer un grand cas où il ait eu ce caractère volontaire que M. Delafosse dit être de son essence.\n\nLa mission, messieurs, est difficile; car, vous le voyez, nos relations avec la cour de Hué ne sont pas bonnes. La cour de Hué est, on peut le dire, à notre égard, non pas sur un pied de guerre, mais sur un pied d'hostilité. Elle a été l'ouvrière de toutes les manoeuvres contre lesquelles nous avons eu à nous prémunir; c'est elle qui a réveillé les prétentions endormies de la Chine; et cependant nous avons cru qu'il était digne de nous, qu'il était conforme non seulement aux convenances, mais à la justice, avant de prendre en mains et par une manière qui doit être cette fois efficace, de régler sa politique intérieure de manière à éviter les complications. C'est là, messieurs, le vrai signe du protectorat, c'est par là qu'il se reconnaît, c'est par là que les auteurs, s'il faut parler des auteurs, le caractérisent, le définissent. Eh bien, ce caractère, je le trouve précisément dans l'article 3 du traité de 1874.\n\nLes droits inhérents au protectorat, indispensables pour maintenir l'ordre, pour prévenir les complications, pour exercer une tutelle effective, ces droits ne résultent donc pas, par voie de conséquence, du traité de 1874; ils y sont inscrits de la manière la plus explicite. Seulement, je dois bien reconnaître que la conduite du gouvernement de Hué a été telle, ses violations du traité de 1874 ont été si répétées et si continues que ce traité, si clair qu'il soit, ne l'est pas encore assez...\n\nUn membre à gauche. Il faut le refaire!\n\nM. le ministre. ...et il est certain - je vous le disais tout à l'heure que, si nous avions, en temps opportun, rappelé dès les premières violations le gouvernement d'Annam à l'accomplissement de ses engagements, c'est-à-dire au sentiment de sa faiblesse; si nous lui avions fait comprendre, d'une manière irréfragable, qu'un traité conclu avec la France ne pouvait pas rester lettre morte, nous aurions ainsi prévenu bien des difficultés.\n\nNous ne l'avons pas fait. Aussi nous sommes-nous trouvés dans la nécessité — il y a déjà assez longtemps, il y a plusieurs années -de demander un complément au traité de 1874; seulement, lorsque le Gouvernement s'est décidé à cette démarche, il était déjà trop tard; notre voix n'était plus écoutée à Hué; on y avait pris le parti de ne plus entendre à rien. On avait conçu l'espérance -malheureuse- assez fondée de nous fatiguer par des difficultés de toute espèce et de nous amener, de guerre lasse, à une retraite définitive.\n\nAussi, lorsque M. Reinhardt, notre envoyé à Hué, s'est présenté, porteur d'une convention complémentaire, on ne peut pas dire qu'il a montré son ordre et n'a rien obtenu, car il n'a pas eu à le montrer, il a été tenu à distance par les ministres, notamment par le ministre des finances de Ta-Duc, notre ennemi de tous les temps, et il n'est point parvenu à voir le souverain.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est arrivé, il y a quelques semaines, lors des derniers incidents militaires du Tonkin. M. Reinhardt, impuissant depuis longtemps, menacé, exposé tous les jours à quelque injure qui eût grande importance...\n\nMessieurs, je ne sais pas si nous avons grande chance d'être cette fois mieux écoutés que nous ne l'avons été jusqu'à présent; peut-être cette démarche ne sera-t-elle pas mieux accueillie à Hué, que les précédentes, moins toutefois que l'échec du coup de main tenté sur la forteresse d'Hanoi, que la prise de Nam-Dinh, que la résolution à laquelle nous nous sommes arrêtés et que, j'espère, vous voudrez bien ratifier; à moins, dis-je, que cette attitude ne produise quelque impression sur l'esprit de Ta-Duc, et cela n'est pas impossible. Nous n'avons pas voulu, en tous cas, appuyer cette démarche par une force militaire; nous ne l'avons pas voulu, messieurs, parce qu'une action accomplie à Hué n'a qu'un très faible effet sur le Tonkin, où les mandarins annamites agissent à leur guise et souvent sans consulter leur souverain, tandis que toute action au Tonkin a son contre-coup et son retentissement immédiat à Hué. Nous ne l'avons pas voulu parce que, s'il fallait exercer quelque pression sur le gouvernement de Hué, nous avons, après tout, des moyens plus simples et plus sûrs de la faire sentir, étant en possession du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire du grenier de l'Annam. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous ne l'avons pas voulu enfin, pour ne pas fournir prétexte à une accusation que nous repoussons; celle de vouloir porter atteinte à l'indépendance de l'Annam. (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.) Je dis l'indépendance, messieurs, parce que, si le protectorat, réduit dans quelque mesure la souveraineté, il réserve l'indépendance. Les preuves en seraient nombreuses; je vous prie de vous rappeler seulement l'article 2 du traité de 1815, qui plaçait les îles Ioniennes sous la protection immédiate du roi de la Grande-Bretagne. Cet article dit en termes formels: Les sept îles forment un Etat libre et indépendant. »\n\nUn membre à droite, Comme aujourd'hui la Tunisie!\n\nMessieurs, ce que nous voulons, ce que nous proposons, c'est d'affermir, de manière à la rendre incontestable et efficace, notre protectorat dans l'Annam, et tout particulièrement au Tonkin. Nous croyons qu'il suffira pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nC'est là qu'il importe de rassurer nos amis et de prévenir les craintes de nos adversaires. Nous avons déjà donné des preuves de notre modération; nous en donnerons encore. Les populations du Tonkin, qui ont sollicité notre protection, savent que nous ne sommes pas des conquérants; elles savent que nous sommes des protecteurs. Elles s'abstiendront de toute velléité de résistance; ils s'en sont déjà abstenus parce qu'ils nous savent forts. Tout cela, messieurs, sans parler d'une autre vérité, s'il n'y avait jamais mis le pied pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nM. le ministre. Messieurs, quel que soit d'ailleurs le succès de notre démarche à Hué...",

        "content_text": "16 Mai (CHAMBRE!\n\nde décourager nos adversaires; c'est là qu'il importe de dissiper toutes les incertitudes et de bien marquer la politique dans laquelle nous entrons. Selon que nos propositions seront accueillies ou qu'elles seront rejetées par le roi d'Annam, il peut y avoir quelque différence dans notre action. Dans le premier cas, notre action sera évidemment pacifique, à moins que nous n'ayons à triompher de la malveillance de quelques fonctionnaires; si, au contraire, nos propositions sont rejetées, nous avons à redouter de très vives protestations, mais d'assez faibles résistances.\n\nEn somme, la différence sera plus apparente que réelle, car le roi d'Annam a accepté solennellement le traité de 1874 et on ne voit pas que cette acceptation ait beaucoup influé sur sa conduite.\n\nLes difficultés ne seront pas plus grandes au regard des puissances étrangères; nous n'avons à craindre l'immixtion de personne; nous savons que les efforts tentés par la cour de Hué pour intéresser dans cette question diverses puissances, ont été absolument et définitivement repoussés.\n\nQuant à la Chine, nous nous en sommes expliqués: nous croyons qu'elle n'a ni la pensée, ni la volonté, ni le droit d'intervenir.\n\nCe qu'il faut donc, messieurs, pour établir, pour affermir notre protectorat, ce qui nous a paru nécessaire, ce qui nous paraît suffisant, c'est de prendre dans la partie la plus peuplée, la plus riche, la plus laborieuse du Tonkin, dans ce delta où se trouvent entassés les sept dixièmes de la population, une position solide; c'est de nous établir sur un certain nombre de points, toujours les mêmes, depuis longtemps désignés par l'expérience, et de nous y établir de manière que, par le nombre de nos soldats, par leur installation, il soit désormais indubitable, même pour les plus sceptiques, que nous sommes au Tonkin d'une manière définitive.\n\nJe sais que ce procédé semble insuffisant à certaines personnes qui voudraient nous voir étendre plus loin notre action. Mais il ne nous convient pas, il ne nous paraît ni sage, ni nécessaire, ni même utile de pénétrer dans des contrées inhospitalières, malsaines et mal peuplées.\n\nJe sais que d'autres, - et M. Georges Perin est de ce nombre, — prédisent que nous ne nous arrêterons pas où nous voulons, que rien que par les nécessités de la police, c'est ce qu'il disait tout à l'heure...\n\nM. Georges Perin. Certainement. M. le ministre, nous devrons poursuivre les brigands, les pirates jusque dans leurs retraites les plus éloignées.\n\nJe lui réponds encore une fois que nous avons la certitude qu'une fois exterminés des seules régions où il y a pour eux des tentations et des ressources, condamnés à mourir de faim, faute de proie, ils seront bien obligés de venir à composition.\n\nLe but et l'effet de cette occupation, c'est d'abord de nous établir en sûreté dans un certain nombre de forteresses qu'il nous serait à la fois nécessaire et difficile de prendre plus tard, si nous négligions de nous en emparer aujourd'hui ou si elles se trouvaient défendues par une force de quelque valeur; c'est de nous fournir une base d'opération derrière laquelle nous puissions attendre, sans trouble et sans inquiétude, le jour certainement prochain, où le roi Ya-Duc reconnaîtra que, s'il veut conserver sa souveraineté sur le Tonkin, s'il veut continuer à recevoir la part de tributs qui lui revient, il n'a rien de mieux à faire que de s'entendre avec nous.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, cette occupation devra rendre l'espérance à nos amis quelque peu découragés, leur donner la certitude qu'ils n'ont plus désormais à craindre les vengeances des mandarins, leurs ennemis.\n\nA propos de cette occupation, il y a quelques observations à faire; je les abrégerai le plus que je pourrai. La première, c'est que nous entendons très fermement que cette occupation ne soit pas pour nous une charge. Non pas que, comme l'a dit M. Georges Perin, nous voulions faire de cette population de 7 à 8 millions d'hommes laborieux et pauvres une colonie d'exploitation. Non, nous ne le voulons pas. Il nous paraît suffisant, pour nous dédommager, d'assurer à notre commerce un vaste champ d'affaires, d'ouvrir une voie nouvelle pour le négoce. Mais, enfin, nous ne sommes pas obligés de faire à nos frais la police du Tonkin. Nous nous sommes engagés par le traité de 1874 à prêter gratuitement, et sur sa demande, au roi Ta-Duc notre concours pour rétablir la paix et la sécurité dans le Tonkin; gratuitement et sur sa demande; mais à une condition qui, sans être énoncée, n'en est pas moins indiscutable: c'est que le roi Ta-Duc ne sera pas le perturbateur de ses États, l'artisan même de désordres qui auraient pour but, sinon pour effet, de rendre notre occupation impossible; la justice, le sens commun, la raison, tout concourt à dire que l'ordre doit être rétabli aux frais de ceux qui l'ont troublé.\n\nJ'ajoute qu'en ce qui touche le recouvrement de nos dépenses, nous avons en main le moyen de l'effectuer. Le traité de commerce, non plus le traité d'amitié -- mais le traité de commerce du 6 août 1874 nous donne le droit d'établir près des receveurs des douanes des fonctionnaires français pour assurer la perception des taxes. Ce droit nous a été confirmé depuis par la nécessité où nous avons été d'avoir nous-mêmes des percepteurs afin de rentrer dans les avances que nous avons faites, au nom de l'Annam, à l'Espagne à laquelle nous avons payé son indemnité de guerre.\n\nNous vous demandons, messieurs, de régulariser cette situation, d'étendre cette organisation; et nous pouvons vous assurer qu'il nous sera très facile de rentrer non seulement dans les dépenses que nous avons déjà faites, mais dans celles que nous allons faire, sans accabler les Tonkinois. Non, comme le croit M. Georges Perin, nous n'avons pas l'intention de les accabler. Lorsque nous sommes amenés par la nécessité de défendre nos intérêts à pénétrer dans un pays barbare, étranger à la civilisation, lorsque nous finissons par être obligés de nous y établir, nous estimons que nous prenons à l'égard de ces populations un véritable engagement; nous contractons envers elles des obligations. Sans nous donner orgueilleusement comme investis d'un apostolat, nous croyons que le moins que nous puissions faire, du moment où notre action se fait sentir, c'est qu'elle s'exerce conformément aux règles de la civilisation qui est la nôtre, conformément aux principes de justice et d'équité sociale, tels que nous les comprenons. (Très bien, très bien !)\n\nNous connaissons à peu près, dès aujourd'hui, le rendement des impôts au Tonkin. Je n'établirai pas cependant, avec M. Georges Perin, une discussion sur ce point. Ce que nous pouvons affirmer, sans les chiffrer, c'est que les dilapidations, les exactions, la déperdition doublent, triplent, décuplent peut-être les charges qui pèsent sur les Tonkinois. Je pourrais vous citer vingt exemples, un seul suffira: la ferme de l'opium, concédée récemment au chiffre de 700,000 francs, a rapporté le même jour au fonctionnaire chargé de la donner une autre somme de 700,000 francs. C'est un exemple entre beaucoup d'autres.\n\nNous croyons, dans tous les cas, sans entrer dans des détails dont les éléments précis nous feraient peut-être défaut à l'heure qu'il est, que nous pouvons augmenter dans une très notable proportion le rendement des impôts, non seulement sans grever, les Tonkinois, mais en leur apportant un soulagement.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nM.

Messieurs, sans allonger la discussion, je rappelle que notre grand économiste Jean-Baptiste Say, après avoir tracé de la compagnie des Indes un tableau qui n'est pas flatteur, en a dressé le bilan, et a constaté, chiffres en main, que les colonies fondées par la force sont, au point de vue économique, dans les mêmes charges, que la meilleure des colonies fondées sur la force.\n\nJe rappelle que l'illustre Charles Comte a établi par des chiffres incontestables la même vérité, et a démontré, pièces en mains, qu'il n'y a pas un pays librement ouvert à notre commerce qui ne nous rapporte plus, et sans les mêmes charges, que la meilleure des colonies fondées sur la force.\n\nFranklin a été plus énergique encore; j'engage ceux qui se récrient à lui demander son avis.\n\nLe chef du bureau du commerce en Angleterre, M. Porter, a fait et exposé devant ses compatriotes, en 1840, la même constatation.\n\nEn 1849, sir Charles Wood, ministre compétent, déclarait devant le Parlement \"que l'époque à plus de 95 millions de livres sterling, la dette consolidée de l'Inde s'élevait à cette époque, c'est-à-dire à 2 milliards et demi de francs pour le moins, à quoi il fallait ajouter la dette flottante et d'autres charges diverses qui portaient le passif à quatre milliards, sans préjudice, pour l'année courante, d'un déficit prévu de plus de 250 millions.\"\n\nM. Paul Bert. C'est pour cela que les Anglais viennent de prendre la Nouvelle-Guinée !\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. Je me contente de ces preuves, et je répète que les colonies véritables, les colonies prospères, productives, enviables, ce ne sont pas les colonies qui se créent manu militari, ce ne sont pas les colonies dans lesquelles on envoie des soldats et pas d'émigrants (C'est très-vrai !), ce sont les colonies dans lesquelles il y a des immigrations naturelles, les colonies dans lesquelles il y a des marchés, des débouchés réellement commerciaux, c'est-à-dire ouverts au commerce par le commerce, et non pas simplement des marchés qui ne sont que des apparences de possessions militaires. (Bruit.)\n\nOn nous parlait tout à l'heure des immenses richesses de ce pays du Tonkin, et, à côté des richesses, on nous montrait des populations malheureuses qui nous appellent, qui soupirent après notre venue, comptant sur la main généreuse de la France pour les délivrer du joug des oppresseurs. On nous montrait aussi ces 400,000 ou 800,000 chrétiens, dont nous avons, paraît-il, à protéger la foi, qui attendent que nous venions les défendre contre l'intolérance des idolâtres maîtres du pays.\n\nEh bien, messieurs, je ne puis pas m'empêcher de me souvenir... La Chambre ne s'étonnera pas si je me borne à donner cette indication... Je ne puis m'empêcher de me souvenir, dis-je, qu'il n'y a pas une conquête, ni dans les temps anciens, ni dans les temps modernes, qui n'ait prétendu, soit se justifier par le droit historique, le seul droit que M. le ministre reconnaisse à la Chine, soit s'appuyer sur les sympathies des populations pour lesquelles la venue de l'étranger était la délivrance.\n\nM. Paul Bert. Il y en a 20,000 qui se sont fait massacrer pour nous !\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. Je n'en veux pas dire davantage; j'ai promis d'être court et je tiens ma promesse. Je ne suis pas, comme M. Georges Perin, un impénitent de l'opposition. Je n'appartiens ni à l'opposition du côté où siège mon honorable collègue, ni à celle du côté où siège l'honorable M. Delafosse.\n\nJe ne me réclame pour dire ce que je dis, pour faire l'effort possible, très pénible, de contrister peut-être un certain nombre de collègues, parmi lesquels je demande à ceux qui sont en face de moi la permission de les compter, je ne me réclame, messieurs, que de ce que je crois la raison et le devoir. (Très bien !)\n\nJe suis convaincu que nous nous engageons dans un inconnu, qui peut bien tourner, - c'est possible, et je le souhaite ardemment, parce que je ne pense pas que les observations que je présente réussissent à entraîner la majorité de la Chambre...\n\nM. Laroche-Joubert. Tant pis !\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. C'est de cette façon que se sont formées les colonies sérieuses, les colonies utiles, les colonies avantageuses à la mère-patrie, les seules qui, au lieu de lui coûter, rapportent ou tout au moins apportent plus qu'elles ne coûtent. C'est ainsi que se sont formées, particulièrement, du jour où elles ont commencé à vivre de leur propre vie et à se développer pour devenir les merveilles qu'elles sont devenues, les grandes colonies de l'Australie, colonies qui, en réalité, sont indépendantes; qui, malgré l'apparence du nom et la suzeraineté lointaine de la reine de la Grande-Bretagne, sont des républiques, de vraies républiques, s'administrant et se gouvernant elles-mêmes, mais restant, parce qu'on respecte leur indépendance, en relations d'amitié, de famille et de nationalité avec la mère-patrie à laquelle elles ne demandent ni soldats, ni impôts.\n\nNous avons, nous, Français, une colonie, une seule, qui soit dans ce cas et qui nous rapporte plus qu'elle ne nous coûte; et c'est une colonie qui ne nous appartient pas : c'est La Plata qui a été nommée tout à l'heure à cette tribune. Là, nous avons des relations commerciales...\n\nM. le rapporteur. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. Là, des Français font des échanges qui leur rapportent et nous rapportent. Nous y importons et nous en exportons. Voilà la véritable colonie.\n\nM. Laroche-Joubert. C'est très vrai, ce que vous dites là !\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. Quant aux colonies qui se créent artificiellement par la force armée, elles ne sont pas, au point de vue économique, et elles ne peuvent pas être des colonies prospères et avantageuses. Et, à d'autres points de vue, ce sont bien souvent des colonies dangereuses.\n\nVous voyez, messieurs, que voilà une précision qui n'est guère précise, et qu'à l'heure où nous sommes, nous ne savons pas nous-mêmes exactement dans quelle situation se trouve le Gouvernement, dans quelle mesure nous sommes engagés et dans quelle mesure la France, par le fait du Gouvernement ou par le nôtre, est et pourra être engagée. (Interruptions.)\n\nCette remarque, à elle seule, me paraît justifier soit ceux qui, comme le disait tout à l'heure M. le ministre à l'adresse de M. Perin, par la persévérance d'une opposition ancienne, croient devoir refuser le vote qui nous est demandé, soit ceux qui, justement préoccupés de l'avenir, se souvenant des entraînements trop nombreux à la suite desquels la France et cette Chambre peut-être se sont trouvées engagées plus avant qu'elles ne l'auraient voulu et qu'elles n'auraient consenti à l'être si elles avaient été averties des conséquences ultérieures, craignent d'engager la responsabilité de leur pays et la leur dans la proportion dans laquelle elle pèse sur chacun de nous dans un avenir qui, quoiqu'on en puisse dire, est l'inconnu. (Très bien sur plusieurs bancs. - Mouvements divers.)\n\nJ'ai dit, messieurs, que je serais très court, et par conséquent je ne veux pas discuter tous les arguments que nous avons entendu apporter à cette tribune ou que nous avons trouvés développés dans le rapport de la commission, mais je ne saurais, tout au moins, m'abstenir de m'associer, de toute mon énergie, à quelques-unes des paroles de l'honorable M. Perin, qui ont tout à l'heure soulevé sur une partie des bancs de la Chambre les plus vives réclamations.\n\nOui, messieurs, il est parfaitement exact...\n\nM. Frédéric Passy. Messieurs, sans allonger la discussion, je rappelle que notre grand économiste Jean-Baptiste Say, après avoir tracé de la compagnie des Indes un tableau qui n'est pas flatteur, en a dressé le bilan, et a constaté, chiffres en main...\n\nM. Blancsubé, rapporteur, se dirige vers la tribune.\n\nVoix nombreuses. Aux voix ! aux voix ! - La clôture !\n\nM. le président. M. Blancsubé a la parole contre la clôture.",

Tricou, le nouvel envoyé extraordinaire et ministre plénipotentiaire de France à Pékin, a quitté Yeddo pour aller remplacer M. Bourée. Avant son départ, il a reçu de l'empereur du Japon le grand cordon de l'Ordre du Chrysanthème.\n\nM. de Kergaradec, envoyé extraordinaire à la cour d'Annam, se trouvait à Saigon le 27 mai, attendant de nouvelles instructions avant de partir pour Hué.\n\nA la même date du 27 mai, M. Harmand, nommé gouverneur civil du Tonkin, avait quitté sa résidence de Bangkok et se trouvait à Singapore, en route pour Saigon.\n\nLes détails que nous avons donnés hier sur les malheureux événements d'Hanoi ne se réfèrent, comme on l'a vu, qu'à la sortie du 18 mai, que le gouvernement savait avoir été projetée dès le 10 mai. On sait maintenant que nos soldats revenaient vainqueurs lorsqu'ils ont été victimes d'une embuscade. L'attaque dirigée sur la citadelle d'Hanoi le 27 mars par le sous-gouverneur de cette ville avait sans doute convaincu le commandant Rivière de la nécessité de cette sortie.\n\nSur l'attaque elle-même et la sortie qui l'avait suivie, des lettres particulières ont apporté quelques détails que voici :\n\nAprès le démantèlement de la citadelle, les hauts mandarins annamites y étaient restés, les Français n'occupant que la pagode royale qui s'y trouve. Le drapeau annamite avait même continué à flotter sur la citadelle. Il paraît que, voulant profiter du départ pour Nam-Dinh de la majeure partie des troupes (il n'était resté dans la pagode qu'une compagnie d'infanterie de marine sous les ordres du capitaine Retrouvey), le sous-gouverneur de la ville projeta de massacrer ou d'expulser les Français.\n\nA cet effet, sortit de la citadelle, se mit en rapport avec le général annamite et prit par une surprise nocturne des mesures que la vigilance du capitaine Retrouvey fit échouer. C'était le 26 mars.\n\nDans la nuit qui suivit, le commandant Berthe de Villers, du Léopard, du voisinage des troupes annamites, fit faire une reconnaissance offensive par deux compagnies d'infanterie de marine et la compagnie de débarquement du Léopard.\n\nL'attaque, dirigée sur le village de Gia Cúc, que des Annamites défendaient avec du canon et derrière un fossé, réussit complètement. Emportés par leur ardeur, marins et soldats arrivèrent ensemble sur le retranchement, en chassèrent l'ennemi qui s'enfuit dans toutes les directions, abandonnant Gia-Cao et le village voisin de Gia-Thuy.\n\nSix canons, des fusils de rempart, des revolvers et des fusils de marques étrangères furent les trophées de la journée, qui nous avait coûté cinq soldats d'infanterie de marine.\n\nLes pièces de 12 et de 14 et les canons revolvers Hotchkiss du Léopard avaient soutenu l'attaque.\n\nLe commandant Rivière adressa aux troupes les deux ordres du jour suivants se référant aux journées de Nam-Dinh et d'Hanoi.\n\nNam-Đinh, le 21 mars 1883.\n\nSoldats et marins,\n\nVous venez de montrer à la prise de la citadelle de Nam-Dinh le même entrain, la même valeur, le même dévouement qu'à la prise de la citadelle d'Hanoi (25 avril 1882).\n\nJe vous confonds les uns et les autres, les anciens comme les nouveaux, dans cet éloge, que votre brave colonel, blessé à votre tête, vous décerne comme moi.\n\nLa patrie, qui vous suit de cœur dans les pays lointains où nous sommes, tressaillera bientôt d'émotion et d'orgueil en apprenant ce que vous avez fait.\n\nVive la France !\n\nHanoi, le 2 avril 1883.\n\nSoldats et marins,\n\nPendant que vos camarades prenaient la citadelle de Nam-Dinh, vous repoussiez ici les troupes annamites et les Drapeaux-Noirs qui attaquaient la pagode et qui se disposaient à investir Hanoi.\n\nVous faisiez plus, vous rejetiez ces troupes sur leurs villages de la rive gauche, et vous les leur enleviez.\n\nA Hanoi et à Nam-Dinh, vous étiez dignes les uns des autres; vous avez tous montré la vaillance, la discipline et l'élan qui font que le soldat est fier de lui-même et que le pays est fier de lui.\n\nVous avez bien agi.\n\nVive la France !\n\nUne lettre adressée au Temps ajoute à ces détails le récit d'un incident assez caractéristique pour que nous le rapportions :\n\nDans sa dernière tournée pastorale, Mgr Puginier, l'évêque catholique du Tonkin, se reposait dans une maison d'un village chrétien lorsque des Annamites et des Chinois vinrent demander au maître de la maison le grand prêtre des Français dans l'intention de lui faire subir le sort de son prédécesseur.\n\nLe Tonkinois les invita en riant à entrer, les engageant à venir voir l'évêque mitré, crossé, vêtu de velours de soie et d'or.\n\nSur cette invitation, les brigands disparurent.\n\n« Noir, dans ce pays, veut dire blanc, » dit après leur départ à Mgr Puginier, qui lui demandait des explications, le Tonkinois satisfait.\n\n« Si j'avais nié que vous fussiez dans ma maison, on y serait entré, on m'aurait coupé la tête et votre mort eût été certaine. »\n\nC 0. 9830\n\nRECP\n\nREGP 1 JU",

Chez quelques-uns de ces journaux, c'est un véritable parti pris, notamment chez quelques feuilles anglaises qui, à toute occasion, sous tous les régimes, non pas seulement aujourd'hui, mais chaque fois que la France tente une entreprise coloniale ou extérieure, ont cherché à l'effrayer sur les dangers qui allaient la menacer.\n\nC'est un courant de ce genre, peu sérieux, et reposant sur rien de solide, que nous rencontrons à l'heure actuelle dans un trop grand nombre de journaux, qui ont eu le tort de recueillir et de reproduire des nouvelles à sensation, des nouvelles alarmantes de toute nature.\n\nJ'ai entendu annoncer l'évacuation de la ville de Hanoï par nos troupes.\n\nOn a représenté sous le jour le plus faux, sous les couleurs les plus contraires à la réalité, la situation, l'organisation véritables de l'empire chinois.\n\nIl faut réagir contre tous ces faits.\n\nIl s'est fait aussi une sorte de légende au sujet d'un traité dont il a déjà été parlé ici, du traité négocié par M. Bourée, sans le connaître, sans en savoir les termes.\n\nM. Buffet. Nous ne le connaissons pas.\n\nM. le comte de Saint Vallier. Et ces affirmations ont été telles que, pour ma part, j'en ai été fort ému et qu'aussitôt élu membre de votre commission pour l'examen de la demande de crédit, j'ai pressé M. le ministre des affaires étrangères de nous communiquer le texte de ce traité.\n\nLe ministre a déféré à cette demande, et, après examen, la commission a estimé qu'il y avait des clauses inacceptables.\n\nM. le président. N'interrompez pas, messieurs.\n\nM. le comte de Saint-Vallier. Vous êtes un peu impatients, messieurs, permettez-moi de continuer.\n\nUn des objets qu'avait en vue la commission était de réclamer cette communication devant le Sénat.\n\nNotre agent à Pékin avait consenti à certaines conditions qui ont amené la France au Tonkin, sauf une zone à délimiter qui devait amener son rappel.\n\nNous avons pu déjà donner l'ordre de départ à certaines troupes ; de plus, nous avons l'espérance qu'avant la fin du mois de juin, le Chasseur et les transports qu'il porte seront arrivés au Tonkin.\n\nAu commencement du mois de juillet, il y aura sur les lieux des forces imposantes, suffisantes, nous l'espérons, pour parer à toute éventualité et même pour mener à bien l'entreprise que nous avons commencée.\n\nJe comprends, dis-je, que des esprits sincères désirent savoir à quoi s'en tenir ; je comprends qu'ils sollicitent et qu'ils attendent du Gouvernement une explication.\n\nEn terminant, messieurs, qu'il me soit permis de rappeler les derniers mots du discours qu'il y a deux mois et demi j'ai prononcé ici sur cette même question du Tonkin.\n\nUn malheur cruel est arrivé, messieurs ; une vaillante petite troupe placée dans une situation qui fixait sur elle depuis quinze mois tous les yeux et tous les cœurs a été mutilée.\n\nCes braves ont péri, selon toute vraisemblance, dans une embuscade.\n\nNotre politique au Tonkin n'a pas été seulement mauvaise, elle a été hésitante, irréfléchie, incohérente, marquée par de continuels changements et les résolutions les plus contradictoires.\n\nJe ne puis plus dire maintenant au Gouvernement, comme le 13 mars dernier : « Agissez promptement, ou retirez nos troupes ! »\n\nCe coup nous atteignant à une pareille heure, dans un moment où nous nous occupions, vous savez avec quelle ardeur, des affaires du Tonkin, a produit et devait produire une profonde émotion.\n\nIl n'était pas fait pour ébranler notre confiance dans le succès et le succès prochain de notre juste entreprise.\n\nM. le comte de Tréverret. La curiosité est bien légitime en pareille matière.\n\nM. le comte de Saint Vallier. Le ministre a fait connaître ce traité à la commission.\n\nM. le vicomte de Lorgeril. Nous ne le connaissons pas.\n\nM. le président. N'interrompez pas, monsieur de Lorgeril.\n\nM. le comte de Saint-Vallier. Je viens demander ce que vous réclamez, je viens en demander la production.\n\nJe cite ce fait pour vous montrer le développement pris par ce courant de fausses nouvelles.\n\nJe crois que le Gouvernement peut donner quelques explications, quelques indications de nature à faire tomber ces rumeurs alarmantes et à rassurer l'opinion.\n\nCe qu'on a le plus exploité pour tenter d'alarmer, c'est la prétendue déclaration d'une guerre avec la Chine.\n\nOn a annoncé que des troupes chinoises embarqueraient pour le Tonkin.\n\nJe viens dire : « Agissez, et agissez vigoureusement et sans perdre une heure ; pas de demi-mesures, pas de dispositions insuffisantes ; prenez toutes les mesures nécessaires. »\n\nNous espérons, messieurs, que les forces déjà envoyées suffiront ; si elles ne suffisent pas, nous n'hésiterions pas à venir vous demander les moyens de faire un nouvel effort.\n\nNous avons la certitude que vous ne les refuseriez pas.\n\nIl y a des heures où toutes les divisions tombent, où toutes les volontés s'unissent dans un même sentiment, celui d'un devoir patriotique à accomplir.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nM. Challemel Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères. Messieurs, le jour même où a été voté définitivement le projet de loi sur le Tonkin, le Gouvernement, en présence de la nouvelle douloureuse qui venait de lui parvenir, avait un devoir impérieux à remplir.\n\nIl devait hâter le plus possible l'exécution de la loi et prendre immédiatement toutes les mesures nécessaires pour assurer la protection de nos troupes.\n\nJe réponds à la question qui m'a été posée par M. le comte de Saint-Vallier ; c'est celle qui concerne nos relations avec la Chine et le traité que nous n'avons pas accepté.\n\nQuoique les deux Chambres soient indépendantes et séparées, elles ne sont cependant pas à ce point que ce qui se dit devant l'une d'elles soit ignoré de l'autre.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, que plusieurs navires ont déjà appareillé, emportant un nombre considérable d'hommes.\n\nLe ministre avait demandé au rapporteur de n'en pas citer les clauses à la tribune.\n\nAujourd'hui, en présence de l'émotion qui s'est produite, j'ai demandé à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères s'il croyait toujours nécessaire de maintenir le secret sur ces clauses.\n\nLe second point à remarquer, c'est qu'il n'y a jamais eu de traité, c'est qu'il n'y a pas eu même de convention proprement dite.\n\nIl y a eu des pourparlers prolongés qui ont abouti à un projet d'arrangement sur des bases vaguement esquissées et qui ont été, présentées au Gouvernement sous des formes diverses et peu concordantes entre elles.\n\nIl a été stipulé, en premier lieu, que les troupes chinoises qui se trouvaient au Tonkin se retireraient vers le nord, dans leurs provinces respectives.\n\nM. Bourée a entamé ces négociations sous l'empire d'une pensée que nous considérons comme très exagérée : c'est qu'à cette époque, c'est-à-dire en octobre et en novembre 1882, une guerre entre la Chine et la France au sujet du Tonkin était imminente, inévitable.\n\nC'est cette espèce de memorandum qui, dans une série de paragraphes numérotés, contenait les différentes conditions de l'arrangement qui avait été discuté et à peu près convenu entre notre ministre à Pékin et le vice-roi de Pé-Tchi-Li.\n\nL'exposé de ces conditions ne présentait d'ailleurs aucune précision ; il était mêlé de considérations, de discussions, de justifications qui n'étaient pas de nature à la rendre plus claire.\n\nOn pouvait en dégager trois ou quatre conditions qui, toutes, nous paraissaient alors, et qui, à l'heure où nous sommes, après ce que nous savons, nous paraissent encore inacceptables.\n\nNous n'avions aucune vue d'annexion sur le Yunnan.\n\nDa quel droit la Chine nous demandait-elle une pareille déclaration ? En quelle obligation avions-nous de la lui faire ?\n\nQuoi qu'il en soit, les troupes chinoises se sont retirées du Tonkin.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n237\n\n645\n\n3 Juin [SÉNAT]\n\n...\n\nPage 646\n\n...\n\nPage 647\n\n...\n\nPage 648\n\n...\n\nPage 649\n\n...\n\nPage 650\n\n...\n\nPage 651\n\n...\n\nPage 652\n\n...\n\nPage 653\n\n...\n\nPage 654\n\n...\n\nPage 655\n\n...\n\nPage 656\n\n...\n\nPage 657\n\n...\n\nPage 658\n\n...\n\nPage 659\n\n...\n\nPage 660\n\n...\n\nPage 661\n\n...\n\nPage 662\n\n...\n\nPage 663\n\n...\n\nPage 664\n\n...\n\nPage 665\n\n...\n\nPage 666\n\n...\n\nPage 667\n\n...\n\nPage 668\n\n...\n\nPage 669\n\n...\n\nPage 670\n\n...\n\nPage 671\n\n...\n\nPage 672\n\n...\n\nPage 673\n\n...\n\nPage 674\n\n...\n\nPage 675\n\n...\n\nPage 676\n\n...\n\nPage 677\n\n...\n\nPage 678\n\n...\n\nPage 679\n\n...\n\nPage 680\n\n...\n\nPage 681\n\n...\n\nPage 682\n\n...\n\nPage 683\n\n...\n\nPage 684\n\n...\n\nPage 685\n\n...\n\nPage 686\n\n...\n\nPage 687\n\n...\n\nPage 688\n\n...\n\nPage 689\n\n...\n\nPage 690\n\n...\n\nPage 691\n\n...\n\nPage 692\n\n...\n\nPage 693\n\n...\n\nPage 694\n\n...\n\nPage 695\n\n...\n\nPage 696\n\n...\n\nPage 697\n\n...\n\nPage 698\n\n...\n\nPage 699\n\n...\n\nPage 700\n\n...",

Est-ce par suite de l'exécution de la condition à laquelle notre ministre avait consenti, ou n'est-ce pas par la vertu tout autrement sensible des mesures sucrées qu'à la même date le gouverneur de la Cochinchine prescrivait au commandant Rivière? Il est difficile de le dire. Les deux opinions ont été discutées et ont chacune leur vraisemblance, selon moi, d'ailleurs, tout à fait inégale.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nCette condition était celle qui, dans la pensée de M. Bourée, devait équivaloir à l'ouverture du Yun-Nan.\n\nNous n'avons pu, messieurs, avec quelque soin que nous l'ayons examinée, y voir autre chose que la remise aux mains de la Chine de la clé même de la navigation du fleuve Rouge. Par cette clause, nous disposions, sans droit, sans raison, contrairement à la justice, contrairement au traité de 1874, d'un territoire qui ne nous appartenait pas. Tout, messieurs, dans cette partie de la convention M. Bourée fit les déclarations qu'on lui demandait; il les fit au mois de novembre, sans autorisation, sans instruction préalable, spontanément, sous sa responsabilité. Il écrivit une lettre d'un ton et dans des termes qu'il nous serait, encore aujourd'hui, impossible d'accepter.\n\nLes troupes chinoises étaient au Tonkin, elles y étaient entrées sans droit; leur présence y était une menace pour les nôtres et constituait une violation formelle d'un territoire dont nous avions la défense. Eh bien, M. Bourée sollicitait le retrait des troupes chinoises, et voici dans quels termes: «Mon Gouvernement trouverait un gage significatif du bon vouloir de la Chine et de la confiance qu'elle accorderait à nos loyales déclarations, si elle consentait à reporter vers le Nord les troupes impériales venues du Kouang-Si et du Yun-Nan, et dont la présence dans le cercle des opérations que nos colonnes volantes doivent entreprendre contre les bandes aux pavillons noirs ou jaunes pourrait donner lieu à d'embarrassantes difficultés. Quelles ne seraient pas, en effet, les conséquences d'une méprise qui porterait nos soldats à attaquer ceux de l'Empereur?»\n\nQuoiqu'il fût très vrai que nous n'en voulions nullement à la souveraineté territoriale du roi d'Annam, et que nous n'avions pas l'intention de conquérir ou de nous annexer le Tonkin, quoique cela fût vrai, M. Bourée n'en faisait pas moins une déclaration, à laquelle rien ne l'obligeait, qu'on n'avait aucun droit d'exiger de lui. Quoiqu'il fût aussi très vrai que nous ne voulions qu'appliquer purement et simplement le traité passé, il y a neuf ans, avec le roi Tu-Duc et dont nous avions donné communication au gouvernement impérial, sans que, de ce chef, aucune protestation, aucune objection même nous eût été opposée depuis, M. Bourée, indépendamment d'une déclaration qu'on n'avait nulle raison de lui demander, se livrait à des protestations encore plus inacceptables lorsqu'il disait: «Votre altesse me dit aujourd'hui que la Chine a un droit de suzeraineté sur l'Annam, mais c'est là un point qui n'est nullement mis en cause, et je ne vois pas quel intérêt il y aurait à le discuter puisque rien dans notre conduite n'implique la méconnaissance du principe que vous voulez bien rappeler.» (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.)\n\nSi nous avions souscrit à ce langage, si nous avions approuvé de pareilles déclarations, de pareilles protestations, n'est-il pas vrai? nous aurions, par cette approbation, déchiré ou à peu près le traité de 1874, c'est-à-dire le véritable titre sur lequel nous nous appuyons.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, quelle était la première condition de l'arrangement accepté par M. Bourée. Il y en avait une seconde, par laquelle il était convenu que la ville tonkinoise de Lao-Kai, terminus naturel de la navigation ascendante du fleuve Rouge, serait remise à la Chine, qui y établirait une douane, qui la considérerait comme lui appartenant, et de telle sorte, dit la dépêche de M. Bourée, que les produits étrangers ayant franchi cette barrière se trouveraient placés au delà, sous le régime ordinaire de tous les produits qui ont pénétré dans l'intérieur de la Chine par les ports ouverts.\n\nIl y en avait une troisième qui donnait lieu à des objections d'un autre ordre, mais selon nous, également fortes.\n\n233\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\n... un point parmi les informations relatives à ce traité, et donnant par suite plus de force à l'arrangement que notre agent à Pékin avait accepté, auxquelles nous n'avons pas cru devoir souscrire et dont l'acceptation parait avoir été complètement sauvegardée. M. Bourée ne nous a pas paru avoir près du gouvernement chinois une autorité suffisante pour parler au nom de la France.\n\nEt le ministre de la marine ajoutait:\n\nNous les avons repoussées parce qu'elles nous ont paru dangereuses, illusoires et parfaitement destructives du traité de 1874. Si nous les avions acceptées, vous auriez eu droit de nous demander, et certainement plus d'un d'entre vous en aurait usé, ce que nous faisions des traités que nous étions chargés de maintenir, de quel droit nous permettions de mettre à néant la signature de la France.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nM. de Gavardie: Il fallait l'y laisser... (Rumeurs à gauche.) Comment ne peut-on pas dire cela?\n\n(Voix à gauche: Non! - N'interrompez pas M. le ministre....)\n\nLorsque nous avons nommé, pour la remplacer, un agent d'un esprit conciliant, d'une rare intelligence, et que nous lui avons donné pour mission de se montrer large et facile à toutes les ouvertures qui pourraient lui être faites; nous voulions donner un nouveau témoignage de nos bonnes dispositions.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé, lequel n'avait de limite que les engagements que nous avons pris et les engagements qui ont été contractés envers nous, et je dois dire qu'à cette heure rien ne nous donne lieu de croire qu'on nourrisse en Chine la pensée d'une rupture.\n\nCar, messieurs, il ne faut pas s'y tromper. Et ces conventions, messieurs, si longuement élaborées et qui inspiraient de telles armes, ces conventions auxquelles notre ministre à Pékin attachait une valeur que nous pouvions leur reconnaître, il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été acceptées par le gouvernement chinois; il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été souscrites.\n\nVous avez pu lire, il y a quelques jours, dans un journal conservateur, une conversation, très probablement authentique et qu'on n'a point démentie, entre un diplomate en Chine, de laquelle il résulte clairement que si ces conventions ont été soumises à l'examen du Tsong-li-Yamen, il n'y a jamais donné son approbation.\n\nEt quand même ces lignes n'existeraient pas, je demande, messieurs, ce que c'est que toutes ces négociations, toutes ces transactions, toutes ces conventions avec la Chine, si elles ne sont pas, en fait, la reconnaissance d'un droit que la Chine ne peut posséder sans que nous n'en ayons plus aucun au Tonkin...\n\nLe télégramme du 29 décembre, parmi les lignes qui sont un démenti formel à cette assertion, lignes décisives, à moins qu'elles ne soient absolument dépourvues de sens, contenait une condition dont il donnait une idée, et c'était, à coup sûr, la plus séduisante, qu'il énonçait en ces termes: Reconnaissance du protectorat de la France au Tonkin, sauf sur une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière.\n\nCette reconnaissance, c'était déjà beaucoup que de l'accepter, car on reconnaissait ainsi implicitement à la Chine le droit de la refuser. Mais on conçoit toutefois que le désir de donner à un grand empire fier de sa population et de son territoire immense, jaloux de conserver les souvenirs de son passé, une satisfaction morale et de maintenir à ce prix les bonnes relations que nous avions avec lui, on conçoit parfaitement qu'un pareil désir eût conduit notre agent à accepter une pareille clause.\n\nOn conçoit de même que, si une rectification de frontières paraissait nécessaire à la Chine pour sa sûreté, notre agent s'engageât, en notre nom, à l'obtenir du roi d'Annam.\n\nMais il n'était plus question d'une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière, il s'agissait en réalité de diviser toute la région qui est au nord du fleuve Rouge par une ligne de démarcation à tracer en des points qui n'étaient pas déterminés, la partie au nord de cette ligne devant être placée sous l'autorité de la Chine, celle qui est au sud devant rester sous la police de la France.\n\nCe n'était pas la reconnaître le protectorat de la France, c'était purement et simplement le partager. Or, nous voulons bien être les amis de la Chine, et c'est précisément pour cette raison que, loin de nourrir la pensée d'attenter à l'intégrité de son territoire, nous ne voulons pas même être ses voisins immédiats, séparés d'elle par une ligne simplement idéale.\n\nNous voulons vivre avec la Chine en bons termes, sur le pied de relations cordiales, et c'est pour cela que nous ne pouvions accepter une coopération qui aurait ouvert la porte à mille manœuvres, qui nous aurait imposé des charges dont il était impossible de mesurer le poids, qui aurait ouvert une source intarissable de prétentions rivales, de démêlés et de conflits.\n\nNous ne pouvions pas souscrire à cette condition.\n\nIl y avait un quatrième point sur lequel je n'ai pas à m'appesantir, à savoir que cet état de choses serait placé sous la garantie commune de la France et de la Chine. Je ne m'y arrête pas parce que, en présence de ce qui se passe, de ce que nous savons aujourd'hui, en présence de la connivence qui n'a jamais cessé entre l'Annam et la Chine, une pareille condition a vraiment quelque chose de dérisoire.\n\nTelles étaient, messieurs, les conditions de...\n\nà peine ces pourparlers étaient-ils terminés que, dans une lettre d'un caractère extrêmement courtois - c'est M. Bourée qui le dit - nous devons l'en croire, car il n'a pas cru devoir nous faire connaître cette lettre - le Tsong-li-Yamen faisait des contre-propositions qui bouleversaient de fond en comble le travail accompli; il ne s'agissait plus de convention, de traité; de quoi s'agissait-il donc? Il s'agissait d'une conférence dans laquelle aurait été admis un plénipotentiaire annamite et dont les membres auraient été nommés d'un commun accord entre les gouvernements de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nA peine les conventions que je viens de vous exposer sommairement, avaient-elles commencé à transpirer; à peine étaient-elles connues que, parmi les indigènes, d'une part, et nos nationaux en Chine et en Cochinchine, d'autre part, il n'y eut qu'un cri; on y vit aussitôt l'indice de notre prochain départ, le triste prélude de l'abandon définitif d'une entreprise que nous poursuivions depuis neuf ans.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine, interprète de ces sentiments, adressait, à la date du 20 février, le jour même où nous entrions aux affaires, au ministre des affaires étrangères, une lettre où ces inquiétudes faisaient jour, dans un langage caractéristique.\n\nLes journaux de Chine, disait cette lettre, publient à propos du projet de traité conclu entre notre ministre et le Tsong-li-Yamen; je ne relèverai pas leurs insinuations, qui ont provoqué dans l'opinion un mouvement que je ne saurais trop appeler sur ce point votre haute attention.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut bien qu'on sache que partout où s'élèvera entre la France et une puissance quelconque un démêlé, nous nous montrerons pressés de chercher les moyens de l'aplanir et heureux de les trouver.\n\nSi la Chine croît avoir au Tonkin d'autres intérêts que ceux de son commerce, ceux de la sécurité et de l'ordre que nous sommes chargés d'y rétablir, nous n'avons jamais eu la pensée de nous refuser a priori à toute proposition d'arrangement qui serait compatible avec nos droits.\n\nNous savons tenir compte de la dignité du gouvernement d'un peuple immense et du prix qu'il peut être forcé d'attacher à de certaines concessions flatteuses pour son orgueil national.\n\nLorsque nous avons rappelé M. Bourée, nous avons, néanmoins, maintenu à son égard une attitude conciliante.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé...\n\nLa Chine, messieurs, désire être en sûreté chez elle et elle a raison. Certes, si elle est exposée à quelques périls, en butte à quelques menaces, ce ne sera pas de notre côté. S'il lui convient d'ouvrir au commerce de l'Occident ses provinces du midi, nous en serons heureux; s'il lui convient mieux de rester hermétiquement fermée aux produits et aux influences de l'Europe, nous n'avons rien à dire, mais ce que nous ne pourrions admettre, c'est que, hors la Chine, nous ayons à compter avec l'empire du Milieu.\n\nNous avons la ferme confiance que la Chine, dont les intérêts au Tonkin sont non pas opposés mais identiques aux nôtres, ne se laissera pas entraîner à une immixtion que nous ne pourrions pas supporter.\n\nNous savons, messieurs, qu'on travaille à exciter la Chine et nous savons qui l'excite. (Très bien! à gauche. Mouvement.)\n\nNous voyons des passions, qu'on devait croire assoupies pour toujours, se réveiller avec violence. Nous espérons qu'à force de sang-froid, de patience, de mesure, nous aurons raison de ces passions, nous ferons tomber cette colère apparente, nous donnerons à cette fumée le temps de se dissiper.\n\nNous pensons aussi que la Chine ne se laissera pas entraîner.\n\nSur ce point, je dois l'avouer, il s'est élevé entre nous et notre ancien ministre en Chine une différence d'appréciation. La nôtre, messieurs, repose sur des informations multipliées, approfondies, impartiales.\n\nOn a bien dit tout ce que disent nos agents en Chine, l'opinion unanime de tous ceux qui ont vécu dans ce pays, qui l'ont parcouru, qui l'ont habité et observé, et les aveux même des fonctionnaires chinois de l'ordre le plus élevé, tout cela ne signifie rien, tout cela est sans valeur ou bien il est avéré, il est certain que la Chine, sa sécurité garantie et son amour-propre mis à couvert, n'aura pas la pensée d'intervenir dans une affaire où elle n'a ni droit ni intérêt.\n\n(Très bien! très bien! et applaudissements prolongés à gauche.)\n\nDÉPÔT DE RAPPORT\n\nM. le président: M. Gouin a la parole pour le dépôt d'un rapport.\n\nM. Gouin: J'ai l'honneur de déposer sur le bureau du Sénat un rapport fait au nom de la commission des finances sur un projet de...",

J'ai l'honneur de déposer sur le bureau du Sénat un rapport fait au nom de la commission des finances, chargée d'examiner le projet de loi adopté par la Chambre des députés, portant approbation d'un traité passé entre le président du conseil, ministre de l'instruction publique et des beaux-arts, et M. Janssen, armurier à Liège.\n\nA gauche. Lisez ! Lisez !\n\nM. le rapporteur, lisant. Messieurs, un décret du 21 février 1883 a autorisé :\n\nD'une part, le département des finances (direction générale des domaines) à céder à titre gratuit à la mission de M. Savorgnan de Brazza 100,000 armes à percussion à canon lisse, de modèles divers hors d'usage, à prélever sur les armes de cette catégorie, provenant de marchés résiliés ;\n\nD'autre part, le ministre de la guerre, à céder, au même titre, à la même mission, des armes, des sabres, de la poudre, des capsules, des tentes, etc., suivant l'énumération contenue audit décret.\n\nUn projet de loi a été soumis par le Gouvernement à la Chambre des députés, le 22 février 1883, dans le but de ratifier ces diverses cessions.\n\nAnnée 138)\nArt. 1er. Est approuvée la convention annexée à la présente loi, passée le 8 mars 1883 entre le président du conseil, ministre de l'instruction publique et des beaux-arts, et M. J. Janssen, fabricant d'armes à Liège.\nArt. 2. — L'enregistrement de ladite convention donnera lieu à la perception du droit fixe de 3 fr.\n\nJ'ai l'honneur, d'accord avec le Gouvernement, de demander l'urgence et la discussion immédiate.\n\nJe ne crois pas avoir besoin d'insister. Le projet n'est que la suite et la conséquence de celui que vous venez d'adopter.\n\nComme cette convention ne doit devenir définitive que lorsqu'elle aura été ratifiée par le Parlement, il est utile, il est même indispensable, puis-je dire, qu'elle soit approuvée dans le plus bref délai possible.\n\nM. le président. Je mets aux voix l'urgence qui est demandée par la commission d'accord avec le Gouvernement. (L'urgence est déclarée.)\n\nM. le président. Je consulte le Sénat sur la discussion immédiate qui est demandée par vingt de nos collègues, dont voici les noms :\n\nMM. Clamageran, Merlin, Jacques, Eugène Gouin, Casimir Fournier, Edouard Millaud, Ribière, Léon Say, Huguet, Calmon, Denormandie, Labordère, Lacomme, Vigaroux, Adam, Edouard Charton, Frézoul, Labiche, Boucher-Cadart, Tenaille Saligny.\n\n(La discussion immédiate est prononcée.)\n\nM. le président. Personne ne demandant la parole pour la discussion générale, je consulte le Sénat sur la question de savoir s'il entend passer à la discussion des articles.\n\n(Le Sénat décide qu'il passe à la discussion des articles.)\n\nAprès avoir fait examiner les fusils à céder par le ministre des finances, M. de Brazza a reconnu que ces armes ne pouvaient servir en l'état à la mission qu'il a entreprise, des peuplades sauvages auxquelles elles sont destinées n'ayant jamais fait usage de fusils à percussion et à capsules. Il a demandé, dès lors, qu'on mît à sa disposition des fusils à système qui seuls pouvaient être employés utilement à des dons ou échanges.\n\nD'autre part, M. de Brazza a reconnu que la quantité des armes offertes excédait les besoins de la mission et qu'il y avait tout avantage à en échanger une partie contre des armes de chasse et de munitions pouvant servir au personnel européen ou noir des postes ou stations du Congo.\n\nM. le président. Je donne lecture de l'article 1er.\n\nArt. 1er.

Ces pièces ont été d'ailleurs heureusement ramenées, et la retraite s'est effectuée en bon ordre, sous le commandement de M. le lieutenant de vaisseau de Marolles.\n\nNous avons eu en tout quatre officiers, dont Rivière, onze soldats et dix-huit marins tués, sept officiers, vingt-quatre marins et vingt soldats blessés; parmi les blessés, le commandant Berthe de Villers a succombé le jour même à ses blessures; les autres officiers sont en voie de guérison.\n\nLe gouverneur de la Cochinchine n'a pas encore reçu du Tonkin la liste des hommes tués et blessés, il a l'ordre de la télégraphier dès qu'elle lui sera parvenue.\n\nNous avons ramené tous nos blessés, mais les morts ont été laissés sur le champ de bataille; l'ennemi les a emportés à Son-Tay, Bac Ninh et Phu-Hoai.\n\nC'est après un défi semblable adressé à Garnier par le même Lu Vinh Phuoc, que cet officier, aussi brave qu'imprudent, trouva la mort dans des circonstances pareilles.\n\nLes Pavillons-Noirs ont perdu 113 hommes, dont le second commandant.\n\nLa situation d'Hanoi est rassurante; les communications avec Hai-Phong sont libres. Les deux premières compagnies de renfort, arrivées de Cochinchine, sont parties de Hai-Pong, le 27 mai. Un bataillon de marche et une batterie de montagne, expédiés de Saigon, le 26, ont dû arriver à Hai-Pong quatre jours après. De Nam-Dinh, le commandant Bates avait signalé qu'il est en état de \"repousser toute attaque.\"",

La direction de l'agence Havas, ayant télégraphié à son représentant à Moscou d'aller rendre visite au marquis de Tseng, ambassadeur de Chine, à Paris, a reçu, cette nuit, la dépêche suivante, qu'elle croit devoir publier sans y rien changer.\n\n« Moscou, le 5 juin.\n\nJe me suis présenté ce matin chez le marquis de Tseng, et lui ai expliqué franchement le but de ma visite.\n\nLe marquis de Tseng a fait preuve de la plus grande bienveillance dans cet entretien; voici le résumé exact de ses réponses au sujet du Tonkin et de l'attitude de la Chine!\n\nLes relations diplomatiques ne sont pas rompues entre la France et la Chine. \"La Chine ne veut aucunement une rupture; mais, en fait, les relations entre les deux pays semblent interrompues, le gouvernement français s'étant abstenu de répondre depuis longtemps aux Notes de l'ambassadeur de Chine, et M. Bourée ayant été rappelé sans que son successeur ait été désigné.\n\n» La mission dont est chargé M. Tricou étant simplement provisoire, ces relations seront certainement rompues si la France agit au Tonkin sans entente préalable avec la Chine, parce que le Tonkin dépend du royaume d'Annam, sur lequel la Chine revendique des droits de suzeraineté qu'elle croit incontestables.\n\n• M. de Tseng ne croit pas au succès de la mission de M. Tricou, par le motif que M. Tricou ne peut faire à la Chine que des propositions moins favorables que celles du traité Bourée. Or, ce dernier traité, négocié et conclu entre M. Bourée et le général Li-Hung-Chang, vice-roi des provinces du Sud, aurait été certainement rejeté par le gouvernement chinois si la France n'avait pris les devants.\n\n• M. de Tseng estime que, si la France poursuit au Tonkin le projet exposé à la Chambre des Députés, il est possible que la guerre n'éclate pas entre la France et la Chine, mais cette action créera une situation dangereuse.\n\n» Le gouvernement chinois désire profondément empêcher une rupture complète, et il est disposé à aller aussi loin que possible dans la voie des concessions pour empêcher une telle situation de se produire; malheureusement il y a deux partis en Chine: celui de la paix et celui de la guerre. Or, le parti de la guerre a gagné beaucoup de terrain, surtout depuis les derniers événements, et il est assez puissant pour entraîner le gouvernement chinois.\n\n» Le marquis de Tseng est partisan de la paix; il fera, quant à lui, tous ses efforts dans le sens de la conciliation,\n\n» Interrogé sur les vues propres du gouvernement chinois relativement à l'entente possible de la France et de la Chine, M. de Tseng déclare que la Chine est décidée à reconnaître le traité de 1862 entre la France et l'Annam; il ajoute que, suivant son opinion personnelle, la Chine, dans les circonstances actuelles, serait également disposée à reconnaître le traité de 1874, étant bien entendu toutefois:\n\n» 1° Que le droit d'intervention de la France pour le maintien de l'ordre ne devrait s'exercer que sur la demande de l'empereur d'Annam, et cela d'ailleurs conformément aux clauses du traité;\n\n2° Que le traité ne serait pas considéré comme excluant la suzeraineté de la Chine sur l'Annam.\n\nM. de Tseng croit, de plus, que le gouvernement chinois consentirait à ouvrir largement le Yunnan au commerce français; mais il pense que la Chine n'irait pas au-delà de ces concessions.\n\nInterrogé sur la résistance que la France pourrait rencontrer au Tonkin, M. de Tseng affirme que, pour atteindre le but tel qu'il a été exposé à la Chambre des Députés, la France devra, même si la Chine n'intervient pas, et uniquement pour vaincre les résistances et les difficultés locales, faire en hommes et en argent dix fois plus de sacrifices qu'il n'en a été proposé.\n\nL'ambassadeur de Chine, en terminant cet entretien, a exprimé le désir que la presse consacre ses efforts à amener la conciliation entre les deux pays, afin d'éviter une rupture. »\n\nuin\n\n10132\n\nREOP\n\nREGE 14 JU“ 6\n\n234\n\nA",

Le budget local de notre colonie de Cochinchine pour l'année 1883, que nous avons sous les yeux, vaut certainement quelques moments d'attention.\n\nLes ressources proviennent des taxes suivantes: l'impôt foncier des centres prélevé sur les terrains de Saigon (ville et banlieue) de Cholou, de Mitho-Vinblong et de Sockang, l'impôt qui comprend les rizières et les cultures diverses (les cultures d'indigo et de coton sont exemptes d'impôt; les salines en supportent un); - l'impôt personnel des Annamites; celui des barques de rivière et de mer; la contribution des patentes (hors des arrondissements de Cholou et de Saigon, les Français en sont exempts, de même les Asiatiques vendant du pain fabriqué à la française et de la viande de bœuf, s'ils ne cumulent pas cette profession avec une autre); l'impôt de capitation des Asiatiques étrangers (les Asiatiques et Africains, sujets français, en sont exempts); - les produits des domaines (vente de terrains et de matériels); les produits des forêts (exploitation et produits divers); - l'enregistrement et les hypothèques; les droits d'ancrage et de phare; les droits d'entrepôt des huiles minérales; la location des bacs et des pêcheries; - l'exploitation des nids d'hirondelles; les droits sur l'opium; - les droits sur les alcools importés (permis de débarquement, droits d'entrepôt, droits d'embarquement ou de transbordement); droits sur les alcools fabriqués; droits de sortie sur les riz, les bœufs, les buffles, les armes, les poudres, etc.; droits postaux et télégraphiques; - amendes, saisies, frais de poursuite et de justice; droits divers; permis d'armes, passeports, duplicatas de livrets et cartes de barque, cartes d'entrée des immigrés, duplicatas de cartes de séjour, produit du travail des condamnés, remboursement par les villages du prix de construction de leurs marchés, produit de l'imprimerie et des annonces, et vérification des poids et mesures.\n\nLe total de toutes ces recettes ordinaires a été évalué pour 1883 à 4,448,676 piastres (la valeur de la piastre, déterminée par le gouvernement est de 4 fr. 68 c.; le budget doit être établi en piastres), y compris les recettes extraordinaires, c'est-à-dire le produit des douanes du Tonkin estimé à 20,000 piastres. Comparé au chiffre prévu pour 1882, il y a une diminution de 224,530 piastres. Cette diminution résulte de l'abandon d'une partie des recettes à la municipalité de Saigon et aux budgets d'arrondissement et du moindre produit des droits sur l'opium et de la régie des alcools.\n\nLe projet de dépenses pour 1883 arrête celles-ci en équilibre avec les recettes à la somme de 4,448,676 piastres. Elles sont réparties sur 21 chapitres qui sont, les uns en diminution, les autres en augmentation sur l'année 1882. L'administration centrale et intérieure, la justice, les télégraphes et les postes, les services financiers et pénitentiaires ont des crédits plus élevés; le chapitre 20 a subvention à la métropole reste fixé à 411,214 piastres; les autres chapitres subissent des diminutions. L'administration des contributions indirectes (régie de l'opium, des riz et des alcools) absorbe 698,000 piastres.\n\nSur le chiffre total des dépenses 1,111,411 piastres sont affectées aux travaux publics, bâtiments et voies de communication. Par suite de prélèvements opérés pour les frais de premier établissement de la régie d'opium, pour la liquidation de l'exercice 1881 et pour le payement de l'indemnité espagnole (741,252 piastres), les fonds de la caisse de réserve, qui s'élevaient au 2 janvier 1882 à 1,615,018 piastres, se trouvaient réduits le 1 janvier 1883 à 430,218 piastres.\n\n1883\n\n235\n\nC.

        "content_text": "305\n\n544 25 Mai [SÉNAT]\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nsant exécuter les traités à l'aide desquels nous pouvons réaliser l'affermissement et l'extension légitime de notre situation coloniale. Les intérêts de notre colonie cochinchinoise nous ont conduits à conclure avec l'empire d'Annam des traités ayant pour objet d'assurer la liberté des transactions commerciales, la sécurité des voies fluviales, maritimes et des routes de terre dans les régions voisines de nos possessions et appelées par leur situation à constituer leurs marchés naturels; au Cambodge, nous avons établi votre protectorat; au Tonkin, après avoir dû réprimer les déprédations des pirates, défendre par les armes la vie et les intérêts des courageux pionniers de notre commerce, et occuper une partie du pays, nous avons conclu en 1874, un traité qui nous a fait perdre les fruits d'une brillante et rapide occupation, mais qui du moins nous a assuré des droits définis, des titres en règle à faire valoir, des garanties pour la liberté des transactions commerciales, et, s'il n'avait été systématiquement violé par le gouvernement annamite, nous n'aurions pas à nous préoccuper aujourd'hui des moyens à employer pour maintenir l'ordre et sauvegarder la sécurité de notre commerce.\n\nLa population agricole et sédentaire est nombreuse; j'ai dit plus haut son caractère de passivité docile et malléable; sans être riche, elle a l'aisance que donne le travail et ses ressources s'accroîtraient rapidement si elle n'était pas pressurée par les exactions des mandarins annamites; si différente de la nôtre que soit sa civilisation, elle lui crée des besoins assurant un débouché à nos marchandises en échange des produits du sol. Enfin, le Tonkin, sillonné par des cours d'eau qui forment un réseau de routes fluviales, peut servir de voie de transit vers la riche province chinoise du Yunnan.\n\nC'est un pays d'avenir offrant de fécondes perspectives à la nation qui saura le mettre en valeur, et vous n'ignorez pas, messieurs, que nous ne sommes pas seuls à avoir cette conviction et que si nous commettions la faute d'abandonner notre position au Tonkin, nous ne tarderions pas à y être remplacés par d'autres. Malheureusement, les mandarins annamites, après avoir exercé les plus odieuses vengeances contre les Tonkinois qui nous avaient témoigné des sympathies, notamment contre les catholiques indigènes et contre nos missionnaires, se sont faits les protecteurs et les complices des pirates qu'ils s'étaient engagés à réprimer avec nous; ils ont favorisé leurs entreprises et fortifié leurs moyens d'action, à tel point qu'il est venu une heure où nous avons été contraints de nous départir de notre trop longue patience, de notre excessive longanimité, et de nous faire respecter par nos propres forces. C'est cet état de choses qui a rendu nécessaire l'acte de vigueur du commandant Rivière, l'an dernier, sur le fleuve de Hanoi et sa récente prise de possession de Nam-Dinh.\n\nDès lors, notre drapeau s'est trouvé engagé de nouveau, et il n'est que trop certain qu'après le premier abandon du Tonkin, lors de l'expédition de Garnier, une nouvelle retraite, regardée par les Annamites comme un signe de crainte ou de faiblesse, porterait la plus désastreuse atteinte à notre prestige dans l'extrême Orient; nous en ressentirions promptement les effets dans notre colonie de Cochinchine, limitrophe de l'Annam, comme le Tonkin, peuplée d'Annamites, aux yeux desquels notre conduite serait représentée comme le résultat d'un échec devant les forces de Ta-Duc. Il y a donc là un intérêt d'honneur national, une question de prestige et de dignité qui ne permettent pas d'hésitation. On peut regretter seulement que les mesures proposées aujourd'hui n'aient pas été adoptées plus tôt: car chaque jour de retard encourage les Annamites, leur donne l'espoir que nous reculerons et les détermine davantage à tenter de nous opposer une résistance.\n\nD'ailleurs, dans les limites prudentes que, d'après ses déclarations, le Gouvernement entend assigner à notre action, il n'y a pas à prévoir qu'elle doive rencontrer de bien sérieux obstacles; les brillants exploits de Francis Garnier, les récents succès du commandant Rivière attestent qu'en dépit des progrès de leur armement, les Annamites et les pirates chinois, leurs alliés, ne sont pas des adversaires redoutables au Tonkin, où la population indigène, douce et inerte, les regarde comme des oppresseurs et se réjouirait d'être affranchie de leur joug.\n\nTelles sont les considérations générales et d'ordre divers qui ont décidé votre commission à approuver l'opération projetée au Tonkin et à en reconnaître l'urgence.\n\nMais, avant de donner son approbation à l'article 1er du projet de loi, qui renferme le vote du crédit et le principe même de l'entreprise, elle a voulu être exactement renseignée sur les intentions du Gouvernement, sur les limites précises dans lesquelles il entend renfermer notre action militaire, sur les obstacles qu'il prévoit et, surtout, sur les dangers de complications qui, d'après certains bruits, pourraient résulter de notre expédition; M. le président du conseil, MM. les ministres des affaires étrangères et de la marine ont bien voulu se rendre à l'appel de la commission, et lui ont fourni les éclaircissements qu'elle a jugé devoir réclamer, notamment sur les points suivants:\n\nL'éventualité de difficultés avec d'autres puissances européennes: à cet égard, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a fait observer qu'il ne s'agissait que de l'exécution, par l'Annam, du traité de 1874, qui n'a jamais soulevé aucune objection et dont les autres nations sont appelées à recueillir, comme nous, le bénéfice pour leur commerce; il ne saurait donc y avoir aucune cause ni aucun prétexte à des réclamations ou à un mécontentement de leur part.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nLa souveraineté du roi d'Annam et son entière indépendance vis-à-vis de toute puissance étrangère quelle qu'elle soit. La Chine n'avait aucune revendication de son prétendu droit de suzeraineté; si, récemment, elle a tenté de formuler à ce sujet certaines prétentions, c'est à la suite des appels que lui a adressés Tu-Duc, qui espérait ainsi obtenir son appui pour se dérober à l'exécution des clauses du traité; la mauvaise humeur qu'elle a témoignée, ne paraît pas, du reste, l'avoir décidée à adopter des résolutions belliqueuses, et le danger d'une agression de ses forces régulières dans le Tonkin n'est pas à redouter; diverses raisons énoncées par le ministre inclinent à le démontrer.\n\nQuant au traité négocié par M. Bourée, la commission, après communication du texte, a unanimement reconnu avec le ministre qu'il renfermait des stipulations inacceptables. Puis elle a recueilli avec satisfaction l'assurance explicite que le rappel de notre envoyé à Pékin n'implique à aucun degré une rupture ou une tension de rapports avec le Celeste Empire: loin de là, et afin d'éviter toute apparence de refroidissement, l'honorable M. Challemel-Lacour a invité M. Bourée à demeurer à son poste jusqu'à l'arrivée de son successeur, et il vient d'appeler à notre légation en Chine un agent d'une expérience consommée des affaires de l'Orient, M. Tricou, ministre au Japon, qui a reçu l'ordre de se rendre immédiatement à Pékin, où il doit être actuellement arrivé; il lui a envoyé par les voies rapides des instructions conciliantes, lui recommandant de rassurer le gouvernement chinois sur la nature de notre action au Tonkin et de rechercher un terrain d'entente avec lui, sans admettre, bien entendu, une prétention quelconque de sa part à une suzeraineté sur l'Annam, mais en acceptant des pourparlers en vue d'arrangements commerciaux avantageux pour la Chine comme pour la France; le ministre a eu, en outre, un entretien dans le même esprit avec le représentant diplomatique de la cour de Pékin, qui n'a pas manifesté d'idées pouvant enlever l'espoir d'un accord.\n\nRenseignée sur ce côté grave de la question, la commission a également provoqué des éclaircissements du ministre sur la mission que remplit en ce moment à Hué, auprès de l'empereur d'Annam, M. de Kertangernot, M. Challemel-Lacour a exposé qu'avant d'agir au Tonkin pour y rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité, le gouvernement français avait voulu rappeler encore une fois l'empereur Tu-Duc au respect du traité de 1874, en le complétant par quelques dispositions nous offrant des garanties reconnues indispensables; si le souverain de l'Annam, en présence de notre ferme résolution de faire exécuter par nos forces le traité, renonçait au système de mauvaise foi, aux tentatives d'intrigues, à l'hostilité, tantôt sourde, tantôt déclarée, qu'il nous témoigne, nous nous entendrions avec lui sur l'exercice au Tonkin de notre contrôle, la répression des bandes des Pavillons noirs, l'établissement d'une police assurant la sécurité; en cas de refus de sa part, nous procéderions par nous-mêmes avec l'élément indigène local.\n\nLe danger d'une guerre ou d'une rupture avec la Chine sur ce point, la commission a désiré recevoir des explications développées, au sujet des dispositions de la cour de Pékin, de ses rapports avec l'Annam, de ses prétentions, des motifs pour lesquels le Gouvernement a cru devoir rappeler M. Bourée et rejeter le projet de traité qu'il avait négocié, la commission a même demandé à prendre connaissance du texte de ce projet de convention, dont lecture lui a été donnée à titre confidentiel; enfin, elle a voulu savoir quel est actuellement l'état de nos relations avec le Céleste Empire, et connaître les intentions du Gouvernement sur l'attitude qu'il compte prendre à l'égard du cabinet de Pékin.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères a fait ressortir qu'à l'époque de la conclusion du traité de 1874, la Chine n'avait aucune revendication de son prétendu droit de suzeraineté; si, récemment, elle a tenté de formuler à ce sujet certaines prétentions, c'est à la suite des appels que lui a adressés Tu-Duc, qui espérait ainsi obtenir son appui pour se dérober à l'exécution des clauses du traité; la mauvaise humeur qu'elle a témoignée, ne paraît pas, du reste, l'avoir décidée à adopter des résolutions belliqueuses, et le danger d'une agression de ses forces régulières dans le Tonkin n'est pas à redouter; diverses raisons énoncées par le ministre inclinent à le démontrer.\n\nNotre action renfermée dans ces limites ne peut donner lieu à des éventualités inquiétantes, et, quant aux dépenses qu'entraînerait l'occupation, des renseignements communiqués à la commission par M. le ministre de la marine établissent que le produit des impôts et des douanes, déjà suffisant pour couvrir les frais d'administration, s'augmentera rapidement, sans pressurer les populations, ni accroître leurs charges, lorsqu'une bonne gestion, un contrôle sérieux, auront fait disparaître les exactions, les dilapidations qui absorbent aujourd'hui une notable partie des ressources.\n\nA la suite de ces explications, M. Farinal Jauréguiberry a fait connaître aux ministres que l'approbation donnée à l'article 1 ne s'étendait pas à l'article 2, qui avait rencontré dans les bureaux des objections aussi vives que nombreuses, dont la commission était l'interprète fidèle.\n\nLa commission estime que cette disposition, qui est essentiellement du domaine du pouvoir exécutif, ne peut figurer dans un projet de loi et encore moins dans une demande de crédit; il y a là une confusion fâcheuse entre les attributions des deux pouvoirs législatif et exécutif; il est essentiel de ne pas laisser subsister dans le projet de loi cette anomalie. Subsidiairement, il importe de remarquer que si, plus tard, par suite de circonstances imprévues, le Gouvernement jugeait nécessaire de confier provisoirement, en vue d'une campagne, d'une opération militaire, l'autorité supérieure à un officier de terre ou de mer, il serait tenu d'en demander l'autorisation au Parlement.\n\nLe paragraphe second de cet article soulève également des objections: on a peine à comprendre la nomination d'un haut fonctionnaire faite sur la proposition de deux ministres; cela est contraire aux précédents usuels et aux règles administratives; cette nomination doit être faite sur la proposition du ministre compétent, avec l'assentiment, l'avis favorable du conseil des ministres, toujours consulté quand il s'agit de fonctionnaires d'un ordre aussi élevé.\n\nEnfin, la rédaction du troisième paragraphe est de nature à prêter à de fausses interprétations, assurément contraires aux intentions des ministres.\n\nLa commission serait donc disposée à supprimer l'article 2 et à réduire le projet de loi à l'article 1er et à l'article 3, qui ne lui paraît pas devoir soulever d'objection.\n\n2e section, service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin,\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\nArt. 2. -- Le ministre de la marine et des colonies rendra compte, chaque année, à partir du 31 décembre 1883, des opérations auxquelles donnera lieu le service du Tonkin, au moyen d'un rapport adressé au Président de la République, et distribué au Sénat et à la Chambre des députés.\n\nAucun document officiel, excepté un croquis teinté du Tonkin, ne nous a été mis sous les yeux. Je n'en accuse pas le Gouvernement, -- c'est peut-être la faute des circonstances -- je me borne à le constater.\n\nAinsi, dans le rapport, il est question de la violation du traité de 1874 par l'empereur d'Annam, et je n'ai aucune raison pour le contredire; mais aucun document officiel de nous a expliqué quelles avaient été ces violations; aucun document officiel ne nous a donné les motifs de la retraite de notre résident près la cour de Hué; aucun document officiel ne nous a fait connaître les instructions données au nouveau négociateur qui est en ce moment en route pour la baie de Tourane; aucun document officiel ne nous a fait connaître les instructions qui avaient été données à notre ministre à Pékin, et nous ne connaissons que par ce que nous en a dit le rapport qui, si j'ai bien entendu, nous apprend que ce document n'a été communiqué à la commission qu'à titre confidentiel, nous ne connaissons, dis-je, ni les termes, ni l'économie du traité ad referendum que le Gouvernement n'a pas cru devoir ratifier et qui a été négocié par notre ministre à Pékin.\n\nNon, non, la discussion immédiate! Messieurs, la commission, d'accord avec le Gouvernement, et l'urgence ayant été prononcée, demande la discussion immédiate.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite. Pas aujourd'hui, en tous cas, il faut avoir le temps de lire le rapport.\n\nM. le président. J'ai reçu une demande de discussion immédiate signée de vingt membres dont voici les noms: MM. Tertelin, Vigerosy, Ronjat, Claude, Griffe, Maësieiu du Biest, Bonnet, Saineave, Frézoul, Merlin, Mathey, Dupouy, Carnot, Scheurer-Kestner; Peyrat, Ribière, Le Bastard, Delacroix, Brugerolle, Cavinot.\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Nous ne demandons pas la discussion immédiate à l'instant même.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Lambert de Sainte-Croix.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite. Quel est l'avis de la commission des finances? (Bruit.)\n\nDans ces conditions, nous n'avons comme document officiel que le rapport qui vient de nous être lu; est-ce trop exiger que de demander au Sénat le temps de le lire et de l'étudier? (Rumeurs à gauche.)\n\nA droite. Oui! oui! très bien!\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Je commence d'ailleurs par vous rassurer: Si je sollicite la remise, ce n'est pas dans un intérêt personnel; je n'ai nullement la prétention de prendre part à un débat où me font également défaut et les lumières et les études; mais je crois qu'il est dans l'intérêt de tout le monde que ce débat ne paraisse pas précipité; je ne vois aucun péril à ce qu'il soit remis à demain.\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Messieurs, je ne viens pas m'opposer à la discussion immédiate, c'est-à-dire à ce que le Sénat ajourne les formalités, voulues par son règlement, d'impression et de distribution du rapport; je conviens seulement vous demander, si vous prononcez la discussion immédiate, de ne pas procéder aujourd'hui même à l'examen de cette grave question...\n\nJ'insiste donc pour le renvoi à demain. (Vive approbation à droite.) (Murmures prolongés à gauche.)\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. On me dit: Pourquoi pas?\n\nM. le président du conseil et MM. les ministres des affaires étrangères et de la marine ont demandé le maintien de l'article 2, et se sont attachés à réfuter les objections présentées par la commission; ils n'ont pas admis les inconvénients de l'institution du commissaire civil par mesure législative; ils n'ont pas non plus reconnu ceux de la proposition par deux ministres, et ils ont cherché à démontrer que la rédaction du troisième paragraphe ne pouvait donner lieu à une fausse interprétation.\n\nMessieurs, c'est la première fois... (interruptions à gauche)... je ne dis pas au Sénat, mais dans un Parlement, que, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une question de cette importance qui, non seulement au point de vue de nos finances, mais encore de nos relations extérieures, peut avoir des conséquences graves, lorsqu'il s'agit, après tout, d'engager au loin l'or, le sang et l'honneur de la France... (Exclamations et rires sur les mêmes bancs.) Vous pouvez en rire, messieurs, moi, je n'en ris pas, et je n'en rirai jamais. On riait aussi au début de l'expédition du Mexique. (Nouvelles exclamations à gauche. Très bien! très bien! à droite.)\n\nIls se sont ensuite retirés, et la commission a procédé à une dernière délibération suivie du vote.\n\nA l'unanimité, elle a adopté l'article 1 et l'article 3, et, à la majorité, elle s'est prononcée pour la suppression du premier paragraphe de l'article 2, ce qui a entraîné le rejet du reste de l'article.\n\nEn conséquence, la commission a l'honneur de proposer l'adoption du projet de loi, réduit aux deux articles suivants:\n\nLorsqu'il s'agit, je le répète, d'une mesure de cette nature, il n'y a pas d'exemple qu'un Parlement ait procédé à la discussion immédiate, pour ainsi dire au pied levé. (Nouvelles marques d'approbation à droite.)\n\nMessieurs, j'ai écouté, pour ma part, avec beaucoup d'intérêt et d'attention le remarquable rapport qui vient de vous être lu.\n\nVoix nombreuses à gauche. Aux voix! aux voix!\n\nM. le président. Deux propositions se trouvant en présence, tendant l'une au renvoi à la prochaine séance, l'autre à la discussion immédiate, je mets aux voix, selon l'usage, le jour le plus éloigné.\n\n(Le renvoi à demain n'est pas prononcé.)\n\nM. le président. Il va être procédé à la discussion immédiate.\n\nM. Fournier (Indre-et-Loire). Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Fournier.\n\nM. Fournier (Indre-et-Loire). Messieurs, le traité signé le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le roi d'Annam, reconnaît la souveraineté du royaume de l'Annam et son entière indépendance vis-à-vis de toute puissance étrangère quelle qu'elle soit. Il lui promet aide et assistance et s'engage à lui donner, sur sa demande et gratuitement, l'appui nécessaire pour maintenir dans ses états l'ordre et la tranquillité, pour le défendre contre toute attaque et pour détruire la piraterie qui désolait une partie des côtes du royaume.\n\nEst-ce que quelqu'un me démentira si je dis que ce document vaut, à coup sûr, la peine d'être lu et étudié?\n\nArt. 1er.- Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 fr, qui sera classé à la 2e section, service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin.",

On n'a pas tenu la main à l'exécution d'un droit; pour réparer cet oubli, on est disposé à outrepasser le droit.\n\nC'est ce que je ne voudrais pas voir devenir la politique de mon pays: je n'y trouverais pour ni grandeur ni profit en rapport avec les compromissions auxquelles il s'exposerait, immédiatement peut-être, mais avec de grandes probabilités dans un avenir plus ou moins prochain, mais certain.\n\nIl serait bon que cela fût évité, et il faudrait que cela le fût pour bien témoigner que notre politique n'a ni faiblesse ni convoitise, mais qu'elle s'appuie sur un droit, même longtemps négligé, elle tient à l'affirmer, ce qu'elle le doit et qu'elle le peut, sans se laisser aller à l'outrepasser, si la force des choses ne la contraint point.\n\nNotre droit est d'exiger du souverain de l'Annam le passage par le fleuve Rouge jusqu'au Yunnan, en délivrant cette voie de communication de tout ce qui pourrait matériellement l'entraver, c'est-à-dire de la piraterie, exercée par faiblesse par lui, ou cauteleusement favorisée par lui.\n\nC'est notre devoir de le mettre en demeure d'agir dans ce sens, et, après les réitérées manifestations de son manque de foi, de suppléer nous-mêmes, matériellement, en forces, son action.\n\nS'il se refusait à agir ou retardait son action, quel que fût le motif de ce retard, la mauvaise foi, mauvais vouloir ou tous les deux, ce serait notre droit, notre devoir, de nous substituer à lui dans toute la plénitude que doit avoir son action, qui deviendrait nôtre.\n\nNous aurions à assurer, à maintenir par nous-mêmes la sécurité de la navigation du fleuve Rouge et à éteindre la piraterie qui empêche et rançonne le commerce.\n\nLa conséquence de nos actes conservateurs sur le fleuve Rouge, actes qui ne seraient que la conséquence du traité de 1874, nous obligerait à l'occupation militaire de certains points que l'expérience des lieux peut seule fixer, à l'établissement d'une administration préservatrice, constituée le plus possible selon le texte et l'esprit du traité, à la police du fleuve Rouge.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\net nous pouvons, d'avance, être convaincus que l'un et l'autre ne nous manqueront pas là-bas: car il y a des pays où, pour conserver, il faut avancer toujours, je ne veux pas employer le mot qui exprime le mieux la chose,\n\net si nous sommes contraints aujourd'hui de faire au Tonkin un premier pas, il n'y a pas à douter que les imprévus ne nous obligent à les multiplier.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nabsolument écarté, comme énigmatique ou comme oubliant qu'au dehors surtout, devant l'étranger, la dignité de notre parole, de notre terre et de mer est plus que partout ailleurs synonyme de dignité, d'honneur et de grandeur de la France. (Très bien et applaudissements à droite.) et ne doit être subordonnée à aucune autorité civile ayant autorité immédiate sur elle; dans cet ordre d'idées, dis-je, maintien au Tonkin des droits qui nous sont conférés par le traité du 15 mars 1874; négociations à suivre ou à reprendre avec le Gouvernement de Pékin, mon vote est acquis au crédit proposé.\n\nDans le temps présent, il me paraîtrait sage et prudent de ne pas nous engager trop avant. Ne laissons à personne au monde douter de la volonté de maintenir notre droit, mais ne laissons pas supposer non plus que nos volontés sortiraient, par de lointaines distractions, de ce recueillement salutaire que doivent s'imposer les grands peuples éprouvés pour se préparer un meilleur avenir. (Vifs applaudissements à droite et sur divers bancs au centre.)\n\nJe le répète, maintenons notre droit établi sur des traités, ne voulons pas aller au-delà du parti pris; les événements se chargeront bien assez eux-mêmes de s'imposer à nous.\n\nC'est avec ces idées que j'ai vu avec peine repousser les avances d'un pays, dont on parle tour à tour, avec trop de dédain et trop de légèreté: la Chine; c'est en tout cas un pays d'une immense et inépuisable population, sans dette publique, qui peut souvent renouveler ses efforts contre la civilisation en lui empruntant chaque fois de nouveaux moyens de résistance, ses armes et engins de guerre perfectionnés pour l'attaque et la défense: qui chaque fois devient, par conséquent, plus difficile à vaincre et à plus de frais en hommes, en argent, en navires et en matériel de guerre: c'est une race qui jamais ne se rebute.\n\nAutant que je puis le savoir, c'était de la Chine que nous étaient venues des ouvertures pour une entente.\n\nDans une autre enceinte, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a indiqué des points qui auraient été acceptés ad referendum: notre protectorat était reconnu au Tonkin, ce qui était par la Chine l'aveu qu'elle n'avait rien à voir au Tonkin et à l'Annam. C'était quelque chose, une difficulté de moins, quelque peu d'importance que l'on soit en disposition d'accorder au bon vouloir des Chinois.\n\nLe Yunnan était ouvert au commerce, c'était un second point obtenu; il avait sa valeur, puisque, pour ouvrir le Yunnan au commerce européen, il faudra négocier avec la Chine; enfin, il était admis qu'il y avait en à négociation pour fixer la délimitation entre le Tonkin et les provinces méridionales de la Chine; le principe à appliquer restait seul à établir. C'était certainement un point délicat, mais de ceux que le temps, les négociations, l'à-propos savamment mis à profit, permettent de résoudre, et qui souvent trouvent leur solution dans des intérêts qui concilient la force et les nécessités pratiques des choses et l'expérience réciproquement acquise.\n\nJe serais donc heureux de voir reprendre les négociations avec la Chine, sans pour cela que notre action au Tonkin, dans les termes définis par moi, soit ralentie: car il serait possible qu'un ralentissement précipitât des événements dont le bruit public vient jusqu'à nous et qui indiqueraient chez les Annamites des sentiments, une vigueur relative d'action et l'acquisition de moyens matériels d'action qui nous forceraient à des opérations étendues, avec les obligations subséquentes d'une large occupation.\n\nAller plus loin serait-il de notre intérêt immédiat? Une fois que nous aurons affirmé notre volonté de rester fermement là où notre présence est nécessaire, est-il utile d'occuper plus de territoires, de nous étendre avec un empressement qui semblerait trop avoir été une préméditation?\n\n(Très bien sur divers bancs.)\n\nJe ne le crois pas, à chaque jour et à chaque temps suffit sa peine et son labeur.\n\nDans cet ordre d'idées, et une fois l'article 2 adopté...\n\nMais en le donnant, même dans ces conditions, je ne puis taire que les événements peuvent être plus forts que les volontés, et que, si les intérêts de la France sont assez multipliés pour qu'elle ait besoin de son bras pour les soutenir, il y a des moments de son histoire où ils sont surtout en Europe et sur les terrains plus prochains de ses séculaires traditions. (Très bien! et applaudissements à droite.)\n\nM. le comte de Saint-Vallier, rapporteur, Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le rapporteur.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Messieurs, je ne répondrai qu'un mot aux observations que notre honorable collègue M. Fournier vient de présenter, c'est qu'il résulte des explications qui ont été fournies à la commission par les ministres qu'une grande partie des recommandations et des vœux de M. Fournier, reçoit satisfaction.\n\nSi je l'ai bien entendu, deux points surtout le préoccupent: ne pas nous lancer dans une conquête aventureuse au Tonkin, nous borner à y faire respecter nos droits, à y faire observer et exécuter les traités que nous avons conclus avec l'empire d'Annam. Telle est, messieurs, l'intention que le Gouvernement est venu affirmer devant la commission, intention dont la commission a pris acte et qu'elle a recueillie et consignée dans le rapport que je viens de lire.\n\nVoilà pour le premier point.\n\nQuant à nos relations, avec la Chine, l'honorable M. Fournier a demandé avec raison qu'il n'y eût pas de rupture, qu'il n'y eût pas de refroidissement dans les rapports que nous entretenons avec cette puissance, et qu'au contraire on cherchât à reprendre les négociations. Je m'empresse de déclarer que le rapport en fait foi que la commission partage entièrement le sentiment de notre honorable collègue et qu'elle a demandé à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères de vouloir bien lui faire connaître, de la manière la plus précise, la plus explicite, ses dispositions à ce sujet. M. le ministre des affaires étrangères nous a répondu que tout son désir est de maintenir les bons rapports avec la Chine et de reprendre les pourparlers.\n\nIl y a seulement un point que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et la commission partagent entièrement sa manière de voir à cet égard: c'est la reconnaissance de la suzeraineté de la Chine sur l'empire d'Annam. (Approbation sur un grand nombre de bancs): car vous n'ignorez pas, messieurs, qu'on ne manquerait pas de vouloir étendre ce prétendu droit de suzeraineté à tout l'ancien territoire de l'empire d'Annam, c'est-à-dire à la Cochinchine elle-même, et l'on pourrait un jour venir contester notre possession à la faveur des premiers embarras extérieurs que nous rencontrerions. C'est un point sur lequel nous ne devons, nous ne pouvons pas transiger; mais, à part cela, tout nous commande de conserver des relations amicales avec la Chine et de chercher avec elle un terrain d'entente.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères nous a déclaré qu'il avait invité notre ancien ministre à Pékin à demeurer à son poste jusqu'à l'arrivée de son successeur, et qu'il avait fait choix pour le remplacer d'un agent placé à la tête d'une de nos missions de l'extrême-Orient, ce qui lui permet de ne pas tarder à arriver à Pékin, où il doit être déjà débarqué à l'heure où nous sommes; cet agent, M. Tricon, ministre de France au Japon, est un diplomate d'une expérience consommée dans les affaires des pays d'Orient. Le ministre lui a adressé, par les voies les plus rapides, des instructions entièrement conciliantes dont l'esprit a été indiqué à la commission; ces instructions invitent notre nouvel envoyé à s'entendre avec la Chine et à reprendre des négociations avec elle, à entrer en conversation, en pourparlers afin de l'amener à des arrangements commerciaux, à des conventions de bon voisinage pouvant à la fois donner des avantages et à la France et à la Chine.\n\nVoilà pour le second point.\n\nL'honorable M. Fournier et l'honorable M. Lambert de Sainte-Croix ont aussi fait allusion au rejet du traité qu'avait préparé M. Bourée. Ce traité, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a bien voulu, sur la demande de la commission, lui en donner connaissance à titre confidentiel.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nministre des affaires étrangères nous a affirmé qu'il ferait tous ses efforts, qu'il les faisait dès à présent, pour ne pas laisser se dénouer nos bons rapports avec le cabinet de Pékin et pour entrer dans de nouveaux pourparlers de nature à amener un arrangement satisfaisant entre les deux puissances. (Très bien, très bien à gauche et au centre.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty, de sa place. Vous avez oublié de répondre à M. Fournier sur la question de la direction militaire; veuillez remarquer cela, monsieur le rapporteur! (Bruit.)\n\nA gauche, Lisez le rapport! Cela viendra plus tard.\n\nM. le rapporteur. La commission ayant effacé l'article 2, je crois être dispensé de répondre à la question que vient de faire M. de Lareinty. (Très bien! très bien! à gauche.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Mais si, puisque qu'elle a maintenu par son approbation...(Bruit et interruptions à gauche.)\n\nJe demande la parole.\n\n25 Mai [SÉNAT]\n\n547\n\nM. le président. Le Gouvernement peut le maintenir.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Il y a confusion; la commission ne présente plus que deux articles.\n\nM. le président. La commission n'ayant pas déclaré que le Gouvernement abandonnait l'article 2, je suis obligé de poser la question au Gouvernement. (Bruit.)\n\nM. le rapporteur. Alors le Gouvernement s'expliquera.\n\nM. Challemel Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères. Messieurs, le Sénat me permettra sans doute de lui présenter, en peu de mots, les considérations pour lesquelles nous sommes décidés à envoyer au Tonkin un commissaire général civil et pour lesquelles nous avions accepté la proposition faite par la commission de la Chambre des députés d'introduire l'article 2 dans le projet de loi qui est discuté en ce moment.\n\nCe n'est pas, messieurs, sans avoir recueilli les opinions d'un grand nombre de personnes qui connaissent la situation du Tonkin et parmi elles, de plusieurs officiers de la marine et de l'armée, que nous avons pris cette décision. Ces personnes ont été, je puis le dire, unanimes pour reconnaître les avantages et même la nécessité de la combinaison à laquelle nous nous sommes arrêtés.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. de Lareinty.\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Messieurs, je ne comptais nullement prendre la parole; je savais que la commission, s'inspirant des votes qui lui avaient été donnés, avait purement et simplement repoussé l'article 2. J'ai vu avec un très grand regret qu'après ce refus de l'article 2, la commission avait donné son approbation à la nomination d'un commissaire général civil au Tonkin.\n\nMessieurs, le jour où vous avez nommé votre commission dans les bureaux, vous l'avez fait, je crois, parce que ses membres vous inspirent confiance. (Marques nombreuses d'assentiment.)\n\nEh bien, quand elle vient vous déclarer, par la voix de son rapporteur, que ce traité ne peut pas être publié sans inconvénient, et qu'il contient des clauses inacceptables, je pense que le Sénat reconnaîtra qu'il doit s'en rapporter à cette affirmation; il sera persuadé, je l'espère, que la commission n'a émis cet avis, cette conclusion, qu'après un sérieux examen de ce document, et que le langage qu'elle tient ici lui est dicté par une conviction réfléchie et absolue. (Très bien! très bien! à gauche et au centre.)\n\nOn a parlé d'une première approbation donnée au traité, et d'un désaveu qui serait intervenu ensuite.\n\nL'explication est bien simple. L'approbation dont on a parlé n'était pas, en réalité, une adhésion à la convention acceptée par M. Bourée; c'était plutôt une autorisation de continuer les négociations. Quand elle est intervenue, le traité n'était pas connu. Le télégramme qu'avait reçu le ministère des affaires étrangères, n'en donnait pas une idée exacte; il ne mentionnait pas les clauses que le Gouvernement a considérées comme inadmissibles et que la commission, à son tour, jugeant en son âme et conscience, a reconnu inacceptables pour la France.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, ce que j'avais à répondre sur la question soulevée par notre honorable collègue M. Fournier. Je résume ma réponse pour la rendre plus précise encore; d'après les renseignements donnés par le Gouvernement, notre action au Tonkin doit se borner à assurer l'exécution du traité de 1874, complétée et précisée. Nous cherchons même à y arriver par une dernière tentative d'entente avec l'empereur d'Annam; c'est là le but de la mission de M. de Champeaux. Nous voulons, en un mot, nous efforcer d'éviter, dans la limite du possible, les opérations militaires et les actes d'hostilité.\n\nà un principe qu'elle devait repousser, c'est-à-dire la direction des opérations par un gouverneur civil.\n\nEh bien, je ne comprends pas cette nomination quand la commission s'est engagée vis-à-vis de ceux qui l'ont nommée, à repousser le gouverneur civil.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à gauche. C'est une erreur. La preuve?\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. La preuve, c'est que la commission a repoussé l'article 2. Il ne peut pas y en avoir de meilleure. Or, après avoir repoussé l'article 2, c'est-à-dire le principe, elle vient déclarer qu'elle est favorable au gouverneur civil.\n\nEh bien, je me joins à mon honorable collègue M. Fournier pour prier le Sénat de vouloir bien conserver cette disposition, qu'il est absolument nécessaire pour les opérations militaires, et pour sauvegarder nos soldats et l'honneur de la France, de maintenir à l'autorité militaire la direction des opérations. (Très bien! très bien! à droite.)\n\nM. le président. Personne ne demandant la parole pour la discussion générale, je consulte le Sénat sur la question de savoir s'il entend passer à la discussion des articles.\n\nIl n'y a pas d'opposition?\n\nJe donne lecture de l'article 1er:\n\nArt. 1. — Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 fr. qui sera classé à la 2e section, Service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin.\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(L'article 1er, mis aux voix, est adopté.)\n\nM. le président. Le Gouvernement maintient-il l'article 2?\n\nM. le rapporteur. Cet article n'existe plus.\n\nJe ne crains pas de le déclarer au Sénat, nous avons voulu, en envoyant un commissaire civil au Tonkin, prendre certaines garanties contre de généreux, mais dangereux entraînements. Je l'ai déjà dit à la Chambre des députés, et je n'hésite point à le répéter devant le Sénat, bien persuadé que personne n'attribuera notre résolution à une injustice.\n\nNous connaissons nos officiers, nous savons ce qu'ils valent. Nous savons que nous pouvons, en général, nous fier autant à leur prudence qu'à leur intrépidité.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite, Eh bien alors?\n\nM. le ministre. Mais, c'est cependant, il faut bien le reconnaître, un fait constant et un fait inévitable que, lorsque l'autorité politique et l'autorité militaire se trouvent réunies dans la même main et que cette main est celle d'un soldat, il est à craindre que les considérations politiques, quelque puissantes qu'elles puissent être, ne soient parfois sacrifiées aux considérations militaires et que les hommes habitués à l'action ne connaissent guère que l'action pour trancher toutes les difficultés. (Bruit et exclamations à droite.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Un soldat obéit aux instructions tout aussi bien qu'un commissaire général civil!\n\nM. le ministre. Nous n'avons point eu la pensée de faire un commandant civil de nos forces de terre et de mer. Nous n'avons pas songé à rien créer d'analogue à nos commissaires près des armées, du temps de la Convention!\n\nM. le général Robert, Mais cela y est!\n\nM. le ministre. Non, monsieur le général Robert, cela n'y est pas!\n\nM. le président. Veuillez ne pas interrompre, messieurs, vous aurez la parole après M. le ministre.\n\nM. le ministre. Non, messieurs, nous n'avons rien voulu créer d'analogue. Au contraire, le rôle du commissaire civil, tel que nous le comprenons, est non seulement différent, mais l'opposé de celui que jouaient ces commissaires.\n\nPage 548\n\nPage 549\n\n(no text)\n\nPage 550\n\n(no text)",

Ce commissaire civil délibère, il surveille et retient, mais il n'intervient dans le commandement, ni d'une manière directe ni par des instructions.\n\nJe ne crois pas, messieurs, qu'il puisse y avoir rien là, dont la fierté et la susceptibilité de nos officiers doivent être froissées à quelque degré que ce soit. Un contrôle civil, mais ce n'est pas là une chose nouvelle; c'est une chose, au contraire, comme j'aurai l'occasion peut-être de vous le démontrer dans quelques instants, qui est très ordinaire; et, si je ne craignais d'en avoir l'air, contre ma pensée, de recourir à un sophisme, je dirais que la création d'un commissaire civil est véritablement un hommage rendu à l'intrépidité, au courage, à l'ardeur...\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. À l'inintelligence ou au manque d'obéissance de nos officiers (Bruit à gauche. - Oui, oui à droite.)\n\nM. le ministre. Messieurs, nous espérons très fermement que la phase des opérations militaires sera courte. Eh bien, il nous a semblé que lorsqu'il s'agit d'administrer, d'organiser, bien plus que de conquérir et de faire la guerre, une pareille tâche se trouvait naturellement dévolue à un fonctionnaire civil. Il y aura dans cette tâche de quoi occuper toute son attention, absorber toute sa sollicitude et nous ne pouvons pas voir comment un officier, qui sera grandement occupé à organiser ses troupes, à les instruire, à les installer, à les approvisionner, pourrait mener de front une tâche qui a son caractère d'urgence.\n\nNous avons eu encore une autre raison tirée des préjugés, des habitudes des populations auxquelles nous avons à faire et qui pourra peut-être, chez quelques-uns d'entre vous, causer un certain étonnement, mais dont aucun de ceux qui connaissent ces pays, qui ont étudié les mœurs de l'extrême Orient, ne pourra contester la valeur; cette raison, c'est que, contrairement à ce qui se passe partout, au rebours de ce qui semblerait une loi de l'esprit humain, s'il n'y avait sur la planète quatre cent millions d'hommes qui sont dominés par un sentiment contraire, parmi les populations auxquelles nous avons affaire, devant lesquelles nous allons nous trouver, ce n'est pas l'uniforme, ce n'est pas l'épée, c'est le fonctionnaire civil qui a le plus grand ascendant.\n\nVoix nombreuses à gauche. C'est vrai !\n\nM. le ministre. Eh bien, messieurs, voilà quelques-uns des motifs qui nous avaient déterminés. Nous n'avions pas cru qu'il fût nécessaire d'introduire la décision à laquelle nous nous étions arrêtés sous forme d'article dans le projet de loi présenté à la Chambre des députés. Mais la commission parlementaire, interprète en cette circonstance, nous avons tout lieu de le croire, du sentiment général de la majorité, qui ne veut point d'entreprises hasardeuses, qui répugne à toute opération téméraire, qui consent à se prêter à une action limitée parce qu'elle est indispensable, mais qui ne veut pas être entraînée plus loin qu'il ne convient d'aller, cette commission a demandé comme gage l'insertion de cet article.\n\nPermettez-moi d'en dire un mot. Je tiens à réfuter ces objections pour justifier - et cela ne me sera pas, je pense, bien difficile - le consentement que nous avions cru devoir donner à la demande de la commission de la Chambre des députés.\n\nOn a dit que quelques-uns des adversaires les plus ardents de l'article 2 sont allés jusqu'à dire que cet article est inconstitutionnel, qu'il constitue un empiètement du législatif sur l'exécutif; on a dit qu'à tout le moins, il est anti-gouvernemental puisqu'il lie le Gouvernement dans une question où il lui importait à un si haut degré de conserver sa pleine liberté d'action.\n\nInconstitutionnel, c'est un bien gros mot, et ce reproche, s'il était fondé, me toucherait vivement. Il ne peut reposer, dans tous les cas, si ma mémoire est fidèle, que sur les paragraphes 3 et 4 de l'article 3 de la loi du 25 février 1875, lequel dit que le Président de la République dispose de la force armée et qu'il nomme aux emplois civils et militaires.\n\nLe Président de la République nomme aux emplois civils et militaires ! Mais, messieurs, en quoi, je vous prie, l'article que nous avions accepté porte-t-il la moindre atteinte à ces attributions, implique-t-il une diminution de cette prérogative ? Emporte-t-il une confusion de l'exécutif et du législatif ? Le Parlement, messieurs, déciderait par les dispositions de l'article 2, si elles étaient adoptées, que la haute administration au Tonkin sera confiée à un fonctionnaire civil chargé d'organiser le protectorat, et que ce fonctionnaire civil sera investi d'une certaine autorité, à l'égard des forces de terre et de mer.\n\nMessieurs, qu'est-ce là, sinon une décision abstraite, une solution de principes, une règle d'organisation, nullement une mesure d'exécution exclusive du ressort de M. le Président de la République, comme le serait, par exemple, la désignation, pour remplir les fonctions qui venaient d'être créées, d'une personnalité déterminée.\n\nSavoir prendre les responsabilités, quand il le faut, est le devoir du Gouvernement. Au contraire, le temps lui en était laissé, il n'hésiterait à demander une modification de la loi, et cette demande, si elle était fondée sur des raisons sérieuses, ne lui serait pas refusée par le Parlement. (Bruit à droite. — Très bien, très bien à gauche.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le ministre. On a fait une autre objection; et c'est celle sur laquelle on a le plus insisté dans quelques bureaux, on l'a entendu formuler dans nos couloirs, dans nos conversations avec une certaine chaleur; elle consiste à dire qu'il est inadmissible que le commissaire civil ait autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer; que la subordination des troupes de terre et de mer à leurs ministres respectifs, est un principe absolu, qui ne comporte ni exception, ni tempérament.\n\nJe crains qu'il n'y ait là une certaine exagération. À vrai dire, qu'est-ce que nous faisons ? Le commissaire civil que nous enverrons au Tonkin aura, dit l'article 2, autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer. Nous ne sommes pas moins respectueux de la subordination militaire que de la Constitution, nous tenons également à ce que ni l'une ni l'autre ne reçoive aucune atteinte.\n\nEh bien, il nous a semblé, messieurs, que cette disposition n'était pas autre chose que l'application restreinte, ad hoc, d'un principe posé dans le sénatus-consulte du 3 mai 1854 relatif aux colonies; en effet, l'article 9 de ce sénatus-consulte porte : « Le commandement et la haute administration sont confiés, dans chaque colonie, à un gouverneur.»\n\nLe sénatus-consulte ne dit point si le gouverneur sera militaire ou civil. À l'heure qu'il est, le gouverneur général de la Cochinchine est un civil et il a sous ses ordres, sous son autorité, toutes les forces que nous avons au Tonkin; le commandant Rivière relève de lui.\n\nDe telle sorte que la mesure que nous vous demandions d'adopter ne modifiait en rien la situation actuelle ou du moins ne la modifiait qu'en un point : c'est que l'autorité du gouverneur de la Cochinchine ne peut être que très faible et presque illusoire sur des forces qui opèrent à 400 lieues de Saigon, tandis que le commissaire civil désigné pour le Tonkin, étant sur place, pourra s'entendre avec l'autorité militaire et qu'il sera à même d'apprécier à chaque instant la situation et les nécessités qu'elle peut comporter.\n\nEt le gouverneur civil de l'Algérie, messieurs, est-ce que lui aussi n'a pas autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer ? Il a l'autorité, mais il n'a pas le commandement. Il n'y a donc ici rien de nouveau, et l'expression d'autorisé, vague peut-être, mais qui sera éclairée, précisée, limitée par les instructions données au commissaire civil, ne fait que constater un fait connu et admis : c'est qu'il faut, quand on a côte à côte plusieurs autorités, que quelqu'une d'elles ait le dernier mot et que, là où il s'agit d'organisation bien plus que de conquête, il est naturel, il est nécessaire que le dernier mot appartienne au commissaire civil.\n\nMais, ajoute-t-on, dans tous les cas, il est anti-gouvernemental, car vous vous êtes dépouillés d'un droit qui appartient naturellement à l'exécutif. Vous vous engagez à nommer un commissaire civil, sans savoir si telle circonstance ne viendra pas à se produire qui vous obligerait à nommer un fonctionnaire militaire.\n\nJe ne sais pas ce qui peut arriver; il est possible que ces éventualités se produisent; dans tous les cas, elles sont en ce moment une hypothèse, et, en y regardant avec attention, on reconnaît qu'elles sont assez lointaines. Mais, à supposer qu'elles vinssent à se produire, croyez-vous que nous serions dépourvus de ressources ? Il y en a une qui se présente tout naturellement à l'esprit : c'est que, s'il le fallait, si certaines circonstances sinon absolument impossibles, du moins à l'heure qu'il est, très invraisemblables, venaient à se produire qui rendissent impossible le maintien d'un commissaire civil, nous prendrions, sous notre responsabilité, en cas d'urgence, les mesures nécessitées par les circonstances, quitte à nous mettre en contradiction avec la loi.\n\nNous ne désarmons pas le Gouvernement, nous ne confondons pas l'exécutif et le législatif; nous ne portons aucune atteinte à la hiérarchie militaire qui, vous pouvez m'en croire, nous est aussi chère qu'à qui que ce soit parmi vous. Nous avions simplement consenti à insérer dans la loi une mesure qui nous paraissait commandée par la situation.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n307\n\n25 Mai (SÉNAT) 549\n\nD'abord, messieurs, je dois commencer par vous dire que la commission s'est presque unanimement montrée favorable à l'envoi d'un commissaire général civil au Tonkin, parce que, d'après les déclarations qui lui ont été faites par le Gouvernement, d'après les renseignements qui lui ont été donnés, elle est convaincue que l'action militaire sera probablement de très peu d'importance, que les opérations de ce genre ne présenteront pas des difficultés sérieuses et seront facilement dirigées par un officier supérieur placé, je ne dis pas sous l'ordre immédiat - je m'expliquerai tout à l'heure à ce sujet - mais sous la direction politique d'un commissaire général civil.\n\nMaintenant, messieurs, cette disposition est-elle à sa place dans une loi de finances ?... Je ne prétends pas décider à cet égard; je ne recherche pas s'il serait préférable qu'une loi de crédit ne contînt que des dispositions d'ordre budgétaire; je n'examine pas s'il est admissible en mainte occasion, et même rationnel dans certain cas, que le Parlement, au moment où il vote un crédit, détermine les conditions dans lesquelles il en sera fait emploi.\n\nPar conséquent, lorsque la commission a repoussé cet article, ce n'est pas qu'elle se déclarât hostile à l'envoi immédiat d'un commissaire général civil; mais elle a trouvé qu'une pareille disposition ne pouvait pas, ne devait pas figurer dans un texte de loi, parce que le Gouvernement, seul responsable de son action, doit être laissé complètement libre dans le choix de ses agents, de ses collaborateurs.\n\nJe pourrais à cet égard citer bien des précédents, mais ces précédents, messieurs, ne paraîtraient peut-être pas à tout le monde avoir une analogie suffisamment directe avec le cas qui nous occupe. Ils prouveraient au moins que jamais la ligne de démarcation n'a été tracée d'une manière très nette et avec une rigueur absolue entre les dispositions budgétaires et les dispositions organiques ou réglementaires.\n\nMessieurs, je ne soutiendrai pas - je me démentirais moi-même - que la Chambre des députés n'a pas pris une précaution peut-être excessive en introduisant dans la loi cette disposition.\n\nJe crois que cette insertion s'explique par des raisons plausibles, par des raisons patriotiques; mais je crois aussi, et je demande au Sénat la permission de lui dire qu'il ferait bien de ne pas s'arrêter à des inconvénients plus apparents que réels et qui, dans tous les cas, n'ont rien de dangereux.\n\nCe qui pourra être plus grave, ce qui ne sera pas sans offrir un danger, c'est de renvoyer la loi devant la Chambre des députés... (Oh, oh ! Rires et murmures à droite)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Il faut alors supprimer le Sénat !\n\nM. le marquis de Carné. Alors, ce n'est pas la peine de nous consulter !\n\nM. le ministre. ...au risque de réveiller à l'égard de notre action au Tonkin, de l'extension qu'elle peut prendre, des périls qu'elle peut entraîner, des défiances que nous avons fait tous nos efforts pour dissiper. Ce qui serait dangereux surtout, ce serait, messieurs, de nous condamner à un retard qui, ne fût-il que de quarante-huit heures (Murmures à droite), pourrait, dans quelques semaines, vous causer à tous d'amers regrets, et que nous avons des raisons très fortes et qui ne vous sont pas inconnues, d'éviter, si nous le pouvons. (Vive approbation à gauche. - Protestations à droite.)\n\nM. l'amiral Jauréguiberry. Je demande la parole.\n\nLa commission a pensé, en un mot, que le pouvoir législatif n'a pas le droit d'imposer tel ou tel choix au pouvoir exécutif. En effet, comme je viens de le dire, nous croyons qu'il n'y a aucun inconvénient à l'envoi d'un commissaire général qui sera simplement chargé de l'administration, de l'organisation d'un pays dans lequel il faut établir des règles d'ordre, de gouvernement, des règles financières et administratives qui n'ont jamais existé.\n\nMais les circonstances peuvent changer; elles ont peut-être même changé à l'heure où nous nous trouvons, d'après la déclaration par laquelle M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a terminé son discours; en admettant toutefois que le danger n'existât pas aujourd'hui, il peut se présenter évidemment dans un avenir plus ou moins éloigné, des soulèvements, des révoltes générales dans le pays, une action d'une puissance voisine, voire même une guerre européenne qui peut obliger le Gouvernement à confier la défense du Tonkin ou de la partie du Tonkin que nous occupons, à un gouverneur militaire.\n\nDans ce cas, faudra-t-il que le Gouvernement, enchaîné par une loi, se présente devant le Parlement, alors que les circonstances pourront être très urgentes, pour demander que cette loi soit annulée ?\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères, avec la noblesse de son caractère, vous a déclaré que le Gouvernement prendrait toutes les responsabilités, qu'il agirait pour le mieux, et qu'ensuite, il demanderait un bill d'indemnité. (Exclamations à droite.)\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Vous pourrez le lui refuser.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurègulberry. Il serait plus simple, je crois, de laisser le Gouvernement libre de son action, et de ne pas l'enchaîner par une loi. Puisqu'il doit prendre la responsabilité de tous les actes dont il est l'auteur, il faut le laisser agir comme il le juge convenable pour le véritable bien du pays, pour les intérêts de la cause qu'il soutient, pour prévenir des difficultés que tout le monde peut prévoir.\n\nC'est pour cela que la commission n'a pas voulu adopter le premier paragraphe de l'article 2.\n\nM. Boffet. Je la demande après, monsieur le président.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. l'amiral Jauréguiberry.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurégulberry. Messieurs, c'est avec une certaine appréhension que j'aborde cette tribune, car c'est un honneur bien périlleux pour moi que celui d'avoir à répondre au discours que vous venez d'entendre. Cependant, je crois, permettez-moi de vous le dire, que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a produit ici des arguments qui n'existaient pas dans la pensée de la commission et qui ne répondent pas aux objections qu'elle a formulées contre l'article 2.\n\nVoilà tout, messieurs; voilà ce que nous avons voulu faire et ce qui nous a déterminés à accepter l'article 2 et son introduction dans la loi; nous n'innovons pas, nous ne violons aucune règle.\n\nQuant au second paragraphe, dont M. le ministre des affaires étrangères n'a pas parlé, la commission l'a rejeté, parce qu'elle ne comprend pas qu'un fonctionnaire soit nommé par deux ministres, ou, plutôt, sur la proposition de deux ministres, car les nominations sont signées par M. le Président de la République. Elle voit à cela un très grand inconvénient.\n\nEn effet, ce fonctionnaire, nommé par deux ministres, doit correspondre avec chacun d'eux. Or, il est évident, pour toutes les personnes qui connaissent ce qui se passe généralement dans les colonies, dans ces pays lointains où l'imagination s'exalte, où la moindre difficulté grandit d'une manière démesurée, que, si ce fonctionnaire reçoit de l'un des ministres, du ministre de la marine, par exemple, un refus à telle demande, un ordre qui ne lui conviendrait pas, il écrira immédiatement au ministre des affaires étrangères et de là surgira naturellement un conflit.\n\nCela n'empêche pas le Gouvernement, le conseil des ministres d'intervenir; nous savons tous, en effet, que lorsqu'il s'agit de la nomination d'un fonctionnaire, d'un grade aussi élevé, le conseil des ministres est consulté, et, sur le choix qui est proposé, chaque membre présente ses observations dont le ministre compétent tient grand compte.\n\nPar conséquent, toutes les responsabilités sont sauvegardées et toutes les garanties sont données.\n\nOn nous objecte que, pour certains fonctionnaires, le département des colonies est obligé à chaque instant d'agir de concert avec le ministre de la justice et avec le concours de la grande chancellorie; pour tous les pourvois en cassation, il faut s'adresser au ministre de la justice qui a seul autorité pour saisir la cour suprême.\n\nPour toutes les demandes de grâce et de commutation de peine, il faut encore un ordre et une décision de la chancellierie. Enfin, il se présente une foule de circonstances qu'il serait trop long d'énumérer ici, dans lesquelles l'action du ministère de la justice est indispensable.\n\nMais dans le cas dont nous nous occupons, ce n'est pas la même chose, et je me demande ce que peut avoir, et réellement j'en demande bien pardon à M. Challemel-Lacour - ce que peut avoir à faire le ministre des affaires étrangères dans une question où il faut administrer, organiser, dans laquelle l'action diplomatique est nulle, puisque toute action diplomatique doit être traitée à Hué d'un côté, et à Pékin, de l'autre.\n\nIl est évident que le commissaire général que vous enverrez au Tonkin, n'aura pas à entrer en négociations avec aucun gouvernement. Il n'aura qu'à exécuter purement et simplement les ordres qu'il recevra du ministre de la marine, je le répète, seul responsable, en vertu surtout de l'article 3, introduit par la Chambre des députés, puisqu'il est seul obligé de rendre compte au Parlement de ce qui s'est passé pendant le courant de l'année.\n\nJ'arrive maintenant au troisième paragraphe, et c'est sur le troisième paragraphe que, je crois, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères n'a pas compris, sans doute par ma faute, puisque j'ai pris la parole au nom de la commission, n'a, je crois, peut-être pas bien compris, dis-je, quelle était la pensée de la commission.\n\nPour mieux me faire comprendre, je tiendrais à dire au Sénat comment les choses passent dans les colonies qui ont déjà un gouverneur...",

En d'autres termes, le gouverneur seul responsable de la sécurité, de la défense de la colonie dont l'administration lui est confiée, s'il y a un soulèvement, une menace d'attaque, s'il y a des émeutes, donne l'ordre au commandant militaire ou au commandant de la marine d'agir et se concerte sur l'emploi des forces à mettre en mouvement; dans ces colonies, tout marche d'autant mieux que le commandant militaire fait partie du conseil privé ou du conseil d'administration sans l'avis duquel le gouverneur ne peut prendre une résolution.\n\navec eux\n\nAu Tonkin, cette garantie n'existe pas, et c'est pour cela que votre commission a trouvé que ce paragraphe pouvait prêter à de fausses interprétations.\n\nQue prescrit ce paragraphe? Il veut que le commissaire civil ait autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer.\n\nIl pourra donc s'occuper de la tenue, du commandement, d'une foule de points qui ne le regardent en aucune façon; il pourra, une fois les opérations commencées, intervenir dans l'action que j'appellerai technique.\n\nVous en conviendrez, ce n'est pas admissible.\n\nEn Algérie et en Tunisie, il y a dans l'une, un gouverneur civil, dans l'autre un commissaire général du Gouvernement; certainement, au point de vue politique, au point de vue de la défense, ils prennent les mesures nécessaires; ils donnent des ordres aux commandants militaires, mais ils ne s'adressent jamais aux subordonnés de ces commandants militaires. Ils n'entrent pas en correspondance directe avec eux en passant par-dessus la tête de leur chef; c'est le commandant militaire, le commandant de la marine qui transmettent à leurs subordonnés les ordres nécessaires.\n\nIl ne faut pas, d'ailleurs, croire comme on vous l'a dit, que c'est par un esprit de susceptibilité que les officiers généraux qui faisaient partie de la commission et que la commission elle-même repoussent cet article-là.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Je n'ai pas dit cela, monsieur le président.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurèguiberry, Vous avez prononcé le mot de susceptibilité.\n\nM. Jules Ferry, président du conseil. Il ne s'adressait pas à la commission.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nd'années, de citer un fait dans lequel les officiers militaires, quels qu'ils soient, ont entraîné le pays dans des entreprises fâcheuses.\n\nAnnée Fitt\n\nGouvernement. Je suis convaincu, à cet égard, que ce ne seront pas les ministres présents qui me démentiront.\n\nMessieurs, on a terminé en vous disant qu'il y aurait un très grand danger à renvoyer la loi devant la Chambre des députés, parce que les circonstances sont graves.\n\nOn a fait souvent allusion à cette malheureuse expédition du Mexique, qui a été si funeste pour nous. N'ayant recours qu'à l'histoire ou aux renseignements que j'ai lus, puisqu'à cette époque, je faisais mon devoir sur les bâtiments de la flotte sans m'occuper de ce qui se passait dans les conseils du Gouvernement, je puis affirmer que ce ne sont pas les officiers militaires qui ont poussé à l'expédition. Je dirai même plus, c'est que je connais un officier général qui a fait tout ce qu'il a pu pour démontrer les suites fâcheuses qu'aurait l'expédition sans se préoccuper de la disgrâce dans laquelle il pouvait tomber.\n\nUn sénateur à droite. C'est pour cela qu'il ne faut pas des commissaires civils.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurèguiberry. Enfin, je demande pardon au Sénat de parler ainsi à bâtons rompus (Mais non! à droite. Parlez! parlez!) - on nous a cité le sénatus-consulte de 1854 qui attribue au gouverneur des colonies le commandement des forces de terre et de mer, et même une partie des attributions du pouvoir souverain. Je ferai remarquer d'abord qu'en 1854 il n'y avait pas de gouverneurs civils des colonies, excepté dans l'Inde, et dans cette colonie, vous le savez, il n'y a que deux compagnies de cipayes, qui n'ont aucune importance.\n\nDe plus, les attributions de souveraineté données aux gouverneurs à cette époque sont très modifiées aujourd'hui. Alors, il n'y avait pas de communications télégraphiques, il n'y avait pas de paquebots rapides pour porter aux colonies les ordres de la métropole, et il fallait bien attribuer aux gouverneurs certains droits spéciaux.\n\nAujourd'hui, il n'en est pas de même : la position de l'autorité civile vis-à-vis de l'autorité militaire est réglée d'une manière nette et précise, et je puis affirmer que, pendant trente-deux mois de ministère, je n'ai jamais vu aucun conflit s'élever entre les gouverneurs et les commandants militaires. Je dois dire, il est vrai, que le département de la marine et des colonies avait pris toutes les mesures nécessaires pour établir d'une manière nette et précise les règles qui déterminaient les attributions de chacun.\n\nC'est ainsi du reste que l'on agit dans les colonies anglaises et dans les colonies hollandaises.\n\nVous savez que le gouvernement anglais envoie dans ses colonies, des gouverneurs, des gouverneurs généraux et même des vice-rois qui sont rarement militaires; il n'y a jamais eu de conflits, et cela parce que les attributions sont bien déterminées.\n\nMais ces attributions ne doivent pas figurer dans une loi... (Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nM. Buffet. C'est cela!\n\nM. l'amiral Jaureguiberry. Ce mot s'appliquait peut-être aux officiers supérieurs des forces de terre et de mer. Or, je puis affirmer au Sénat, que dans la marine, comme dans l'armée, toutes les susceptibilités amènent leur pavillon devant l'honneur de la patrie. (Très bien! très bien!) et lorsqu'un gouverneur quel qu'il soit, civil ou militaire, donne un ordre qui concerne la défense du pays, la sécurité du sol qu'ils sont chargés de défendre, tous les officiers obéissent sans protester et laissent toutes ces questions de susceptibilité de côté. (Non! - Marques d'approbation.)\n\nLes officiers militaires cèdent, dit-on encore, à des entraînements. Je ne sais pas si on pourrait me citer des exemples à l'appui de cette assertion. Les officiers militaires sont habitués à exécuter les ordres qu'on leur donne. Certainement, dans une expédition où ils ont reçu l'ordre d'occuper tel ou tel point, s'il faut pour la défense de ce point ou pour la sécurité aller un peu plus loin, ils sont obligés de le faire, sans cela ils manqueraient à leurs premiers devoirs; mais je crois qu'il serait bien difficile, depuis un certain nombre\n\nM. l'amiral Jauréguiberry...\n\nparce qu'elles peuvent être modifiées par les circonstances et que la définition de ces attributions par des circulaires, des arrêtés ministériels et même par des décrets si cela est nécessaire, est seul en mesure de régler parfaitement la question.\n\nVous en conviendrez, si chaque fois que le Gouvernement vient introduire une modification, il faut qu'il se transporte devant le Parlement, toutes les affaires seront constamment en souffrance; d'autant plus que le Parlement se compose d'hommes; et ces hommes peuvent avoir quelquefois des passions, des vues personnelles. (Sourires approbatifs à droite)... qui entravent parfois l'action du\n\nAnhão 1883\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n303\n\n25 Mai [SÉNAT] 551\n\nUn sénateur à gauche. C'est clair!\n\naffaires d'une extrême gravité de telle façon qu'à l'heure qu'il est la question n'est plus de\n\nM. Buffet. Quand bien même cette interprétation du règlement serait exacte, je crois qu'il est impossible aux plus attentifs de vos collègues, —\n\nqu'il est impossible de savoir si le protectorat, dans le sens strict et légal du mot, est véritablement impliqué dans ce traité, mais si ce traité lui-même existe. Voilà la question.\n\nPoint quelques explications qui, jusqu'ici, n'ont pas été données. En effet, dans l'hypothèse même de la suppression de l'article, l'intention du Gouvernement est d'envoyer un commissaire civil.\n\nPhonorable M. de Saint Vallier - de savoir exactement sur quoi nous discutons. Dans tous les cas, que ce soit dans le rapport - et j'ai écouté avec la plus grande attention la lecture du rapport de la commission - ou dans les explications qui ont été données, je n'ai pas pu saisir clairement ce point.\n\nEh bien, messieurs, je crois au patriotisme de la Chambre et je suis convaincu que lorsqu'elle verra qu'elle a introduit dans une loi des dispositions que le Gouvernement n'avait pas demandées et qui doivent être réexaminées par des arrêtés ministeurs, des circulaires, elle comprendra la nécessité d'agir promptement, et elle ne soulèvera pas de difficultés sérieuses. (Marques d'approbation sur divers bancs.)\n\nMais je me permets de dire que, réglementairement, on ne peut pas considérer comme non avenu un article voté par la Chambre des députés. Le texte dont le Sénat est saisi est celui qui a été voté par la Chambre; il n'appartient qu'au Sénat de modifier ou d'en supprimer une partie. Le Sénat seul peut, par un vote, opérer cette modification.\n\nJe crois, messieurs, que cette affaire est assez grave, qu'elle fait peser sur ceux qui sont appelés à prendre une décision une responsabilité assez lourde pour qu'on veuille bien écouter en silence les très courtes observations que mon devoir me commande de présenter au Sénat. (Très bien ! à droite.)\n\nLorsque le traité de 1874 a été conclu, ou dans le rapport, n'en est pas moins une chose excessivement grave; et si, pour ma part, je n'éprouvais aucun scrupule à voter le crédit nécessaire pour permettre au Gouvernement français de faire exécuter un traité existant et dont les dispositions ont été souvent méconnues, je ne suis nullement disposé à donner à notre situation au Tonkin et dans l'Annam un autre caractère que celui qu'elle a eu jusqu'à présent.\n\nMais, dans l'hypothèse contraire, je croirais encore nécessaire, je le répète, de demander à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères une explication sur le projet que le Gouvernement a formellement manifesté à cette tribune d'envoyer un commissaire général civil et de lui conférer certaines attributions.\n\nNous avons donc fait le traité. Eh bien, neuf années d'expérience, ce qui s'est passé dans cet intervalle, la situation actuelle dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, la connivence du gouvernement d'Annam avec les bandes de pirates chinois, les réclamations de la Chine suscitées, à grand renfort d'ambassadeurs, par le gouvernement d'Annam, les paroles comminatoires qu'on lui attribue, les pensées d'agression qu'on lui prête — à tort j'en suis sûr, — prouvent assez que le protectorat était indispensable pour la sûreté de notre commerce et de nos établissements.\n\nS'il s'agit d'aller organiser une administration française au Tonkin, de nous y établir à peu près comme nous nous sommes établis en Tunisie, je vous déclare qu'à ce dessein, s'il est celui du Gouvernement, qu'il soit approuvé par le rapport ou sanctionné par\n\ncitement mon assentiment. (Très bien! à droite,)\n\nexécuter le traité, s'il s'agit de châtier et de détruire les pirates qui entravent la libre navigation du fleuve Rouge, j'y consens, mais à condition, c'est que ces pirates du fleuve Rouge ne seront pas les Kroumirs de l'extrême-Orient... (Exclamations à gauche. Très bien ! et rires approbatifs à droite.)\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. M. le rapporteur de la commission l'avait dit avant lui: «Nous allons simplement exiger, et au besoin par la force, l'exécution du traité signé en 1874 entre la France et l'empereur d'Annam. Nous ne poursuivons pas un autre but.»\n\nM. Buffet. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Buffet.\n\nM. Buffet. Je ne veux pas, messieurs, reprendre la question que viennent déjà de traiter, avec de longs développements, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et, après lui, M. l'amiral Jaureguiberry, dont j'approuve les objections.\n\nJe me demande alors ce que signifie le 1er paragraphe de l'article 2: «La haute administration sera confiée à un commissaire général civil de la République, chargé d'organiser le protectorat.»\n\nJ'ai parcouru l'autre jour, un peu rapidement il est vrai, le traité existant avec l'empereur d'Annam; il n'y est nullement question de protectorat. D'après ce traité, nous n'avons rien à administrer du tout au Tonkin.\n\nVous voulez donc faire quelque chose de nouveau et revendiquer des droits que le traité de 1874 ne vous conférait pas.\n\nM. le général Pélissier, membre de la commission, et plusieurs sénateurs à gauche. L'article 2 est supprimé.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Cet article n'existe plus.\n\nM. de Saint Vallier, rapporteur. C'est indiqué dans le rapport.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Le rapport dit que le projet sera complété par les dispositions reconnues nécessaires. (Interruptions à droite.)\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Nous n'aurons pas le rapport sous les yeux. (Bruit à gauche.)\n\nM. Chesnelong. Mais le fait de l'envoi d'un commissaire civil subsiste!\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty, s'adressant à la présidente me l'avait dit avant la discussion! Vous avez demandé l'urgence sans que le président me l'avait dit avant la discussion! Vous avez demandé l'urgence sans que le Sénat n'ayant pas à le voter, il était superflu de discuter.\n\nM. Buffet... et que le châtiment qu'on veut leur infliger n'aura pas pour conséquence l'établissement d'une organisation française, d'une administration française dans le Tonkin.\n\nC'est sur ce point particulièrement que je désirerais avoir quelques explications précises de M. le ministre des affaires étrangères. (Vive approbation à droite.)\n\nBur\n\nl'heure qu'il est? Nous allons rendre ce protectorat effectif; nous allons, ne pouvant plus compter — nous n'y comptons plus — l'exécution sincère, loyale, complète du traité de 1874 par le gouvernement d'Annam, faire du protectorat une vérité. Pour cela, nous comptons exercer à peu d'intervalle ou simultanément une double action à Hué et au Tonkin.\n\nA Hué d'abord, où, vous le savez, nous avons envoyé un agent de la plus haute distinction.\n\nCet agent, messieurs, est chargé de demander deux choses; la première, c'est que le gouvernement d'Annam se décide enfin à nous prêter, comme il le doit aux termes du traité de 1874, son concours, cette fois franchement, sans réserve, sans menées souterraines pour rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité au Tonkin; et qu'il veuille bien en même temps, enjoindre aux mandarins qui sont au Tonkin, à la tête des diverses provinces, de rester à leur poste et de nous aider, eux aussi, à maintenir la paix et l'ordre, comme c'est leur devoir. Voilà notre première demande.\n\nLa seconde, c'est que ce traité de 1874, que nous considérons comme clair, quoiqu'il contienne des clauses restrictives, fâcheuses, qui ont fourni et qui fournissent encore au gouvernement d'Annam des prétextes pour colorer ses infractions, pour éluder ses engagements; c'est que ce traité de 1874, dis-je, soit complété, ou revisé, ou remplacé. (Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nVoilà ce que nous comptons faire à Hué. Résolus comme nous le sommes à remplir nos engagements, non moins résolus à exiger que les engagements qu'on a pris envers nous soient exécutés, une fois en règle à l'égard du roi d'Annam, lorsque nous lui aurons donné\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères, Messieurs, je vais m'efforcer de répandre, avec la précision que demande M. Buffet et autant de brièveté que je le pourrai, aux observations qu'il vient de présenter au Sénat.\n\nIl me semble qu'il serait à peu près inutile à cette heure et même un peu naïf de rechercher quelle est, au vrai, la portée, le caractère, la signification du traité conclu en 1874.\n\nSelon nous, l'idée du protectorat y est formellement consignée, quoique le nom en soit absent.\n\nNous pensons que la clause qui constitue l'essence même du protectorat, et à laquelle sont attachés tous les effets qui en dérivent, suffit pour caractériser et définir le sens de ce traité.\n\nMais à quoi bon nous attarder à cet examen. Les violations du traité de 1874 ont été et sont encore si nombreuses, les clauses principales qu'il contenait ont été si souvent enfreintes,\n\nprêter, comme il le doit aux termes du traité de 1874, son concours, cette fois franchement, sans réserve, sans menées souterraines pour rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité au Tonkin; et qu'il veuille bien en même temps, enjoindre aux mandarins qui sont au Tonkin, à la tête des diverses provinces, de rester à leur poste et de nous aider, eux aussi, à maintenir la paix et l'ordre, comme c'est leur devoir. Voilà notre première demande.\n\nLa seconde, c'est que ce traité de 1874, que nous considérons comme clair, quoiqu'il contienne des clauses restrictives, fâcheuses, qui ont fourni et qui fournissent encore au gouvernement d'Annam des prétextes pour colorer ses infractions, pour éluder ses engagements; c'est que ce traité de 1874, dis-je, soit complété, ou revisé, ou remplacé.

Il n'a fait l'objet d'aucun vote. Il est supprimé par prétérition.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\npas moins pris sans retard toutes les mesures en son pouvoir.\n\nJ'ai immédiatement donné l'ordre d'expédier les transports qui doivent emporter les troupes en vertu de la loi que vous avez votée, et je me suis cru autorisé dans cette circonstance à ne pas attendre votre nouveau vote. (Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nJ'ai donné l'ordre, en outre, d'envoyer au Tonkin un officier général des plus distingués de l'infanterie de marine, le général Brière de l'Isle, commandant militaire de Cochinchine. C'est lui qui va prendre le commandement supérieur des troupes du Tonkin.\n\nLa commission du Sénat a élevé, contre cette partie de la loi que vous avez votée, des critiques sur le mérite desquelles le Sénat n'a, en effet, pas eu à se prononcer, puisque l'article 2 a été retiré avant le vote.\n\nJ'ai ensuite prévenu M. Thomson qu'il devait envoyer au Tonkin toutes les troupes dont il peut disposer, en l'avertissant que le Bien-Hoa, qui fait le service ordinaire et qui arrivera le 20 juin, lui amènera 450 hommes de renfort, ce qui lui permet de disposer dès à présent de 450 hommes qu'il pourra envoyer immédiatement au Tonkin avec la certitude qu'ils seront remplacés à bref délai.\n\nA cours de la discussion qui a eu lieu devant l'autre Assemblée, le ministre a abandonné l'article 2, mais il l'a défendu contre les attaques mal fondées, du reste, dont il était l'objet, et il a reproduit les déclarations qui en faisaient l'objet.\n\nCes circonstances ont paru à l'unanimité de votre commission, moins une voix, constituer une garantie suffisante et de nature à permettre sans inconvénient de supprimer le texte de l'article 2, dont l'esprit subsiste avec toute son efficacité pratique. (Très bien ! très bien ! à gauche.)\n\nJe dois faire connaître à la Chambre que, depuis l'ouverture de la séance, la commission s'est réunie et a reçu de M. le ministre de la marine une communication qui doit être connue de tous.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. C'est au Gouvernement à faire cette communication !\n\nM. Blancsubé. Je suis autorisé à la faire de la part du Gouvernement, à moins toutefois que M. le ministre de la marine ne préfère la faire lui-même.\n\nVoix nombreuses. Oui ! oui !\n\nM. Charles Brun, ministre de la marine et des colonies. Je suis aux ordres de la Chambre. (Parlez ! parlez !)\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre de la marine et des colonies.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine et des colonies. Messieurs, le Gouvernement a reçu ce matin une dépêche dont je vais vous donner lecture, et qui a été déposée hier à cinq heures du soir à Saigon ; elle m'est adressée par M. l'amiral Meyer, commandant la division navale de la Chine, en ce moment sur les côtes du Tonkin. Elle est ainsi conçue :\n\nJ'apprends à l'instant la nouvelle d'une sortie malheureuse à Hanoi. Commandant Rivière tué. Officier supérieur mortellement blessé. Renforts considérables indispensables. 14 hommes tués, 22 blessés dans les compagnies de débarquement.\n\nJe me rends à Haï-Phong pour diriger renforts et organiser défense.\n\nLe Gouvernement avait reçu, il y a huit jours, une dépêche qui lui annonçait que cette sortie devait avoir lieu. M. Rivière faisait savoir qu'entouré par de nombreuses bandes anamites qui envoyaient sur Hanoi des coups de fusil et des coups de canon, il croyait nécessaire de se dégager par une sortie. Il n'avait avec lui que 400 hommes, ce qui était insuffisant pour le lui permettre. C'est alors qu'il a demandé à l'amiral Meyer l'appui des compagnies de débarquement.\n\nLe commandant Rivière ne demandait ces compagnies que pour quelques jours, et il semblait complètement assuré du résultat.\n\nNous attendons en ce moment des renseignements complémentaires.\n\nLa dépêche, comme vous le voyez, est extrêmement brève.\n\nTelles sont les mesures qui ont pu être prises dès à présent.\n\nEn présence des événements qui viennent de s'accomplir, le Gouvernement vous demande, messieurs, de discuter immédiatement le projet de loi qui revient du Sénat et de l'adopter sans discussion. (Nombreuses marques d'assentiment.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Perin.\n\nM. Cuneo d'Ornano. Le Gouvernement n'a pas dit un mot de regret pour le commandant Rivière !\n\nM. le président. Ne prenez pas la parole sans l'avoir obtenue, monsieur Cuneo d'Ornano.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Messieurs, la triste nouvelle que M. le ministre de la marine vient de nous apporter relativement aux événements du Tonkin modifie sans doute la résolution de ceux de nos honorables collègues qui avaient cru devoir refuser le crédit, il y a quelques jours. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nNotre liberté d'action, je l'estime, du moins quant à moi, n'est plus entière ; il ne s'agit plus en ce moment de savoir si nous devons occuper ou non le Tonkin.\n\nIl s'agit de tout autre chose : un devoir strict s'impose à la Chambre, c'est celui d'aller au secours des soldats français qui, à l'heure où je parle, sont engagés au Tonkin, et qui y seraient plus qu'engagés, qui seraient probablement perdus, si nous n'envoyions des troupes de renfort. (Nouveaux applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nJe crois que le Gouvernement comprendra la nécessité de faire toute diligence, et il ne faut pas qu'il rencontre d'obstacle du côté du Parlement.\n\nNous devons, messieurs, aller venger la mort du commandant Rivière et de ceux qui sont tombés vaillamment à ses côtés ; du commandant Rivière, officier distingué entre tous... (Applaudissements prolongés sur tous les bancs.)\n\nM. Haentjens. Le Gouvernement n'a pas eu un mot de sympathie pour les soldats tués. (C'est vrai à droite. — Murmures à gauche.)\n\nM. Georges Perin, se tournant vers la droite. Je suis surpris que mes honorables collègues de ce côté de la Chambre ne se contentent pas d'applaudir aux paroles que je viens de prononcer à propos du commandant Rivière et croient devoir reprocher au Gouvernement un silence... (Oui ! oui ! à droite) qui était le résultat de l'émotion bien naturelle...\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nVoix à gauche. C'est cela ! c'est évident !\n\nM. Georges Perin. Préoccupé de vous annoncer les graves et tristes événements qui viennent de se passer au Tonkin, très ému, je le répète, M. le ministre de la marine a négligé de reproduire ici l'éloge du commandant Rivière, éloge qui avait été déjà fait et par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et par M. le ministre de la marine lui-même, éloge qui, d'ailleurs, était dans l'esprit de tous. Ne lui en faites pas un crime. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nVoix à droite. C'était un devoir pour le Gouvernement de le faire.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Vraiment, dans ces circonstances, je crois qu'il est meilleur, qu'il est plus patriotique, permettez-moi de le dire, mes chers collègues, de nous unir tous (Très bien ! très bien !) pour déclarer qu'un grand devoir s'impose au Parlement : aller sans retard au secours de nos soldats en danger, venger la mort de ceux qui ont succombé et, entre tous, de cet officier de mérite, de cet homme distingué qui avait su, depuis quinze mois, au milieu des difficultés les plus grandes, sauvegarder notre situation au Tonkin, montrant dans l'accomplissement de sa tâche autant d'énergie que d'habileté et de prudence. Cette mort est, surtout à l'heure actuelle, une grande perte, et je la déplore profondément. (Applaudissements.)\n\nCeci dit, je n'ajouterai qu'un mot : c'est que ceux de mes honorables collègues qui n'ont pas voté primitivement le crédit et qui le voteront aujourd'hui ne le voteront pas parce que leur opinion se sera modifiée quant au fond. (Très bien à droite et sur quelques bancs à gauche)\n\nPour moi, messieurs, mon opinion est la même, et les malheureux événements qui viennent de se produire me donnent, hélas ! raison plus tôt que je ne croyais. (Réclamations sur quelques bancs à gauche.)\n\nJ'estime plus que jamais que l'expédition au Tonkin est plus complexe, plus difficile qu'on ne paraissait le croire, mais je me garde bien de revenir sur cette question.\n\nIl s'agit en ce moment de secourir nos soldats, de dégager notre pavillon. Sur ce terrain, il ne saurait y avoir de désaccord entre les membres de cette Chambre et je suis convaincu que tous nous voterons le crédit demandé. (Vifs applaudissements.)\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Jules Delafosse. (Exclamations à gauche. — Parlez ! parlez ! à droite.)\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Messieurs, j'ai combattu, de concert avec l'honorable M. Perin, le crédit qui vous était demandé pour l'expédition du Tonkin. Je ne prends aujourd'hui la parole que pour m'associer à la déclaration... (Interruptions à gauche)\n\nAnnée 1885\n\n311\n\navec la Chine... (Exclamations à gauche. Très bien à droite.) ...parce que je crois que c'est de là que vient l'échec, et que c'est là qu'est le danger (Très bien à droite. - Aux voix ! aux voix !)\n\nM. le président. Je mets aux voix la clôture de la discussion générale.\n\nM. Blancsubé, rapporteur. Je demande la parole.\n\nVoix nombreuses. La clôture ! la clôture !\n\nM. le rapporteur. Je voudrais faire, moi aussi, une déclaration. (Non ! non ! - La clôture !)\n\nM. le président. Vous la ferez sur l'article 1er.\n\nM. le rapporteur, de sa place. Permettez-moi d'insister. Tout à l'heure, j'ai été interrompu, on a désiré que M. le ministre donnât lui-même connaissance à la Chambre d'un fait communiqué à la commission. Cette communication à la commission a fait tomber une opposition que j'avais maintenue jusqu'à présent en ce qui concerne l'article 2 du projet de loi. (Très bien ! - Aux voix !)\n\nM. le président. Je consulte la Chambre sur la clôture de la discussion générale.\n\nLa clôture de la discussion générale est mise aux voix et prononcée. -- La Chambre décide ensuite qu'elle passe à la discussion des articles.\n\nArt. 1er. - Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 fr., qui sera classé à la 2e section, service colonial, chapitre 9 (service du Tonkin).\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(L'article 1 est mis aux voix et adopté.)\n\nArt. 2. Le ministre de la marine et des colonies rendra compte, chaque année, à partir du 31 décembre 1883, des opérations auxquelles donnera lieu le service du Tonkin, au moyen d'un rapport adressé au Président de la République et distribué au Sénat et à la Chambre des députés. » - (Adopté.)\n\nIl est procédé, sur l'ensemble du projet de loi, à un scrutin public dont le dépouillement donne le résultat suivant :\n\nNombre des votants.. 494\n\nMajorité absolue......... 248\n\nPour l'adoption................ 494\n\nContre...... 0\n\nLa Chambre des députés a adopté.\n\nSUITE DE LA DISCUSSION DU PROJET ET DES PROPOSITIONS DE LOI SUR LA RÉFORME DE L'ORGANISATION JUDICIAIRE.\n\nM. le président. L'ordre du jour appelle la suite de la discussion du projet et des propositions de loi sur la réforme de l'organisation judiciaire.\n\nM. le président. Messieurs, veuillez faire silence. Qu'y a-t-il, je vous prie de le remarquer, de plus noble et j'ajouterai de plus utile que ce qui se passe en ce moment...\n\nLa parole est à M. le garde des sceaux.\n\nM. Martin-Feuillée, garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes. Messieurs, je... (Applaudissements), à savoir, la constatation, l'unanimité de la Chambre... (Nouveaux applaudissements) : Gouvernement, opposition, majorité, minorité, pour envoyer le témoignage de notre admiration à ceux qui ont si vaillamment combattu pour la France ? (Vifs applaudissements.)\n\nJe cueille ce témoignage, de quelque part qu'il vienne, et arrivez promptement au vote du projet de loi. (Marques d'assentiment.)\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Messieurs, les paroles de l'honorable président de la Chambre dispensent de m'expliquer plus longuement... (Interruptions à droite. --- Applaudissements sur plusieurs bancs à gauche.)\n\nM.

Elle n'est pas blâmée par M. Goblet, et je ne crois pas qu'elle le soit par M. Ribot.\n\nM. Ribot. Non! non!\n\nM. le garde des sceaux. Elle est admise, je le répète; depuis un demi-siècle par les hommes compétents de tous les partis. Eh bien, je demande comment vous pourrez l'opérer sans accorder au Gouvernement, et c'est là ma première observation, le droit de réorganiser le personnel dans son ensemble.\n\nAh! je le sais bien, il y a le système de M. de Soland.\n\nM. de Soland trouve aussi, lui, qu'il faut réduire le personnel judiciaire; mais, dit-il, il faut procéder par extinction.\n\nMais alors nous ne pourrons pas opérer de réduction par extinction dans les petits tribunaux, puisque déjà ils n'ont que le nombre de juges nécessaire; il faudra dans ces petits tribunaux pourvoir aux vacances au fur et à mesure qu'elles se produiront; nous ne pourrons pas non plus augmenter le traitement, car nous ferions supporter, au budget une charge considérable; dans cette situation, c'est uniquement dans les tribunaux plus importants et dans les cours où les réductions sont opérées qu'on procédera par extinction; et cependant il faudra, sans augmenter les traitements, continuer le recrutement dans les tribunaux inférieurs et y appeler des hommes qui n'auront plus jamais aucune chance d'en sortir. On n'en trouvera pas. Votre système rendrait le recrutement de la magistrature absolument impossible.\n\nM. de Soland. Nous verrons cela!\n\nM. le garde des sceaux. Il y a un autre système, c'est celui de M. Boyer. M. Boyer nous propose de nous séparer des plus jeunes magistrats, de ceux qui ont été nommés dans ces dernières années, par les ministres républicains, et de garder les autres. (On rit.) Je ne crois pas qu'il soit très nécessaire de m'appesantir sur cette manière d'opérer la réduction du personnel judiciaire. (Marques d'assentiment à gauche et au centre.)\n\nM. Saint-Romme. C'est de l'épuration cela!\n\nM. le garde des sceaux. Enfin, messieurs, un troisième système se produira peut-être. On nous dira: Mais prenez chaque cour, chaque tribunal, sur lequel vous voulez opérer une réduction, et faites, sur cette cour, sur ce tribunal, envisagés individuellement et isolément, les réductions nécessaires.\n\nLe troisième système, messieurs, a encore, à peu près, les mêmes inconvénients que celui de M. Boyer; il aurait très souvent pour résultat de nous contraindre à nous séparer des magistrats les plus capables, les plus dévoués, et à garder les autres.\n\nEt alors, si tous ces systèmes sont impraticables, je dis qu'ils le sont, les partisans les plus convaincus de l'inamovibilité, s'ils croient qu'il est utile de réduire le nombre des magistrats et d'augmenter leurs traitements, vont être obligés de reconnaître qu'il n'y a qu'un seul système à adopter pour y arriver, c'est d'opérer sur l'ensemble du personnel.\n\nL'inamovibilité ne saurait être un obstacle à ce mode de procéder. Car enfin, messieurs, l'inamovibilité n'est pas un dogme.\n\nM. Charles Floquet. Elle n'a jamais existé.\n\nM. le garde des sceaux. Ce n'est pas un principe constitutionnel; on n'en trouve pas trace dans la Constitution de 1875.\n\nREGS 16 JUN 85,\n\n312",

Depuis l'arrivée de nos bâtiments, vous avez encore augmenté vos armes et vos soldats, excité la population contre nous et proféré contre les Français des insultes et des menaces.\n\nVous avez fait tout cela sans avoir été provoqué par nous, car j'avais même recommandé à mes capitaines de bâtiments de ne pas s'apercevoir de votre mauvaise volonté et d'user toujours de courtoisie avec vous, et si vous n'aviez pas fait de barrages, je ne vous aurais pas demandé raison de vos autres actes,\n\nLa situation dont vous êtes seul la cause ne peut pas durer. Il faut, pour le respect qui nous est dû, pour la liberté de notre navigation, pour notre sécurité au Tonkin, pour que la paix ne soit plus menacée par vous, que la citadelle de Nam-Dinh soit désormais inoffensive pour nous, Et, pour cela, il faut que vous la remettiez entre mes mains.\n\nLa citadelle ayant dès lors cessé d'être une ennemie pour nous, nous pourrons vivre avec vous dans de bons termes et vous pourrez garder avec vos mandarins l'administration de la ville et de la province. Si vous acceptez ces conditions, vous aurez, vous et vos mandarins, le Thuan-Phu et le Quan-An, à venir me voir demain matin à huit heures.\n\nSi vous n'êtes pas venu à bord, demain matin, à huit heures, de mon grand bâtiment blanc, je serai forcé de vous traiter en ennemi.\n\nLe délai que je vous indique est court, mais vous devez avoir réfléchi depuis assez longtemps aux conséquences de votre conduite envers nous pour que vous ne soyez pas étonné du peu de temps que je vous laisse pour prendre une décision. De cette décision dépendra, entre nous, la paix ou la guerre.\n\nVeuillez recevoir, etc.\n\nLe commandant en chef des troupes françaises,\n\nSigné: H.

L'ordre du jour appelle la question de M. le duc de Broglie à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nLa parole est à M. le duc de Broglie.\n\nM. le duc de Broglie. Messieurs, je retiendrai très peu de temps le Sénat; la question que je veux poser à M. le ministre est très courte et le développement que je lui donnerai le sera également.\n\nElle est conçue en ces termes : Quel est l'état exact de nos relations actuelles avec l'empire d'Annam? Sommes-nous en guerre déclarée avec cet empire?\n\nComme le Sénat le verra et comme j'en avais prévenu M. le ministre, je n'ai nullement l'intention, à propos de cette interrogation, de solliciter du Gouvernement une explication nouvelle sur l'ensemble des opérations militaires et diplomatiques qui se poursuivent en ce moment dans l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nCe n'est pas que j'aie trouvé toutes les explications données soit à cette tribune, soit à celle de la Chambre des députés, pleinement satisfaisantes; elles laissent, au contraire, dans mon esprit, beaucoup d'obscurités et quelques alarmes; mais je ne sais pas si M. le ministre serait en mesure de nous en donner de plus complètes, et, en tout cas, je n'ai pas l'espoir de les obtenir de lui.\n\nJe crois donc qu'il est préférable de laisser au Gouvernement la responsabilité tout entière, sans l'aggraver par des questions indiscrètes et sans l'atténuer par des témoignages de confiance qui pourraient être prématurés.\n\nJe borne donc ma question à demander à M. le ministre le sens vérifiable d'une parole qu'il a prononcée à la tribune de la Chambre des députés, parole qui donne lieu à des commentaires de plusieurs genres dans la presse française et également, si je ne me trompe, dans une partie de la presse étrangère.\n\nFaisant l'exposé des faits qui avaient, suivant lui, rendu nécessaire notre expédition du Tonkin, M. le ministre a raconté comment il avait d'abord essayé d'agir à la cour de Hué par voie diplomatique pour décider l'empereur d'Annam à faire cesser lui-même les troubles de cette province.\n\nIl avait essayé d'obtenir par cette voie l'exécution et peut-être la revision du traité de 1874 qui nous lie avec l'Annam.\n\nIl était même sur le point de faire partir un ministre extraordinaire pour mener à bonne fin cette négociation; mais, a-t-il ajouté, au moment où ce ministre était à la veille de se mettre en route, les choses ont changé de face.\n\nL'attitude prise par le gouvernement de Tu Duc est devenue tellement hostile qu'elle rend toute négociation impossible.\n\nIl a fallu dès lors renoncer à l'action diplomatique, et le représentant envoyé par la France doit avoir eu recours, ce fut l'expression du ministre, à un autre genre d'action.\n\nInterrompu alors par un député qui s'écria: Alors, c'est la guerre? M. le ministre n'a pas hésité à répondre: Oui, c'est la guerre, et personne n'en a jamais douté.\n\nVous voudrez bien remarquer que M. le ministre n'a pas dit: Ce serait la guerre dans telle hypothèse ou ce sera la guerre quand tel fait sera réalisé; mais affirmativement: C'est la guerre, aujourd'hui même, et personne n'en peut douter.\n\nJe me permets de lui demander si, en se servant du mot de « guerre », il a eu l'intention de donner à cette expression l'étendue et la précision qu'elle comporte dans notre langue constitutionnelle et dans la langue diplomatique de toute l'Europe.\n\nVous savez, en effet, dans quel article de nos lois constitutionnelles se rencontre ce mot de guerre : c'est dans l'article 9 de la loi du 18 juillet 1875, conçu en ces termes :\n\nLe Président de la République ne peut déclarer la guerre sans l'assentiment des deux Chambres.\n\n...\n\nM. Challemel-Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères. Messieurs, dans la lettre qu'il m'a fait l'honneur de m'écrire pour m'exprimer son désir de me poser une question, M. le duc de Broglie m'a dit qu'elle ne comportait qu'une réponse très courte; et il l'a développée dans un discours étudié et important comme tout ce qui vient de lui.\n\nIl m'a annoncé une question de fait, et il soulève des points de doctrine controversés depuis longtemps, des problèmes qui ont trait au blocus, à la neutralité maritime, toutes questions extrêmement graves qui n'étaient nullement impliquées dans la question de fait qu'il se proposait de formuler à cette tribune, et sur lesquelles je ne pourrai certainement donner qu'une réponse insuffisante, peut-être incomplète; je l'aurais pu donner moins incomplète si, mieux averti, j'avais pu moi aussi consulter mes auteurs.\n\nJe ne prétends pas aller au secours de l'empereur Tu-Duc pour le délivrer des Pavillons Noirs qui sont qu'une partie et une avant-garde de l'armée régulière de Tu-Duc.\n\nDès lors, la question se pose d'une façon plus nette : quel jour et à quelle heure la déclaration de guerre faite à l'empereur d'Annam a-t-elle reçu l'assentiment des deux Chambres?\n\nSi M. le ministre, se servant du mot de « guerre », lui a prêté le même sens que l'article de la loi constitutionnelle, une question se pose : la guerre a-t-elle été engagée sans notre assentiment, ou quel jour l'avons-nous déclarée?\n\nTout le monde sait encore que les belligérants sont en droit d'établir un blocus sur un point quelconque des côtes du pays ennemi, pourvu que ce blocus soit effectif, c'est-à-dire appuyé sur des forces suffisantes, et qu'ils ont le droit de s'opposer par la force à laisser traverser les lignes de blocus même par les bâtiments de guerre des puissances neutres.\n\nLorsque, il y a trois mois, notre chargé d'affaires à Hué a jugé le moment venu de se retirer, le gouvernement d'Annam, après avoir essayé de le retenir, ou par crainte des conséquences éventuelles d'une rupture de relations, ou peut-être dans les pensées inavouées de le conserver comme un stage entre ses mains, le gouvernement s'est empressé de dépêcher à Saigon deux hauts fonctionnaires pour s'informer de la signification de ce départ, et il s'est montré extrêmement satisfait d'apprendre qu'il n'impliquait nullement une rupture de relations diplomatiques.\n\n...",

        "content_text": "968\n\n22 Jallet [SENAT]\n\nle relations et qu'un nouvel envoyé extraordinaire était sur le point de partir pour [Hué].\n\nNous sommes, depuis peu de jours, en possession de plusieurs lettres importantes adressées au gouverneur de la Cochinchine par Thoung Bac, le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nNous avons de longue date averti le gouvernement d'Annam de ce que nous voulions faire au Tonkin, et nous n'avons pas besoin d'autre déclaration. Nous lui avons fait savoir que nous étions au Tonkin et que nous y resterions pour y faire prévaloir les droits qui nous appartiennent, en vertu des traités, pour y remplir les obligations qui nous sont imposées. Nous l'avons averti que nous considérions Hué, personnage important, plus puissant peut-être que l'empereur lui-même.\n\nCes lettres, qui sont un chef-d'œuvre de diplomatie orientale, toutes remplies de protestations obséquieuses, de récriminations vagues, de menaces obscures qu'il est difficile de démêler, vont de mai à la fin du mois, c'est-à-dire qu'elles se rapportent précisément à la période où se préparaient et se sont accomplis les événements dans lesquels le commandant Rivière a perdu la vie.\n\nEh bien, messieurs, ces lettres, à qui voudrait les prendre dans leur sens apparent, ne témoigneraient que du désir de vivre en paix avec nous, de la volonté de contenir les passions au Tonkin et de la crainte de n'y pas réussir, du dessein amical d'envoyer une escorte au-devant de notre nouvel agent pour le recevoir avec les honneurs dus au représentant de la France; si, en même temps, on n'y voyait des insinuations multipliées et fort claires destinées à faire entendre que cet envoyé ferait bien de ne pas partir, car on ne serait peut-être pas en mesure de garantir à lui sa sécurité.\n\nDans tout cela, messieurs, il est difficile de trouver aucune apparence de déclaration de guerre. Nous avons lu dans les gazettes chinoises que des ambassadeurs annamites auraient été envoyés dans le Céleste-Empire pour solliciter son aide contre nous. Nous n'en avons jamais été informés d'une pareille démarche, il ne nous a jamais été dit un seul mot qui pût nous donner lieu de penser que le gouvernement d'Annam se considérait comme l'allié du Céleste Empire et qu'il se crût le moins du monde autorisé à solliciter son appui.\n\nVous avez lu et nous avons également lu, dans le courant du mois de juin, une lettre adressée par l'empereur Nguyen, ou le roi d'Annam, au souverain de Ta-Dac, c'est-à-dire au roi de Corée. Dans cette lettre se trouvaient développés tous les griefs du gouvernement d'Annam contre nous et réclamée, de la manière la plus solennelle, conformément aux traditions que la Chine a invoquées récemment dans les négociations, l'aide de ce gouvernement.\n\nCette lettre, qui a tous les caractères d'un document ridiculement apocryphe et qui est probablement l'œuvre de quelque faussaire d'outre-mer, cette lettre est la seule déclaration franchement hostile en possession de laquelle nous soyons encore à l'heure qu'il est.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\ncontre nous au mois de mars, dans la part qu'ils ont prise aux événements du mois de mai, dans l'effort auquel on les voit concourir à l'heure qu'il est contre nous, s'ils n'obéissent pas aux ordres directs du gouvernement d'Annam, obéissent au moins à sa pensée. (Rumeurs à droite et au centre.)\n\nEt cela, messieurs, ne doit pas nous étonner. Dès 1875, le lendemain même de la signature du traité, le gouvernement d'Annam n'avait qu'une pensée, il ne poursuivait qu'un dessein, c'était d'annuler ou de déchirer, ou par la ruse ou par la force, le traité qu'il venait de conclure, c'était de nous éliminer non seulement de l'Annam, non seulement du Tonkin, mais de la Cochinchine.\n\nNous considérions comme impossible de sauvegarder que nos établissements de Hanoi et de Hai Phong fussent constamment, ou par son incurie ou par son impuissance, menacés dans leur existence, troublés dans leur sécurité, et que nous entendions réduire à la raison, par la force, puisqu'il n'y avait pas d'autres moyens, les bandes de Chinois ou d'Annamites qui dévastaient ou ensanglantaient le pays.\n\nEnfin, s'il est vrai, dans les événements militaires qui se sont accomplis au Tonkin, en mars et mai, nous avons rencontré devant nous des Chinois, des Annamites; mais, malgré des vraisemblances dont je dirai un mot tout à l'heure, nous ne sommes en possession d'aucune preuve absolument certaine qui nous permette de dire que ces troupes, et les chefs de troupes qui les commandent, obéissent aux ordres directs du gouvernement de Hué.\n\nIl est possible, il est, en tout cas, permis de supposer que des fonctionnaires auxquels l'autorité ne procure que des avantages sans leur imposer aucun devoir, menacés, dans le cas où la nôtre viendrait à prévaloir au Tonkin, de voir augmenter leurs devoirs et diminuer leurs avantages, ont pris sur eux de nous attaquer et tenté spontanément de nous expulser.\n\nCette raison date déjà de longtemps.\n\nAu mois de novembre dernier, monseigneur Puginier disait au commandant Rivière tenir de source absolument certaine que le conseil de Hué était décidé à nous faire la guerre et qu'il s'y préparait; et aujourd'hui, messieurs, nous avons lieu de penser que ce dessein n'est pas abandonné, que ce qui se passe au Tonkin ne se fait très probablement pas par ses ordres, mais ne se fait certainement pas sans son aveu.\n\nEt s'il est démontré qu'il nous est impossible de triompher du désordre au Tonkin sans nous adresser à celui qui l'y fomente, que nous ne pouvons établir la paix dans le bassin du fleuve Rouge, sans faire sentir notre action ailleurs, messieurs, nous aurions à examiner également s'il convient, pour abréger les résistances, d'user du droit de blocus et de l'établir, dans les formes voulues et après les notifications nécessaires, soit aux embouchures du fleuve, soit sur quelques points des côtes de l'Annam.\n\nSeulement, nous n'en sommes pas là, nous avons le ferme espoir de n'en pas venir à ce point. Si nous sommes en guerre, c'est contre des bandes qu'aucun gouvernement, pas même celui d'Annam, n'ose avouer pour son armée.\n\nMessieurs, je comprends les préoccupations de M. de Broglie, je respecte ses alarmes. Je me permettrai toutefois de lui demander s'il juge qu'il soit, à cette heure, d'un bien grand intérêt public de savoir à qui, en réalité, nous faisons la guerre, si le moment est vraiment bien choisi pour subtiliser sur une formalité. (Rumeurs à droite. -- Approbation à gauche.)\n\nNous étions au Tonkin depuis longtemps déjà pour y faire valoir, aux termes des traités, nos droits positifs et rétablir la paix. Nous y sommes aujourd'hui pour une autre cause, pour venger une cruelle injure faite à nos armes, nous y sommes pour châtier des bandes qui, après avoir tué nos soldats, ont mutilé et outragé leurs cadavres. (Très bien ! très bien ! à gauche.)\n\nQu'importe aujourd'hui, en présence d'une pareille faute, que nous soyons en guerre avec des bandes d'aventuriers sans aveu et des gens perdus, ou avec un gouvernement qui soudoie ces bandes et s'en sert en se cachant? En vérité, je ne pense pas qu'à l'heure qu'il est, ce qui intéresse le Sénat, ce qui intéresse nos soldats, ce qui intéresse l'opinion publique, ce soit une pareille question. (Très bien ! et applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nM. le duc de Broglie. Messieurs, je ne puis accepter en aucune manière le reproche que m'a fait M. le ministre des affaires étrangères d'avoir fait dégénérer une question de fait en une question de doctrine et de controverse.\n\nMa question était bien celle-ci : Sommes-nous, en fait, à l'heure qu'il est, en guerre avec l'Annam? C'est, assurément, une question de fait; mais pour expliquer au Sénat quelle était l'importance de la question et ce qui m'avait déterminé à l'en saisir, j'ai dû expliquer en très peu de mots quelles étaient, au point de vue constitutionnel autant que diplomatique, les conséquences et les différences de l'état de paix et de l'état de guerre.\n\nLe fait est-il maintenant, après les réponses de M. le ministre, suffisamment éclairé? Oui, pour ce qui touche l'état présent. M. le ministre a longuement démontré que la guerre ne nous avait pas été déclarée par l'empire d'Annam. Qu'il me permette de lui dire que ces développements étaient superflus, car c'est une supposition qui n'avait été faite ni par moi ni par personne.\n\nEt ce qui était plus douteux, après les paroles qu'il avait prononcées à la Chambre des députés, c'était de savoir si nous ne l'avions pas déclarée nous-mêmes.\n\nIl avait dit que nous étions en guerre: or, une des deux parties en question n'ayant certainement pas pris l'initiative, il fallait bien croire, ou du moins on pouvait bien supposer que c'était l'autre. (Très bien ! et sourires à droite.)\n\nAprès les explications de M. le ministre, il est évident que ce n'était pas plus l'un que l'autre et qu'il n'y avait pas de guerre du tout. Le terme dont il s'était servi n'avait dans sa bouche aucune valeur, ni constitutionnelle, ni diplomatique. C'était une expression, comment dirai-je? un peu oratoire.\n\nEt alors, les puissances étrangères, les puissances voisines, dans les cas que j'ai indiqués, qu'en diront-elles et comment se comporteront-elles à notre égard?\n\nJe ne vois donc rien de clair ni rien de précis dans les explications qu'on vient de nous donner. Et cependant, s'il est un sujet où la clarté, la netteté des situations soit nécessaires, c'est dans une occasion où le moindre malentendu peut mettre en péril la paix générale et nos rapports avec nos voisins.\n\nVoyez, par exemple, ce qui vient de se passer à Madagascar. Je ne sais pas, et je crois que le Gouvernement ne sait pas encore bien à l'heure qu'il est, ce qui a donné lieu aux récits dont on a entretenu le Parlement d'Angleterre à propos des incidents survenus à Madagascar.\n\nL'éloquence est assurément une très belle chose; mais, en matière de diplomatie et de constitution, la propriété des mots et la précision du langage, même à la tribune, et surtout de la part d'un ministre, ne sont-elles pas préférables? (Très bien ! très bien à droite.)\n\nMais soit pour le présent, nous sommes satisfaits. Le sommes-nous également pour l'avenir? C'est sur quoi je conserve quelque doute.\n\nIl est très difficile, en effet, de mettre d'accord les différentes allégations que l'honorable ministre a successivement apportées à la tribune.\n\nEn commençant, il a déclaré qu'il n'était pas en mesure d'assurer que l'empereur d'Annam fût l'instigateur des bandes qui infestent le Tonkin et auxquelles notre corps expéditionnaire a affaire.\n\nIl nous a promis que nous ne nous mettrions pas en guerre avec l'Annam sans que les Chambres eussent été consultées, comme la constitution l'exige. Je prends acte, bien volontiers, de cette promesse, seulement il l'a accompagnée tout de suite d'une restriction qui pourrait bien en rendre, à l'occasion, l'exécution assez difficile.\n\nIl nous a dit, en effet, qu'à la rigueur il était possible qu'on f, avec le même pays et le même gouvernement, légitimement en guerre sur un point sans avoir le droit de l'être sur un autre.\n\nC'est là une subtilité diplomatique d'un genre absolument nouveau et que j'ai quelque peine à comprendre. (Très bien ! très bien ! à droite.)\n\nMessieurs, je ne sais pas ce que dirait le Parlement d'Angleterre à propos des incidents survenus à Madagascar. Mais la seule émotion causée chez nos voisins par ces récits vrais ou faux, ne nous indique-t-il pas combien vous êtes surveillés, avec quelle jalousie, et quelle inquiétude vous êtes suivis dans vos efforts pour étendre la puissance coloniale de la France?\n\nJe ne dis pas que vous deviez vous alarmer outre mesure de ces méfiances, ni vous relâcher pour les dissiper de vos prétentions légitimes, ni rien abandonner de ce qui touche à vos droits et à vos intérêts.\n\nMais vous devez tout faire en même temps pour qu'aucun malentendu ne puisse s'élever sur vos intentions, pour diminuer toutes les chances de mésintelligence et de conflit, pour ôter même à l'imprévu tout ce que la prudence peut lui enlever.\n\nLa netteté dans le langage, la clarté dans les intentions, c'est là ce qui peut faire traverser sans péril les situations les plus difficiles. C'est le vague, au contraire, qui est périlleux. (Très bien ! très bien à droite.) C'est des nuages que peuvent sortir les orages. (Nouvelles marques d'approbation sur les mêmes bancs.)\n\nCette clarté, cette netteté, je ne les trouve pas dans les paroles de M. le ministre; je désire qu'il y en ait davantage dans ses actes. (Très bien et applaudissements à droite.)\n\nM. le président. L'incident est clos.\n\n338\n\nC. O. 12783\n\nREC?\n\n\\REGO 26 JUL 33 /",

        "content_text": "W677\n\nJournal des Débats 14 October 1883\n\nC. O. 17855\n\nRECP\n\nREGE 20 OCT 83,\n\n407\n\nCOLONIES FRANÇAISES\n\nCOCHINCHINE ET TONKIN,\n\nLe ministre de la marine a reçu ce matin du général Bouët un rapport daté du 22 août, et donnant les détails les plus circonstanciés sur les attaques tant isolées que simultanées opérées par les trois colonnes françaises dans les journées des 15 et 16 août.\n\nIl confirme les succès remportés par les Français et énumère les nombreuses difficultés que leur suscitèrent les pluies et les inondations, tout en constatant que ces difficultés ont été plus préjudiciables encore à l'ennemi qu'à nos troupes.\n\nA l'attaque du 16, conclut en effet le général Bouët, l'ennemi, en retraite depuis le 15 au soir, perdait, par cette crue subite, une partie de ses blessés et probablement son matériel. Ses pertes s'élevaient, d'après les renseignements donnés, à 300 tués et un millier de blessés. De notre côté, nous avions eu des tués et blessés, dont le télégraphe a fait connaître les détails en son temps, 81 tant Français qu'Asiatiques.\n\nDès la rentrée des Français à Hanoi, les vivres ont été complétés, ainsi que les munitions, pour être prêts à tirer tout le parti possible des avantages obtenus, dès que les chemins seraient redevenus praticables.\n\nDans ces deux journées, les troupes, qui pour la plupart voyaient le feu pour la première fois, ont fait preuve d'une grande solidité. L'entrain ne s'est pas démenti, malgré un temps affreux et des difficultés de toute sorte. Les résultats de l'opération ont été, malgré tout, des plus importants. La flottille en a pris sa part et les marins ont montré dans ces deux journées leurs qualités habituelles.\n\nL'Indépendant de Saïgon, du 8 septembre, raconte en ces termes la prise d'Haï-dzuong:\n\nLe 14 août, M. Marquis, accompagné de M. le lieutenant-colonel Brionval, sous le commandement duquel étaient les troupes, partit d'Hafphong à bord de deux canonnières, emportant de l'artillerie légère. On savait déjà depuis plusieurs jours que les Annamites avaient entrepris l'évacuation d'Haï-dzuong et la construction d'une nouvelle citadelle sur l'autre rive du Thai-Binh près de Phu Binh.\n\nComme on s'y attendait, Haï-dzuong ne fut pas défendu : l'évacuation en était complète à ce point que la population avait déjà entrepris le pillage des magasins et spécialement des magasins à riz lorsque l'autorité française intervint, fit rechercher et rentrer à leur poste les fonctionnaires annamites et rétablir l'ordre.\n\nIl paraît d'ailleurs que l'inondation, qui a atteint cette année des proportions extraordinaires, a détruit dans les provinces de grandes quantités de récoltes et de grains emmagasinés déjà. Cette destruction, venant à la suite des dégâts de toute nature commis par les troupes annamites et du manque de tranquillité qui a empêché la culture de se faire comme d'habitude, produit un surenchérissement des denrées de première nécessité et spécialement du riz, qui prend presque les proportions d'une disette. Aussi les indigènes, laissés en liberté pour un moment, commencèrent-ils par s'emparer de ce qu'ils jugeaient le plus essentiel à leurs besoins, le riz.\n\nAprès avoir réorganisé à la hâte l'administration à Haï-dzuong, M. Marquis se porta sur la nouvelle citadelle. Il fallut passer le Thai-Binh dans des bacs, en présence d'un détachement de Pavillons-Noirs et de soldats réguliers annamites; il fallut même ouvrir le feu contre la nouvelle citadelle et s'en emparer par force. On n'y trouva d'ailleurs que des munitions et du riz destiné à l'alimentation de la garnison.\n\nOn reprit alors la marche par terre pour aller enlever le petit fort de Phu Binh où l'on trouva transporté le magasin à sapèques contenant 360,000 ligatures.\n\nL'un des plus utiles résultats de l'expédition a été la capture des archives de la province qui sont tombées entre nos mains, et tous ceux qui savent à quels embarras les Français ont dû faire face en Basse-Cochinchine par suite de la destruction des archives des provinces conquises en 1869 comprendront le prix que M. Marquis attachait à cette capture.\n\nIl fallait aussi s'emparer de Quan Yen; on réembarqua donc les troupes et on vint devant cette citadelle, sommer le gouvernement annamite d'en faire la remise aux mains des Français. Il hésita, mais, d'après divers pourparlers et vu l'attitude énergique des commandants du détachement, il consentit à prendre la ville et la citadelle, après avoir fait constater officiellement, par un recensement des objets trouvés dans la citadelle et dans les magasins, que tout était en bon ordre.\n\nLes nouvelles de Cochinchine annoncent qu'un télégramme de Singapour aurait fait savoir que les prisonniers détachés dans l'île de Bai-Cam pour travailler à la construction du phare de Poulo-Condor se sont révoltés. Ils ont massacré MM. Dulong et Cabaducteur, M. Bidault, il a été gravement blessé, mais a pu se sauver.\n\n60 prisonniers se sont évadés avec des armes et deux embarcations.",

        "content_text": "Journal des Debats\n\n40S\n\nCOLONIES FRANÇAISES\n\nCOCHINCHINE ET TUNKIN,\n\nla signature du traité de paix (25 août).\n\n« Nous pouvons donner quelques renseignements complémentaires sur les conditions dans lesquelles s'est accompli le grand acte de la signature des préliminaires de la paix, le 25 août dernier. Après le bombardement des forts de l'embouchure de la rivière à Thuapan et dans les environs, bombardement qui avait duré pendant les journées des 18 et 19, le 20 fut employé à enlever les forts du Nord et ceux de l'intérieur de la baie.\n\nDès le 20, au soir, les Annamites demandèrent la cessation des hostilités après avoir combattu avec un courage remarquable et digne d'un meilleur succès. La nuit du 20 au 21, les forts du Sud étaient évacués sous les yeux des envoyés de Hué qui constataient leur occupation, sans coup férir, par les Français. Nos pertes étaient à un matelot du Bazard, apparemment blessé, et à un officier, M. de Cairsoo, frappé d'une balle à la cuisse.\n\nLes Français, après le combat, durent donner la sépulture à 700 morts annamites. Ils évaluent à environ 400 ceux dont ils ont vu les tombes élevées dans les rizières; des cadavres nombreux sont, en outre, charriés par la mer et le Chateau-Renault en a trouvé encore à Tourne. Les Annamites avouent 1,300 morts. Il faut, en outre, compter 300 prisonniers.\n\nLors des négociations, les envoyés de Hué déclarèrent que deux faits surtout les avaient vivement frappés : l'ardeur mise par les Brailleurs annamites à combattre dans les rangs français et le débarquement des coolies venus de Saigon pour faire les charrois, fait dont ils ont conclu que toute la population était avec nous, ce qui leur a fait perdre tout espoir.\n\nLes clauses des préliminaires de paix acceptés de part et d'autre sont des plus nettes et des plus précises.\n\nLes Annamites voulaient bien nous abandonner en toute propriété le Tonkin, dans les mêmes conditions que la Basse-Cochinchine, et insistaient même pour le faire à la condition que nous renoncerions à toute prétention sur Raé et l'Annam.\n\nD'un commun accord, les deux représentants de la France refusèrent, et il fut stipulé qu'au Tonkin nous aurions la haute direction de l'administration, la suzeraineté de l'Annam étant nominalement maintenue et, pour nous servir de l'expression même du texte officiel, que la France ferait ce qu'elle voudrait au Tonkin.\n\nEn Annam, la situation est autre. Le représentant de la France y aura le contrôle notamment des finances, de la justice, des travaux publics; surveillera le recrutement et la composition de l'armée; en outre, dirigera directement les douanes établies par la France seule dans les ports ouverts et représentera seul l'Annam vis-à-vis des puissances étrangères.\n\nA ce sujet, un incident se produisit : les mandarins demandèrent qu'une mention spéciale fût faite relativement à la situation de l'Annam vis-à-vis de la Chine, et, sur leur demande expresse, il fut inséré une clause spécifiant que ni la France ni l'Annam ne reconnaissaient à la Chine aucun droit de suzeraineté ou de protection.\n\nLe courrier nous apporte des nouvelles du 20 août pour le Tonkin et du 4 septembre pour la Cochinchine.\n\nVoici d'abord des détails sur le combat des 13 et 16 août :\n\nLe 15 août, à trois heures du matin, trois colonnes de 600 hommes chacune partirent avec de l'artillerie en proportion. La colonne de droite était commandée par le lieutenant-colonel Bichot, celle de gauche par le lieutenant-colonel Revillon, et celle du centre par le lieutenant-colonel Coronnat, le tout sous les ordres du général Bouët.\n\nLe combat s'engagea dès que l'on fut en vue. C'était sur le champ de bataille du 1er mai. Les cinq villages fortifiés dont le feu avait été si funeste à la colonne du commandant Rivière furent pris maison par maison; une grande partie des Chinois qui les occupaient furent tués ou brûlés dans les cases incendiées par nos obus.\n\nLes abords du Phu-Hai ou notre possession, le fort lui-même fut moins de résistance; on y trouva plusieurs canons et des drapeaux.\n\nRepoussant plus loin sur la route de Son-Tay, on se trouva arrêté par un immense ouvrage en terre, flanqué de retranchements et de redoutes en grand nombre.\n\nLa France s'engage à défendre l'Annam contre toute résurrection de ces antiques prétentions de la Chine.\n\nLes mandarins ont demandé que, au cas où le vinh phuoc, le chef des Pavillons-Noirs, tomberait entre les mains des Français, on le fit exécuter, non au lieu de sa capture, mais à Hué même, sous les yeux des grands mandarins et qu'on fit en même temps exécuter un certain nombre de ses soldats. C'est, d'après eux, le seul moyen de prouver à l'Annam de renoncer à se servir de pareils auxiliaires.\n\nLe principe de l'ouverture des ports au commerce n'est pas étendu d'une manière générale à toute la côte annamite. Les ports à ouvrir seront nominativement désignés au traité. Jusqu'à présent, c'est le cap Padaran, nouvelle frontière de la Basse-Cochinchine et la frontière tonkinoise, il est seulement stipulé l'ouverture des ports de Quinhon, Tourane et Huon Dat; mais, comme ce point de détail est réservé pour le traité définitif, nous espérons qu'on n'omettra pas de stipuler aussi l'ouverture des ports de Camrong, Hon-Khu, Tai-Quit et Con-mong, ce dernier surtout qui rivalise avec Quinhon pour le trafic du Binh-dinh et l'exportation du sel.\n\nLe lendemain, 16 août, on fut forcé de battre en retraite, non devant les Chinois, mais devant l'eau qui envahissait nos positions de toutes parts. Les digues du fleuve étaient rompues et force nous fut de rentrer à Hanoi, sauf la colonne du lieutenant-colonel Bichot, qui se replia et se fortifia dans une grande pagode dite des Quatre-Colonnes, cette pagode se trouve sur le fleuve et commande la route de Son-Tay qui fait un coude à cet endroit et qu'on avait conquise sur l'ennemi la veille.\n\nNos soldats rentrèrent à Hanoi, clairons en tête, avec les pavillons pris à l'ennemi, et aux acclamations de la population annamite attentive.\n\nTous puissants, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nLes négociateurs français firent remarquer que le protectorat français devait porter sur tout l'ancien royaume du Tonkin et qu'il était essentiel de revenir à l'ancienne frontière naturelle. Cette clause fut acceptée après de longues hésitations.\n\nCe succès a été d'un grand effet; nos troupes ont été admirables, officiers comme soldats; ces derniers, presque tous des jeunes gens qui ont à peine quelques mois de service, ont essuyé le feu terrible des Chinois sans broncher.\n\nLes trois colonnes ont rivalisé de bravoure; celles de droite et de gauche marchèrent l'une sur la route de Son-Tay, l'autre sur la digue, tandis que celle du centre traversait les rizières avec de l'eau jusqu'au ventre; elle a fait 10 kilomètres et est tombée à l'improviste sur l'ennemi, qui ne la voyait pas et qui concentrait toutes ses forces contre les deux autres colonnes, ne s'attendant pas à voir les Français arriver à travers la plaine inondée et sous une pluie de balles.\n\nLes tirailleurs annamites se sont très vaillamment comportés; les Drapeaux-Jaunes de même, mais ils tiennent moins bien feu que les tirailleurs; l'artillerie a été très éprouvée, elle a fait beaucoup de mal à l'ennemi.\n\nLes pertes, quoique sérieuses, sont minimes en comparaison de celles de l'ennemi évaluées à 350 morts et à environ 900 blessés, surtout quand on songe qu'il a fallu prendre plusieurs villages fortifiés et des redoutes défendues par des forces considérables.\n\nUn différend surgit encore au sujet de la frontière qui doit séparer l'Annam du Tonkin. Autrefois, lorsque le Tonkin était constitué en un royaume séparé, il s'étendait jusqu'à la ligne frontière de Toung-Khêa, comprenant ainsi en dehors de la province de Nghe-An, une partie de celle de Quan-Dinh. Après le renversement des Chua et l'annexion du Tonkin à l'empire annamite, quoique la frontière naturelle formée par les montagnes de Voung-Khoua eût été renforcée par une muraille et des fortifications très puissantes, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir de détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nTu-Duc, avant sa mort, avait désigné pour son successeur Duc-Duc, qui fut aussitôt reconnu roi, mais ne régna que pendant deux jours. En effet, à l'expiration de ce délai, la ba-hoang-tai, reine-mère du feu roi Tu-Duc, exposa au trien-dinh (Conseil des rites) et surtout le besoin de créer de bonnes relations avec la France exigèrent la déposition de Duc-Duc et le choix comme souverain, de Tan-Lan, fils adoptif de la reine mère et par suite frère adoptif de Tu-Duc.\n\nLes membres du trien-dinh acceptèrent ce projet, déclarèrent Duc-Duc déchu et Tan-Lan prit pour chiffre de règne la dénomination de Hiep-Hoa (concorde et paix). Ce prince est âgé de trente-sept ans et a toujours montré une certaine tendance vers le parti français. Tout fait donc présumer qu'il sera facile de s'entendre avec lui.\n\nUn mot enfin à propos du sort réservé probablement à la province du Binh-Thuan, qui est annexée à la Basse-Cochinchine. Il est bien certain que son administration devra être modifiée sur celle de notre colonie, mais cette assimilation ne se fera que progressivement et non par une suppression brusque des institutions établies dans cette province. C'est, dit-on, M. l'administrateur actuel de l'arrondissement de Baria, qui sera chargé de cette mission.\n\nUne autre lettre expédiée d'Haiphong le 31 août porte ce qui suit:\n\n« Aucun mouvement nouveau n'a eu lieu depuis l'importante affaire des 15 et 18 août derniers, dirigée par le général Bouët; les renseignements que le courrier de Saigon a apportés changent sensiblement le caractère que les premières versions vagues et contradictoires venues de Hong Kong avaient donné à cette affaire; ce n'a pas été, cela est réel, un succès dans l'acception ordinaire du mot, puisque le but poursuivi n'a été atteint qu'en partie, et que le gros des troupes du général Bouët a dû rentrer à Hanoi; mais ça n'a pas été non plus un échec, encore bien moins une défaite, comme le feraient croire les récits de certains journaux anglais, puisque les Pavillons-Noirs ont subi des pertes bien supérieures aux nôtres, qu'ils ont dû évacuer plusieurs de leurs positions, et que la pagode des Quatre-Colonnes, point stratégique très important, est restée entre vos mains. La retraite des diverses colonnes du général Bouët s'est, du reste, effectuée dans l'ordre le plus parfait, puisqu'elles ont toutes ramené leurs blessés et leurs morts.\n\nOn télégraphie de Toulon, le 12 octobre : le transport la Corrèze est parti aujourd'hui pour le Tonkin, ayant à bord 940 passagers, hommes d'équipage et au matériel de guerre considérable.\n\nInclosure\n\nin Lad hymn 20707\n\nexx.\n\nExtract\n\nJournal foret",

        "content_text": "1803\n\nLord Lyons No. 771 Inel.\n\nParis No. 10.\n\nTonquin\n\nColonial Office\n\n464\n\n\"Journal des Débats, 10 Novembre 1888. CC.\n\nVoici l'exposé des motifs qui précède le projet de loi déposé hier par M. le vice-amiral Peyron, ministre de la marine et des colonies, portant ouverture d'un crédit de 9 millions pour le service du Tonkin :\n\nA cet effectif de troupes il convient d'ajouter un bataillon spécial de marins qui vient d'être expédié et qui se compose de 600 hommes (1), ce qui donne, pour les troupes opérant à terre, le total précité de 8,650 hommes.\n\nA la date du 26 avril 1883, le gouvernement déposait sur le bureau de la Chambre des Députés un projet de loi portant ouverture d'un crédit de 5,300,000 fr. qui devait permettre d'une part, de renforcer notre division navale des mers de Chine et Indo-Chine; d'autre part, d'entretenir au Tonkin 3,000 hommes de troupes d'infanterie de marine et 1,000 tirailleurs annamites. Ce crédit, voté par les deux Chambres, a fait l'objet d'une loi du 28 mai dernier.\n\nNous ne reproduirons pas ici les raisons qui ont motivé notre intervention au Tonkin; elles ont reçu tous les développements qu'elles comportaient dans l'exposé des motifs du projet du gouvernement, dans les rapports de M. Blanc subé et de M. de Saint-Vallier, dans les discours prononcés par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères à la Chambre des Députés et au Sénat.\n\nLe but que nous nous proposions est résumé dans cet extrait des instructions remises au commissaire général de la république :\n\nLa seule partie du Tonkin que nous nous proposons d'occuper est le delta du Song-Koi; nous n'entendons pas dépasser Bac-Ninh ni Hung-hoa sur la rivière Claire, sauf pourtant, sur la côte, les points dont l'occupation paraîtra nécessaire.\n\nNous ne nous sommes pas écartés de ce programme; nous n'avons pas changé le caractère de notre expédition.\n\nMais la résistance et les difficultés que nous avons rencontrées et qui ont dépassé les premières prévisions nous ont obligés à développer nos moyens d'action. Pour mettre le delta du fleuve Rouge complètement à l'abri des déprédations des Pavillons-Noirs, l'effectif du premier corps expéditionnaire n'était pas suffisant. De remarquables faits d'armes qui font le plus grand honneur aux troupes de la marine, à nos marins et aux tirailleurs annamites nous ont cependant rendus maîtres de solides positions qui peuvent être considérées comme inexpugnables, et la résistance est actuellement concentrée dans les deux places de Son-Tai et de Bac-Ninh, qui couvrent le nord du delta.\n\nLa prise des forts de la rivière de Hué, accomplie si brillamment sous la direction du contre-amiral Courbet, a mis dans nos mains la capitale de l'Annam; cette entreprise hardie, dans laquelle nos marins, nos soldats et nos auxiliaires indigènes ont rivalisé d'ardeur et de sang-froid, a déjà porté ses fruits. Non seulement le successeur de Tu-Duc a cessé d'être hostile à notre entreprise, mais il a pris des mesures qui rendront la pacification du Tonkin plus prompte et plus efficace.\n\nLes Pavillons-Noirs, délaissés par leurs protecteurs, sont manifestement en retraite; il n'est pas probable qu'ils résistent longtemps aux efforts de nos troupes au jour prochain où notre corps expéditionnaire aura reçu les renforts que nous lui avons successivement envoyés et dont la plus grande partie arrivera à Hanoi dans les premiers jours de novembre.\n\nCes renforts, qui s'élèvent au chiffre d'environ 4,600 hommes, n'ont pas pu être exclusivement fournis par les corps organisés de la marine, dont les effectifs ne sont calculés qu'en prévision des besoins normaux des colonies. Il a été nécessaire de compléter les contingents maritimes au moyen de 1,830 hommes de l'armée d'Afrique pris dans le corps des tirailleurs algériens et dans la légion étrangère. L'ensemble des forces dont nous disposerons au Tonkin au commencement de novembre sera de 8,650 hommes se répartissant comme suit :\n\n  \n    Troupes métropolitaines\n    Tonkin...\n    Hué......\n  \n  \n    y compris celles d'Afrique\n    6,100\n    100\n  \n  \n    Troupes Indigènes\n    1,250\n    200\n  \n  \n    Total\n    7,350\n    700\n  \n  \n    Totaux\n    6,600\n    1,450\n    8,080\n  \n\nD'un autre côté, nos forces navales, tant au Tonkin que dans les mers de Chine, comprennent un effectif de 31 bâtiments de tous rangs, montés par 4,500 hommes d'équipage.\n\nBien que le crédit de 3,300,000 fr. alloué par la loi du 28 mai ne soit pas épuisé, nous estimons que l'entretien des forces dont nous venons de donner le détail nécessitera, pour l'exercice 1883, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), un supplément de crédit de 9 millions se subdivisant comme suit :\n\n  \n    4° Service marine (2):\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Dépôt des cartes et plans..\n    6,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Equipages..\n    574,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Troupes (y compris le surcroît de dépense qui résultera de l'envoi et de l'entretien, au Tonkin, des troupes de l'armée de terre).\n    1,600,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Vivres des traversées...\n    400,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Hôpitaux (dépenses de traitement à bord des bâtiments)..\n    200,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Frais de voyage et transit par l'isthme de Suez.\n    770,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Dépenses diverses..\n    120,000\n    3,670,000\n  \n  \n    2° Service colonial:\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Services civils (commissaire général et son état-major).\n    50,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Services militaires....\n    972,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Frais de voyage, etc.\n    100,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Hôpitaux et vivres.....\n    1,877,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Matériel civil et militaire..\n    1,375,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Dépenses imprévues..\n    956,000\n    5,330,000\n  \n  \n    Total........\n    \n    9,000,000\n  \n\nNous vous demandons, en conséquence, l'ouverture, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), d'un crédit supplémentaire de 9 millions.\n\nTel est l'objet du projet de loi que nous avons l'honneur de soumettre à vos délibérations et pour lequel nous réclamons l'urgence !\n\nLe Président de la république décrète,\n\nLe projet de loi dont la teneur suit sera présenté à la Chambre des Députés par le ministre des affaires étrangères, par le ministre de la marine et des colonies et par le ministre des finances, qui sont chargés d'en exposer les motifs et d'en soutenir la discussion :\n\nPROJET DE LOI\n\nArticle unique. Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de neuf millions (9,000,000 fr.) qui sera classé à la 2e section (Service colonial), chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin).\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(1) Ces 600 hommes sont partis de Toulon le 10 octobre dernier.\n\n(2) Bien que les délivrances de matériel effectuées par les services des constructions navales et de l'artillerie pour l'expédition du Tonkin représentent une valeur de 3 millions environ, il n'est pas demandé de crédits supplémentaires pour ces services dans le présent projet de loi, attendu que l'exécution des marchés de remplacement ne pourra pas avoir lieu assez tôt pour que la dépense puisse être imputée à l'exercice 1883. Ce crédit devra donc être demandé au titre de l'exercice 1884.\n\n197\n\nRECP\n\n(REG: 22 NOV 83)\n\nPage 197",

La compagnie sera tenue d'installer les bouées et balises que le gouvernement français jugerait nécessaires en vue de la protection des câbles.\n\nElle sera soumise à toutes les obligations qui pourront être établies, soit par une convention internationale, soit par un règlement intérieur, dans l'intérêt de la conservation des câbles. Dans tous les cas, le Gouvernement ne sera soumis à aucune responsabilité à raison des difficultés qui pourraient surgir entre la compagnie et les concessionnaires d'autres lignes télégraphiques sous-marines, ou, en général, avec qui que ce soit ou pour quelque cause que ce soit.\n\nArt. 5. L'établissement de ce câble ne comportera aucun privilège ou monopole en faveur de la compagnie ; il aura lieu sous réserve de tous droits.\n\nIl n'est rien stipulé en ce qui concerne notamment les droits de douane, pour lesquels la compagnie concessionnaire devra s'adresser aux administrations compétentes, dont les droits sont expressément réservés.\n\nArt. 6. Le câble devra être établi et en état de fonctionner dans le délai de deux ans à partir de la date où la présente convention sera rendue exécutoire.\n\nDans le cas contraire, et sauf le cas de force majeure, dûment constaté, ou d'accident pendant la pose nécessitant le relèvement ou la réparation du câble, la compagnie serait passible d'une amende de 1,000 francs par jour de retard, et si le retard se prolongeait au delà d'un mois, la présente convention pourrait être déclarée nulle et non avenue sans qu'il soit besoin d'aucune mise en demeure préalable, et le cautionnement spécifié à l'article 18 serait acquis au Trésor.\n\nLe câble sera mis à la disposition de l'administration française dès qu'il aura été posé et reconnu propre à être utilisé à la transmission de la correspondance en transit de câble à câble, à charge toutefois par la compagnie de faire, pour le compte de l'administration française, le service de la correspondance de la Cochinchine, de l'Annam et du Tonkin qui pourrait être transmise par le câble.\n\nEn cas d'interruption du câble direct entre le cap Saint-Jacques et Haiphong, la transmission de cette même correspondance, c'est-à-dire de celle de provenance et destination autre que celle de la Cochinchine, de l'Annam ou du Tonkin, qui transiterait simplement de câble à câble à Haiphong, pourra être faite par les employés de la compagnie.\n\nArt. 7. Le ministre de la marine et des colonies fixera les taxes du câble entre le cap Saint-Jacques, l'Annam et Haiphong pour la correspondance à destination ou en provenance de l'Annam et du Tonkin. Le produit de ces taxes appartiendra en totalité à l'administration française, la compagnie n'ayant droit à aucune part de cette taxe.\n\nL'administration française sera créditée dans les comptes mensuels du montant de cette recette.\n\nArt. 8. Les dépêches reçues à la station du cap Saint-Jacques à destination de l'Annam et du Tonkin et celles reçues à la station de Haiphong à destination de l'Annam, du cap Saint-Jacques et au delà, seront toujours dirigées par le câble direct qui fait l'objet de la présente convention. Elles ne pourront être dirigées par la voie de Hongkong qu'en cas d'interruption ou de dérangement des communications par le câble direct.\n\nDans le cas d'indication expresse de l'expéditeur, les dépêches seront taxées pour le parcours indiqué suivant le tarif de la compagnie.\n\nArt. 9.- Le service télégraphique par le câble sera fait par l'administration française à ses frais.\n\nLe service dans les stations du cap Saint-Jacques et de Haiphong sera permanent sauf interruption en dehors du cas de rupture du câble ou de dérangement dans les communications.\n\nLe bureau de Thuan-An sera à service limité.\n\nDans l'intervalle des heures de service, le câble sera mis en circuit pour la transmission directe entre le cap Saint-Jacques et Haiphong.\n\nLes télégrammes en transit de câble à câble qui seront remis aux bureaux du cap Saint-Jacques et de Haiphong par la compagnie devront être transmis avec toute la rapidité désirable.\n\nArt. 10. Le gouvernement français aura le droit, à toute époque, en prévenant six mois d'avance, de transférer à la compagnie le service de transmission par le câble.\n\nArt. 11. — Les dépêches officielles du gouvernement français jouiront d'une réduction de moitié sur toutes les lignes de la compagnie Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company Limited.\n\nArt. 12. On appliquera pour le service de la correspondance avec l'Annam et le Tonkin les règles de la convention télégraphique de Saint-Pétersbourg et de règlement de Londres, ou de tous actes internationaux par lesquels ils seront ultérieurement remplacés, et notamment, en ce qui concerne l'application de toute modification du tarif, la règle fixée par l'article 44, paragraphe 3 du règlement.\n\nLa compagnie s'engage à ne pas surélever les taxes une fois établies pour ce service sur les lignes sans une autorisation expresse du ministre de la marine et les modifications de ces taxes devront être approuvées par l'administration française et ne pourront être faites que par fraction compatible avec le système monétaire français et pouvant être représentée par des monnaies usuelles.\n\nCes tarifs seront établis sur des bases uniformes, tout tarif de faveur étant rigoureusement interdit.\n\nDe toute manière la taxe des dépêches sur les lignes de la compagnie pour la correspondance échangée entre la France et la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, ne pourra être supérieure au prix perçu pour les correspondances de tout autre Etat européen.\n\nSur la demande du ministre de la marine et des colonies, il sera accordé au bénéfice du public français pour la correspondance avec la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, toutes réductions que la compagnie ferait pour d'autres pays pour un même parcours.\n\nArt. 13. En considération de la fourniture du câble, des instruments de transmission, le ministre de la marine et des colonies s'engage à lui payer pendant vingt ans, à partir de l'ouverture du service par le câble, une somme totale annuelle de deux cent soixante mille francs pour la ligne principale et quinze mille francs, savoir : deux cent cinquante mille francs pour l'atterrissement principal et cinq mille francs pour l'atterrissement intermédiaire de Thuan-An, le tout payable par quartier à l'expiration de chaque trimestre.\n\nPour toute interruption des communications par le câble, il sera fait réduction d'une part proportionnelle à la durée de l'interruption.\n\nDans le cas où l'administration française serait dans l'impossibilité de faire usage du câble, la subvention continuera à lui être payée pendant un délai maximum de trois mois.\n\nLa subvention continuera également à être acquise à la compagnie si le fait de l'interruption résulte d'une réquisition du gouvernement français.\n\nArt. 14. Les comptes entre l'administration française et la compagnie seront établis par mois et le règlement en aura lieu à la fin de chaque trimestre.\n\nLe solde de compte résultant de la présente convention, ainsi que de tout autre compte afférent à la correspondance télégraphique échangée par l'intermédiaire de la compagnie, sera payable à Paris et en monnaie française.\n\nDans le cas où des retenues sur la subvention devraient être faites sur un trimestre déjà payé, elles seraient effectuées sur la part de la subvention afférente au trimestre suivant.\n\nArt. 15. On appliquera au service de la correspondance avec l'Annam et le Tonkin les règles de la convention télégraphique de Saint-Pétersbourg et de règlement de Londres, ou de tous actes internationaux par lesquels ils seront ultérieurement remplacés...\n\nPage 439\n\nArt. 16. Le gouvernement français ne sera soumis à aucune responsabilité, en raison des difficultés provoquées dans le fonctionnement et l'entretien du câble, par quelque cause que ce soit.\n\nArt. 17. Dans le cas où, en exécution du droit qu'il s'est réservé par l'article 10, le gouvernement français viendrait à transférer à la compagnie le service de transmission par le câble, l'article 9 ci-dessus relatif à l'exploitation de ce service par l'Etat serait annulé et remplacé par les dispositions suivantes :\n\n1o Le service des stations sera fait par la compagnie concessionnaire, et à ses frais. La station du cap Saint-Jacques sera établie dans les mêmes conditions que la station actuelle de la compagnie Eastern Extension.\n\nA Haiphong, la maison occupée par la station actuelle de la compagnie sera mise à la disposition de la compagnie concessionnaire.\n\nAu fort de Thuan-An, le local occupé par le service télégraphique restera à l'usage de la compagnie.\n\nLes agents employés par la compagnie dans les stations devront être agréés par le gouvernement français, et, pour la moitié au moins, être de nationalité française, à moins d'empêchements constatés.\n\nD'autre part, la taxe pour la correspondance à destination et à provenance autres que la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, c'est-à-dire pour celle qui transiterait simplement de câble à câble à Haiphong, sera fixée par le tarif de la compagnie et appartiendra en totalité à la compagnie, sauf une taxe de transit de sept centimes et demi par mot qui appartiendra au gouvernement français.\n\n2o Les frais quelconques d'exploitation seront à la charge de la compagnie, ainsi que l'entretien des raccordements entre les points d'atterrissement mentionnés à l'article 2 et les bureaux télégraphiques mentionnés à l'article 9.\n\n3. Le gouvernement français se réserve le droit d'organiser sur le service de la ligne concédée tout contrôle qu'il jugera convenable.\n\nLes frais de ce contrôle, de même que ceux de la surveillance que l'administration française ferait exercer pour la fabrication et la pose du câble, ainsi que sur les réparations auxquelles le câble donnerait lieu, seront à la charge de la compagnie ; toutefois, le contrôle n'entraînera pas, si le gouvernement français juge à propos de l'appliquer, une charge pour la compagnie supérieure à 7,000 fr.\n\nArt. 18. La compagnie versera dans le délai d'un mois, sous peine de nullité de la présente concession, un cautionnement de 250 000 francs en numéraire ou en rentes sur l'Etat, dont elle recevra les arrérages, qui resteront à la charge des dépôts et consignations pendant toute la durée de la concession, à titre de fonds de garantie applicable tant au fonctionnement du câble qu'à son entretien.\n\nCe cautionnement sera remboursé en même temps que sera payée la dernière annuité.\n\nArt. 19. - En cas d'interruption des communications, les réparations devront être effectuées dans le plus bref délai ; si elles ne l'avaient pas été dans un délai de six mois, le gouvernement français aurait (sauf pour l'Etat la faculté de prononcer la déchéance comme il est dit à l'article 22) le droit de faire procéder lui-même aux réparations, au compte du fonds de garantie établi en vertu de l'article 18 ci-dessus.\n\nArt. 20.

Félix Faure, sous-secrétaire d'Etat, agissant au nom du ministre de la marine et des colonies.\n\nD'une part;\n\nEt M. Jules Despecher, demeurant à Paris, rue Caumarin, n° 28, représentant de la compagnie The Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company Limited de Londres, Old Broad Street n° 66, agissant au nom et pour compte de ladite compagnie, en vertu d'une procuration passée devant Mr Eustache Venn, notaire public à Londres, le vingt et un novembre mil huit cent quatre-vingt-trois,\n\nD'autre part;\n\nIl a été convenu et arrêté ce qui suit :\n\nArt. 1. La compagnie Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph est autorisée par la présente à atterrir sur la côte du Tonkin un câble télégraphique sous-marin qui sera relié à Hongkong soit directement, soit en touchant à un point quelconque de l'île d'Hainan.\n\nLe point d'atterrissement sera déterminé d'accord avec les ingénieurs du service télégraphique français dans le voisinage du phare de Doson, d'où il sera prolongé par une ligne aérienne ou souterraine jusqu'à Haiphong.\n\nCette autorisation ne comporte aucun privilège ni monopole envers la compagnie. Elle sera caduque de plein droit si le câble n'avait pas été établi dans le délai d'un an, ou si, après avoir été établi, il était interrompu pendant une période de plus d'un an, sauf le cas de force majeure.\n\nArt. 2. On appliquera, pour le service de la correspondance par le câble à destination et en provenance du Tonkin, de l'Annam et de la Cochinchine, le tarif des taxes de la compagnie, établi en conformité avec les conventions internationales télégraphiques.\n\nLa compagnie s'engage à ne pas surélever les taxes une fois établies pour ce service sans une autorisation expresse du ministre de la marine. Toute modification de ces taxes devra être approuvée par l'administration française et ne pourra être faite que par fraction compatible avec le système monétaire français et pouvant être représentée par des monnaies ayant cours. Ces tarifs seront établis sur des bases uniformes, tout tarif de faveur étant rigoureusement interdit.\n\nLa taxe terminale qui sera fixée pour le Tonkin par l'administration française sera appliquée, à Haiphong, à la correspondance qui y sera expédiée par le câble.\n\nLa taxe de transit de sept centimes et demi par mot sera perçue à Haïphong par l'administration française, sur la correspondance de provenance et à destination autres que le Tonkin, l'Annam et la Cochinchine, qui transitera simplement de câble à câble.\n\nArt. 3. Le câble sera neuf et construit conformément aux règles de l'art et à la spécification ci-après:\n\nAme du câble.\n\nA) Le conducteur consistera en une corde torse de sept fils de cuivre du poids total de quarante-huit kilogrammes (48 kil) par mille marin de 1,852 mètres, dont la résistance électrique à la température de 24 degrés centigrades ne devra pas dépasser 12 unités BA (ohms).\n\nB) L'enveloppe isolante se composera de trois couches de gutta-percha, du système de capacité inductive perfectionné de Willoughby-Smith, alternant avec autant de couches de composition résineuse (Chatterton Compound).\n\nElle aura un poids minimum de 63 kilogrammes par mille marin. Dans les essais qui pourront être faits, quatorze jours au moins après la fabrication et après vingt-quatre heures d'immersion dans de l'eau à 24 degrés centigrades, le diélectrique devra avoir un isolement minimum de 150 millions d'unités BA (ohms) par mille marin, après une minute d'électrisation.\n\nL'isolement sera le même après son embarquement; dans ce cas, on appliquera, pour les corrections de température, les tables du formulaire électrique de MM. Clarke et Sabine.\n\nLa condition électrique du câble immergé devra être telle que, eu égard aux conditions précédentes, et tenant compte de la température moyenne actuelle de l'eau, telle qu'elle résulte de la résistance du conducteur, si l'on ne donne pas lieu de supposer qu'il existe des défauts dans l'isolant ou dans le conducteur.\n\nLa capacité électro-statique par mille marin ne dépassera pas 36 centièmes de microfarad.\n\nLes poids de cuivre et de gutta-percha seront exigibles à 5 p. 100 près.\n\nC) L'âme du câble de côte (type A) sera protégée contre les tarets par un revêtement métallique à spires, du système breveté de Chatterton.\n\nD) L'âme sera revêtue d'une bonne enveloppe de jute enduite de cachou, appliquée humide et d'une épaisseur suffisante pour la protéger contre l'armature métallique.\n\nArmature.\n\nL'armature sera composée de fils métalliques jointifs de nature, diamètre et nombre variables, conformément aux indications suivantes :\n\nE) Type A. Câble de côte n° 1. Longueur de neuf milles marins, dix fils de fer BB galvanisés (n° 0. 0. B. W. G.) d'un diamètre de plus de neuf millimètres (9mm20).\n\nF) Type B. Câble de côte n° 2. Longueur vingt-six milles marins. Dix fils de fer BB galvanisés (n° 2. B. W. G.) d'un diamètre de plus de 7 millimètres (7mm10).\n\nG) Type B. Câble intermédiaire. Longueur approchée de 480 milles marins. Dix fils de fer galvanisés (n° 6. B. W. G.), d'un diamètre de plus de cinq millimètres (5mm10).\n\nH) Type D. Câble principal. Longueur approximative de 295 milles marins. Quinze fils d'acier (fer homogène) galvanisés (n° 13. B. W. G.) d'un diamètre de deux millimètres et demi à 5 p. 100 près (2mm40) pouvant supporter sans se rompre un poids correspondant à une tension de 30 kilogrammes par millimètre carré, avec un allongement de 3 p. 100 au maximum.\n\nPage 489\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\n[1883] 28 Décembre 6629\n\nCharente-Inférieure à s'imposer extraordinairement pour les travaux des chemins vicinaux.\n\nLOI tendant à autoriser le département de l'Ain à s'imposer extraordinairement pour diverses dépenses d'intérêt départemental.\n\nLe Sénat et la Chambre des députés ont adopté,\n\nLe Président de la République promulgue la loi dont la teneur suit :\n\nArticle unique.

        "content_text": "2\n\nEXPOSÉ DES MOTIFS.\n\nSTATEMENT OF THE MOTIVES.\n\nMessieurs,\n\nLe Gouvernement a eu l'honneur de vous soumettre, le 17 juillet dernier, un projet de loi portant approbation d'une convention relative à l'établissement d'un câble télégraphique sous-marin entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin. À la suite de la discussion dont il a été l'objet à la Chambre des députés, dans sa séance du 2 août dernier, ce projet n'a pas été accepté.\n\nLes considérations d'ordre général invoquées alors n'ont rien perdu de leur valeur, et la nécessité de relier le Tonkin à notre colonie de la Cochinchine et, par suite, à la Métropole, s'impose tous les jours davantage, en raison des événements dont ces contrées sont le théâtre.\n\nLe Gouvernement s'est préoccupé, par suite, de préparer les bases d'une nouvelle convention, tenant compte des vues que vous avez exprimées et qui soient de nature à satisfaire aux intérêts en cause. Aux termes de cet acte, l'exploitation du service qui, d'après le précédent projet, devait être confiée à des mains étrangères, sera faite par des agents français. Le gouvernement n'a pu, malheureusement, aller plus loin dans cette voie et assumer pour lui-même la construction et l'entretien du câble. Tout eût été, en effet, à créer pour arriver à ce résultat, au prix de sacrifices considérables. D'un autre côté, à défaut d'une Compagnie française constituée et outillée en vue de la fabrication, de l'entretien ou de la manipulation d'un câble télégraphique sous-marin, il lui a été nécessaire de recourir cette fois encore à des Compagnies étrangères. Comme au mois de juillet dernier, les conditions proposées par \"l'Eastern Extension Company\" ont paru offrir les garanties les plus sérieuses. Il ne faut pas oublier que cette Compagnie possède la plus grande partie du réseau télégraphique de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nGENTLEMEN,\n\nThe Government had the honour, on the 17th July last, to submit to you a Bill approving a Convention relative to the establishment of a Submarine Telegraph Cable between Cochin China and Tonquin. After the discussion of which it was the subject in the Chamber of Deputies at its sitting of the 2nd August last, this Bill was not approved.\n\nThe considerations of the general interest then pleaded have lost nothing of their force, and the necessity of connecting Tonquin with our Colony of Cochin China, and consequently with the Metropolis, is every day becoming clearer and clearer, by reason of the occurrences of which these countries are the scene.\n\nThe Government has, consequently, devoted itself to preparing the bases of a new Convention, taking into account the views which you expressed and which shall be of a character to satisfy the interests involved. Agreeably to the terms of this Act, the working of the service, which, according to the previous Bill, would have been entrusted to the hands of foreigners, will now be performed by French representatives. Unfortunately, the Government has not been able to go further in this direction, and to take upon itself the construction and maintenance of the Cable. Everything, in fact, would have had to be created at the cost of considerable sacrifices to attain this result. On the other hand, in default of a French Company formed and provided with the necessary appliances for the manufacture, maintenance or working of a Submarine Telegraph Cable, it has been requisite for it to have recourse this time also to Foreign Companies. As in July last, the terms proposed by \"The Eastern Extension Company\" appeared to offer the best guarantees. It must not be forgotten that this Company possesses the greater part of the telegraphic network of the Far East.\n\n601",

C'est donc avec elle qu'a été conclu le traité à intervenir.\n\nAux termes de cet acte, \"l'Eastern Extension\" dont le matériel est rendu sur place et prêt à être posé, s'engage à immerger le câble dans un délai de 60 jours et à l'entretenir pendant une période de vingt années, moyennant le paiement d'une subvention annuelle de 250,000 francs, à laquelle il y aurait à ajouter une seconde subvention de 15,000 francs dans le cas où la ligne de Thuan-An serait construite.\n\nLe Gouvernement français demeurerait chargé de l'exploitation du réseau, pour laquelle une dépense de 50,000 francs serait à prévoir.\n\nEn déduisant de l'ensemble des dépenses précitées la somme de 85,000 francs qui représente le chiffre des recettes (produit intégral de l'expédition des télégrammes privés entre Saigon et Hai-Phong, paiement d'une taxe de transit de 7 centimes 1/2 par mot pour les dépêches transitant d'un câble à un autre sans emprunter les lignes du Tonkin et de l'Annam et déduction de moitié pour les dépêches officielles du Gouvernement français sur toutes les lignes de l'Eastern Extension, y compris la ligne d'Australie), on arrive à un total maximum de dépenses de 230,000 francs, dont une moitié seulement, 115,000 francs, est imputable au budget de l'Etat. La colonie de la Cochinchine a consenti, en effet, à payer la seconde moitié, se répartissant comme suit: 57,500 francs au compte de son budget local et 57,500 francs à titre d'avance au Tonkin, qui remboursera ultérieurement sur son budget.\n\nTelles sont les clauses de la convention ci-après signée avec l'Eastern Extension Company et qui ne deviendra définitive qu'après l'approbation des Chambres.\n\n3\n\nforgotten that this Company, which possess the greater part of the Telegraph System of the Far East, and maintain two ships in those seas charged with securing, in case of need, the repairs of the Cables, was, from this fact, in a position to offer the most favourable terms, and the best guarantees for such maintenance. It is, therefore, with that Company that the Agreement, which follows, has been entered into.\n\nBy the terms of this Deed, The Eastern Extension Company, whose Cable has been despatched to the spot and is ready to be laid, undertake to lay the Cable within the period of 60 days, and to maintain it for a term of 20 years, in consideration of the payment of an annual subsidy of 250,000 francs, to which, in the event of the Thuan-An Line being constructed, a second subsidy of 15,000 francs would have to be added.\n\nThe French Government would stand charged with the working of the system-involving an outlay of 50,000 francs, which would have to be provided for.\n\nDeducting from the total of the above-mentioned expenses the sum of 85,000 francs representing the amount of the receipts (total product of the transmission of private telegrams between Saigon and Haï-Phong-- payment of a transit rate of 7 centimes and 1/2 per word for despatches transiting from one cable to another without using the Tonquin and Annam Lines-and deducting half for the official despatches of the French Government over all the Lines of The Eastern Extension Company, including the Australian Line), we arrive at a total maximum of expenses of 230,000 francs, of which one-half only, 115,000, is chargeable to the Budget of the Government. The Colony of Cochin China has consented in fact to pay the other half, redistributing it as follows: 57,500 francs to the charge of its local Budget and 57,500 francs as an advance to Tonquin, which will ultimately refund it from its Budget.\n\nSuch are the clauses of the Convention hereinafter signed with The Eastern Extension Company, and which will only become definitive after being approved by the Chambers.\n\n602",

No interruption of service shall be allowed save in the event of the cable breaking, or of interruption of the communications, duly substantiated, except the requisition of the French Government, in conformity with Article 8 of the St. Petersburg Convention.\n\n3rd. The French Government reserves to itself the right of exercising over the service of the line conceded (by these presents) such control as it may deem expedient. The expenses of this control as well as those of the supervision which the French Administration may exercise over the manufacture and laying of the cable, as well as over the repairs which the cable might require, shall be borne by the Company. The cost, however, of such control, should the French Government deem fit to exercise it, shall not involve an expense to the Company exceeding 7,000 francs.\n\nThe Company agree, in advance, to accept every measure as regards the keeping of accounts, which the French Government may judge necessary as a guarantee for the carrying out of the present Convention, particularly the obligation to keep books, minutes, and other official documents, which shall be constantly at the disposal of the officials of the French Administration, either on the spot, or by way of copies.\n\n612",

On the same subject, I have now the honour to transmit the enclosed letter containing many interesting details, from the Special Correspondent in Tonquin of the leading journal of Hong Kong.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble Servant.\n\nH.Bowen\n\nEnclosure\n\nTHE WAR IN TONQUIN.\n\nTHE HUNG-HOA FIASCO. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]\n\nHUNG-HOA, 17th April, 1884.\n\nThere were some awkward quarters of an hour in the month of December that decided the issue of the present French campaign in Tonquin. If, when between three and four o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th December, the Chinese commenced their grand turning movement from the East gate of the outer line of fortifications at Sontay, they had displayed a little more determination, Bacninh would probably not now be in French hands and Hung-Hoa almost certainly would not.\n\nThe flank movement was almost successful. But just when the Frenchmen seemed hemmed in between the lines of Phuc-sa and the river, the Chinamen faltered and broke. They were Yunnan mountaineers and fought well, but they wanted the grit of the Black Flags, and the Black Flags were all in the forts and earthworks of Phuc-sa.\n\nAn hour later the tricolour floated over Phuc-sa. During that night, however, fortune again wavered in the balance. The Black Flags drove the Turcos from their position and were within five yards of the earthworks when the Algerians were placed by the Colonial Infantry. Both sides fired at the flash of the enemy's guns, and the Chinamen gained a slight advantage by throwing fire-sticks.\n\nBut just when the French were worn out with fourteen hours' incessant fighting, the Black Flag bugles sounded the \"cease fire\" (identical with the French call) and they retired at five in the morning.\n\nNext day, the 15th, a fatal error was made in failing to resist the deploying of the French troops along the embankment which formed the works of Phuc-sa. When that movement westward was completed late in the afternoon, Sontay was lost and the fighting in Tonquin was practically over.\n\nYou will ask what all this has to do with Hung-Hoa. It has nothing to do with Hung-Hoa, but there is nothing much to say about that place, and the talk round the bivouac fires was all about Sontay.\n\nThere can be little doubt that the French looked forward to the attack on Hung-Hoa with some degree of anxiety, one might even say, apprehension. The citadel itself was nothing, like other citadels of Tonquin. Indeed, it was more feeble than the others, for it was within two hundred yards of the river.\n\nBut the gunboats could not mount to attack it, for there was not enough water, and the outworks were known to be very strong. Moreover, it was supposed that Liu Jung-fu would make a desperate stand here, on the verge of the forest and hill country, the last of any account on the Song-coi below Lao-kai.\n\nFurther, it was reported a month ago that the warlike Governor of Yunnan had come south with six thousand men and was going to check the French invaders.\n\nBut the earthworks had no cannon mounted in them, Liu Jung-fu was away in the hills between Tuyen-kwan and Thai-nguyen, waiting for the money which China neglects to send him—solicitations no doubt to pay the indemnity which France demands.\n\nThe Governor of Yunnan, instead of marching with six thousand men to the defence of Hung-Hoa, would appear to have marched all alone over to the majority, and the six thousand men were no doubt fully employed at his funeral.\n\nBut perhaps it would be as well to give something like a connected account of the operations.\n\nThere was a plan of operations. There was also a plan for the confusion of the Chinamen at Bacninh. Négrier was to do the cutting off there. He was not successful, mainly because it was impossible, certainly impossible when the other forces did not march in unison.\n\nAccordingly, Brière de l'Isle was deputed to cut off the retreat this time. He was to march up to Bat-Bac, a village which the perversity of map drawers places half a dozen miles inland, but which is really hard up against the banks of the Rivière Noire.\n\nThere he was to cross the river, march by a hill track, and take the Chinamen in the rear. Négrier was to march up to the confluence of the Rivière Noire with the Fleuve Rouge. There he was to cross and march straight on the town, detaching a battalion of infantry, all the cavalry, and a battery of artillery, which was to cross the Song-coi and seize the north end of the bridge which the Chinamen had constructed.\n\nThus there was to be no route left open for the garrison to retreat by except the road to Lao-kai, and they were to be very severely pounded before they made their escape that way.\n\nGeneral Brière de l'Isle with four thousand men left Hanoi on the 5th April to march overland to Sontay and thence to Bat-Bac. General Négrier followed him the next day, and true to his name of Mao-lem, which the soldiers have given him, finished the march to Sontay, which had taken Brière's column the best part of three days, by mid-day on the second.\n\nMao-lem means \"hurry up\" or \"be quick\" and is the uniform cry of the soldiers who guard the baggage train. The convoy of each column numbers about a thousand coolies and extends over a matter of a mile in length on Tonquin roads, so that the refrain becomes sufficiently monotonous.\n\nThe General cries \"en avant,\" the officers ejaculate \"sorrez,\" and the baggage guard echoes \"Mao-lem.\" That is the supposed train of thought.\n\nIt is enough, however, without being so logical, to say that Négrier always makes heavy marches, that he hurries from one end of the column (6,000 yards long) to the other, all through the day, and at the end of the march, when everybody else is content to rest tranquilly in his billet, goes out prospecting the surrounding country.\n\nWell may the French hope for much from his energy and look upon him as the \"coming general.\" Coming for what, all the world knows.\n\nNégrier's big march did not, however, conduce to the comfort of the troops. Nobody in Sontay expected him, and there was no room for his troops, so he had to stay outside, and the wretched villagers who had \"the Legion\" and the plundering baggage coolies settled in their midst, had still more solid reasons for regret.\n\nHowever, next day Brière went off to Bat-Bac and reached there in two days, and on the afternoon of his entry Négrier was joined by the Commander-in-Chief, the Grand Buddha, as the Annamese call him.\n\nA march was made up the embankment following the river the next day, and the troops cantoned within three miles of the Black River.\n\nThere they had to wait a day for the heavy guns; the \"pieces of 80\" and of \"95\" had been embarked in junks and they all got aground with one accord across the mouth of the Rivière Claire.\n\nThey were got off and towed up a mile or two and then got aground again, and finally the men had to be disembarked and taken overland.\n\nAll this took time, and it was in the grey light of a rainy Good Friday morning that the troops arrived at the mouth of the Black River.\n\nBrière de l'Isle had extended his line down the right of the river from Bat-Bac so as to keep in touch with the second column. He had done more. He had established a battery of \"pièces de quatre-vingt\" the day before on a hillock close to the river and had pitched shells into Hung-Hoa from a distance of 6,000 yards.\n\nThis was denounced by everyone as premature and as a blunder. But there were more mistakes coming.\n\nIn the meantime, we were somewhat astonished to find a little post of Chinamen established in a small entrenched barricade right opposite us.\n\nThere was a sentinel marching up and down in full view, and every now and then a man would walk out onto the bank and have a shot at us.\n\nThe river itself was about 350 yards in width, but there were broad sandbanks on either side, and we were on a high bank. We therefore looked on tranquilly.\n\nPresently, however, an unlucky Turco got his left shoulder smashed with a bullet, and then a few volleys of companies were despatched to make the Celestials quit.\n\nThis they did without either delay or loss. Meanwhile, some junks designed to make a bridge and conveying ammunition and stores came up the Red River.\n\nA hundred or so of Annamese and Chinese mixed thereupon came down the left bank of the Song-coi and commenced rifle fire at about 1,300 yards or so.\n\nFinding this ineffectual, they got out a gingal, but had only fired three shots when the Eclair came up and sent them to the right about with some rounds from her Hotchkiss guns.\n\nMeanwhile, the big guns were getting into position on a little pine-crowned hillock behind the village of Truong-Ba, where we had halted.\n\nBetween eight and nine o'clock they commenced their fire. There was a battery of \"pieces of eighty\"—ordinary European horse artillery—and a battery of \"siege guns\"—\"pieces of ninety-five,\" the regular field artillery of...\n\n28* 1474\n\n-lery of",

Read: a Minute by the Surveyor General (Mr. PRICE) relative to the conversion of the Post Office Building into Offices for the Colonial Treasury.\n\nThe Committee recommend that the vote of $1,650, being the amount required for the alterations, be approved, as it will be most convenient to have the Treasury and Post Office in one building.\n\n### Public Drinking Wells\n\n(6.) Read: A letter from the Surveyor General (Mr. PRICE), applying for a vote of $1,200 for the purchase of, and erection in situ of 12 force-pumps to be placed over public drinking wells.\n\nThe Committee, in view of the extreme necessity of preventing the water in the public drinking wells from being polluted by lowering dirty buckets into them, recommend that the vote of $1,200 be approved, in order that each well may be covered, and the water raised by strongly built pumps not liable to get out of order.\n\n### Crown Resumption of Inland Lot 418\n\n(7.)

L'expédition faite dans la province de Nam-Dinh est terminée. Les rebelles, commandés par le De-Doc, ont été entièrement dispersés en éprouvant des pertes considérables. Leur chef, blessé, s'est réfugié à Bac-Ninh.\n\nLes colonnes mobiles qui ont parcouru la province de Son-Tay ont également dispersé les bandes ennemies en leur tuant quatre ou cinq cents hommes. Sur les côtes du Tonkin, le Parseval a détruit l'établissement des pirates chinois aux îles Gow-Tow et à Fou Taï-Moon, en leur tuant et blessant beaucoup de monde.\n\nA Hoé, les dispositions paraissent excellentes. Le roi a désigné deux plénipotentiaires pour assister le commandant en chef dans la pacification du pays. Notre résident en Annam est satisfait du choix de ces personnages. Ils se rendent par terre au Tonkin, afin de faire cesser les troubles qui agitent encore les provinces de Than Hoa et de Ngé-Han. A Bac-Ninh, il y a mésintelligence entre les troupes chinoises et annamites.\n\nLe gouverneur de la Cochinchine télégraphie de Saigon, à la date du 8 février : L'enquête faite au Cambodge à la suite de l'assassinat de M. Bruel a établi la culpabilité des pirates commandés par Sivotha. Deux villages frontière, dont la participation au crime a été rendue évidente, ont été rasés par ordre des autorités cambodgiennes.\n\nLes deux ministres plénipotentiaires envoyés à l'amiral Courbet pour aider à la pacification du pays sont le ministre des travaux publics de l'Annam et le secrétaire du conseil. Les deux ambassadeurs envoyés autrefois par l'Annam auprès du gouvernement chinois sont revenus très désillusionnés. Le général Millot arrivera le 10 février au Tonkin.\n\n1.

Il est permis aux sujets Néerlandais d'importer et de vendre la bière et les vins en payant le même droit que le droit d'accise imposé par les lois Siamoises sur les articles semblables fabriqués à Siam, mais ce droit imposé sur la bière et sur les vins importés ne dépassera jamais 10 pour cent ad valorem. Les droits sur les esprits importés, les vins, et la bière, remplaceront le droit d'importation de 3 pour cent établi par les Traités en vigueur et ne seront pas considérés comme additionnels à ce droit.\n\nLes esprits, la bière, et les vins ne pourront être soumis à aucun autre droit, taxe, ou impôt. L'échelle des droits d'accise imposée sur les esprits, les bières, et les vins fabriqués à Siam sera communiquée par le Gouvernement Siamois au Gouvernement de Sa Majesté le Roi des Pays-Bas, et aucun changement de ces droits ne pourra être appliqué aux sujets Néerlandais jusqu'à l'expiration de six mois après la susdite communication du Gouvernement Siamois.\n\n## ARTICLE II\n\nL'analyse ou vérification des boissons importées dans le Royaume de Siam par les sujets Néerlandais sera faite par des experts désignés l'un par l'autorité Siamoise, l'autre par le négociant importateur et à son défaut par le Représentant Consulaire des Pays-Bas,\n\nEn cas de désaccord les Parties désigneront un tiers arbitre.\n\n## ARTICLE III\n\nLe Gouvernement Siamois aura la faculté d'arrêter l'importation à Siam par les sujets Néerlandais des esprits qui, examen fait, seront jugés nuisibles à la santé publique.

Le Mousqueton, sur lequel se trouvait le chef d'état-major de la division navale, prit les devants du corps expéditionnaire pour aller indiquer le point de débarquement et vérifier les sondages d'après lesquels ce point avait été choisi quelques jours auparavant.\n\nUne première colonne (colonne de gauche), sous les ordres du colonel Belin, prenait la route de terre par Phu-Ocï et Phong, où elle devait passer la nuit.\n\nCette colonne comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Jouneau et Le Tellier (tirailleurs algériens) et le bataillon Donnier (légion étrangère) | formant le régiment de marche du 19e corps |\n| Bataillon Roux (infanterie de marine) |  |\n| Auxiliaires tonkinois | 800, commandant Bertaud |\n| Batteries attelées de 4 de montagne et une batterie attelée de 65mm (artillerie de marine) |  |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nAprès avoir traversé le Day, elle devait rejoindre le lendemain l'autre fraction du corps expéditionnaire, qui prenait passage sur la flottille.\n\nCette seconde fraction (colonne de droite), commandée par le colonel Bichot, comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Chevallier, Dalieu et Reygasse (infanterie de marine) | sous les ordres du colonel de Maussion |\n| Bataillon des fusiliers marins | commandant Laguerre |\n| Batteries traînées de 4 de montagne (artillerie de marine) | 3 batteries |\n| Batterie de 65mm du corps de débarquement de la division navale |  |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nLa flottille se composait ainsi qu'il suit :\n- Le Pluvier, la Trombe et l'Eclair, portant ensemble environ 1,500 hommes\n- Les petites canonnières Hache, Mousqueton, Yatagan, surveillant et protégeant la marche\n- La Fanfare, mouillée depuis longtemps au-dessus de Palan, dégageant le cours du fleuve en amont\n- Trois chaloupes à vapeur, chargées des communications\n- Un grand nombre de remorqueurs et de jonques, portant le reste des troupes et le matériel\n\nLa batterie de 80mm de campagne avait été embarquée, comme réserve, dans le chaland le Guan-Cam.\n\nLa Surprise restait à Hanoi pour protéger la ville et le cours du fleuve en aval.\n\nJ'avais mon pavillon sur le Pluvier.\n\nCe n'est pas seulement afin d'accélérer le mouvement que je dirigeais une partie du corps expéditionnaire par le fleuve. Presque certain que l'ennemi ne nous attendait point à l'endroit choisi pour le débarquement, je comptais que cette colonne donnerait à l'autre un vigoureux appui, si le passage du Day était disputé.\n\nLa flottille remonta le fleuve sans autre incident que quelques coups de hotchkiss tirés à grande distance sur des pavillons blancs qu'on aperçut près d'une pagode de la rive gauche, aux environs de Palan.\n\nÀ trois heures trente, je quittai le Pluvier et me transportai sur l'Eclair avec le colonel Bichot, le colonel Badens, le colonel Révillon et mon état-major général.\n\nLes troupes de la colonne étaient fatiguées ; il fallait attendre au lendemain pour franchir l'espace de 5 ou 6 kilomètres qui nous séparait des ouvrages avancés de Sontay.\n\nLe 12, à six heures et demie du matin, le corps expéditionnaire se mit en marche sur deux colonnes. Celle de gauche, commandée par le colonel Belin, suivait la grande digue intérieure ; celle de droite, commandée par le colonel Bichot, s'avançait par la route qui borde le Song Cui, tandis que la flottille la suivait à petite vitesse sans dépasser la tête des troupes.\n\nLe débarquement commença sous la direction du capitaine du Mousqueton et continua sans relâche au fur et à mesure que les navires chargés de troupes venaient accoster. Pendant ce temps, le Pluvier et les petites canonnières protégeaient l'opération, qui ne fut d'ailleurs nullement inquiétée par l'ennemi.\n\nÀ six heures du soir, infanterie, artillerie, chevaux et bagages étaient à terre.\n\nLes bataillons, aussitôt formés, avaient reçu l'ordre de pousser en avant, perpendiculairement au fleuve, jusqu'à la grande digue, située à deux ou trois kilomètres à l'intérieur, et de prendre leurs cantonnements en s'échelonnant dans les divers villages situés sur cette ligne.\n\nJe plaçai mon quartier général sur le bord du fleuve, restant ainsi en communication avec la flottille et avec le poste de télégraphie optique de Palan.\n\nCe poste me donna le soir même des nouvelles de la colonne de gauche.\n\nLe colonel Belin s'était avancé sans incident jusqu'au Day, y avait trouvé les jonques destinées à établir un pont ; il comptait le construire pendant la nuit et traverser le lendemain matin de bonne heure.\n\n### Description de Sontay\n\nIl convient, avant de commencer le récit des combats qui ont amené la prise de Sontay, de donner une description détaillée des nombreux ouvrages que l'ennemi avait accumulés aux abords de cette ville et qui en faisaient une forte place de guerre.\n\nLa citadelle de Sontay, située à 2 kilomètres du fleuve environ, forme un carré de 300 mètres de côté, entouré d'un mur en maçonnerie de 5 mètres de hauteur. Le mur est couronné de fraises constituées par des bambous croisés et liés entre eux. Cette ligne de fraises fait saillie à l'extérieur sur une largeur de deux mètres et présente un obstacle sérieux à l'escalade.\n\nLa partie supérieure du mur forme parapet de 1 mètre de largeur, sur lequel sont disposées des plates-formes pour l'artillerie et des abris pour les défenseurs. À 80 centimètres au-dessous de la crête du mur règne un terre-plein.\n\nAu milieu de chaque face se trouve une demi-tour circulaire de 30 mètres de diamètre, dont le flanc droit est percé d'une porte vadée. Un pont massif en briques traverse le fossé dans la direction de la capitale de la demi-tour. Une porte en bambous ferme l'entrée du pont ; une porte massive en bois ferme l'accès dans la demi-tour et dans la citadelle. La porte de l'Est est murée.\n\nUn fossé d'environ 20 mètres de large, profond de 3 mètres et rempli d'eau sur une profondeur de 1 mètre, entoure le rempart, dont il est séparé par une épaisse berme ou bande de terre de 8 mètres de large appelée Chemin des Éléphants ; les lèvres du fossé sont à pic et revêtus de maçonnerie.\n\nÀ l'intérieur de la citadelle, on distingue la tour en briques, de 18 mètres de hauteur, qui domine au loin. Le reste de la citadelle est occupé par les maisons des mandarins, les magasins à riz, vastes bâtiments visibles à l'extérieur, et d'autres édifices publics.\n\nAutour de la citadelle se trouve la ville, qui se compose de quatre rangées de maisons en briques ou en torchis disposées le long des routes aboutissant aux quatre portes de l'enceinte extérieure. Ces portes sont en maçonnerie massive ; celles de l'Est et de l'Ouest sont murées en terre, celles du Nord et du Sud seules peuvent s'ouvrir : les portes sont reliées par un retranchement composé d'un parapet en terre de 4 à 5 mètres de hauteur, percé d'embrasures et de créneaux revêtus en bois de clayonnage, permettant aux défenseurs de tirer le fusil ou le canon sans être vus de dehors. Le parapet est entouré d'un fossé de...\n\n### Suite des opérations\n\nDans la matinée du 12, je parcourus les positions avec le colonel Bichot et le chef d'état-major et je reconnus le pays. Complètement plat, et relativement sec à cette époque de l'année, il est couvert de villages boués, généralement entourés d'épaisses haies de bambous, qui en font de petites forteresses. Ces villages laissent entre eux des espaces dégagés couverts de rizières et de champs de cannes à sucre.\n\nDans l'après-midi du 12, toute la colonne de droite fut portée en avant et établie, depuis le fleuve jusqu'à la grande digue, sur une ligne de 2 kilomètres de développement, perpendiculaire à la rive, passant par le village de Xuyen-Van, où s'établit le quartier général. Les bataillons étaient rangés dans l'ordre suivant, à partir de la droite :\n- Bataillon Chevallier, s'appuyant au fleuve\n- Bataillon des fusiliers marins, commandant Laguerre, à côté du quartier général\n- Bataillon Reygasse\n- Bataillon Dalieu, à l'extrême gauche, s'appuyant à la digue\n\nL'artillerie, sous les ordres du colonel Révillon, était placée un peu en arrière du quartier général.\n\nCependant, la colonne de gauche rencontrait de grandes difficultés pour traverser le Day. Le pont établi dans la nuit s'était rompu et le colonel Belin s'était vu obligé de faire le va-et-vient avec des jonques, non sans éprouver de sérieux embarras pour le transport des canons et des chevaux. Ce passage, effectué d'ailleurs sans résistance, occupa toute la journée du 12 et la nuit était déjà fort avancée quand les troupes purent prendre leurs cantonnements.\n\nC'est seulement le 13, à midi, que la colonne de gauche put rejoindre la colonne de droite...",

Une ligne d'abatis en bambous secs non élagués recouvre le fossé. Entre le fossé et le parapet, une berme de 3 à 4 mètres de largeur est couverte de bambous vivants, très serrés, de 8 à 10 mètres de haut, qui cachent complètement la ville aux vues de l'extérieur. Cette haie de bambous est un feu obstacle infranchissable.\n\nLa porte Ouest de l'enceinte extérieure étant murée, un passage d'un mètre de large a été pratiqué à travers la haie de bambous, à 40 mètres au sud de la porte. Par cette ouverture, on peut arriver au pied du rempart et l'escalader. Elle est couverte par un tambour, fermé lui-même par une porte en bois. Extérieurement, une route aboutit à la porte Ouest et contourne le fossé jusqu'à la porte du tambour, qu'il faut franchir d'abord pour pouvoir entrer ensuite dans l'enceinte, un à un, par la coupure pratiquée à travers les bambous.\n\nLes portes du Nord, du Sud et de l'Est sont protégées par un tambour en palanques; des défenses accessoires, petits piquets, chevaux de frise, fraises, couvrent les abords et les couronnements des portes.\n\nÀ l'extérieur de la ville, le terrain est couvert de villages et de pagodes fortifiés par une haie vive de bambous et un parapet en terre percé de créneaux, qui défendent les approches de l'enceinte. Les principaux sont: Mai Chay, Nghia-Phu, Thanh-Tri, Van Gia, vers le Sud; Thien-Haan et Phuc To, vers le Nord-Est; le village, le marché et les pagodes de Phu Nhi, Van-Mien, vers le Nord-Ouest. Du côté du Sud-Ouest, l'enceinte extérieure est longée par un arroyo de 30 mètres de large, sur lequel est un pont en bambous, en partie détruit, conduisant de la porte Ouest à la pagode de X:-Ba.\n\nDe la porte Nord, une rue conduit à l'embarcadère de Phu Nhi, qui avait été considéré par l'ennemi comme notre point de débarquement et avait été défendu en conséquence.\n\nLa digue venant du Day se rapproche du fleuve et va tomber sur la rive à Thien-Loc; elle s'en écarte ensuite progressivement pour la rejoindre une seconde fois au village de Noi. L'embarcadère de Phu Nhi est au milieu de ce demi-cercle, parfaitement commandé par la digue, qui a environ 5 mètres de surélévation.\n\nLa partie de la digue située entre Thien-Loc et Phu-Sa a été rongée en deux points par les eaux; aussi a-t-elle été doublée dans le Sud par une nouvelle digue traversant Linh-Chien et rejoignant l'ancienne à Phu-Sa.\n\nLa branche du Nord est organisée de la même manière; elle bat le terrain qui s'étend vers Phuc-To, Thien-Xuan et la partie Nord-Est de l'enceinte extérieure. Une porte défilée, pratiquée dans un retour de la coupure, permet de communiquer avec le reste de la digue vers Linh-Chien.\n\nCes deux portions de digues, que nous appellerons aussi branches de Phu-Sa, sont barrées par une palissade terrassée à hauteur de Thien-Xuan. À 100 mètres dans l'est de leur point de jonction, elles sont barrées de nouveau par un retranchement en terre, armé d'un canon placé dans une casemate qui les enfile suivant la direction de l'Est. À hauteur de ces deux batteries casematées, un retranchement en terre relie les deux branches.\n\nL'ensemble des deux branches et des retranchements constitue un ouvrage fermé.\n\nDu côté du Sud, le village de Phu-Sa est entouré d'un retranchement en terre pourvu de créneaux, qui se relie à la branche Sud et la flanque dans tous les sens. Ce village et la plaine sont à 6 ou 7 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la digue. Aux abords, le sommet et les talus de la branche Sud sont garnis de piquets de bambous et d'abatis. Du côté du Nord, le pied de la digue est longé par un fossé plein d'eau, couvert d'abatis de bambous.\n\nLe fleuve est battu en travers par les canons de Phu-Sa et enfilé par une grosse pièce établie près de la rive à la même hauteur. Cette pièce est protégée par un parapet et des traverses.\n\nTel est l'ensemble des ouvrages désignés sous le nom de forts de Phu-Sa, qui forment le point d'appui oriental des défenses dirigées contre le fleuve.\n\nD'après cette disposition des ouvrages, il fallait s'appuyer sur le fleuve pour avoir une base d'opérations solide, surtout avec le concours des canonnières, ainsi que pour échapper à toutes les difficultés de ravitaillement en vivres comme en munitions. C'était aussi là que la porte nord-ouest de l'enceinte, objectif présumé de l'attaque, était la plus accessible.\n\nAussitôt arrivé à Thien-Loc, après avoir reconnu les positions, je fis avancer sur la branche Sud le bataillon d'infanterie de marine commandant Dalien, précédé de sa compagnie de tirailleurs annamites, capitaine Doucet, flanqué dans la plaine, du côté du village Linh-Chien, par une compagnie d'auxiliaires tonkinois. Deux pièces de 4, en batterie à la grande digue, battirent en même temps, du côté de la plaine, les postes avancés ennemis qui furent enlevés sans grande difficulté, et la tête de colonne arriva rapidement au village de Linh-Chien. Le bataillon de Reygasse s'engagea sur la branche Sud à la suite du bataillon Dalien. En même temps, une batterie d'artillerie, placée à l'ouest de la grande digue, enfilait les extrémités et des branches de Phu-Sa et battait la pagode du village, sur laquelle tirait également la flottille, à la même hauteur sur la branche Sud, occupèrent le village et la pagode; nos troupes se trouvaient ainsi à 500 ou 600 mètres des ouvrages de Phu-Sa, dont le feu, très bien nourri, ralentit leur marche.\n\nVers dix heures trente, le bataillon Roux, un peu plus tard, le bataillon Chevallier (infanterie de marine), s'avançant par la branche Nord jusqu'à Noi, est organisée en une immense batterie: toutes les pièces sont sous casemates; des traverses nombreuses abritent les défenseurs et les pièces contre l'enfilade. Un mur en terre, de 1 m. 50 de hauteur et 2 mètres d'épaisseur, couronne la crête de la digue du côté du fleuve. Le sommet de la digue, qui a 8 ou 10 mètres de largeur, forme le terre-plein. Les défenseurs sont couverts par une rangée de maisons en paillottes disposées sur la crête opposée. Ces maisons servent de logements et de parados. Cette disposition existe aussi sur les branches de Phu-Sa, et empêche de voir d'une branche les défenseurs de l'autre.\n\nÀ 100 mètres à l'ouest de Phu-Sa, la digue est fermée par une forte palissade, renforcée par un parapet en terre disposé pour la fusillade, et pourvu d'une casemate armée d'un canon. Cette coupure a un retour percé d'une porte bien défilée.\n\nAu passage de la route de l'embarcadère à la citadelle, un grand tambour en terre et en palanques, avec casemates basses, couvre la porte et flanque le fossé de la digue. Ce tambour est contourné par le fossé. Il forme un véritable bastion. À l'ouest de ce tambour, le fossé s'élargit et forme un espèce d'étang jusque vers Noi. La rue de l'embarcadère est d'ailleurs obstruée, entre la digue et la ville, par une barricade armée d'un canon pouvant tirer vers la digue.\n\nUne batterie de canons de 4 fut établie alors entre les deux branches, à l'ouest du village de Linh-Chien, et deux pièces de 4 sur la branche Sud, à la sortie du village. Ces pièces ouvrirent leur feu vers une heure l'après-midi, prenant à revers les casemates de Phu-Sa et battant directement la batterie ennemie de 4 pièces de la branche Sud.\n\nLa flottille, de son côté, engagea le combat avec la batterie de Phu-Sa et les jonques armées de canons qui étaient accostées à l'embarcadère. La Fanfare, serrant de près la rive gauche, avait vue sur les ouvrages de Phu-Sa, qu'elle battit jusqu'au moment de l'assaut. Le tir avait lieu entre 1,500 et 2,000 mètres.\n\nDans la nuit, quelques coups de fusil furent échangés entre la légion étrangère et des tirailleurs ennemis embusqués dans le village boisé de Phu-Nhi, qui s'étend de la digue vers le Sud.\n\nPendant toute la journée, ce côté du champ de bataille fut le théâtre d'un combat indécis, engagé à fond ni d'un côté ni de l'autre, tandis que l'action principale se poursuivait à Phu-Sa.\n\nÀ deux heures et demie, le bataillon Jouneau (tirailleurs algériens), qui était en réserve à Thien-Loc, reçut l'ordre de se porter en avant. Il vint prendre position derrière une haie de bambous, entre la branche Nord et le fleuve, à 400 mètres environ de Phu-Sa, soutenu par une batterie de canons de 4 et par le feu de la flottille. À sa gauche, le bataillon Chevallier et une partie du bataillon Roux, soutenus par deux batteries de canons de 4, étaient déployés dans l'espace compris entre les deux branches et se reliaient au bataillon Dalien, dont deux compagnies, soutenues par deux pièces de 4, formaient la tête de colonne sur la branche Sud.\n\nLe colonel Bazin, dirigeant plus particulièrement l'opération sur la branche Nord, était assisté sur la branche Sud par le colonel de Maussion. Vers quatre heures, le colonel Bazin, jugeant que le feu de l'ennemi se ralentissait sensiblement, demanda l'autorisation de donner l'assaut.\n\nLa flottille reçut l'ordre de cesser le feu et, au signal du colonel Bazin, nos troupes s'élancèrent avec un élan admirable. Le bataillon Jouneau, son commandant en tête et la compagnie Godinet en tête, fila presque homme par homme, en dedans de la branche Nord, en dessous et en arrière des casemates ennemies, tandis que les bataillons Chevallier et Roux traversaient, non sans difficulté, la plaine marécageuse qui précède le retranchement crénelé sur la branche Sud. Les compagnies Cany (infanterie de marine) et Doucet (tirailleurs annamites), du bataillon Dalien, soutenues par une partie du bataillon Reygasse, enlèvent à la baïonnette la partie qui défend le passage; le capitaine Doucet trouve dans cette attaque une mort glorieuse. Ces compagnies, gagnant au pas de course le point de jonction des deux branches, y rallient le bataillon Jouneau, qui s'en est emparé quelques instants avant. Mais l'ennemi, repoussé, fait une résistance intrépide; solidement établi derrière la barricade élevée en travers à 100 mètres au-delà du point de jonction, embusqué dans le village qui borde la branche Sud à notre gauche, il dirige sur nos troupes un feu meurtrier; deux fois la compagnie Godinet, soutenue par la compagnie Cany, se précipite à l'assaut de la barricade, deux fois son élan vient se briser contre un obstacle infranchissable.\n\nCette nuit du 14 au 15 fut un combat continuel. Enhardis par l'obscurité, furieux de leur défaite, les Pavillons-Noirs ne cessent de harceler nos lignes, dirigeant sur Phu-Sa leurs plus violentes attaques et nous infligeant des pertes cruelles. Toutefois, ils ne peuvent entamer nos positions; un dernier mouvement offensif, tenté sur toute la ligne, vers quatre heures du matin, est repoussé comme les autres; alors, ils profitent des dernières heures de nuit pour évacuer tous les ouvrages du bord du fleuve et se renfermer dans l'enceinte extérieure de Sontay.\n\nAinsi, l'échec des attaques de nuit, achevant la défaite de l'ennemi, nous livrait sans combat une série de positions dont la prise de vive force nous eût coûté sans doute de très grands sacrifices.\n\nAprès avoir montré un entrain admirable dans l'assaut de Phu-Sa, et retrouvé une fois de plus cet élan qui les a illustrées dans tant de batailles, nos troupes, tirailleurs algériens et infanterie de marine, ont déployé au milieu de l'obscurité, durant ces longues heures de lutte, une bravoure, un sang-froid et une énergie dignes des plus glorieuses journées de leur histoire.\n\nLe 15, vers sept heures du matin, je retournai à Phu-Sa, où tout était rentré dans le calme. Je pus franchir sans difficulté la terrible barricade contre laquelle s'étaient brisés la veille tant de généreux efforts. Les corps mutilés de plusieurs de nos braves furent retrouvés auprès de la barricade, ainsi que ceux d'un certain nombre de Chinois que l'ennemi avait abandonnés dans sa fuite.\n\nLe 16, au jour, la légion étrangère alla fouiller ce village, où se trouvaient quelques Pavillons-Noirs; arrivée à la lisière Sud, elle échangea quelques coups de fusil avec le corps de la place et revint ensuite reprendre son poste sur la digue.\n\nLe bataillon Le Tellier, envoyé en reconnaissance dès les six heures du matin, arriva sans incident à 500 mètres de la butte qui défendait la porte Ouest de l'enceinte, un peu à droite, à 300 mètres environ de la grande pagode fortifiée de Mien-Hoi-Dong, occupée par l'ennemi. Il y fut reçu par une vive fusillade: c'était le prélude de la journée.\n\nVers dix heures, dans le lointain, au pied de collines, une forte colonne ennemie sortie de la ville se dirigeait vers l'Ouest, tentant sur notre droite un mouvement tournant; quelques-uns de ses tirailleurs avaient déjà atteint la lisière du bois.\n\nLe bataillon Le Tellier, relevé par la légion étrangère dans l'attaque principale, fut chargé de surveiller ce mouvement de l'ennemi; le bataillon Jouneau avait déjà dirigé une compagnie de ce côté. Quelques obus, envoyés à grande distance par une batterie établie sur la digue, jetèrent aussi le trouble dans les masses ennemies.\n\nJ'étais allé le matin examiner le terrain; j'y retournai alors et j'arrêtai les dispositions pour l'attaque.\n\nLe bataillon Dulieu prit position autour d'une pagode située entre le hameau de Ha-Tray et la pointe du village de Phu-Nhi. Le bataillon Jouneau fut mis en réserve le long de la lisière Ouest du village de Phu-Nbi; ces troupes étaient appuyées par la batterie et allaient occuper les positions évacuées. Le bataillon Chevallier, soutenu par une batterie d'artillerie et par le bataillon Reygasse, s'engageait dans la grande rue qui mène à la porte Nord, et le bataillon Roux allait remplacer à Phu-Sa le bataillon Reygasse. Ces derniers mouvements avaient pour but de simuler une attaque sur la porte Nord, que l'ennemi avait accumulé ses plus puissants moyens de défense, et d'attirer son attention de ce côté, tandis que l'attaque principale serait vivement menée contre la porte Ouest.\n\nCette dernière, en effet, quoique défendue par une batterie de quatre pièces, offre à l'attaque des conditions particulièrement favorables. Située à l'extrémité d'un saillant très allongé de la fortification, elle est percée au milieu d'un front en pan coupé de peu d'étendue, 30 mètres environ. Les deux faces S.-O. et N.-O., qui aboutissent à cette porte, peuvent être enfilées facilement par l'assaillant placé aux pagodes Dan-Xa-Trac, Dan-Son-Xuyen, Mien-Hoi-Dong et au marché de Phu-Nhi. Tous les projectiles dirigés sur le retranchement se concentrent dans le quartier Ouest de la ville et contribuent à le rendre inhabitable pour les défenseurs. De plus, l'aile droite de l'assaillant se trouve couverte par l'arroyo, sur lequel les pagodes nous donnent une tête de pont.\n\nEnfin, le terrain, bas près de l'arroyo et près de la digue, où il est même marécageux, se relève peu à peu en approchant de la porte Ouest.\n\nUn tertre isolé est situé près de la route.\n\nL'ennemi ripostait vigoureusement; les projectiles tombaient au milieu des nôtres. Un d'eux atteignit la Fanfare et fut amorti par le blindage en chaînes dont cette canonnière s'était protégée à l'extérieur; l'air...\n\nLe capitaine Godinet et son adjudant sont tués, le commandant Jouneau reçoit une balle dans la cuisse, le capitaine Cuny est blessé au bras; le lieutenant Clavet, qui le remplace, tombe frappé d'une balle quelques instants après. Les obus occasionnaient de grands ravages; ils démontaient des pièces et réduisaient les batteries au silence près. L'incendie des maisons voisines allumé par l'ennemi offre un nouvel obstacle. La nuit approche.\n\nLe colonel Bazin et le colonel de Maussion, préoccupés de défendre les positions conquises avant de pousser plus loin, font commencer un retranchement en avant de la plaine jusqu'au village de Phu-Tu-Dong.\n\nLa flottille et le convoi avaient suivi le mouvement des troupes et étaient venus mouiller un peu en amont, au point d'où l'on aperçoit la tour de la citadelle, les remorqueurs et bâtiments de charge accostés par le travers et en aval.\n\nÀ Noi, une batterie enfile la digue vers l'Ouest. Cette batterie est reliée avec les défenses du village Van-Mien par une palissade de Noï.\n\nLa digue du Nord est organisée en batterie casematée. Chaque pièce a sa casemate; entre les casemates sont des créneaux pour le fusil. Cette batterie a vue sur le fleuve et sur le terrain qui le sépare de la digue jusqu'à l'embarcadère. Un mirador entièrement construit est destiné à concourir, avec le gros canon de Phu-Sa, à enfiler le fleuve. Il n'est pas armé.\n\nLa citadelle se compose de plus de 100 pièces de canon, dont la moitié environ sont de petit calibre et susceptibles d'être déplacées.",

Plus tard, vers trois heures et demie, elle est occupée par une compagnie de tirailleurs algériens (lieutenant Ganeral, ancienne compagnie Doucet) et une compagnie d'infanterie (capitaine Bauchs), toutes deux du bataillon Dulien, et par une batterie d'artillerie. Vers la même heure, le bataillon de la légion étrangère prend position en avant du hameau de Ha-Tray, dans des maisons situées à 300 mètres environ de la porte Ouest, et derrière les petits terrassements qui coupent la plaine à cet endroit. De là, il dirige un feu non interrompu sur la place, qui riposte vigoureusement de ses fusils et de ses canons.\n\nAccompagné des colonels Bichot, Belin, Badens et Revillon, je vais reconnaître la position à la hauteur des lignes de tirailleurs. Un feu très vif part de toute la ligne; les troupes désignées pour rester en réserve trépignent d'impatience; le colonel Bichot est obligé de se multiplier pour les empêcher de suivre leurs camarades.\n\n### \n\nL'ennemi dirige sur nos braves un feu intense, plusieurs tombent, mais rien n'arrête leur élan. La tête de colonne de la légion étrangère, ne pouvant franchir la porte murée, file vers la droite le long de la fortification et réussit à se frayer un passage à travers le fouillis inextricable de bambous et d'obstacles de toutes sortes qu'y ont accumulés les défenseurs; le capitaine adjudant-major Mehl tombe frappé d'une balle au milieu de ses hommes; une partie des marins déblaie la poterne, tandis que d'autres traversent directement le fossé avec l'infanterie de marine et rejoignent la légion étrangère sur le talus extérieur du rempart; ceux que l'encombrement retient en dehors couvrent le parapet de feux. Après des efforts inouïs, la haie de bambous cède. Le soldat Mínnaert, de la légion étrangère; le quartier-maître Le Gair'zec, des fusiliers marins, et le caporal Mouriaux, de l'infanterie de marine, entrés les premiers dans l'intérieur de la place, sont immédiatement suivis par des masses nombreuses. La batterie de la porte murée est tournée et envahie, les grands étendards noirs tombent et sont remplacés par le drapeau français, les ennemis font en désordre vers la citadelle, nos troupes les poursuivent à travers les rues.\n\nÀ cinq heures quarante-cinq, j'entre dans la place, accompagné de mon état-major général; la nuit se fait rapidement, couvrant la retraite de l'ennemi qu'il serait téméraire de poursuivre au milieu de l'obscurité dans une ville inconnue. Il faut s'arrêter au milieu de ce brillant triomphe et s'organiser contre un retour offensif.\n\nPendant ce temps, le mouvement tournant de l'ennemi sur notre droite était facilement arrêté par les tirailleurs algériens et les canons Hotchkiss du Pluvier. L'Eclair et la Trombe exécutaient un bombardement lent et précis de la citadelle intérieure, dont la base et les abords portent la trace de leurs obus. Ce bombardement, quoiqu'ayant seulement une action indirecte dans la lutte qui se poursuivait, ébranlait puissamment le moral de l'ennemi en rendant presque intenable son seul refuge en cas de défaite.\n\n| \n| --- | --- |\n| Trois batteries d'artillerie sont placées, | deux à gauche, la dernière à droite du hameau de Phu Sa et Sontay ont leur place marquée de mon état-major général; |\n| le bataillon de fusiliers marins, massé en réserve à l'abri d'un monticule, | un peu en arrière des batteries de gauche. |\n\nVers 4 heures, la batterie de 65mm du corps de débarquement vient prendre position un peu en arrière des lignes de la légion étrangère, à la hauteur d'un petit tertre où se tient l'état-major général.\n\nL'artillerie cesse son feu; je commande : \"En avant!\" Les clairons sonnent la charge, nos vaillants soldats se précipitent aux cris de: \"Vive la France!\" La légion étrangère, ayant à sa tête le commandant Donnier, court vers la porte murée; le bataillon des marins, guidé par le commandant Laguerre, vers la poterne de droite, où s'élance également la compagnie Bauche, du bataillon Dulien.\n\nLe colonel Bichot s'occupe immédiatement d'approvisionner la place en munitions, en vivres; le commandant Laguerra est nommé commandant supérieur, le lieutenant-colonel de Maussion demande à le seconder: trois bataillons et trois batteries passeront la nuit dans l'enceinte; le bataillon de marins occupera l'enceinte depuis la porte Ouest jusqu'à la porte Nord, la légion étrangère occupera cette porte et la rue qui se dirige vers la citadelle; le bataillon Dulien occupera la partie de l'enceinte qui s'étend au sud de la porte Ouest. On restera toute la nuit sur la défensive. Le premier soin est de rendre les portes Nord et Ouest praticables, de barricader les rues qui mènent à la citadelle. Celle-ci sera attaquée le lendemain matin.\n\nJe rentre à huit heures du soir au quartier général, après avoir vu arriver le premier convoi de vivres et de munitions.\n\nLa nuit se passa dans un calme profond. Dès que le jour parut, le commandant Laguerre et le colonel de Maussion, qui s'avançaient prudemment pour reconnaître les abords de la citadelle, purent constater que l'ennemi l'avait évacuée. Ils y pénétrèrent sans coup férir.\n\nÀ neuf heures du matin, j'y entrais moi-même accompagné du colonel Bichot et des officiers de l'état-major général, aux acclamations de nos vaillants soldats; un drapeau tricolore, formé de trois lambeaux de pavillons ennemis noués ensemble, flottait sur la tour de Sontay. Jamais trophée ne fit battre plus vivement le cœur d'un Français.\n\nOn a su depuis que l'ennemi avait fui la ville en désordre aussitôt après l'assaut de la porte Ouest. Tout y indique une fuite précipitée. Canons, argent, munitions, vivres, armes, les défenseurs ont tout abandonné... tout, même leurs morts, malgré le respect légendaire que les Pavillons Noirs eux-mêmes professent pour les victimes du feu de l'ennemi.\n\nFaute de pouvoir leur couper la retraite, je fis partir immédiatement l'Eclair pour les empêcher de franchir la rivière Noire. Quoique cette canonnière calât à peine 80 à 90 centimètres, la baisse des eaux du fleuve ne lui permit pas d'atteindre le confluent de la rivière Noire. Il fallut se résigner à laisser les débris de l'armée de Louu-Vinh-Phuc se réfugier dans la direction d'Hanghoa et remettre au mois de mai l'expédition contre cette forteresse.\n\nD'après les renseignements que nous avons pu recueillir jusqu'à présent, les pertes de l'ennemi seraient très considérables : 900 tués et plus de blessés; Louu-Vinh-Phuc et son lieutenant blessés, plusieurs mandarins chinois tués.\n\nDe notre côté, 68 tués et 249 blessés le 14; 15 tués et 70 blessés le 16. Dans ce nombre, 4 officiers tués et 22 blessés.\n\nLes journées du 14 et du 16 resteront à jamais mémorables. Le corps expéditionnaire du Tonkin, composé d'éléments divers, mais animés du même souffle, a accompli des prodiges de valeur.\n\nJe suis avec un profond respect, monsieur le ministre, votre très obéissant serviteur.\n\n**Le contre-amiral commandant en chef les forces de terre et de mer au Tonkin,**\n\nA.

Dans la journée du 12 avril, elles se sont retirées après avoir incendié la ville. C'était sur la rivière Noire, qui se jette dans le fleuve Rouge, à 7 kilomètres au sud de Hong-Hoa, que le commandant en chef du corps expéditionnaire avait concentré ses forces. Le 12 avril, il a fait bombarder par des batteries de 80 et de 85 la citadelle de Hong-Hoa et les villages situés en avant de cette place. Les pièces ont tiré pendant six heures, et, tandis que le bombardement durait encore, les ennemis ont mis le feu à la ville et se sont dirigés vers le pont de bambous qui met Hong-Hoa en communication avec la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge. Comme les projectiles de l'artillerie française ne pouvaient atteindre le pont, la retraite des Chinois n'a pas été sérieusement inquiétée. Après avoir traversé le fleuve, ils ont remonté vers le nord dans la direction de Phu-Lang. Cependant, il paraît certain que toute la garnison de Hong-Hoa ne s'est pas retirée sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge; quelques détachements sont restés sur la rive droite et se sont dirigés vers Don-Vang, du côté de l'Ouest. Suivant le plan préparé par le commandant en chef, la brigade Brière de L'Isle devait manœuvrer de manière à tourner Hong-Hoa et à isoler cette place du massif montueux qui la sépare de Don-Vang.\n\nPour exécuter cette opération, le général Brière de L'Isle a traversé la rivière Noire à 8 kilomètres au sud du point où elle se jette dans le fleuve Rouge; mais, au moment où il a commencé ce mouvement, les Chinois avaient déjà évacué Hong-Hoa, et il n'a pu atteindre ceux des fuyards qui étaient restés sur la rive droite. Les Pavillons-Noirs ne paraissent pas avoir fourni de nombreux contingents à la garnison de Hong-Hoa. Le gros des troupes qui occupaient cette ville était formé de soldats de l'armée régulière de la province de Yunnan, qui étaient placés sous les ordres du mandarin Cham.",

        "content_text": "# Paris, 30 Avril '1884.\n\n## Journal Officiel 1er Mai 1884\n\n**Le ministre de la marine a reçu du général Millot le rapport suivant sur les opérations qui ont eu pour conséquence la prise de Bac-Ninh et la retraite de l'armée annamite et chinoise :**\n\nIl y avait deux partis à prendre : ou bien aborder de front les défenses accumulées sur la route d'Hanoï à Bac-Ninh, en faisant de ce côté l'effort principal ; ou bien tromper l'attente de l'ennemi, chercher à prendre ses positions à revers et menacer sa ligne de retraite, en concentrant tout le corps expéditionnaire entre le canal des Rapides et le Song-Cau, vers leur confluent, pour faire tomber la place sous l'effort combiné des deux brigades et de la flottille remontant le Song-Gay.\n\nDe ces deux solutions, la première devait fatalement entraîner de grands sacrifices d'hommes, la seconde semblait pouvoir être obtenue avec des pertes moindres et amener un résultat plus complet. Le général en chef n'hésita pas à adopter cette dernière. Il arrêta en conséquence les dispositions suivantes :\n\nLa 1re brigade partira d'Hanoi, passera sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge, longera le canal des Rapides, le traversera vers le marché de Chi et opérera sa jonction avec la 2e brigade. Celle-ci, quittant Haï-Dzuong par eau, débarquera au confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides, s'emparera des hauteurs de Tron-Cau et de Doson, prendra à revers les défenses des Chinois sur le canal des Rapides et favorisera ainsi le passage de la 1re brigade. La jonction du corps expéditionnaire une fois réalisée sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, les deux brigades réunies se porteront en avant et enlèveront successivement les deux lignes de défense ennemies s'étendant, la première, du massif important du Trung-Bon au barrage de Lag Buoi ; la seconde, de Bac-Ninh au barrage de Dap-Cau. La flottille combinera son action avec celle de la 2e brigade, en marchant à hauteur de sa droite.\n\n## DÉTAIL DES OPÉRATIONS\n\n### Journées de 7, 8, 9, 10 et 11 mars\n\n#### A) 1re brigade\n\nLe 7 mars, à 5 heures du soir, commençait le passage de la 1re brigade sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge ; opération suspendue pendant la nuit, reprenant le lendemain, dès la pointe du jour (5 heures), et, malgré des difficultés matérielles considérables, s'exécutant dans le plus grand ordre au moyen de soixante-quatre jonques et trois remorqueurs. Le 8 mars, vers huit heures du matin, la tête de colonne se mettait en marche.\n\nLes avis fournis par le service des renseignements avaient établi d'une façon positive que l'ennemi occupait Bac-Ninh avec le gros de ses forces, avait poussé de forts détachements vers le Song-Cau et le canal des Rapides, et tenait en particulier les directions et les points suivants :\n\n| Direction/Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| A) Route de Hanoi à Bac-Ninh | Des travaux de défense étaient échelonnés depuis Dinh-Ban jusqu'au canal des Rapides. |\n| B) Route de Bac-Ninh à Phu-Thuan-Thanh | Les points de Chi-nè et de Phu-Thuan-Thanh étaient occupés. Le village de Chi-nè était très sérieusement organisé. |\n| C) Hauteur du Tron-Cau | Plusieurs ouvrages se trouvaient sur cette hauteur. L'organisation défensive du Tron-Cau était complétée par les redoutes de Yen-Diah (sur le Song-Cau). |\n| D) Route de Bac Ninh à Lang-Son | Des retranchements existaient depuis Bac-Ninh jusqu'à Ben-Thuong (sur le Thuong-Giang). |\n| E) Hauteur de Doson | Couronnée par un petit fortin. |\n\nEn outre, deux barrages sérieux étaient signalés sur le Song-Cau : à Lag-Buoi et à Dap-Cau.\n\nLe 11, à deux heures cinquante minutes de l'après-midi, quatre jours après son départ d'Hanoi, la 1re brigade, suivie d'un immense convoi de deux mille coolies, était tout entière sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, qu'elle avait franchi au village de Xam. Le canal présente en cet endroit une largeur de 90 mètres. Le passage s'était effectué en moins de 6 heures au moyen de deux canonnières, de jonques remorquées et d'un pont de bateaux rapidement assemblé par les détachements du génie et de pontonniers.\n\n#### B) Marche de la 1re brigade\n\nLa brigade, débouchant du marché de Chi, se leva vers le nord, dans le double but de se rapprocher de la 2e brigade et de déborder par le nord les défenses du Trung-Son.\n\n#### B) 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, partie d'Haï-Dzuong par eau le 6, avait pris pied à la montagne des Sept-Pagodes (confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides), s'était emparée le 8, avec le concours de la flottille, de Tran-Cau, du fort de Naon, des ouvrages de Yen-Dinh et de la hauteur de Doson, après une série de combats vivement menés. Dès le 9 au soir, elle se mettait en communication avec la 1re brigade au moyen d'émissaires et de la télégraphie optique.\n\nA midi cinquante minutes, le général en chef donnait l'ordre au général commandant la 2e brigade de prendre ses dispositions de combat. Les bataillons se déployaient immédiatement, tandis que l'artillerie, traversant la rizière, allait prendre position et commencer à canonner les pentes du Trung-Son.\n\nAprès une préparation qui durait près d'une heure, la première ligne d'infanterie s'ébranlait, soutenue par une deuxième ligne formant réserve. Les villages au pied des pentes, les premiers sommets du Trung-Son sont enlevés avec entrain. Notre infanterie poursuit de ses feux l'ennemi qui cherche à gagner les pitons les plus élevés, et se porte bientôt en avant, pour briser la dernière résistance, sur la deuxième ligne de défense.\n\nQuelques coups de canon tirés sur Bac-Ninh suffisaient à briser la dernière résistance, et bientôt deux bataillons d'infanterie, sans sac, se portant en avant, entraient sans coup férir dans la place. A cinq heures cinquante minutes du soir, le drapeau français flottait sur la grande tour de la citadelle.\n\n### Journée du 12\n\nLe 11, à deux heures de l'après-midi, la concentration du corps expéditionnaire était un fait accompli. Le général en chef donna l'ordre suivant pour la journée du 12 :\n\nL'ennemi occupe une première ligne de défense dont la droite est appuyée à la hauteur du Trong-Son, et la gauche au Song-Cau, vers le village de Val. Entre ce dernier village et celui de Lag-Buoi, un barrage ferme le fleuve. La 2e brigade partira de Doson à six heures du matin et se portera sur la ligne ennemie. La flottille, partant de Yen-Dinh, remontera le Song-Cau, détruira le barrage de Lag-Buoi et appuiera l'attaque de la 2e brigade. La 1re brigade quittera son cantonnement de Xam à six heures et demie du matin ; elle se portera d'abord au marché de Chi, en suivant la rive gauche du canal des Rapides. Elle se dirigera ensuite sur le Trung-Son et s'en emparera.\n\n#### A) Description de la position ennemie\n\nLa position de l'ennemi, le 12 au matin, s'appuyait sur les hauteurs fortifiées de Trung-Son et au village retranché de Xuam-Hoa. En ce point, la ligne se brisait vers une direction ouest-est, pour couvrir une boucle accentuée du Song-Cau et le barrage de Lag-Buoi. Ce barrage était défendu par une forte batterie bien armée et par un fortin sur la rive droite, par des redoutes étagées sur la rive gauche. Entre le village de Xuam-Hoa et le barrage existaient sept redoutes carrées.\n\nC'est sur le Trung-Son que les Chinois avaient établi leurs principales défenses. Les sommets de ce massif étaient couronnés de quatre forts, dont les feux se concentraient sur la route d'Haï-Dzuong à Bac-Ninh qui passe à l'est de ses pentes. Cette route était également commandée par un cinquième fort, situé au sommet d'un cône isolé à l'ouest du massif.\n\n#### C) Marche de la 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, cantonnée dans les villages autour de ses positions de Doson, avait rompu à six heures trente minutes du matin et pris son ordre de combat en arrière des villages formant rideau, à trois kilomètres en avant de l'ancien fort de Doson, face à Xuam-Hoa. Les reconnaissances ayant permis de se rendre compte de la position de l'ennemi, le général commandant la 2e brigade s'était décidé à faire une fausse attaque sur les retranchements du barrage, et à percer la ligne ennemie à la cathédrale de Keroi.\n\nPendant ces mouvements de la 2e brigade, la flottille s'était avancée sur le Song-Cau. Elle avait pour instructions : maintenir sa tête en arrière du pavillon de rectification, porté par le corps de débarquement, qui était lui-même en échelon derrière la droite de la 2e brigade ; ouvrir le feu sur la batterie et les ouvrages du barrage ; ces ouvrages ruinés, diriger son feu sur les ouvrages de la rive gauche, s'avancer ensuite jusqu'au barrage et commencer aussitôt les travaux nécessaires pour obtenir un passage praticable aux canonnières et aux jonques.\n\nL'ennemi, qui comptait 25 à 30 000 hommes, s'était enfui en laissant en notre pouvoir une place où il avait accumulé depuis plusieurs mois des défenses sérieuses, où il avait envoyé ses meilleures troupes et ses chefs les plus renommés. Il nous abandonnait une centaine de canons, une batterie Krupp, quantité de fusils se chargeant par la culasse, des munitions (poudre et cartouches), et enfin de nombreux étendards.\n\nAu quartier général, à Hanoi, le 21 mars 1884.\n\n**Général MILLOT**",

Ces avantages considérables seraient-ils trop chèrement achetés de la part de la France par la renonciation à une indemnité pécuniaire, dont le principe n'était, d'ailleurs, ni contestable ni contesté ?\n\n\"Une satisfaction en argent aurait-elle, aux yeux du pays, plus de prix qu'un Traité de bon voisinage, une alliance commerciale et politique, ne laissant derrière elle ni humiliation, ni amertume, en livrant à nos productions, à l'étroit dans l'ancien monde, des débouchés inattendus ?\n\nNous ne l'avons pas pensé, et sur l'heure nous envoyions au Commandant Fournier les pleins pouvoirs du Gouvernement de la République, sous la seule condition de s'assurer, avant d'en faire usage, de la ratification préalable du Gouvernement Chinois. “Le 9 Mai, le Commandant Fournier télégraphie de Tien-tsin, à 5 h, 45 m, du soir :- \"Je remercie le Gouvernement de la confiance qu'il me témoigne. Le Vice-Roi me charge de vous transmettre ses remerciements pour l'empressement que votre Excellence a mis à approuver la Convention dans les termes mêmes où elle avait été arrêtée entre nous. Nous avons immédiatement demandé en termes pressants, par courrier extraordinaire, à la Cour de Pékin, son approbation définitive, en la priant de nous autoriser à signer dans le plus bref délai possible.' \n\n\"Le 10 Mai, 11 heures 23 du matin, M. Fournier écrit :— \"Tout sera terminé demain soir à 4 heures.\n\n\"Et, en effet, le 11 Mai, à 5 heures du soir, les deux Plénipotentiaires signaient la Convention, après s'être réciproquement communiqué leurs pleins pouvoirs.\n\n\"Voici cet acte, avec son préambule, et dans toute sa teneur, tel que le télégraphe nous l'a transmis : \n\n\"**Le Gouvernement de la République Française et Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine** voulant, au moyen d'une Convention préliminaire, dont les dispositions serviront de bases à un Traité définitif, mettre un terme à la crise qui affecte gravement aujourd'hui la tranquillité publique et le mouvement général des affaires, rétablir sans retard et assurer à jamais les relations de bon voisinage et d'amitié qui doivent exister entre les deux nations, ont nommé pour leurs Plénipotentiaires respectifs, savoir — \n\n| Puissance | Plénipotentiaire |\n| --- | --- |\n| Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine | S. Son Excellence Li-Hong-Tchang, grand tuteur présomptif du fils de Sa Majesté Empereur, Premier Secrétaire d'État, Vice-Roi du Tchili, noble héréditaire de première classe, du troisième rang; |\n| Le Gouvernement de la République Française | M. Ernest-François Fournier, Capitaine de Frégate, Commandant l'éclaireur d'escadre le \"Volta,\" officier de la Légion d'Honneur; |\n\n\"Lesquels, après avoir échangé leurs pleins pouvoirs, trouvés en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :— \n\n## Article 1\n\"La France s'engage à respecter et à protéger contre toute attaque d'une nation quelconque, et en toutes circonstances, les frontières sud de la Chine limitrophes du Tonkin.\n\n## Article 2\n\"La Chine, rassurée par les garanties formelles de bon voisinage qui lui sont données par la France quant à l'intégralité et à la sécurité de ses frontières sud, s'engage à retirer immédiatement sur ses frontières toutes les garnisons Chinoises du Tonkin et à respecter, dans le présent et dans l'avenir, les Traités directement faits ou à faire entre la France et la Cour d'Annam.\n\n## Article 3\n\"Reconnaissante de l'attitude conciliante de la Chine et pour rendre hommage à la sagesse patriotique de son Excellence Li dans la négociation de cette Convention, la France renonce à demander une indemnité à la Chine. En retour, la Chine s'engage à admettre sur toute l'étendue de sa frontière sud limitrophe du Tonkin, la liberté du trafic des marchandises entre la France et l'Annam d'une part et la Chine de l'autre, à régler par un Traité de Commerce et de Tarifs à faire dans l'esprit le plus conciliant de la part des négociateurs Chinois et dans des conditions aussi avantageuses que possible pour le commerce Français.\n\n## Article 4\n\"Le Gouvernement Français s'engage à n'employer aucune expression de nature à porter atteinte au prestige de la Chine dans la rédaction du Traité définitif qu'il va contracter avec l'Annam et qui abroge les Traités antérieurs relatifs au Tonkin.\n\n## Article 5\n\"Dès que la présente Convention aura été signée, les deux Gouvernements nommeront leurs Plénipotentiaires, qui se réuniront dans le délai de trois mois pour traiter définitivement sur les bases ci-dessus arrêtées.\n\n\"Conformément aux usages diplomatiques, le texte Français fait foi.\n\n\"Fait à Tien-tsin le 11 Mai, 1884, le dix-septième jour de la quatrième lune de la dixième année de Quang-Sha, en quatre expéditions: deux en langue Française et deux en langue Chinoise, sur lesquelles les Plénipotentiaires respectifs ont signé et apposé le sceau de leurs armes. Chacun des Plénipotentiaires garde un exemplaire de chaque texte.\n\n\"Tel est le Traité de Tien-Tsin. C'est une Convention préparatoire à compléter par des négociations ultérieures, mais ferme dans toutes ses clauses exécutoires, et, nous pouvons le dire dès à présent, en voie d'exécution.\n\n\"Nous avons trouvé, en effet, chez l'homme d'État éminent qui exerce actuellement sur les destinées de la Chine une influence prépondérante et qui a porté dans cette négociation une netteté de vues et de résolution si remarquable, la volonté bien arrêtée d'exécuter promptement et loyalement ce qui avait été si vite et si bien conclu.\n\n\"Une dépêche du Commandant Fournier, datée du 18 Mai, nous fait connaître que le retrait des garnisons Chinoises du Tonkin s'opérera, en vertu d'un accord passé avec le Vice-Roi, du 6 au 26 Juin prochain, dans les termes suivants, dont le Commandant-en-chef du Corps Expéditionnaire a reçu communication.\n\n| Date | Événement |\n| --- | --- |\n| 6 Juin | Évacuation de Lang-Son, Cao-Bang, Chat-Khe, et de toutes les places du territoire du Tonkin adossées aux frontières du Quang-Tong et du Quang-Si; |\n| 26 Juin | Évacuation de Lao-Kaï et de toutes les places du territoire du Tonkin adossées à la frontière du Yunnan. |\n\n\"De notre côté, nous avons déjà désigné, conformément à l'Article final de la Convention, nos Plénipotentiaires définitifs, et nous avons envoyé à M. Patenôtre, qui doit se trouver à Hué à la fin de ce mois, les instructions nécessaires pour donner satisfaction aux préoccupations particulières qui ont inspiré l'Article IV. La rédaction définitive du Traité du Hué ne contiendra, cela va de soi, aucune expression dont puissent s'émouvoir les susceptibilités de l'Empire du Milieu.\n\n\"Nous soumettons avec confiance toute cette négociation au jugement des Chambres et du pays. La France s'est toujours fait honneur de ne pas poursuivre ses victoires à l'extrême. Notre modération, hautement appréciée par l'opinion Européenne, nous assure la meilleure solution pour le présent, la plus grande somme de sécurité pour l'avenir.\"",

Jules Ferry in reply to the communications which, by your Lordship's instructions, I made to his Excellency on the above-mentioned dates upon the subject of a Proclamation which had recently been issued by the authorities at Canton inciting Chinese subjects to acts of hostility against the French at Singapore and Penang, and the withdrawal of which had been urged upon the Chinese Government by Sir H. Parkes, with the approval of the Government of Her Majesty.\n\nIn acknowledging the receipt of these two communications, M. Ferry says that the French Government know with what energy Her Majesty's Government would act under the circumstances in affirming the principles of humanity, and they also feel assured that the steps taken with the approval of Her Majesty's Government will prove sufficient to guarantee that complete security which Frenchmen are in the habit of finding in British possessions.\n\nOn both grounds, therefore, M. Ferry is desirous of conveying to Her Majesty's Government the satisfaction with which the Government of the Republic has received the confidential communications which I have addressed to him.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed) JOHN WALSHAM.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n**Monsieur,**\n\nM. Ferry to Sir J. Walsham.\n\nParis, le 30 Septembre, 1884.\n\nVOUS m'avez fait l'honneur de m'annoncer, par vos lettres **Confidentielles** du 28 et du 29 de ce mois, que le Ministre de la Reine à Pékin a reçu de Singapour et de Canton l'avis que les autorités Chinoises de ce dernier port avaient publié une Proclamation invitant les sujets du Céleste Empire à détruire les navires Français et à empoisonner nos nationaux dans les établissements Anglais du Détroit de Malacca.\n\nVous m'apprenez, en outre, que Sir Harry Parkes a immédiatement dénoncé au Tsung-li Yamên ces provocations, aussi outrageantes pour les lois de l'humanité qu'offensantes à l'égard des droits souverains de Sa Majesté Britannique, en faisant observer au Cabinet de Pékin qu'il n'avait d'autre parti à prendre que de promulguer sans retard un Décret Impérial, censurant les autorités de Canton et annulant leur Proclamation. Le Tsung-li Yamên n'avait encore répondu au Représentant Britannique qu'en excipant de l'ignorance où il se trouverait des procédés des autorités de Canton.\n\nVos communications m'informent également de l'approbation que le Comte Granville a donnée à l'initiative de Sir Harry Parkes. Des représentations analogues, directement adressées au Ministre de Chine à Londres, ont amené ce dernier à envoyer par le télégraphe à Pékin une dépêche qui ne peut laisser aucune incertitude au Tsung-li Yamên sur le prix que le Gouvernement de la Reine attache au succès des démarches de son Représentant.\n\nNous ne pouvions douter un instant de l'énergie que le Gouvernement de la Reine mettrait, dans une pareille circonstance, à affirmer les principes d'humanité que les nations civilisées tiennent à honneur de faire prévaloir, et nous nous plaisons à penser que ses démarches suffiront pour garantir la complète sécurité que nos nationaux sont habitués à trouver dans les établissements Britanniques. A ce double point de vue je vous serai reconnaissant de vouloir bien remercier de ma part le Comte Granville, et de lui exprimer la satisfaction avec laquelle le Gouvernement de la République a reçu les communications confidenties dont vous étiez chargé.\n\nAgréez, &c.  \n(Signé) JULES FERRY.\n\n271",

Waddington to Earl Granville.-(Received November 5.)\n\n**M. le Comte,**\n\nLondres, le 5 Novembre, 1884.\n\nJE n'ai pas manqué de transmettre à mon Gouvernement copie de la dépêche que votre Seigneurie m'a fait l'honneur de m'adresser le 31 Octobre dernier à la suite de la notification que j'avais été chargé de lui faire du blocus d'une partie du littoral de Formose par les forces navales Françaises réunies sous le commandement de l'Amiral Courbet.\n\nM. Jules Ferry m'accuse aujourd'hui réception de cette communication dans des termes qui ne laissent planer aucun doute sur la façon dont cette mesure doit être envisagée par les Puissances amies.\n\nAinsi que j'ai eu l'honneur de vous l'annoncer, M. le Comte, au cours de nos derniers entretiens, il n'entre pas dans la pensée du Gouvernement de la République, en bloquant certains ports de Formose, de faire entrer la lutte qui se poursuit dans l'Extrême-Orient, dans une nouvelle phase ayant pour conséquence de l'armer, à l'égard des neutres, des droits conférés aux belligérants. La ferme résolution du Cabinet Français est de limiter strictement le blocus aux dispositions nécessaires pour interdire d'une manière absolue l'accès des parages spécifiés dans la notification du 20 Octobre. Pas plus aujourd'hui qu'auparavant, il n'entend revendiquer le droit qui appartient aux seuls belligérants de visiter et de capturer en haute mer les bâtiments étrangers. L'action des croiseurs Français se bornera à maintenir un blocus effectif, et à en assurer le respect, soit en repoussant, soit en capturant les navires qui tenteraient d'en forcer les lignes. Ce sont là des droits que l'Angleterre, comme la France, a exercés dans des circonstances semblables en dehors de toute guerre déclarée, et dont les juridictions spéciales des deux pays ont consacré la légitimité.\n\nNous ne saurions donc prévoir qu'un désaccord pût s'élever sur ce point, et il est à peine besoin de dire que les Commandants des forces navales Françaises s'efforceront dans la pratique de concilier, autant que possible, la rigueur de leurs instructions avec les ménagements dus au pavillon d'une Puissance amie.\n\nJe me plais à espérer, M. le Comte, que ces explications auront pour effet de dissiper toutes les incertitudes qu'aurait pu faire naître dans l'esprit de votre Seigneurie la mesure de contrainte prise par le Gouvernement de la République à l'égard de la Chine dans les eaux de Formose, et de lui démontrer, en même temps, que le Cabinet de Paris, en ce qui concerne l'exécution de ce blocus, se trouve être en parfaite communauté d'idées avec les vues exposées par le Gouvernement Britannique dans sa note du 31 Octobre.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\n(Signé) WADDINGTON.\n\n### Earl Granville to M.

M.Waddington to Earl Granville.~(Received November 22.)\n\nLondres, le 21 Novembre, 1884.\n\nPAR une lettre en date du 11 courant, en réponse aux éclaircissements que j'avais eu l'honneur de fournir à votre Excellence, relativement à la nature du blocus de Formose, vous m'avez fait part des vues et des résolutions du Gouvernement de la Reine dans cette question.\n\nIl en résulte que le Gouvernement Français ne serait pas fondé à faire rentrer ce blocus dans la catégorie des blocus pacifiques, les mesures de cette nature n'impliquant pas, au profit des forces bloquantes, le droit de prise sur les navires étrangers.\n\nLe Gouvernement de la Reine estime, en conséquence, que depuis la Déclaration du 23 Octobre dernier, la France se trouve en état de guerre avec la Chine et il est disposé à reconnaître à la première de ces Puissances tous les droits que le blocus entraîne pour des belligérants au regard des neutres.\n\nNéanmoins, en raison des circonstances et des limites restreintes qui sont assignées actuellement aux opérations Françaises, le Gouvernement de la Reine est décidé à ne pas publier une déclaration spéciale de neutralité, tant que les hostilités resteront localisées et que la Chine et la France s'abstiendront d'exercer en haute mer les droits de visite et de prise.\n\nMon Gouvernement a pris, avec tout le soin qu'elles méritent, connaissance des déclarations de votre Excellence. Sur la question de principe il a le regret de ne pouvoir se rallier aux vues du Gouvernement de la Reine et croit devoir maintenir entièrement la doctrine dont je me suis fait l'interprète auprès de votre Seigneurie, par ma lettre du 5 de ce mois. Cette réserve faite sur le point de droit, le Gouvernement de la République prend acte, avec satisfaction, de la résolution prise par le Gouvernement de la Reine de ne pas édicter de déclaration de neutralité. Le désir de mon Gouvernement est de causer le moins de trouble possible aux intérêts du commerce étranger; il ne peut donc que se féliciter d'une mesure qui sauvegarde ces intérêts.\n\nIl est bien entendu d'ailleurs que les dispositions résultant du blocus tel que l'entend le Gouvernement Français, restent limitées à Formose et que, jusqu'à nouvel avis, les Commandants des croiseurs de la République s'abstiendront d'exercer en haute mer les droits de visite et de capture sur les bâtiments étrangers.\n\nVeuillez, &c.

La canonnière portait une aide et une protection sérieuses aux villages menacés ou attaqués. Ce rôle la désignait aux premières tentatives offensives de l'ennemi; aussi, dans la nuit du 8 au 9 septembre, une bande de 500 Chinois attaquait la canonnière; une vive fusillade révélait brusquement la présence de l'assaillant, qui ouvrait son feu à 400 mètres en amont et 150 en aval; en quelques secondes, la Hache ripostait de sa fusillade et de son canon-revolver, et, après une courte résistance, qui permit cependant à l'ennemi d'incendier en partie le village; la bande était mise en déroute avec des pertes sensibles.\n\nA la suite de renseignements obtenus par une nouvelle reconnaissance poussée jusqu'à Lam (18 septembre) et faisant prévoir que cette attaque ne demeurerait pas un fait isolé, mais que l'offensive ennemie allait se dessiner, la Hoche était renforcée de la Massue, capitaine Challier.\n\nLe mois s'écoulait sans nouvelle agression, les canonnières continuant leur rôle de protection des villages riverains, de police de la rivière et de transmission de renseignements. D'après ceux-ci, le commandement faisait préparer une colonne, composée de deux compagnies de légion étrangère, deux du 143° d'infanterie, une de tirailleurs tonkinois et deux pièces de 80mm de montagne, qui devait, sous le commandement de M. le colonel Donnier, refouler les bandes chinoises répandues dans la vallée de Loch-nan et dont le but paraissait être, en donnant la main à l'agglomération signalée à Bao-Loc, de s'emparer, au profit de l'armée de Lang-son, de la récolte de riz de cette riche vallée.\n\nUn télégramme du général Brière de l'Isle, en date du 2 décembre 1884, annonce qu'il a été trouvé dans un des villages du Loch-Nam une proclamation imprimée du vice-roi des deux Kouangs qui vise un décret impérial excitant à l'empoisonnement des Français.\n\nLe ministre de la marine a reçu du général Brière de l'Isle un rapport, en date du 23 octobre 1884, résumant les opérations qui ont eu lieu au Tonkin en octobre.\n\n### Rapport sur les opérations exécutées du 1er au 25 octobre 1884\n\nEn station dans la rivière de Loch-nan depuis le commencement d'août, la canonnière la Hache, capitaine Manceron, avait reconnu ces parages et donné la main à plusieurs petites opérations parties de Bac-Ninh.\n\nDu 5 au 9 août, elle arrivait au village de Lam, point extrême atteint par l'Aspic dans sa campagne hydrographique de 1876; du 20 au 25, profitant d'une crue, elle réussissait à monter jusqu'à Chu, en appuyant une reconnaissance faite par M. le chef d'escadron d'artillerie Palle, résident de Bac-Ninh, et participait à la prise et à la destruction de ce fortin.\n\nRevenue au mouillage de Loe-nan, sa mission consistait à empêcher les jonques de remonter la rivière pour porter des approvisionnements aux bandes signalées dans la haute vallée. Elle avait l'occasion de débander, de son canon-revolver, un parti de 300 Chinois; le lendemain, ses embarcations armées en guerre reconnaissaient l'arroyo de Dong-triên.\n\nDe toutes ces reconnaissances et de sa situation, ...\n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nPendant cette période, une colonne, composée d'une compagnie d'infanterie légère d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, sortait, le 29, de Haï-Dzuong, sous les ordres de M. le chef de bataillon Tonnoi, du 24 tirailleurs tonkinois, et, avec le concours des canonnières Mousqueton, capitaine Fortin, et Rafale, capitaine Babean, poursuivait des bandes tenant la campagne au nord de Haï-Dzuong et dans la vallée du Song-Kinh-thai. Cette colonne rentrait le surlendemain, ayant eu, sur la rive gauche du fleuve, le contact presque permanent avec les vedettes ennemies, mais sans pouvoir les atteindre. Une petite garnison était laissée à Lac-son pour surveiller le pays (rive droite du Song Kinh-thaï, entre les Sept Pagodes et Dong-trieu, à environ 3,000 mètres dans l'intérieur); elle se composait de 50 hommes du bataillon d'Afrique et de la compagnie de tirailleurs tonkinois; elle était sous les ordres de M. le capitaine Canivet, commandant cette compagnie.\n\nTelle était la situation le 2 octobre, lorsque les canonnières Hoche et Massue, en reconnaissance dans le Loc-nan, étaient furieusement attaquées près du village du même nom, par 4,000 Chinois. Le Mousqueton, en route sur le Song-thuong, appelé par l'intensité de la canonnade, prenait aussi part à ce combat, dans lequel nos canonnières, fusillées par un ennemi caché derrière les bambous et dans de hautes berges très fourrées, à une distance parfois de 30 mètres à peine, durent traverser à deux reprises les positions des assaillants en les mitraillant du feu de leurs pièces et de leurs canons-revolvers. Mais nos pertes étaient sensibles: la Massue avait perdu son capitaine, M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Challier qui, frappé le matin, à la montée, d'une balle à la gorge, mourait, l'après-midi, dans la descente; cinq hommes avaient été blessés. La Hache comptait six blessés, dont deux très grièvement. Enfin, le Mousqueton avait, dans son équipage, dix blessés, dont cinq grièvement, et, parmi le détachement du bataillon d'Afrique, d'escorte à son bord, dix blessés, dont trois grièvement.\n\nAprès la mise hors de combat du capitaine Challier, M. le capitaine Fortin avait pris le commandement de la petite flottille, et c'est sous sa direction qu'avait eu lieu la deuxième partie du combat à la descente.\n\nCe même jour avait été fixé pour la réunion de la colonne Donnier aux Sept-Pagodes où la trouvèrent les trois canonnières après leur engagement.\n\nLe même jour aussi, une colonne, sous les ordres de M. le commandant Servière, du bataillon d'Afrique, quittait Haï-Dzuong avec mission de prendre au passage la garnison de Lac-son et de se porter sur Dong-trien, important débouché de routes venant du nord. Il amenait avec lui une compagnie du bataillon d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, et devait être appuyé par le Mousqueton. Le 3, à trois heures du matin, avant la jonction, Lac-son, attaqué par 500 réguliers chinois, repoussait brillamment l'ennemi sans pertes de notre côté. Rejointe par le commandant Servière, sa garnison entrait dans la composition de cette colonne qui, dans la nuit du 4 au 5, livrait un brillant combat à un fort parti ennemi qu'elle chassait du village de Thinh-ngai, où il s'était retranché.\n\nDevant ces diverses attaques, révélant nettement l'invasion, il devenait nécessaire d'augmenter les forces agissant vers la face nord du delta. Aussi, tandis que le lieutenant-colonel Donnier remontait le Loc-nan avec Lam pour objectif, le lieutenant-colonel Defoy quittait Hanoi, le 3 au soir, pour Phu-Lang-thuong, avec trois compagnies du 23° de ligne (la quatrième n'était pas encore rentrée de My-Luong), le bataillon du 111°, deux sections de 80 millimètres de montagne, la 3° batterie bis de 4 rayé de montagne.\n\nDe plus, une colonne mobile était préparée à Phu-Lang-thuong sous le commandement de M. le chef de bataillon de Mibielle; elle comprenait un peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois, un bataillon de tirailleurs algériens, deux sections d'artillerie et quelques cavaliers.\n\n### Composition des colonnes\n\n#### Colonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2 compagnies du 143° | compagnie Fraissy-l'And et Cavellier |\n| 2 compagnies de la légion | compagnies Beynet et Bolgert |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Bataille |\n| 1 section de 80 millim. de montagne | lieutenant Largout |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n| Canonnières | Hache, Massue et Éclair |\n\n#### Colonne du commandant de Mibielle\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Robard |\n| 3° bataillon du 3° tirailleurs algériens | commandant de Mibielle |\n| 2 sections de 80 millimètres de montagne | 11° batterie du 12°, compagnie Jourdy |\n| Détachement du génie avec deux mulets d'outils |  |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n\n### Opérations\n\nLe 5 au soir, la situation était la suivante : Les renseignements faisaient connaître que l'ennemi était partagé en deux groupes principaux: l'un sur le Loch-nan vers Chu, fort d'environ 4,800 réguliers chinois; l'autre, vers Kep, estimé à environ 3,200 réguliers. Ces deux groupes paraissaient reliés par un fort détachement signalé à Bao-Loc.\n\nEn conséquence, le général se résolut : \n1° A pousser le lieutenant-colonel Donnier dans la vallée du Loch-nan en lui donnant Chu pour objectif.\n2° A le faire appuyer par le commandant de Mibielle, qui avait l'ordre de se trouver le 6 au soir à Hoa-Phu, de manière à pouvoir le rejoindre en quelques heures, si c'était nécessaire. Le commandant de Mibielle devait, en outre, refouler vers Bao-Loc, mais sans les presser, les partis ennemis qui voudraient s'opposer à sa marche.\n3° A chasser l'ennemi de Bao-Loc pour le rejeter, d'un côté sur le colonel Donnier, de l'autre sur Kep. Cette attaque de Bao-Loc avait, en outre, pour but de permettre ultérieurement une attaque sur Kep. Il eut été, en effet, imprudent d'attaquer Kep avant de s'être assuré que Bao-Loc était libre, un corps ennemi placé à Bao-Loc pouvant agir sur les derrières d'une colonne opérant contre Kep.\n\nLe 3, M. le général de Négrier quittait Hanoi pour aller prendre la direction générale de toutes ces forces; il se rendait à Phu-Lang-thuong, pour marcher avec la colonne Defoy.\n\nLe 5 octobre, les troupes étaient ainsi réparties:\n\n#### Dans la vallée du Loch-nan\n\nColonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier.\n\nLe lieutenant-colonel Donnier se trouvait, le 5 à midi, au village de Loch-nan, qui venait d'être attaqué par les Chinois. Les canonnières avaient pris le contact. Il remontait lentement le fleuve pour chercher un point de débarquement le plus près possible de son objectif, Chu.\n\n#### À Phu-Lang-thuong\n\nColonne du commandant de Mibielle : Troupes de sortie de la garnison.\n\nLe 5 au soir, à 4 heures 30, le général reçoit un courrier du commandant de Mibielle. Le commandant de Mibielle fait connaître qu'il a éprouvé dans sa marche les plus grandes difficultés et est en relation avec le colonel Donnier; il compte le rejoindre le 8.\n\nLa jonction de ces deux colonnes assurée et le pays de Bao-Loc vidé de l'ennemi, le général se décide à marcher immédiatement sur Kep. A cet effet, l'artillerie et deux compagnies d'infanterie, les malades de la journée et le quartier général se mettent en mouvement à 5 heures 30 pour bivouaquer à 8 heures 30 à la pagode Thomann. Le reste de l'infanterie, cantonné à Bao-Loc, a l'ordre d'opérer sa jonction avec les troupes de la pagode Thomann, le 8 au matin. Les pertes de cette journée étaient nulles. Quelques hommes atteints de coups de chaleur sont amenés à la pagode Thomann où ils sont gardés pendant la matinée du 8 par deux sections du 143° chargées de les escorter à Phu-Lang-thuong dès l'arrivée des coolies de transport envoyés par cette place.\n\n### Journée du 8. - Prise de Kep\n\nLe 8 au matin, le commandement n'avait que des renseignements vagues et contradictoires sur l'occupation de Kep par l'ennemi.\n\nSous la protection de l'avant-garde placée à 1,500 mètres en avant du carrefour des routes de Bao-Loc et de Kep, le gros avait pris la position de rassemblement.\n\nLa cavalerie dont disposait la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Le général et l'état-major de la brigade se tenaient à la pointe d'avant-garde pour être éclairés aussi vite que possible sur la situation, lorsqu'à 500 mètres de Kep, le capitaine Fortoul, chef d'état-major, aperçut la route barricadée et des groupes de l'ennemi poussant précipitamment des animaux au pâturage dans la direction du village. Enlevé au pas de course par le capitaine Fortoul, la tête d'avant-garde arrive pêle-mêle avec les Chinois sur la première barricade. Comprenant immédiatement la situation, cet officier porte un second groupe de l'avant-garde à la sortie nord du village. Le poste chinois qui l'occupe, entièrement surpris, est presque totalement détruit et le général jette en appui de la pointe la seconde compagnie d'avant-garde.\n\nUne attaque enveloppante par les deux ailes, principalement par notre gauche, se développait. Les lignes de tirailleurs épaisses, soutenues à courte distance par des groupes compacts, étaient sorties brusquement d'un pli de terrain situé au sud du village de Cham.\n\n| Situation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Attaque | enveloppante par les deux ailes |\n| Direction | principalement par notre gauche |\n| Lignes de tirailleurs | épaisses, soutenues par des groupes compacts |\n| Origine de l'attaque | pli de terrain situé au sud du village de Cham |\n\nCette attaque avait pour objectif la hauteur occupée par l'artillerie et une ligne de hauteurs dominantes situées en arrière. Elle fut résolument menée que les garde-flancs refoulés repassèrent en arrière de la crête.\n\nUn second assaut avait été repoussé. L'artillerie donnait de nouveau tout entière sur le village. Le général fit alors descendre une pièce de 4 de montagne qui fut amenée à bras à 50 mètres du réduit où elle fit brèche.\n\nL'ennemi tenta par cette brèche une sortie désespérée qui ne put réussir, l'ouverture se trouvant presque instantanément bouchée par encombrement de morts et de mourants. Les troupes se jetèrent de nouveau sur le réduit et durent une troisième fois reprendre leurs positions.\n\nUn retour offensif de l'ennemi n'était plus à prévoir et le général renforce l'attaque par la compagnie Barbier (143e).\n\nIl est ordonné à l'artillerie de reprendre le feu rapide sur le réduit jusqu'à la sonnerie de la charge.\n\nLe gros achève le déploiement de sa première ligne et, garnissant la crête, se trouve à 150 mètres de la ligne de tirailleurs chinois; cette ligne est en un instant écrasée par les feux rapides. Les deux pièces de gauche de l'artillerie, faisant en même temps face à gauche, les cribent de mitraille, tandis que tous les conducteurs disponibles les prennent en écharpe avec leurs mousquetons.\n\nÀ ce signal, donné à deux heures dix minutes, la compagnie Barbier formée en colonne d'assaut se jette contre la face nord du réduit, accompagnée par les feux des deux compagnies Verdin et Barbier, qui les poursuivirent de hauteur en hauteur jusqu'au village de Cham. Ce village, battu par l'artillerie de Saxcé (80 millim. de montagne), fut bientôt évacué et ses défenseurs se replièrent sur la ligne des hauteurs en arrière.\n\nPresque en même temps, une attaque enveloppante par la droite, qui s'était glissée à travers bois et derrière les compagnies Gignou et Gaillon, avait pris position à la tête d'un ravin dont la direction enfilait l'artillerie.\n\nLa section de droite de la batterie de Saxcé lui fit immédiatement face, tandis que la compagnie Barbier contre-attaquait. Au bout de 20 minutes, les Chinois disparaissaient et ne se montraient plus. La compagnie Barbier était néanmoins maintenue en réserve de ce côté.\n\nLes autres fractions de troupe qui entourent le village suivent le mouvement à la baïonnette. Un combat corps à corps a lieu dans le réduit; le capitaine Gignous est blessé d'un coup de sabre; le capitaine Kerdrain, de deux coups de sabre et de deux coups de lance.\n\nLes débris de la garnison se font tuer à leur poste de combat.\n\nLa garnison de Kep et de son réduit était forte d'environ deux bataillons. Les cadavres de plus de 600 Chinois sont restés dans le village ou dans le réduit, formant des amoncellements aux points de passage.\n\nTous les bagages de l'ennemi, ses approvisionnements, ses chevaux et ses mulets sont entre nos mains, ainsi qu'une grande quantité de munitions, de fusils Mauser modèle 1871 et Winchester, grand modèle.\n\nLe combat commençait donc pour les Chinois par une surprise; leurs clairons sonnaient de tous côtés et une violente fusillade s'engageait immédiatement entre les deux compagnies d'avant-garde (capitaines Planté et Venturini) et les défenseurs du village dont l'intérieur était fortement organisé. Une position pour l'artillerie est reconnue par le général, à gauche de la route, et la section d'artillerie avant-garde y est immédiatement amenée. Pendant ce temps, le gros de la colonne se formait au sud de Kep en ordre préparatoire au combat sur deux lignes à intervalles serrés. Le feu avait commencé à dix heures et était immédiatement devenu très intense. Les troupes chinoises paraissaient être nombreuses. Elles occupaient dans le fond une ligne de hauteurs; la gauche s'appuyait à la route de Chine qui était défendue par une pagode fortifiée avec parapet et prolongée par une lisière de bois organisée défensivement. La droite s'appuyait au village de Cham situé un peu en avant de la ligne principale.\n\nLe village de Kep et son réduit central formaient donc un vaste fort placé en avant de la ligne ennemie qui le flanquait des deux côtés.\n\nPendant toute la nuit et une partie de la matinée du 9, les troupes, en fouillant les localités, ont tué des Chinois blottis dans les rizières ou dans les fourrés.\n\nToute l'artillerie fut réunie en un seul groupe sur un mamelon qui domine Kep à courte distance.\n\nLe tir de la batterie de Saxcé fut alors dirigé sur la Pagode pour protéger la marche de l'infanterie.\n\nLa compagnie Mailhatte et la compagnie Pé-Coul, tirées du gros, passent le long de Kep et se portent avec la plus grande résolution, sans tirer, sur la redoute de la Pagode, qui est enlevée du premier coup. Tous ses défenseurs sont tués sur place sans pouvoir faire feu. De là, les compagnies se jettent sur le fort du Nord, par la gauche, et s'y installent.\n\nEn même temps, deux compagnies du 23e (capitaines Gignous et Gaillon), prises dans la première ligne du gros, reçurent l'ordre de contourner Kep par l'est pour l'envelopper et le prendre à revers. Le capitaine Fortoul servit de guide au commandant Godard, commandant le bataillon du 23e, chargé de cette attaque.\n\nCette troupe dut traverser des fourrés difficiles et des mamelons enchevêtrés couverts d'herbes épaisses et de hauteur d'homme, marche des plus pénibles sous un soleil de feu.\n\nLe village de Kep n'était enveloppé qu'à onze heures et demie, et dans cette situation aucun de ses défenseurs n'en pouvait plus sortir sans tomber sous le feu à bout portant des troupes d'attaque; mais l'ennemi avait employé ce temps à profit.\n\nÀ onze heures, il dessinait une attaque enveloppante...\n\nLe principal point d'appui des Chinois était enlevé; nous tenions la route de Chine et leur communication par Cham. Dès lors, la déroute commençait. Des bandes désorganisées s'enfuyaient vers le Song-Thuong, auquel l'armée chinoise était adossée le matin.\n\nUn régiment de cavalerie les aurait jetés dans le fleuve; mais, à cause de la chaleur excessive, elles ne purent être poursuivies que par des feux.\n\nIl était une heure, l'ennemi avait disparu de tous les côtés.\n\nIl ne restait au centre du terrain de l'action que le village de Kep qui se défendait avec acharnement.\n\nLes cartouches de Mauser sont de 1881. Dans les prises, où des objets appartenant aux officiers de la colonne Dagenne ont été retrouvés, figurent des approvisionnements de tentes et d'effets de toutes sortes qui donnent lieu de croire que ces forces sont un corps d'avant-garde formé par des hommes résolus destinés à préparer l'invasion du delta.\n\nLes pertes de l'ennemi doivent être de 1,000 hommes, et ce qui reste de cette avant-garde est débandé et a traversé le Song-Thuong, comme l'a constaté la poursuite faite, dans la journée du 9, par le commandant Godard et une section de 80mm de montagne.\n\nÀ la prise de Kep, les troupes, remarquablement conduites par leurs officiers, ont fait preuve d'un entrain, d'une vigueur et d'une décision dignes d'éloge.\n\n## AVIS & COMMUNICATIONS\n\n### Ministère des affaires étrangères\n\n#### CONCOURS D'ADMISSION\n\nUn concours sera ouvert, le lundi 19 janvier 1885, au ministère des affaires étrangères pour l'admission dans les carrières diplomatique et consulaire.\n\nLe nombre des places d'attachés mises au concours est fixé à six (6).\n\n## DOMESTIC\n\n| Office or Individual | Date | Last previous Paper | Put By | No. |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | 1884 | 70 |  | 214 89 |\n|  | 17 Dec |  |  | 21726 |\n|  |  | 369 |  |  |\n\n| CO. | RECO | AREGO | 19 DEC 34 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 21 726 |  |  | Chinese Plot (Subject.) for the Destruction of French Steamers |\n\nCopy despatch from Peking 9 (Minutes.)\n\nMr Meade Put By i.P.L.

Un commis Européen de tre Marty, nommé Zimmermann, dont la police rend le témoignage, était présent dans les officins, ayant constaté, d'après la balance, et si un chinois a été blessé à la main, c'est par le crochet de la balance. Les coolies avaient apporté une grande proportion de charbon en poudre dans les soutes du Dugung-Trouin. On notifia au délégué de la Marty qu'ils refuseraient toute la livraison à moins que leurs hommes ne fussent autorisés à continuer eux-mêmes le travail et à choisir dans le chaland le charbon (en poches), conforme aux clauses du contrat, quand cette condition eût été acceptée par Zimmermann, des matelots français sont descendus dans le chaland; les coolies ont alors fait mine de s'opposer au travail; une rixe paraît avoir eu lieu autour de la balance.\n\nIl est à noter que le Druguay-Trouin n'était pas une jonque manœuvrée par un équipage sous les ordres d'un patron, mais bien une coque déclassée, d'origine Européenne, montée par une escouade de matelots.\n\nOn était persuadé, à bord du navire français, que le chaland et les coolies étaient sans réserve à la disposition de Mr Averly, dont le délégué, l'unique Européen présent à l'opération, avait été dûment consulté.

My Lord,**\n\nViscount Lyons to Earl Granville.-(Received January 15.)\n\nParis, January 14, 1885.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit to your Lordship, extracted from the \"Journal Officiel\" of this day, a telegram received by the Minister of Marine and Colonies from the Governor of Cochin China, which states that the news from Cambodia is excellent, that Phnum-Penh and its neighbourhood are tranquil, and that the symptoms of agitation have almost everywhere disappeared.\n\nI inclose also an account, taken from the unofficial newspaper the \"Temps,\" of an attack made upon a post of Annamite troops in the French service, at Sambor, a place on the River Meikong. It is, no doubt, this affair which has occasioned the dispatch of the telegram by the Governor of Cochin China.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) **LYONS**\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\nExtract from the \"Journal Officiel\" of January 14, 1885.\n\nLE Ministre de la Marine et des Colonies a reçu du Gouverneur de la Cochinchine le télégramme suivant :-\n\nSaigon, le 13 Janvier, 1885.\n\n'Depuis deux jours, les nouvelles du Cambodge sont excellentes, Phnum-Penh et ses environs tranquilles. Aucune bande n'est signalée dans l'intérieur du royaume, les symptômes d'agitation ont disparu presque partout.\"\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\nExtract from the \"Temps\" of January 14, 1885.\n\nCHINE ET INDO-CHINE,--ATTAQUE D'UN POSTE FRANÇAIS AU CAMBODGE.-C'est à Sambor, sur le grand fleuve, près de la frontière du Laos Siamois qu'ont éclaté les désordres que nous avons annoncés hier en dernière heure. Sambor est un marché très important, chef-lieu d'un des arrondissements de la Province de Kratié, à 50 lieues à vol d'oiseau dans le nord-est de Phnum-Penh, la capitale du royaume. Nous avions en ce point un poste de vingt-cinq tirailleurs Annamites, et l'on rapporte que l'officier qui le commandait et quelques hommes ont été tués après une vigoureuse résistance.\n\nOn peut se demander à quelles causes générales il faut attribuer ce mouvement à la frontière Siamoise. Il en est une toute locale. Sambor est à la limite de la navigation et le fleuve dans ces parages était jusqu'en ces derniers temps infesté de pirates qui trouvaient souvent parmi les Mandarins Cambodgiens des protecteurs intéressés.\n\nLes barques n'osaient plus s'aventurer sur le Mékong et le commerce avec le Laos menaçait de disparaître, faute de sécurité, quand le Conseil Colonial de la Cochinchine décida la création d'un service par steamer afin de desservir les escales Cambodgiennes. La piraterie a reçu ainsi un coup mortel: les populations paisibles se sont remises à la culture; les richesses du Laos descendirent aux entrepôts de Saigon sans payer leur tribut aux pirates et aux Mandarins. Mais cela faisait encore moins les affaires des pirates que celles des Mandarins, et cette révolution économique a dû contribuer à grouper autour de Siwotha, le frère du Roi, le promoteur de tous les mouvements contre l'autorité de Norodom, une grande partie des écumeurs de ...\n\nPage 197\nPage 29\n[811] B-1",

Ils ne pouvaient plus pirater sur le fleuve; ils ont trouvé une occasion de faire à terre, mais, pour réussir, il fallait se débarrasser du poste Français: c'est ce qu'ils ont fait.\n\nD'autre part, ne peut-on admettre que le Traité du 17 Juin, en modifiant aussi profondément la Constitution du Cambodge et son état social, en enlevant le pouvoir aux Mandarins, car il les place sous l'autorité des résidents des provinces, n'a pas été étranger à ce mouvement, dont il ne faut pas exagérer l'importance. Dans ces solitudes du Haut Mékong, il est facile de dresser une embuscade ou de surprendre un poste isolé. Nous avons eu en Cochinchine plusieurs incidents de ce genre, et ils n'ont pu ébranler notre situation.\n\nNéanmoins, cela prouve qu'il faut user de précautions, augmenter le contingent d'occupation, exercer une surveillance rigoureuse. Surveillance difficile dans les parties nord du Cambodge qui confinent aux régions habitées par les sauvages Proons, Chiaré, et Khouys.\n\nRappelons que Siwotha a toujours été en révolte ouverte contre l'autorité de son frère, qu'il a fallu diriger contre lui plusieurs expéditions pour le repousser à la frontière et que l'an dernier un voyageur Français, M. Brueil, tombé entre les mains de sa bande, a été traitreusement assassiné. De concert avec le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, le Roi Norodom avait envoyé des soldats pour rétablir l'ordre dans la région où Siwotha avait fixé son quartier-général; mais le pays est tellement accidenté que la retraite des bandes est toujours facile.\n\nDisons en terminant que M.

Waddington to Earl Granville.--(Received January 29.) \n\nM. le Comte, \n\nLondres, le 29 Janvier, 1885. \nIL résulte de renseignements fournis au Gouvernement de la République par ses Consuls à Singapour et à Hong-Kong que des instructions viennent d'être adressées aux autorités coloniales Anglaises de ces deux ports, en vue de prescrire une application plus rigoureuse du **\"Foreign Enlistment Act.\"** D'après les notifications faites aux Agents Français, les vaisseaux de guerre de la République n'auront plus la faculté de se réparer dans les ports coloniaux de la Grande-Bretagne; ils ne pourront non plus y faire du charbon, sinon dans une limite extrêmement restreinte. \n\nCes résolutions, dont mon Gouvernement n'entend nullement discuter la légitimité, impliquent une modification importante dans l'attitude que les Ministres de la Reine avaient résolu d'observer provisoirement en l'état de notre conflit avec la Chine, et qui était indiquée avec précision dans la communication de votre Excellence du 26 Novembre dernier. \n\nIl y était dit que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique considérait qu'il existait entre la France et la Chine un état de guerre de facto et de jure. Toutefois, il voulait tenir compte de ce fait \"que le Gouvernement Français, en vue d'atténuer les conséquences de la guerre en ce qui concerne les vaisseaux neutres, déclarait qu'il ne se proposait pas d'exercer le droit de visite ou de capture sur les vaisseaux neutres en pleine mer, droit qui lui appartient afin de prévenir le transport de la contrebande de guerre à destination de la Chine.\" \n\nDans cet état de choses, le Gouvernement de la Grande-Bretagne, \"ne voulant pas aggraver la situation, déclarait,\" de son côté, \"que, tant que les hostilités seraient limitées à certaines localités et qu'on n'entraverait pas les vaisseaux neutres en pleine mer, il s'abstiendrait d'émettre une Proclamation de neutralité dans les formes ordinaires et d'exercer strictement les droits de neutralité vis-à-vis des navires des belligérants dans les ports Britanniques, et qu'il se bornerait à la mise en vigueur du **'Foreign Enlistment Act.'** \n\nIl s'était établi, à la suite de ces déclarations de votre Seigneurie, une sorte de modus vivendi, qui a été observé durant les derniers mois, et qui n'excluait pas la faculté pour les navires de guerre Français de se ravitailler dans les ports des mers des Indes et des mers de Chine. \n\nLes instructions qui viennent d'être envoyées aux autorités des possessions coloniales Anglaises, ont modifié profondément cet état de choses et donné au **'Foreign Enlistment Act'** une interprétation qui équivaut à une véritable déclaration de neutralité. \n\nLes bâtiments de nos escadres ne devant plus trouver dans les ports étrangers les facilités qu'ils y ont rencontrées jusqu'à présent, il n'y a plus de raison pour qu'ils s'abstiennent de soumettre les navires neutres à une exacte surveillance. La situation nouvelle qui leur est faite détermine mon Gouvernement à avancer l'heure qu'il aurait choisie pour revendiquer le plein et entier exercice des droits reconnus aux belligérants par la loi internationale. Des ordres en ce sens vont être adressés aux Commandants des escadres de la République et je suis chargé par M. Jules Ferry d'en faire part officiellement à votre Seigneurie. \n\nEn prenant cette résolution, mon Gouvernement entend d'ailleurs se conformer strictement aux règles de la Déclaration du Congrès de Paris du 16 Avril, 1856. \n\nLe parti auquel viennent de s'arrêter les Ministres de la République n'implique d'ailleurs aucun changement dans nos sentiments pour le Cabinet Anglais, dont nous nous plaisons à reconnaître la parfaite correction et les procédés bienveillants depuis le début de notre conflit avec la Chine. Pour bien marquer ces dispositions, des recommandations seront envoyées aux Commandants des forces navales Françaises afin qu'ils continuent à user de tous les égards et de tous les tempéraments conciliables avec les intérêts légitimes du commerce Britannique et la nécessité de prévenir l'importation en Chine de la contrebande de guerre. \n\nVeuillez, &c. \n(Signé) WADDINGTON.\n\n[858]",

D'après les notifications faites aux Agents Français, les vaisseaux de guerre de la République n'auront plus la faculté de se réparer dans les ports coloniaux de la Grande-Bretagne; ils ne pourront non plus y faire du charbon, sinon dans une limite extrêmement restreinte.\n\nCes résolutions, dont mon Gouvernement n'entend nullement discuter la légitimité, impliquent une modification importante dans l'attitude que les Ministres de la Reine avaient résolu d'observer provisoirement en l'état de notre conflit avec la Chine, et qui était indiquée avec précision dans la communication de votre Excellence du 26 Novembre dernier.\n\nIl y était dit que \"le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique considérait qu'il existait entre la France et la Chine un état de guerre de facto et de jure.\" Toutefois, il voulait tenir compte de ce fait que le Gouvernement Français, en vue d'atténuer les conséquences de la guerre en ce qui concerne les vaisseaux neutres, déclarait qu'il ne se proposait pas d'exercer le droit de visite ou de capture sur les vaisseaux neutres en pleine mer, droit qui lui appartient afin de prévenir le transport de la contrebande de guerre à destination de la Chine.\"\n\nDans cet état de choses, le Gouvernement de la Grande-Bretagne, \"ne voulant pas aggraver la situation, déclarait,\" de son côté, **que, tant que les hostilités seraient limitées à certaines localités et qu'on n'entraverait pas les vaisseaux neutres en pleine mer, il s'abstiendrait d'émettre une Proclamation de neutralité dans les formes ordinaires et d'exercer strictement les droits de neutralité vis-à-vis des navires des belligérants dans les ports Britanniques, et qu'il se bornerait à la mise en vigueur du \"Foreign Enlistment Act.” \n\nIl s'était établi, à la suite de ces déclarations de votre Seigneurie, une sorte de modus vivendi, qui a été observé durant les derniers mois, et qui n'excluait pas la faculté pour les navires de guerre Français de se ravitailler dans les ports des mers des Indes et des mers de Chine.\n\nLes instructions qui viennent d'être envoyées aux autorités des possessions coloniales Anglaises, ont modifié profondément cet état de choses et donné au \"Foreign Enlistment Act\" une interprétation qui équivaut à une véritable déclaration de neutralité.\n\nLes bâtiments de nos escadres ne devant plus trouver dans les ports étrangers les facilités qu'ils y ont rencontrées jusqu'à présent, il n'y a plus de raison pour qu'ils s'abstiennent de soumettre les navires neutres à une exacte surveillance. La situation nouvelle qui leur est faite détermine mon Gouvernement à avancer l'heure qu'il aurait choisie pour revendiquer le plein et entier exercice des droits reconnus aux belligérants par la loi internationale. Des ordres en ce sens vont être adressés aux Commandants des escadres de la République et je suis chargé par M. Jules Ferry d'en faire part officiellement à votre Seigneurie.\n\nEn prenant cette résolution, mon Gouvernement entend d'ailleurs se conformer strictement aux règles de la Déclaration du Congrès de Paris du 16 Avril, 1856.\n\nLe parti auquel viennent de s'arrêter les Ministres de la République n'implique d'ailleurs aucun changement dans nos sentiments pour le Cabinet Anglais, dont nous nous plaisons à reconnaître la parfaite correction et les procédés bienveillants depuis le début de notre conflit avec la Chine. Pour bien marquer ces dispositions, des recommandations seront envoyées aux Commandants des forces navales Françaises afin qu'ils continuent à user de tous les égards et de tous les tempéraments conciliables avec les intérêts légitimes du commerce Britannique et la nécessité de prévenir l'importation en Chine de la contrebande de guerre.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\n[858]\n\n(Signé) WADDINGTON.",

No 42\n\n### Partie Officielle\n\nalerie. – Par décis. minist. du 4 février 1885, M. du Pin de Saint-André, lieut. au 5 rég. de chass, est passé au 3′′ rég. de spahis.\n\n...\n\n### Discours de M. Félix Faure, sous-secrétaire d'État de la marine et des colonies\n\nMessieurs,\n\nEn même temps que nous donnions ainsi à tous les établissements français le droit de prendre part à la préparation des actes législatifs concernant les colonies, nous nous efforcions de développer les institutions qui doivent permettre à nos établissements d'administrer eux-mêmes leurs affaires intérieures. C'est ainsi que Vous êtes saisis en ce moment des projets d'organisation des conseils généraux de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon et que nous soumettons à l'étude d'une de vos sections le projet concernant la constitution et l'organisation du conseil général de nos établissements d'Océanie.\n\nDepuis qu'en 1759 un arrêt du conseil d'État du roi créait la représentation officielle des colonies près de l'administration métropolitaine, tous les gouvernements qui se sont succédé en France ont compris qu'il était indispensable de faire soutenir les intérêts coloniaux par les représentants autorisés de nos établissements d'outre-mer.\n\nLa création du conseil supérieur des colonies a eu pour objet de grouper autour de l'administration les hommes qui, à des titres différents, paraissent le plus aptes à l'éclairer dans la direction des affaires multiples et complexes qui constituent le service des colonies.\n\nIl ne m'appartient pas de faire ici l'exposé complet de vos travaux : cet exposé trouvera sa place dans le rapport, qu'aux termes du décret constitutif du conseil, vous devez présenter chaque année au ministre. Je vous proposerai, tout à l'heure, de confier la préparation à une commission de huit membres composée des présidents des quatre sections, auxquels chaque section adjoindra un de ses membres.\n\nMais, sans empiéter sur la tâche dévolue à cette commission, je crois utile, à l'ouverture de cette session, de passer rapidement en revue les faits saillants qui se sont produits pendant l'année 1884 et les principales mesures prises par l'administration dans le domaine qui lui est spécialement réservé.\n\nLe décret qui a constitué votre assemblée, messieurs, en conviant à vos travaux les délégués de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, de Mayotte, de Nossi-Bé et de Tahiti, complétait l'union permanente et absolue qui, dans notre pensée, doit exister entre la mère-patrie et les colonies.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, par quelle suite de circonstances, par quels événements diplomatiques et militaires nous avons été amenés en Extrême-Orient et en Afrique, au Tonkin et à Madagascar, à affirmer nos droits et à étendre notre domaine colonial. Les traités du 6 juin avec l'Annam, du 17 juin 1884 avec le Cambodge, qui sont soumis à la ratification du Parlement, auront pour résultat, tout en respectant dans la mesure qu'il convient l'autonomie des pays sur lesquels la France exerce son protectorat, d'assurer à notre pays une action prépondérante sur une des régions les plus fertiles et les plus riches en produits de toute nature de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nLa Cochinchine offre de prendre à sa charge l'organisation des contributions indirectes, dans l'Annam et dans le Tonkin, et le conseil colonial vient de voter un million de francs pour faire face aux premières dépenses nécessaires à la nouvelle organisation administrative du Cambodge.\n\nSur la côte occidentale d'Afrique, bien qu'avec moins d'éclat, l'action du pays a eu de nombreuses occasions de se manifester. La France établie au Sénégal et au Gabon a été une des premières puissances qui ait acquis des droits sur les côtes du continent noir, où toutes les nations de l'Europe semblent aujourd'hui se donner rendez-vous. Il a paru utile de consacrer officiellement et d'exercer effectivement sur de nombreux points les droits de souveraineté ou de protectorat que des traités déjà anciens nous avaient acquis.\n\nUn décret du 16 décembre 1883 a donné au commandant du Gabon, sous le titre de commandant supérieur des établissements du golfe de Guinée, la haute main sur tous les établissements français situés au sud du Sénégal. A Porto-Novo, l'agent commercial qui remplissait les fonctions de résident, a été remplacé par un officier supérieur d'infanterie de marine qui, joignant à sa qualité de commandant particulier de Kotonou celle de résident à Porto-Novo, a été chargé de maintenir les droits de la République sur cette région.\n\nVous savez que la conclusion adoptée par une imposante majorité a été d'inviter le Gouvernement à faire valoir les droits incontestés de la France. La corps expéditionnaire n'a pas failli à sa mission: nous occupons Tamatave, Majunga et le nord de l'île, depuis le brillant succès de Vohemar. Les compagnies de volontaires, organisées dès le début de l'expédition, avec un patriotique empressement, par la colonie de la Réunion, ont rivalisé d'ardeur avec les vaillantes troupes placées sous les ordres de l'amiral Miot. Dès aujourd'hui, il est permis d'affirmer que leurs efforts n'auront pas été stériles.\n\nParis, 11 Février 1885.\n\nLe Président de la République et M. Jules Grévy recevront, au Palais de l'Élysée, ce soir 12 février.\n\n### Partie Non Officielle",

Enfin, la ratification officielle de 72 traités passés avec différents chefs de la côte d'Ivoire, de la côte d'Or et des régions avoisinant le Gabon, a permis à notre diplomatie de se présenter à la conférence de Berlin, munie de titres réguliers.\n\nAu Sénégal, nous avons récolté ce qu'avaient préparé les glorieuses et pénibles campagnes des années précédentes. Les couleurs françaises flottent sur le Haut-Niger; nous y avons lancé une première canonnière, et cet événement a eu jusqu'au centre de l'Afrique un retentissement tel que la Djemma de Tombouctou n'a pas hésité à envoyer un ambassadeur au Sénégal pour porter à la colonie et à l'administration la parole de paix et d'amitié, et les assurer de son désir de nouer bientôt avec la France des relations permanentes.\n\nC'est dans cette voie que, d'accord avec leurs représentants, nous les encourageons à entrer. Il appartiendra à la métropole de faciliter cette transformation en abaissant, à l'entrée en France, les droits qui frappent les produits coloniaux.\n\nLa Guadeloupe, la Réunion et la Martinique, ont donné un gage des sentiments de solidarité qui les unissent à la métropole en votant, sur la demande du département, un tarif de douanes qui assure de sérieux avantages aux produits de l'industrie métropolitaine.\n\nPar une équitable réciprocité, elles sont en droit de demander un traitement de faveur pour leurs produits à l'entrée en France. Je n'épargnerai, en ce qui me concerne, aucun effort pour arriver à ce résultat désirable, et j'ai la satisfaction de constater que, sous la réserve de l'étude plus complète de cette détaxe, M. le ministre des finances n'est pas opposé au principe de ce projet.\n\n## Dans l'Inde\n\nLes mêmes considérations qui ont déterminé la création d'Obock ont amené le ministre à ordonner l'établissement à Pondichery et à Mahé de dépôts de charbon qui dispenseront nos navires de relâcher à Singapour. La présence de nos bâtiments dans ces ports y produira un mouvement des plus profitables aux intérêts de la métropole et de la colonie.\n\nJe n'aurais, en outre, dans nos établissements de l'Inde, qu'à signaler l'heureux apaisement amené par l'application, pour l'élection des conseils électifs, du décret du 26 février 1884, qui est votre œuvre, messieurs, si malheureusement les désastres causés par de terribles inondations n'étaient venus momentanément troubler l'essor de la colonie. Vous savez qu'une subvention de 300,000 fr. a été votée par la Chambre pour pourvoir aux premiers besoins; les derniers rapports reçus de Pondichéry me font craindre que ce ne soit un secours bien insuffisant et que le Gouvernement ne soit bientôt amené à faire un nouvel appel au Parlement.\n\n## Autres Colonies\n\nSur la côte orientale d'Afrique, nous citons la création d'un établissement nouveau auquel l'avenir réserve, je crois, une grande importance. Nos droits à Obock remontent à 1862, mais il n'y avait eu jusqu'à présent aucune prise de possession officielle. Les opérations militaires engagées dans l'Extrême-Orient doivent être appliquées à la conférence de Berlin.\n\nLe conseil colonial, après avis de la chambre de commerce de Saigon, a voté un projet de tarif douanier, préparé conformément à nos instructions, et qui, dans l'union douanière de la presqu'île indo-chinoise, constituée au Cambodge, à l'Annam et au Tonkin, assurera aux produits français une détaxe de 75 p.100 sur les droits qu'il comprend et qui varient de 10 à 15 p. 100 de la valeur des différents produits. J'espère être prochainement en mesure de soumettre cet important travail à votre examen.\n\nLe département ne néglige, du reste, aucun des moyens dont il peut disposer pour ouvrir au commerce national les débouchés que promettent les marchés de l'Indo-Chine.\n\nLa concession des mines de l'Annam et du Tonkin qui résultera de l'adjudication, et leur exploitation seront réglées dans le sens du travail d'une commission qui s'est entourée des renseignements qu'ont pu lui fournir, à Paris, tous les hommes compétents et qui complètera son étude d'après les rapports d'une mission que le département va prochainement envoyer sur les lieux.\n\n## Mesures Économiques\n\nDans un même ordre d'idées, le tarif de droits différentiels sur lequel vous avez été appelés à donner votre avis dans une précédente session a été promulgué par le décret du 27 août 1884. La Cochinchine, d'autre part, vient de transmettre au département un projet qui sera certainement favorablement accueilli par l'industrie métropolitaine.\n\nMais si, au point de vue administratif et politique, l'intervention du département n'a que de rares occasions de s'exercer à la Réunion, à la Martinique et à la Guadeloupe, la crise économique que traversent ces colonies est malheureusement une source d'incessantes préoccupations. Nous avons dû pourvoir aux nécessités du moment par des mesures concertées avec le département des finances. Je citerai le décret du 18 août, autorisant l'émission de bons de caisse à la Martinique et à la Guadeloupe; le décret du 6 décembre dernier autorisant la banque de la Réunion à porter son capital de trois à quatre millions.\n\nCette extension de notre influence pourra, dans un avenir prochain, faire d'Obock un port de transit sérieux. Derrière la côte qui constitue notre nouvelle possession s'étend, en effet, une vaste et fertile région encore peu explorée : le Choa. Le sol y est fertile et les richesses qu'il produit n'attendent pour fournir les éléments d'un trafic considérable que l'établissement de débouchés faciles et de voies de communication. Or, c'est à Tadjourah qu'aboutit le chemin suivi par les caravanes. Il est donc permis d'espérer que notre colonie d'Obock bénéficiera dans une large mesure du courant commercial que l'action civilisatrice des puissances européennes qui explorent cette partie de l'Afrique ne manquera pas d'établir entre le Choa et les ports de la mer Rouge.\n\nMais, nous ne nous faisons pas d'illusion sur la portée et l'efficacité de ces mesures: le véritable remède à la crise agricole et industrielle dont souffrent ces colonies sucrières, résultera d'une transformation partielle de leur production par le développement des cultures secondaires : les cafés, cacaos, vanilles, etc.\n\nD'autre part, sur la demande qui lui a été adressée par le département, la banque de l'Indo-Chine s'est préoccupée d'installer au Tonkin une succursale de son établissement de crédit, qui rendra les plus grands services aux négociants qui se sont installés à Haï-Phong et à Hanoi, et à ceux qui n'attendent que la pacification complète du pays pour s'y établir.\n\nUn service de renseignements, destiné à fournir aux immigrants toutes les indications qui peuvent leur être utiles pour faciliter leur installation, fonctionne à Haï-Phong, parallèlement au bureau d'informations commerciales, chargé de centraliser les renseignements recueillis par les résidents sur les productions, le commerce et l'industrie du pays, et de fournir au département tous les renseignements qui peuvent contribuer à faire exactement connaître le Tonkin.\n\n## Administration Coloniale\n\nSi, dans la voie que je viens d'indiquer, quelque pas en avant a été fait, une grande part de l'honneur en revient à vous, messieurs, qui n'avez cessé de prêter à l'administration le concours le plus empressé et le plus dévoué.\n\nJe profite de cette occasion pour souhaiter ici la bienvenue, comme vice-président du conseil, à notre collègue M. Berlet, appelé, par un décret récent du Président de la République, à remplacer dans cette fonction M. Rouvier, ministre du commerce. M. Berlet, par sa grande expérience des questions administratives et parlementaires, représente au bureau du conseil l'élément métropolitain; l'élément colonial est, vous le savez, messieurs, représenté par la plus haute, la plus vénérée personnalité des colonies françaises, notre cher doyen M. Victor Schoelcher, le plus jeune de nous par la chaleur du cœur et l'ardeur qu'il apporte à la défense de toutes les causes justes et généreuses.\n\nJ'ai trouvé au sein de l'administration des colonies des collaborateurs précieux. Je n'ai pas à faire ici l'éloge des chefs de service qui vous sont personnellement connus et qui sont devenus vos collègues; mais je serai l'interprète de leurs sentiments en même temps que des miens en rappelant le zèle, le labeur constant et modeste des fonctionnaires placés ici sous leurs ordres et des agents qui, aux divers degrés de la hiérarchie, représentent notre administration aux colonies.\n\n## Nouvelle-Calédonie\n\nEn Nouvelle-Calédonie, la reprise de l'immigration néo-hébridais a fourni à la colonie la main-d'œuvre qui lui est nécessaire pour le développement de ses exploitations industrielles et agricoles. Mais si ces opérations ont été de nouveau autorisées, ce n'est qu'à la condition que, par un contrôle sérieux de l'administration, elles ne perdent jamais le caractère de contrats librement consentis. Notre surveillance sur ce point ne sera pas mise en défaut, et la première infraction aux règles de l'humanité serait le signal d'une nouvelle et immédiate interdiction.\n\nJe ne terminerai pas cette revue rapide sans dire un mot d'une question qui, à Nouméa, nous a valu de vives récriminations: je veux parler du décret du 16 août 1884 portant délimitation du territoire pénitentiaire. Notre honorable collègue M. Moncalon ne m'en voudra pas de dire que les protestations que les colons ont adressées à ce sujet au département ont été empreintes d'une manifeste exagération.\n\nLa loi du 30 mai 1854, sur l'application de la peine des travaux forcés, a fait de la Nouvelle-Calédonie une colonie pénitentiaire; elle a prévu que des concessions de terres pourraient être accordées au bout d'un certain temps aux transportés; il était donc de toute nécessité, sous peine d'être amené dans un temps donné à ne plus appliquer la loi, de déterminer la réserve du domaine dont l'Etat peut disposer pour la transportation. Est-ce à dire qu'il soit question de dépouiller les colons libres, ou d'écarter de la colonie ceux qui voudraient s'y établir? Loin de nous cette pensée! et je puis affirmer hautement que dans l'application du décret du 16 août il sera tenu le plus grand compte des droits acquis par les colons, et que des terres considérables resteront disponibles pour ceux qui voudront les exploiter sérieusement.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, je n'oublie pas que, si les entreprises coloniales de la France ont été couronnées de succès, nous le devons avant tout aux héroïques efforts de nos marins et de nos soldats. J'ai pu, dans certaines parties de l'exposé que je viens de faire, heurter les opinions de quelques-uns d'entre vous; je suis certain à l'avance de réunir l'unanimité de vos approbations en vous proposant d'unir dans un même sentiment de patriotique reconnaissance tous ceux - obscurs ou glorieux - qui, soit au Tonkin, soit à Madagascar ou dans les mers de Chine, luttent au loin pour faire respecter le nom de la France et le drapeau national.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nEn résumé, messieurs, le programme dont, sous la haute et libérale direction de l'amiral Peyron, j'ai eu l'honneur de poursuivre la réalisation, peut se résumer comme suit :\n\nComme politique extérieure, conservation et exercice effectif des droits de la France;\n\nComme politique économique, protection des intérêts de la production métropolitaine dans les colonies; protection sur le marché métropolitain de la production coloniale.\n\nEnfin, notre administration s'est appuyée sur une double base: en France, appel aux conseils éclairés et à l'expérience pratique des représentants élus des colonies; aux colonies, création d'assemblées locales recrutées par le suffrage universel.\n\nM. Paul Brunat, chargé d'une mission commerciale au Tonkin, vient d'adresser au sous-secrétaire d'Etat de la marine et des colonies le rapport suivant, où il consigne le résultat sommaire de ses observations.\n\nL'initiative de la mission que je viens de remplir au Tonkin est due à la chambre de commerce de Lyon qui, au mois de mai dernier, me fit demander à Saigon, où je résidais, si j'étais disposé à l'entreprendre, et qui, sur ma réponse affirmative, proposa aux diverses autres chambres de commerce de France de se joindre à elle et de m'envoyer des questionnaires sur ce qui pouvait les intéresser.",

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nLa canne à sucre vient en abondance au Tonkin, mais elle est de qualité médiocre et produit un sucre de qualité inférieure. C'est une culture à améliorer.\n\nLe thé est d'une culture facile dans les plateaux intermédiaires entre la plaine et la montagne et y est très abondant. Il est de qualité inférieure et on en recueille les feuilles toute l'année. Il y aurait lieu de tenter l'amélioration de cette culture en important des plants de bonne nature et en ménageant la cueillette des feuilles.\n\nEnfin il y aurait des cultures à introduire, comme par exemple celle du café,\n\n## Dix-septième année. No 42\n\nIl me reste deux mots à dire de l'état des communications au Tonkin. Elles se font actuellement par eau. La navigation fluviale du Tonkin n'est pas aussi aisée qu'on l'a présentée d'abord, cependant elle offre de grandes facilités. Dans tout le Delta on peut naviguer avec des tirants d'eau variant de 1 m. 50 à 2 m. 50. Il y aura de-ci, de-là, quelques rectifications à opérer, quelques canaux à creuser, mais je ne crois pas qu'un chemin de fer dans le Delta soit nécessaire d'ici longtemps. Il serait du reste coûteux à établir dans un pays d'alluvion coupé de canaux. Pour les communications avec la Chine, la question est différente, et un chemin de fer allant de Hanoi au Yunnam sera sans doute nécessaire.\n\nAu point de vue de l'élevage, les pâturages sont excellents et faciles. Le pays produit des buffles, des bœufs et des chevaux, mais il y aurait lieu de s'occuper de ces deux derniers produits. On exporte, en outre, en abondance, en Chine, des porcs et des œufs de volaille. La chambre de commerce de Mazamet s'informait de la possibilité de l'élevage des moutons au Tonkin. Cet élevage ne me paraît pas possible, mais pourrait être utilement remplacé par celui de la chèvre qui y vit très bien et y est très féconde. On pourrait utiliser les peaux de chevreaux et les poils de chèvre.\n\nLes communications avec l'extérieur se font par le port d'Haiphong. C'est actuellement le seul port accessible et communiquant directement avec le système fluvial du Tonkin. Encore n'est-il accessible qu'aux hautes marées et pour les navires d'un tirant d'eau inférieur à six mètres. Il paraît suffisant pour les besoins actuels du commerce, mais lorsque le trafic se sera développé, il ne sera plus suffisant.\n\nPour ces diverses améliorations, l'établissement d'une ferme-école par les soins du Gouvernement serait, je crois, d'un effet salutaire.\n\nParmi les articles d'importation au Tonkin, il faut compter en première ligne les cotonnades qui valent à Hanoi de 0 fr. 40 à 1 fr. le mètre, et les cotons filés d'Europe (valant environ 3 fr. le kilog.) et de Bombay (2 fr. le kilog.).\n\nÀ cela vient s'ajouter quelques serviettes venant soit d'Angleterre, soit d'Allemagne, des couvertures en coton et parfois en laine venant d'Angleterre, de la mercerie anglaise, et enfin des couleurs d'aniline d'Allemagne et de Suisse et de l'horlogerie d'Amérique. Toutes ces importations viennent actuellement par la voie de Hong Kong.\n\nIl faudra, si notre industrie française veut prendre son rang dans l'importation au Tonkin, qu'elle lutte de bon marché avec l'industrie anglaise, allemande ou américaine.\n\nOn importa actuellement peu de tissus de laine, mais je crois que les mousselines de laine, que l'on fabrique beaucoup en France, sont appelées à jouer, comme au Japon, un certain rôle au Tonkin à mesure que le bien-être se développera dans la population.\n\nEn somme, le commerce d'importation comme celui d'exportation a peu d'importance actuellement au Tonkin, et on aurait une pauvre idée de l'avenir du pays sous ce rapport, si on consultait les statistiques actuelles des douanes. Cela tient à la pauvreté momentanée du pays, résultant de l'état de guerre et d'oppression dans lequel il s'est trouvé depuis de longues années. L'occupation française doit, à mon sens, inaugurer une ère de prospérité et de bien-être par la sécurité qu'elle assurera à la population indigène. Cette population, trop dense dans le Delta, manque de la sécurité nécessaire au travail, et pourtant elle est active et docile, et quand elle se sentira protégée et délivrée de la piraterie, il sera facile de l'amener peu à peu à cultiver les parties montagneuses qui, en dehors du Delta, sont presque en friche.\n\nDans l'étude que j'ai faite du Tonkin, je ne me suis pas occupé de la question minière qui a été déjà étudiée par des personnes compétentes.\n\nReste la question de nos relations avec les provinces méridionales de la Chine, relations qui doivent contribuer à la richesse du Tonkin par le commerce de transit. Ces provinces sont actuellement isolées du monde entier et exclues du commerce avec les nations européennes.\n\nElles sont riches pourtant et fort peuplées et c'est avec raison que l'on a compté sur leur appoint pour le développement de la prospérité de notre colonie future. Mais la Chine voit avec peine notre voisinage et elle nous le montre par la lutte acharnée qu'elle soutient contre nous.\n\nIl est mal abrité du reste, et il présente de grands inconvénients pour la construction de docks et de quais. Il a aussi le défaut de ne pouvoir recevoir notre flotte de guerre. Il ne faut pas songer à modifier sa barre, mais on a parlé d'utiliser le Cua-Nam-Trien, dont la barre donne 2 à 3 pieds de plus, et de faire communiquer par un canal intérieur le Cua-Nam-Trien avec la Cua-Cam ou même de transporter le port d'Haiphong à Quang-Yen. Ce serait une amélioration, mais insuffisante. On a parlé d'un port à la baie d'Along que l'on ferait communiquer avec l'intérieur par un chemin de fer. Outre que ce chemin de fer serait une complication, la baie d'Along n'est pas un port à proprement parler, mais un mouillage fort éloigné de la terre ferme.\n\nPour utiliser la baie d'Along, il faudrait :\n\n1. Ou s'en servir comme simple mouillage et la faire communiquer par un canal maritime soit à Haiphong, avec un port intérieur situé soit à Quang-Yen,\n2. Ou transformer la baie d'Along en un vrai port en faisant sauter à la dynamite une partie des rochers qui l'entourent, réalisant ainsi par la réunion d'un certain nombre d'îlots en terre-plein où l'on bâtirait une ville maritime avec des docks, magasins, etc. Il suffirait alors de faire communiquer ce port avec le système fluvial du Tonkin par un canal de faible dimension pour le passage des bateaux de rivière.\n\nEn résumé, j'ai confiance en l'avenir de notre colonie du Tonkin.

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nnotre protectorat sur le Cambodge, il était indispensable de rappeler succinctement l'historique de nos relations avec le royaume protégé.\n\nAu moment où nous commencions à prendre pied en Cochinchine, l'antique royaume des Khmers n'avait plus qu'une existence précaire et constamment menacée. Très puissant autrefois à l'époque où, sous le nom de Ciampa, il comprenait toute la Cochinchine française, l'Annam méridional jusqu'à Hué et le Cambodge augmenté de provinces aujourd'hui siamoises; riche et florissant dans ces temps reculés, témoins les admirables ruines des monuments d'Angkor; le royaume des Khmers semblait toucher, vers 1859, au dernier terme de la décadence. Pressé entre deux voisins plus puissants que lui, le Siam au nord et l'Annam au sud, foulé tour à tour par leurs armées, démembré, menacé d'absorption, il avait fini par reconnaître la double suzeraineté de Bangkok et de Hué. Le roi Ang-Duong, couronné en 1848 après une lutte acharnée dans laquelle les armées siamoises avaient soutenu sa cause, avait reçu l'investiture du monarque annamite et du monarque siamois.\n\nAng-Duong, en vue de se soustraire à la double sujétion qui pesait sur lui, eut un instant la pensée de faire appel à la protection de la France. Cette velléité n'eut pas de suites immédiates, les intrigues et les menaces de la cour de Siam ayant empêché le roi Ang-Duong de recevoir M. de Martigny, ministre plénipotentiaire, envoyé à Campot en 1855, par le gouvernement français, afin de répondre aux ouvertures faites auprès de notre consul à Bangkok par un mandarin cambodgien émissaire du roi.\n\nAng-Duong mourut à Oudong en 1860. Les troupes françaises occupaient déjà Saïgon. L'Annam, absorbé par son conflit contre nous, n'intervint pas au Cambodge, en cette circonstance. L'influence de Siam y fut dès lors exclusive et prépondérante. Le fils aîné du défunt roi Ang-Duong, Prea-ang-Vodey, qui adopta plus tard le nom de Norodom, reçut l'investiture siamoise et régna d'abord sans opposition sous la tutelle de la cour de Bangkok.\n\nNo 3482\n\nLe jeune roi, il n'avait que vingt-quatre ans, et était obbareach (second roi) depuis trois ans, après avoir été bonze à Siam durant quelques mois, ne tarda pas néanmoins à voir son autorité sérieusement ébranlée. Il avait deux frères. Le premier, Si-Savat, (l'obbareach actuel) était gardé à peu près comme otage à la cour de Bangkok; mais le second, Si-Votha, dévoré d'ambition, soutenu par des mandarins influents, ne tarda pas à se poser en compétiteur au trône de Norodom.\n\nUne rivalité de harem précipita la guerre entre les deux frères (1). Les partisans les plus zélés de Si-Votha, Snang-Sor et Juthéa, surnommé plus tard Rama, à la suite de ses exploits militaires, alliés l'un et l'autre de la famille royale, soulevèrent les provinces au commencement de 1861. Norodom, après des péripéties diverses, fut forcé de s'enfuir d'Oudong, alors capitale du Cambodge, et d'aller se réfugier à Siam.\n\nSa restauration ne s'effectua qu'en mars 1862, grâce au concours intéressé des Siamois et à quelques secours donnés par le gouverneur français de la Cochinchine. L'insurrection toutefois ne fut complètement étouffée qu'à la fin de cette même année 1862, après la mort de Rama et la capture de Snang-Sor. Quant au prétendant, Si-Votha, il avait réussi à se mettre en sûreté.\n\nC'est vers cette époque que M. l'amiral Bonnard, gouverneur de la Cochinchine, remonta, pour la première fois, le Mékong, à bord d'une canonnière et se mit en relations avec le jeune monarque restauré. Un court séjour à la cour d'Oudong suffit pour permettre à l'amiral de se convaincre que le général siamois, représentant de la cour de Bangkok, auprès de Norodom, était le véritable roi du Cambodge.\n\nDevenus limitrophes de ce royaume depuis notre établissement à Saigon, et substitués par le fait de la conquête aux anciens droits de co-suzeraineté de l'Annam sur le Cambodge,\n\n(1) Voir Moura, Le royaume de Cambodge.\n\n121",

        "content_text": "# \nnous ne pouvions nous désintéresser de ce qui se passait à Oudong. L'absorption du Cambodge par le Siam était manifestement contraire à nos intérêts. Et cette absorption était si près de devenir un fait accompli que le gouvernement siamois avait pu faire saisir sur le territoire cambodgien, pour le ramener de force à Bangkok, le frère du roi, Si-Savat-Prea-Kéu-Féa, qui n'avait nullement trempé dans la révolte de Votha.\n\nNorodom, éclairé peu à peu sur la puissance de la France devenue sa voisine, commença à comprendre de quel secours efficace lui serait notre amitié pour lui assurer, en même temps que l'existence de son royaume, une autorité personnelle effective dont il n'avait pas encore joui. Les Siamois l'avaient remis sur son trône; mais leur tutelle équivalait à la sujétion. La peur seule d'être dépossédé par son frère rebelle le liait à eux. Ils savaient bien d'ailleurs qu'ils ne manqueraient pas de lui faire payer leurs services, comme ils l'avaient fait à son père, Ang-Duong, de quelque nouveau démembrement de ses États.\n\nDe là, la tendance très naturelle chez Norodom à tourner ses regards vers Saïgon afin d'y chercher protection.\n\nL'amiral de la Grandière, successeur de l'amiral Bonnard au gouvernement de la Cochinchine, mis au courant des dispositions de Norodom, se rendit à Oudong en juillet 1863 et négocia avec le roi le traité de protectorat du 11 août de cette même année.\n\nIl est indispensable de s'arrêter un instant sur les dispositions de cet instrument diplomatique qui est encore aujourd'hui la charte fondamentale de nos droits sur le Cambodge. Nous en reproduisons le texte aux annexes de ce rapport.\n\nLe préambule consacre la reconnaissance de la dévolution à la France du droit de suzeraineté sur le Cambodge antérieurement exercé par le roi d'Annam, en sa qualité de souverain de la Basse-Cochinchine. Il y est, en effet, formellement stipulé que « l'empereur des Français consent à transformer ses droits de suzeraineté sur le royaume du Cambodge en un protectorat. »\n\n## \nN° 3482\n\nL'article premier porte que S. M. l'empereur des Français accorde sa protection à S. M. le roi du Cambodge; l'article 2 investit le Gouvernement français de la faculté d'établir auprès du roi du Cambodge un résident, chargé de veiller, sous la haute autorité du Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, à la stricte exécution des lettres de protectorat; l'article 4 interdit l'admission au Cambodge de consuls des puissances étrangères « sans que le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine en ait été informé et se soit entendu à cet égard avec le Gouvernement cambodgien »; l'article 16, enfin, impose à la France l'obligation de « maintenir l'ordre et la tranquillité dans les États du roi du Cambodge et de le protéger contre toute attaque extérieure ». Ce sont là les dispositions d'ordre politique du traité.\n\nAu point de vue économique, l'article 5 du traité stipulait pour les sujets français la faculté de circuler, de posséder et de s'établir librement dans le royaume; l'art. 10 portait franchise de tous droits pour les marchandises importées ou exportées par navires français; l'art. 7 conférait aux sujets français, au Cambodge, le privilège de ne ressortir que du Résident de France en matière civile et commerciale et des tribunaux de Saïgon en matière criminelle; il ébauchait, en outre, un système d'arbitrage pour le cas de différends entre Français et Cambodgiens.\n\nD'autres articles moins importants étaient relatifs à la répression de la piraterie, à la liberté du culte catholique, à la concession d'un terrain pour dépôts de charbons, à l'exploitation des forêts, etc.\n\nCe qui frappe, tout d'abord, dans les dispositions de ce traité, c'est que, si nos droits de puissance protectrice y sont affirmés et reconnus, ils n'y sont définis que d'une façon insuffisante et vague. Nos obligations envers le Cambodge y sont, au contraire, très formellement stipulées. Nous garantissons le royaume contre toute attaque extérieure, et nous \n\n## \n122",

Nous avons eu les charges du protectorat sans compensation appréciable.\n\nNorodom, d'ailleurs, avait à peine signé la convention du 11 août 1863 avec l'amiral de la Grandière, qu'il entrait en négociation secrète avec la cour de Bangkok, et se liait, à son égard, par un traité de vassalité.\n\nÀ quels mobiles obéissait le roi du Cambodge? Il ne serait pas difficile de le démêler; mais il nous suffit de constater qu'il se rendait parfaitement compte du caractère et de la portée de sa démarche, puisqu'il l'accomplit dans le plus grand mystère. Il ne se serait pas efforcé de celer l'existence de ces engagements avec Siam, s'il n'avait pas clairement compris qu'ils étaient la violation formelle des devoirs qu'il venait de contracter envers la France.\n\nUne indiscrétion commise à la cour de Bangkok révéla, un an plus tard, l'existence de ce traité. Un journaliste anglais publia le texte de la convention secrète. Le Gouvernement français, toujours débonnaire, se borna à exiger que la cour de Bangkok la tînt pour nulle et non-avenue et il ne garda pas la moindre rancune à Norodom de sa dissimulation.\n\nLe jour de son couronnement solennel, le 3 juin 1864, à Oudong, le représentant de la France, M. le capitaine de frégate Desmoulins, chef d'état-major de l'amiral de la Grandière, lui tint, en effet, ce langage : « Sire, placez avec confiance cette couronne sur votre tête, elle sera solide si vous êtes toujours fidèle à la France ». Ce n'était pas une vaine parole. Les événements ne tardèrent pas à le montrer.\n\n7 \n\nN° 3482\n\nDepuis 1864, en effet, jusqu'à l'heure actuelle, Norodom ne s'est maintenu sur le trône chancelant du Cambodge que par notre appui, par notre force, par le concours de nos soldats.\n\nSans nous, le royaume du Cambodge entier aurait subi le sort des provinces du nord annexées par Siam; sans nous, le roi Norodom aurait été dix fois détrôné par la rébellion de ses propres sujets.\n\nNous verrons plus tard ce que le monarque cambodgien a fait en reconnaissance de ce persévérant appui de la France, mais il est bon de rappeler succinctement auparavant les principaux épisodes de notre intervention protectrice.\n\nDès le mois de septembre 1864, une vive fermentation se produisait dans le sud-ouest du Cambodge. Les populations de ces provinces n'avaient pas participé à la grande insurrection en faveur du prince Votha; elles n'en avaient pas moins été pressurées et accablées d'exactions par les mandarins de Norodom. Un aventurier, nommé Assoa, qui se faisait passer pour un prince de la famille royale, s'établit dans ces régions et en fit un foyer d'agitations. Un autre prétendant, se disant aussi membre de la famille royale, Pucombo, se créa de son côté des partisans dans les provinces orientales du royaume.\n\nL'autorité royale étant impuissante contre ces agitations, nous dûmes intervenir. L'administrateur français de la province cochinchinoise de Tayninh fut tué, le 7 juin 1866, par les Cambodgiens ralliés autour de Pucombo. Quelques jours plus tard, une petite colonne française assaillie par les rebelles au milieu des marécages, avait son chef tué avec un certain nombre de soldats.\n\nL'insurrection se généralisa dans les provinces cambodgiennes, à l'est du Mékong, et il nous fallut les reconquérir pour le compte de Norodom. Toute la fin de l'année 1866 fut remplie de combats livrés par nos troupes contre les rebelles. Pucombo, resté seul à la tête de l'insurrection après la capture d'Assoa, battit les troupes royales cambodgiennes, me-",

Nous dûmes encore intervenir. Nos canonnières remontèrent le fleuve pour prêter leur appui aux mandarins royaux qui tenaient la campagne contre les rebelles. Ce furent encore nos troupes de Cochinchine qui, en février 1877, mirent les rebelles en déroute dans la province de Baphnom, devenue le principal foyer de la rébellion.\n\nLe prince Votha forcé de se réfugier au Laos n'a cependant pas cessé de menacer la tranquillité du Cambodge; ses partisans y font de temps en temps des incursions, et c'est une de ses bandes qui attaquait naguère notre poste de Sambor.\n\nLes faits donc justifient amplement l'appréciation émise aux premières pages de son beau livre sur le royaume de Cambodge par M. Moura, notre ancien résident à Phnom Penh, l'homme de France qui connaît le mieux le Cambodge, à savoir que « sans l'intervention politique de la France dans ces contrées, cet intéressant petit Etat n'existerait plus à cette heure. »\n\nQu'a fait le roi Norodom en reconnaissance de cet appui? Qu'avons-nous obtenu de lui tant au point de vue des intérêts français que de notre action civilisatrice en Indo-Chine?\n\nIl convient, pour répondre nettement à ces questions, de résumer d'abord quelques notions précises sur le royaume protégé, sur sa population, ses ressources, son état social et son Gouvernement.\n\nLa superficie actuelle du Cambodge est à peu près le cinquième de celle de la France. Le pays s'étend sur les deux rives du grand fleuve Mékong, au nord de notre colonie de Cochinchine. Il touche à la mer dans le golfe de Siam et confine à l'est aux montagnes et aux forêts désertes de l'Annam. Le Cambodge est borné au nord par le royaume de Siam et des principautés laotiennes plus ou moins vassales de Bangkok. La ligne de démarcation entre Siam et le Cambodge a été arrêtée par la Convention conclue à Bangkok en 1867 entre le Gouvernement français et le Gouvernement siamois.\n\nNous en reproduisons le texte aux annexes.\n\nCe traité laissait au royaume de Siam les provinces cambodgiennes de Battambang et d'Angkor annexées de fait depuis de longues années. Le royaume de Siam renonçait par compensation à toute prétention à la suzeraineté sur le Cambodge, et il reconnaissait notre protectorat sur cet Etat. Le Gouvernement français s'engageait, de son côté, à ne pas incorporer le Cambodge à ses possessions de Cochinchine. Cet acte diplomatique est encore à présent en vigueur.\n\nLa grande artère de l'Indo-Chine orientale, le fleuve Mékong est malheureusement barré à la sortie du Laos par les cataractes de Khong, puis à l'entrée du Cambodge par les rapides de Sambor qui interrompent la navigation.\n\nDe Sambor jusqu'à la mer, sur un parcours de près de cinq cents kilomètres, le Mékong, accessible aux gros bateaux, roule un volume d'eau prodigieux. Sa largeur, entre Sambor et la mer... \n\n## Page 3 \n## Page 124",

A Phnom-Penh, le Mékong se partage en plusieurs bras. Il y a là le plus bizarre carrefour de rivières. L'un de ces bras du Mékong tourne brusquement au nord et va remplir à une centaine de kilomètres de distance le colossal réservoir naturel du Tonlé-Sap, immense lac temporaire, long, à l'époque des hautes eaux, de 130 kilomètres, sur une largeur moyenne de 25, avec une profondeur de 12 à 14 mètres d'eau. Les autres bras du Mékong se dirigent en éventail vers le sud, à travers notre Cochinchine, dont le delta, sillonné dans toutes les directions de bras de fleuves, de canaux et d'arroyos, présente un magnifique réseau de navigation intérieure. Nous avons dit qu'à l'époque des crues, le courant du Mékong allait remplir le grand lac Tonlé-Sap. Le phénomène inverse se produit à la saison sèche. Le courant s'établit du lac au fleuve, le lac se vide au point de n'avoir plus qu'un mètre de profondeur, et de n'occuper que le sixième de la superficie couverte au temps des hautes eaux. Ce va-et-vient du courant du Mékong vers le Tonlé-Sap contribue à faire de ce bassin l'un des plus poissonneux du globe.\n\nLes pêcheries y occupent près de trente mille individus, et le poisson du lac, séché et salé, s'exporte sur tous les marchés de l'Extrême-Orient. L'extrémité nord du Tonlé-Sap baigne les provinces devenues siamoises de Battambang et d'Angkor. Cette partie du lac a été neutralisée par une convention avec Siam. Nous en reproduisons le texte aux annexes. Les vapeurs des messageries fluviales de Saigon desservent régulièrement depuis quelque temps Phnom-Penh et toute la région du lac jusqu'à Battambang.\n\n## \nLa population du Cambodge est évaluée par M. Bouinais, ancien chef de cabinet du gouverneur de la Cochinchine, à un million et demi d'habitants. M. Moura, l'ancien résident de France à Phnom-Penh, l'estimait à un total notablement inférieur.\n\nIndépendamment des Cambodgiens proprement dits, on rencontre au Cambodge des Chinois immigrés en assez grand nombre, plus de cent mille, des Annamites, sujets français plus nombreux encore, des Malais, etc.\n\n«Le Cambodgien, a écrit le docteur Thorel, l'un des explorateurs du Mékong, est plus grand et surtout plus robuste que l'Annamite; c'est le plus vigoureux des Indo-Chinois.» Malheureusement sa paresse, son insouciance, son dédain pour l'instruction annihilent cet avantage physique. Tous les observateurs qui ont écrit sur le Cambodge s'accordent à dire que le Cambodgien succombe, dans la lutte pour l'existence, non seulement devant le Chinois, mais surtout devant l'Annamite. Celui-ci, plus laborieux, plus actif, plus intelligent et plus économe, s'infiltre peu à peu dans le royaume, défriche des terres, exerce des métiers, et tend à se substituer, à la longue, à la race indigène.\n\nLa principale céréale du Cambodge est le riz. Les terres arrosées par le Mékong le produisent avec abondance, sans grand travail. Cette fécondité du sol contribue à entretenir l'indolence des Cambodgiens. On y cultive aussi avec succès la canne à sucre, le poivrier, dans la province de Compot, sur le golfe de Siam; parmi les plantes textiles, la ramie et le coton, qui est, après le riz, la plus importante culture du Cambodge; on élève avec succès les vers à soie; l'indigotier y réussit très bien; de même le tabac, le poivrier-bétel, le cardamone. Les forêts sont nombreuses et renferment des essences précieuses, notamment diverses variétés de bois de teck. Il y a des pâturages et du bétail en abondance. Tous les bœufs consommés en Cochinchine proviennent du Cambodge. Les renseignements fournis par MM. Aymonnier, le docteur Thorel, M. Moura, M. Bouinais, ne laissent aucun doute sur l'étendue des richesses naturelles du pays.\n\nLa population indigène n'en tire toutefois qu'un fort médiocre parti. L'apathie naturelle de la race, les vices de son organisation sociale et le mauvais gouvernement concourent à ce résultat.\n\n- 11 - \nN° 3482",

Doudart de Lagrée, le chef de la célèbre exploration du Mékong et du Yunnam, écrivait en 1865 dans un rapport adressé au contre-amiral Roze: « Il n'existe pas de classe moyenne au Cambodge. Il n'y a que des mandarins ne travaillant pas, et une population misérable et exploitée à outrance. Tout le commerce est aux étrangers, Chinois, Malais, Annamites. N'ayant plus aucune garantie dans les lois du pays et complètement appauvri par les exactions, le peuple est incapable d'offrir la moindre résistance aux révoltes armées. La classe des mandarins, deux ou trois fois plus nombreuse qu'il ne faudrait, ne peut être satisfaite qu'en partie par le roi. Il a beau diviser de plus en plus l'autorité, augmenter ses fonctionnaires dans les provinces, le nombre des mécontents est toujours considérable... Le pays est sans force et incapable de se soutenir sans un appui étranger. »\n\nLe gouvernement, au Cambodge, est, selon l'expression de M. Moura, « absolu et despotique pur sang ». Le roi a droit de vie et de mort sur ses sujets, il les taxe, à son gré, sans mesure ni contrôle; il est censé le propriétaire exclusif du sol dont les particuliers n'ont jamais qu'une jouissance précaire, aux conditions dictées par la volonté royale. Une situation particulière est faite toutefois à trois personnes de la famille royale: l'Objaréach, le roi qui a abdiqué; l'Obbareach, second roi; et la reine-mère. Ils portent la couronne, le titre royal, et reçoivent des provinces en apanage. Par un abus singulier, le caprice royal a conféré parfois ces dignités, par exemple celle d'Objaréach, ou roi qui a abdiqué, à des princes qui n'avaient jamais régné. La dignité d'Objaréach est actuellement vacante au Cambodge.\n\nL'ordre de succession au trône ne ressemble en rien à celui qui est suivi dans les monarchies d'Europe ou d'Orient. Tous les princes et, à défaut, les princesses de la famille royale peuvent aspirer à la couronne. A la mort du roi, l'héritier est désigné parmi eux par le conseil des cinq plus hauts mandarins du royaume.\n\n## \nLa cour du Cambodge a conservé les plus extravagantes traditions du faste asiatique.\n\nLe palais royal renferme tout un peuple de serviteurs. Le roi a onze épouses légitimes et un nombre illimité de concubines. Il entretient, indépendamment de celles-ci, plusieurs centaines de danseuses et de chanteuses. Trois cents pages font le service intérieur du palais. Le nombre des gardes, des esclaves mâles et femelles est extrêmement considérable. Les princes et princesses de la famille royale et les fils du roi âgés de plus de treize ans vivent hors de l'enceinte du palais. Le roi leur fait une pension en général fort maigre, mais ils s'entourent d'un nombre considérable de clients volontaires, d'esclaves et de corvéables dont le travail les fait vivre.\n\nLe roi est entouré d'un conseil de cinq grands mandarins ou ministres, sous la direction desquels une foule de mandarins d'ordre inférieur administre ou plutôt rançonne les provinces. Presque tous, écrit M. Moura, vivent d'exactions ou de cadeaux plus ou moins volontaires.\n\nL'esclavage et le servage avec toutes leurs conséquences iniques et dégradantes, ont été jusqu'ici les fondements de la société cambodgienne.\n\nRien ne rappelle, en ce pays, le régime quasi-démocratique de la commune annamite que nous avons trouvé en Cochinchine et au Tonkin.\n\nLes sujets cambodgiens censés hommes libres, les inscrils, paient un impôt de capitation, la location des terres que le roi veut bien leur permettre de cultiver, un impôt spécial sur le riz, et ils sont astreints à quatre-vingt-dix jours de corvée par an. Les produits du sol acquittent en outre une taxe d'un dixième de la valeur perçue aux douanes intérieures. Le gouvernement dispose encore de divers monopoles, tels que celui de l'opium et de l'eau-de-vie, et il perçoit des droits importants sur les pêcheries. Les quatre-\n\nN° 3482 \n## \n12 \n13 \n126",

Le quart des journées de corvée est à la disposition du mandarin choisi pour patron par le corvéable, le reste à celle du roi.\n\nQuant à la justice, on aura une idée de la façon dont elle est rendue aux malheureux inscrits par la citation de ce seul article du code cambodgien : « Dans les condamnations pécuniaires, un tiers de l'amende prononcée revient au roi, le second tiers au plaignant et le troisième aux juges qui ont fixé la peine. » La peine, dit à ce sujet M. Bouinais, « sera toujours très forte; car le mandarin trouve son profit à l'élever. Les plaidoiries les plus éloquentes sont les cadeaux que les malheureux plaideurs apportent à leurs magistrats fantaisistes, et ceux-ci trouvent encore moyen d'augmenter leurs épices en faisant payer pour l'apposition du cachet destiné à garantir l'authenticité de la sentence. »\n\nL'esclavage est encore une des grandes plaies du Cambodge.\n\nLes esclaves peuvent être rangés en trois catégories, à savoir : les esclaves pour dettes; les esclaves d'État; les esclaves à vie généralement d'origine sauvage.\n\nLa législation de l'esclavage pour dettes est particulièrement abominable.\n\nLe débiteur est adjugé comme esclave au créancier quand il ne peut payer la dette contractée. Il a théoriquement le droit de se racheter, mais tout le produit de son travail appartenant au maître, il ne peut jamais faire aucun bénéfice et réunir la somme nécessaire à sa libération.\n\nLes enfants nés de parents esclaves sont esclaves aussi. Tout est calculé d'une façon si inique pour perpétuer la situation des malheureux débiteurs, que les seuls cas de libération connus sont ceux où un parent ou un ami charitable avance le montant de la rançon.\n\nLes esclaves d'État à perpétuité sont les condamnés pour certains crimes, les descendants des condamnés, et les prisonniers de guerre; ils ne peuvent se racheter que sous le bon plaisir du roi.\n\nQuant aux esclaves à vie, d'origine sauvage, ce sont des malheureux capturés dans des battues dirigées contre les tribus errantes dans les bois et les montagnes, ou achetés sur les marchés du Laos, où cette chasse à l'homme se pratique encore sur une grande échelle.\n\nOn ne sera pas surpris qu'une société ainsi soumise au despotisme le plus extravagant, en proie aux plus odieuses iniquités sociales, soit allée s'appauvrissant et se dégradant. Ce qui étonne, c'est que le Cambodge ait pu suffire jusqu'à ce jour à l'entretien du mandarinat, de la famille royale, du monarque et de son invraisemblable sérail.\n\nCeux de nos résidents qui se succédèrent de 1867 à 1876 à Oudong d'abord, puis à Phnom-Penh où Norodom porta sa capitale, furent tous frappés de ce fait que notre protection ne couvrait en définitive qu'un système d'abus monstrueux. Le pays se ruinait et se dépeuplait. Le rôle de protecteur ainsi conçu était-il digne de la France? Était-ce pour permettre à Norodom de consommer la ruine de son royaume, d'affamer son peuple au profit du harem que nos soldats avaient combattu, avaient vaincu les rebelles Assoa, Pucombo et le prince Votha? Ne manquions-nous pas à notre devoir de puissance civilisatrice en n'usant pas de l'autorité que nous donnaient sur Norodom les traités et les services rendus pour contrôler son pouvoir et exiger de lui de sérieuses réformes?\n\nCe fut la pensée du gouverneur de la Cochinchine au lendemain de la répression de l'insurrection du prince Votha. Nous venions pour la seconde fois en moins de dix années de sauver Norodom du détrônement. L'amiral Duperré et notre résident à Phnom Penh parvinrent à décider le roi à la promulgation d'un certain nombre de réformes administratives en vue de soulager les populations cambodgiennes, et d'établir une certaine régularité tant dans la perception des taxes que dans l'administration de la justice.

Une convention, en date du 28 juillet 1877, conféra au Représentant du protectorat français la faculté d'assister au Conseil des ministres cambodgiens.\n\nNous fimes, par contre, peu de temps après, à Norodom une concession du plus fâcheux caractère. Il lui fut permis de promulguer une ordonnance royale, aux termes de laquelle les Annamites, sujets français, perdaient leur nationalité après un an de séjour au Cambodge. Il en résulta que cent mille de nos sujets furent instantanément réduits à l'état de corvéables de la plus misérable catégorie.\n\nDe toutes les ordonnances de 1877, celle-là seule fut mise en vigueur.\n\nLes réformes concernant l'administration, les finances, la justice, l'esclavage ne reçurent pas même un commencement d'exécution.\n\n## \nCette situation du Cambodge appela vivement l'attention du premier gouverneur civil de la Cochinchine, M. Le Myre de Vilers. Sa vigilance fut mise d'autant plus en éveil que le roi Norodom avait laissé paraître certaines velléités de se soustraire aux obligations de la convention de protectorat de 1863, notamment en 1878, époque à laquelle il avait essayé de traiter directement avec l'Espagne.\n\nNous ne saurions mieux faire, pour donner une idée précise de l'état du Cambodge plusieurs années après les réformes illusoires de 1877, que de reproduire quelques extraits d'un remarquable rapport que M. Le Myre de Vilers adressait au ministre de la marine, à la date du 15 avril 1882.\n\nCe document a été communiqué par le Gouvernement à votre Commission.\n\nLorsqu'en 1863, écrivait M. Le Myre de Vilers, nous assurâmes le trône du Cambodge au roi Norodom, nous ne sûmes pas, nous ne voulûmes pas ou nous ne pûmes pas profiter de ses bonnes dispositions et nous négligeâmes de placer à la tête de l'administration, de la justice et des finances, des fonctionnaires français; peu à peu le Roi s'est habitué à \n17 \n\nN° 3482 \nl'exercice d'un pouvoir absolu et, je dois le reconnaître, sans contrôle; étranger aux affaires de son royaume et aux intérêts de ses sujets, sa fantaisie est devenue sa seule règle de conduite et, en maintes circonstances, il n'a pas craint d'agir en dehors de nous et même contre nous, notamment à l'occasion des traités espagnols.\n\n« Il est vrai qu'en 1877, pour remédier à cet état de choses, nous exigeâmes la promulgation d'ordonnances qui supprimaient l'esclavage, donnaient à notre représentant entrée au Conseil des ministres et, en vue de mettre un terme à la dilapidation des finances, prévoyaient l'enregistrement, au protectorat, de tous les contrats passés entre Sa Majesté et les Européens. Malheureusement, toutes ces mesures n'avaient pas de sanction et elles sont restées à l'état de lettre morte.\n\n« La chasse et le commerce des personnes se pratiquent toujours chez les Penongs et les Stiengs; les mandarins ne recevant pas de solde, continuent leurs exactions et vivent de pillage; la vénalité des magistrats n'a pas diminué; les actes de piraterie se multiplient; les services publics n'existent plus que de nom; les routes et les ponts, faute d'entretien, ont disparu et les communications sont devenues impossibles; par contre, les dépenses de la Cour s'accroissent chaque année; le roi s'est laissé entraîner, par vanité, à joindre au luxe asiatique tous les raffinements du confort européen : musique tagale et musique cambodgienne; voitures de toutes sortes et 250 éléphants conduits et gardés par de nombreux esclaves; flottille à vapeur et innombrables bateaux de tous genres, depuis la grande barque de luxe et la pirogue à quarante rameurs, jusqu'au Ghe-lüong; police tagale et police cambodgienne, infanterie, cavalerie, artillerie, gardes du corps, pages, etc. ; à la mode européenne, table et vins français dont la dépense vient s'ajouter à l'entretien de son immense personnel, domestiques européens, chinois, annamites, tagals, cambodgiens, Penongs, etc., etc.; acquisition immodérée de diamants et de bijoux; enfin et, pour couronner le tout, un harem composé de 400 femmes dont le nombre s'accroît chaque année par des détournements \n\n. \n\n5 \n128 \nM",

À notre tour, nous avons fini par être les victimes de ces désordres, et j'ai constaté, non sans inquiétude, que depuis quelques années les actes de piraterie se commettaient, en Cochinchine, avec des fusils ; tandis que nous interdisions sévèrement l'introduction des armes de guerre dans nos provinces, le commerce s'en faisait, librement, au Cambodge et elles pénètrent sur notre territoire par les frontières mal délimitées et mal gardées. »\n\nLe remède à la situation décrite d'une façon si saisissante par M. le Gouverneur général de la Cochinchine ne pouvait être que dans une organisation plus complète et plus pénétrante du protectorat de la France sur le Cambodge. Il nous fallait, si nous voulions garantir, à la fois, nos intérêts et sauver le Cambodge de la ruine, tirer les conséquences du principe de protectorat inscrit en tête de la convention de 1863, et exercer un contrôle efficace sur l'administration de Norodom.\n\nCette nécessité n'échappa point à M. Le Myre de Vilers. Il l'indique dans la suite du rapport que nous venons de citer ; mais il craignit de se heurter dans l'application à des résistances et des difficultés difficiles à surmonter, et il jugea plus sage de se contenter d'obtenir de Norodom un certain nombre d'améliorations partielles.\n\nCette politique de ménagements excessifs pour le pouvoir absolu et les volontés capricieuses du roi du Cambodge a été fidèlement suivie par M. Le Myre de Vilers, puis par son successeur, M. Charles Thomson, jusqu'à l'heure où l'événement a prouvé que cette longanimité et ces atermoiements démesurés pouvaient être plus dangereux que l'expression d'une volonté formelle et résolue.\n\n19\n\nN° 3482\n\nUne convention négociée à la fin de novembre 1880 établit à Phnom Penh un tribunal français ayant juridiction civile et criminelle sur tous les sujets français et les étrangers ressortissant à toute puissance d'Europe ou d'Amérique. Un tribunal mixte franco-cambodgien, dont le principe avait été posé dans une convention de 1873, fut appelé à connaître des causes entre Cambodgiens et sujets français ou étrangers d'Europe et d'Amérique.\n\nM. Le Myre de Vilers, afin d'assurer, selon sa propre expression, une sorte d'indépendance aux juges cambodgiens du tribunal mixte dont le traitement n'était que nominal, leur accorda une indemnité mensuelle d'une barre d'argent (15 piastres). Une autre convention en date du 18 décembre 1881 attribua au Conseil du contentieux de Cochinchine la connaissance des différends qui pouvaient s'élever entre le roi Norodom et les Européens résidant au Cambodge. Un décret rendu après convention avec le roi abrogea l'ordonnance de 1877 qui faisait perdre leur nationalité à nos sujets annamites après un an de séjour au Cambodge. Le gouverneur de la Cochinchine attachait avec raison un très grand prix à cette mesure qui plaçait sous la juridiction protectrice du tribunal français les émigrants annamites dont le nombre va toujours croissant au Cambodge. Il obtint en même temps pour eux l'exemption de l'impôt de la capitation.\n\nLe roi Norodom opposa la plus opiniâtre résistance à cet affranchissement de nos sujets annamites. M. Le Myre de Vilers fut obligé de menacer le roi d'une rupture ouverte. Encore s'abstint-il de revendiquer pour eux le bénéfice de l'article 5 du traité de 1863 qui stipule en faveur de nos sujets le droit d'acquérir des propriétés dans le royaume du Cambodge.\n\nCette stipulation, d'ailleurs, ainsi que le constate M. Le Myre de Vilers dans le rapport précité, est toujours restée lettre morte, « ce qui permet, dit-il, à Sa Majesté d'exercer une véritable tyrannie sur les Européens et les étrangers asiatiques, car elle ne leur consent que des locations à court...",

Ce petit budget permit d'assurer le traitement des magistrats du tribunal de Phnom-Penh, d'entretenir la chaloupe à vapeur du représentant du Protectorat, de créer un poste à Kampot, port cambodgien, sur le golfe de Siam, pour la surveillance de la contrebande, et de créer dans la capitale une grande et belle école française qui est fréquentée par les fils du roi, des princes et des hauts mandarins.\n\nDivers autres arrangements, conclus au cours de l'année 1882, eurent pour objet d'aider à la répression du brigandage et de la piraterie qui, par suite de l'incurie des mandarins cambodgiens, prenaient des proportions inquiétantes sur les frontières de la Cochinchine. La contrebande des armes et des munitions de guerre s'était également développée de façon à éveiller de sérieuses appréhensions. L'établissement d'une zone neutre entre la Cochinchine et le Cambodge, où nos agents eurent le droit de suite et où il fut interdit d'établir des bureaux de vente d'opium, des distilleries et des maisons de jeu, apporta quelque remède à ces désordres.\n\nLes choses en étaient là lorsque M. Thomson succéda, au mois de janvier 1883, à M. Le Myre de Vilers, en qualité de gouverneur de la Cochinchine.\n\nUn fait nouveau, d'une extrême gravité, s'était produit dans notre politique en extrême Orient. Le commandant Rivière avait été envoyé au Tonkin à la tête d'une poignée de marins et de soldats. Cette mesure conservatoire de nos droits soulevait contre nous l'hostilité mal déguisée de l'Annam et de la Chine. Les événements qui allaient se dérouler en ces régions ne pouvaient manquer d'avoir leur contre-coup à la cour de Norodom.\n\n## Page 21\n\nLe roi du Cambodge n'avait certes jamais manqué l'occasion de protester de ses sentiments de fidélité envers la France; il affectait une vive reconnaissance pour le pays protecteur auquel il devait le maintien de sa couronne; il avait souscrit, en 1872, pour la libération du territoire comme il souscrivit plus tard pour le monument à la mémoire de Gambetta; cependant, ni les gouverneurs de Cochinchine, ni les résidents de France à Phnom Penh ne s'illusionnèrent jamais sur la nature des sentiments que Norodom nourrissait à notre égard.\n\nSes intrigues avec la cour de Bangkok et certaines tentatives pour entrer en relations avec des puissances européennes qu'il nous croyait peu sympathiques n'avaient pas échappé à nos agents. Il y avait d'autant plus lieu de veiller attentivement, que Norodom concédait, d'une part, divers monopoles à des Chinois et s'entourait, à Phnom Penh, d'Européens de nationalités diverses, dont quelques-uns dissimulaient à peine leur hostilité contre notre pays.\n\nS'il faut en croire un juge compétent, plus les protestations de Norodom sont chaleureuses, plus il faut se défier.\n\nNous relevons, en effet, un mot typique, dans une dépêche de M. Le Myre de Vilers. Il s'agit des menées de Norodom près la cour de Siam. « La conversation que j'ai eue avec Sa Majesté, écrivait le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, ne me laisse aucun doute à cet égard; elle a trop essayé de se défendre pour ne point être coupable de quelque nouvelle trahison. »\n\nNos embarras au Tonkin, après l'échec et la mort du commandant Rivière devant Hanoï, produisirent une vive impression à Phnom-Penh. M. le Gouverneur Thomson, informé par notre résident, écrivait à ce sujet à la fin de juillet 1883: « J'ai remarqué que depuis les récents événements d'Hanoi, l'attitude du roi vis-à-vis du Protectorat contrastait singulièrement avec ses déclarations et que, tout en protestant... \n\n## Page 8 \n## Page 130",

Norodom, sous l'influence de suggestions hostiles dont il est facile de deviner la nature, paraissait vouloir s'affranchir de ses obligations conventionnelles. Le Gouverneur insistait, en outre, sur l'influence prépondérante exercée sur Norodom par divers Européens qui avaient su capter sa confiance.\n\nAu point de vue de l'administration intérieure du Cambodge, les conventions conclues en 1882 n'avaient donné que des résultats à peu près illusoires. M. Le Myre de Vilers l'avait reconnu lui-même dans une de ses dernières dépêches. Il y constatait le mécontentement général des populations, et mandait qu'il avait prescrit à notre Représentant « d'engager le roi à mettre un terme à des abus administratifs qui compromettent la sécurité. »\n\nLa contrebande de l'alcool et de l'opium se continuait sur une grande échelle à la frontière de Cochinchine, au détriment de la régie coloniale. Non content d'absorber tout le produit net des taxes arrachées aux malheureuses populations cambodgiennes, le roi concédait à des étrangers, Chinois et Européens, des monopoles en retour d'emprunts usuraires.\n\nDes douanes intérieures étaient établies et affermées au mépris des stipulations du traité de 1863. Un semblable état de choses ne pouvait se prolonger sans les plus graves inconvénients.\n\nNotre protection continuait de couvrir une tyrannie révoltante et les plus odieux procédés de gouvernement ; nous n'avions pas même en retour la certitude que le monarque qui, depuis vingt ans, ne régnait que par nous, ne profiterait pas des complications où nous étions engagés pour nous créer des embarras nouveaux sur les bords du Mékong. De faux bruits de défaites subies par nos troupes étaient répandus à Phnom-Penh, colportés par les Chinois et par quelques-uns des étrangers européens en faveur à la cour de Norodom.\n\nLe roi ne semblait avoir d'oreilles que pour les adversaires de la France, tandis que le second roi, l'obbareach, son frère, qui nous est dévoué et les mandarins de notre parti étaient tenus systématiquement à l'écart.\n\n## \n23 \n\nN° 3482 \n\nsaires de la France, tandis que le second roi, l'obbareach, son frère, qui nous est dévoué et les mandarins de notre parti étaient tenus systématiquement à l'écart.\n\nM. le gouverneur de la Cochinchine, d'accord avec le Gouvernement métropolitain, jugea qu'il était indispensable, tout en procédant avec les plus extrêmes ménagements, de resserrer les liens du Protectorat. Une première Convention fut négociée en vue d'assurer la perception régulière des taxes indirectes sur l'opium et les alcools. Norodom avait successivement affermé ces monopoles à des Chinois et à des étrangers européens. Ces aliénations étaient à la fois onéreuses pour le trésor royal, vexatoires pour les populations et dangereuses pour le Protectorat, en ce qu'elles mettaient les agents du fisc sous l'autorité de chefs qui pouvaient être ennemis de la France.\n\nLes monopoles furent supprimés, et la perception des droits confiée à l'administration des contributions indirectes de Cochinchine, qui dut verser de ce chef au trésor royal une somme annuelle de 165.000 piastres, plus 6.000 piastres pour les provinces de l'apanage du Second Roi. Cette première convention fut signée, non sans difficultés, le 10 septembre 1883.\n\nLa deuxième préparée par le gouvernement métropolitain concernait le régime douanier.\n\nElle avait pour objet la suppression des douanes intérieures, établies et concédées arbitrairement par Norodom en contradiction avec les stipulations de l'article 10 du traité du 11 août 1863, et la conclusion de l'union douanière entre la Cochinchine et le Cambodge, deux pays dont la solidarité économique est indiscutable.\n\nLa suppression des douanes intérieures ne pouvait manquer de faciliter les échanges, d'assurer l'écoulement des produits du pays, et de contribuer ainsi aux progrès économiques du Cambodge.

Cette réforme ne pouvait nuire qu'aux trafiquants de concessions et de monopoles, chinois et autres, qui spéculaient sur les fantaisies de Norodom.\n\nLe Gouvernement de la République ne renonçait certainement pas à réaliser progressivement, dans l'administration intérieure du royaume, les réformes dont les ordonnances mort-nées de 1877 avaient posé le principe; mais soucieux outre mesure de ménager les susceptibilités et les préjugés du roi, il se bornait à commencer par introduire un peu d'ordre, de logique et de régularité dans l'assiette et la perception des taxes fiscales du royaume.\n\nL'union douanière complétait excellemment à ce point de vue les résultats obtenus déjà par la remise à la régie coloniale de Cochinchine de la perception des droits sur l'opium et sur les alcools.\n\nLe roi Norodom fit mauvais accueil aux premières ouvertures concernant l'union douanière. Le gouverneur de la Cochinchine négocia bien avec succès au mois de mars 1884 une convention ayant pour but la création d'un tribunal mixte spécial connaissant des délits et contraventions en matière de contributions indirectes, mais il constata, au cours de ses négociations, que les dispositions du roi n'étaient rien moins que favorables.\n\nUne dépêche ministérielle du 24 avril 1884 prescrivit néanmoins à M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, tout en lui transmettant le texte définitif du projet d'union douanière, de se mettre en mesure de le faire accepter par notre protégé.\n\nM. Thomson se disposa immédiatement à partir pour Phnom-Penh. « J'ai la certitude, télégraphiait-il cependant de Saigon, le 30 mai, de rencontrer de très grandes difficultés. » Le gouverneur était effectivement informé qu'en dépit des succès de nos armes au Tonkin, le roi semblait plus que jamais dominé par des influences hostiles à la France. Il existait même de très sérieuses raisons de se demander si ces influences ne tendaient pas à déterminer Norodom à rompre ses liens avec la France et à réclamer le patronage de puissances européennes qu'on lui représentait comme nos ennemies.\n\n25\n\nN. 3482\n\nM. le Gouverneur Thomson arriva à Phnom-Penh le 4 juin.\n\nLes incidents qui se sont produits dans cette capitale entre le jour de cette arrivée et la signature de la convention du 17 juin 1884, dont la ratification vous est demandée, ont été l'objet de tant de commentaires que votre commission estime qu'ils doivent être relatés avec une extrême précision.\n\nM. Thomson fut reçu une première fois par le roi, le 5 juin; il obtint une seconde audience, le 7. Dans ces deux audiences, le gouverneur s'efforça de démontrer à Norodom les avantages que le Cambodge et son souverain lui-même tireraient de l'union douanière; mais il se heurta à un parti pris opiniâtre de se dérober à la discussion. Le roi se bornait à répéter, comme une leçon apprise, dit M. Thomson dans son rapport, « que les ministres et les mandarins étaient unanimes à lui conseiller de ne pas signer une convention qui violerait les anciennes coutumes et détruirait le prestige royal; qu'il désirait s'en tenir à la lettre du traité de 1863 »; et formulant toujours ses protestations habituelles de dévouement et de reconnaissance envers la France, il « sollicitait la bienveillance du gouvernement de la République ».\n\nCette réponse n'était pas sérieuse. Il n'était douteux pour personne que les ministres cambodgiens, dont la situation, les biens, l'existence même dépendent du caprice royal, n'avaient exercé aucune influence sur la détermination d'un prince qu'ils n'ont jamais osé contredire. Quant à l'argument tiré des vieilles coutumes et du prestige royal, ce n'était évidemment qu'un vain prétexte. Ces coutumes avaient permis au roi d'affermer ses douanes, en dérogation au traité de 1863, comme le lui faisait remarquer M. Thomson, à des étrangers chinois ou allemands. Quant au prestige royal, loin de perdre, il ne pouvait que gagner en raison directe du bon ordre et de l'accroissement des richesses qu'une sage administration assurerait au Cambodge. Norodom ne pouvait, d'ailleurs,",

M. Thomson fit valoir en vain tous ces arguments; il eut beau faire entrevoir à Norodom tous les avantages que le Cambodge retirerait, grâce à l'union douanière et à notre récent traité avec la Chine, du rétablissement de l'ancien courant commercial qui, suivant la vallée du Mékong, du Yunnam au Laos, enrichissait jadis le royaume des Khmers; vainement, il éclaira le roi sur la gravité d'un refus que rien ne justifiait et auquel le Gouvernement français n'avait pas lieu de s'attendre; le roi feignit obstinément de ne pas comprendre.\n\nNorodom semblait avoir totalement oublié qu'il était en présence du représentant d'une puissance sans le bras de laquelle il aurait depuis longtemps perdu couronne, sujets, pouvoir et trône. Devant cette obstination, le gouverneur de la Cochinchine, prenant congé du roi, à l'issue de l'audience du 7 juin, dut lui adresser cet avertissement : « Que Votre Majesté prenne garde; la France sera obligée de vous rappeler que sa protection s'étend moins sur la personne du roi que sur le royaume du Cambodge ».\n\nM. Thomson mit le Gouvernement métropolitain au courant de la situation par une dépêche télégraphique, en date de Phnom Penh le 8 juin, résumant, avec une parfaite exactitude, les résultats de ses deux audiences.\n\nLa réponse du Gouvernement ne se fit pas attendre, elle fut expédiée de Paris le 9 juin par télégramme.\n\nVoici le texte de cette dépêche :\n\n**Le Ministre de la Marine et des Colonies**  \nà M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, Phnom Penh, Cambodge.  \nRésistance du roi à conclure convention commerciale surprend péniblement Gouvernement République. Article 16, traité 1863, nous oblige à garantir ordre dans le Cambodge et nous donne toute autorité pour assurer perception régulière des droits de commerce, autant dans les intérêts du roi que dans celui de ses sujets. Savons que profits illégitimes sont tirés des douanes intérieures par fonctionnaires cambodgiens et que l'affermage douanes se donne à étrangers. Sommes absolument décidés à supprimer ces abus et exigeons, par suite, signature convention commerciale présentée en notre nom. Prévenez le roi qu'en cas persistance refus, passerons outre et interviendrons plus directement dans affaires du Cambodge. Voulons réponse prompte.\n\nCes instructions, fermes et nettes, traçaient à M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine sa conduite ultérieure.\n\nIl les exécuta avec intelligence et décision. Muni de la réponse du Gouvernement, M. Thomson prévint le roi par lettre, le mercredi matin, 11 juin, qu'il se rendrait au palais le même jour, cinq heures du soir, pour lui donner connaissance de la réponse du Gouvernement qu'il avait provoquée. Non seulement le roi ne donna pas au Gouverneur l'audience demandée, mais il ne répondit même point par écrit, et se borna à envoyer au Protectorat son premier secrétaire, Col de Monteiro, dont voici, d'après le rapport de M. Thomson, les paroles textuelles : « Le roi est indisposé. Il a la goutte, son pied est enflé; il a la fièvre et ne reçoit personne. Si demain Sa Majesté se porte mieux, peut-être pourra-t-elle recevoir M. le Gouverneur. »\n\nLe Gouverneur trouva, avec raison, ce procédé peu correct. Il s'en expliqua avec le secrétaire du roi et l'un des ministres cambodgiens, venu un instant après.\n\nCependant une lettre de Norodom fut remise à M. Thomson dans la soirée de ce même jour.\n\nLe roi ne répondait pas à la demande d'audience, ne faisait aucune allusion à la dépêche du Gouvernement, dont lecture avait été donnée au ministre cambodgien, et Norodom, renouvelant son refus de signer le traité, annonçait son intention d'écrire directement au Président de la République française pour le saisir de la question.\n\nLe roi n'ignorait pas que le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, étant investi de pleins pouvoirs diplomatiques et de la représentation du Protectorat de la France au Cambodge, c'est avec lui seul qu'il devait négocier.

Il n'était que dix heures et quart du soir, et le roi, qui venait de signer une lettre, ne devait vraisemblablement point être encore couché. \n\nLes délégués du Gouverneur firent antichambre pendant trois heures, et ne furent pas reçus sous prétexte que le roi dormait, et que les lois du royaume interdisaient de le réveiller. \n\nOr, un quart d'heure après le départ des deux fonctionnaires français, les ministres étaient mandés d'urgence chez le roi. \n\nLe lendemain, 12 juin, le roi prétexta qu'il était malade pour décliner tout entretien. \n\nCette attitude blessante et ce parti-pris de résistance passive ne pouvaient être tolérés indéfiniment sans préjudice pour la dignité de la France. M. Thomson le comprit, et il prit immédiatement ses mesures en conséquence. \n\nIl manda quelques troupes de Saïgon; il mit par dépêche le Gouvernement de la République au courant de la situation, et il adressa au roi Norodom une nouvelle lettre récapitulant les incidents qui s'étaient produits depuis cinq jours et qui se terminait en ces termes : \n\n« J'ai donc le regret de constater qu'en refusant de discuter avec le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, représentant direct du protectorat, et chargé d'une mission spéciale, les affaires du Cambodge et le projet d'une convention commerciale qui lui était présentée autant dans son intérêt que dans celui de ses sujets, Votre Majesté a manifestement violé les clauses du traité du 11 août 1863; \n\n\" \n\nQu'en refusant, à quatre reprises, d'entendre la communication d'une réponse du Gouvernement de la République qu'elle avait elle-même instamment sollicitée, et en persistant à ne pas me recevoir, Votre Majesté a voulu rompre, en fait, toutes les relations entre la France et le Cambodge, et a porté une grave atteinte à la dignité du Gouvernement français. \n\n## \n\nEn conséquence, j'ai l'honneur de faire connaître à Votre Majesté que si, demain samedi, 14 juin, à midi, je n'ai pas reçu des excuses suffisantes de l'attitude blessante qui a été prise à l'égard du représentant de la France, protectrice du Cambodge, et si, à la même heure, la convention commerciale ne m'a pas été remise signée par Votre Majesté et revêtue de son sceau, je prendrai toutes les dispositions nécessaires pour assurer le respect dû au pavillon français et remplir les obligations que nous impose l'article 16 du traité du 11 août 1863. » \n\nLe roi répondit, à la date du 14, une lettre où, après avoir coloré de divers prétextes son refus de recevoir M. Thomson et renouvelé ses banales protestations de dévouement à la France, il terminait en ces termes : \n\n« Ainsi que j'ai eu l'honneur de vous le dire, je ne veux \n\npas signer la Convention des Douanes que vous m'avez \n\nprésentée. \n\nProspérité, amitié, alliance! \n\n**NORODOM** \n\nC'était l'expression catégorique d'une opiniâtre volonté de résister à la puissance protectrice. \n\nDeux jours se passèrent encore. La situation devenait impossible. Un commencement d'agitation se manifestait; des bruits alarmants étaient mis en circulation; les mandarins de province étaient secrètement mandés à Phnom Penh; divers indices enfin, accusaient des préparatifs de fuite du roi et de la cour à Oudong. Ce départ aurait été le prélude d'une insurrection. \n\nM. le gouverneur Thomson prit le parti d'agir. \n\nIl jugea que la crise ne pouvait être dénouée que par une organisation plus précise du protectorat qui préviendrait le retour de résistances aussi peu justifiées, et qui assurerait...",

L'Alouette et trois canonnières qui avaient transporté ces troupes de Saigon mouillaient à petite distance.\n\nM. le gouverneur Thomson se présentait à six heures au palais accompagné de son chef de cabinet, du résident intérimaire, de deux aides de camp, du lieutenant de vaisseau commandant l'aviso l'Alouette, de deux officiers de ce bâtiment, et de M. Pavie, faisant fonctions d'interprète. Aucune résistance ne fut opposée, et il est absolument inexact que les troupes, comme on l'a prétendu dans certaines relations, aient dû envahir l'intérieur du palais. À la porte de la troisième enceinte, M. Thomson trouva le chef des gardiens du palais. Il demanda à être introduit auprès du roi. Un quart d'heure après, il fut reçu dans l'une des pièces de ses appartements particuliers. Le roi Norodom était étendu sur un lit de repos.\n\nLe gouverneur fit en peu de mots l'histoire des treize \n\n## \n33 \n\nN° 3482 \n\njours qui s'étaient écoulés depuis son arrivée à Phnom Penh; il insista sur le caractère blessant pour la puissance protectrice à qui Norodom devait la conservation de son trône du refus de discuter la Convention douanière, et de l'obstination à refuser une audience au représentant suprême du Protectorat; il fit ressortir l'esprit de conciliation et la longanimité dont il avait fait preuve, et il conclut en ces termes :\n\n« Le Gouvernement de la République française n'a jamais permis qu'il fût porté atteinte à sa dignité. L'injure, qui lui a été faite par le refus de discuter ses propositions et d'entendre sa réponse, est grave : je viens aujourd'hui, après avoir attendu quatre jours encore, en demander réparation.\n\n« J'exige donc des excuses et la signature d'une nouvelle convention qui, réalisant les réformes reconnues nécessaires dans l'intérêt du peuple cambodgien, démontrera à tous que la France, dont l'action protectrice, comme je l'ai déjà dit à Votre Majesté, s'étend moins sur la personne du roi que sur le royaume du Cambodge, comprend toute l'étendue des devoirs que lui impose le traité du 11 août 1863. »\n\nIl fit alors donner lecture du texte de la convention nouvelle.\n\nLe roi, qui s'était évidemment flatté jusqu'alors de nous lasser par sa résistance passive, qui se souvenait avoir tout obtenu de nous sans que nous eussions jamais exigé rien de sérieux de lui, eut peine à dissimuler sa surprise et son abattement. Il discuta encore et s'efforça d'atermoyer. Les ministres, introduits sur ces entrefaites, entendirent les explications de M. le Gouverneur, et il fut manifeste que la crainte seule des rancunes de Norodom les empêchait de se prononcer explicitement dans le sens de la résignation aux légitimes exigences du représentant de la France.\n\nLe roi ne s'y trompa pas, et il offrit de signer sur le champ la convention douanière.\n\nLe Gouverneur lui fit observer qu'il était trop tard, que",

Thomson avait des raisons sérieuses et positives d'estimer que, le cas échéant, l'abdication ou la déchéance de Norodom serait accueillie sans défaveur par la grande majorité de la famille royale, des principaux mandarins et du peuple cambodgien.\n\nLe roi avait spéculé sur notre faiblesse, sur nos habitudes d'inépuisable condescendance à son égard. Il comprit au langage froidement résolu de notre représentant qu'il avait atteint cette fois la limite extrême de notre débonnaireté, et il signa.\n\nQuand M. Thomson se retira, il fut salué à son passage par tous les princes de la famille royale, et il reçut les compliments du Second Roi.\n\nL'ordre le plus parfait n'avait cessé de régner à Phnom-Penh. La population avait manifesté plus de curiosité que d'émotion. Un sentiment de satisfaction générale se manifesta quand on connut les termes de la convention.\n\nA l'exception, en effet, des quelques individus de nationalités diverses qui profitaient des abus du gouvernement despotique de Norodom, tous les Cambodgiens avaient lieu de se féliciter d'un acte qui assurait, sous la garantie de la France, l'accomplissement des réformes fallacieusement promises dans les ordonnances royales de 1877.\n\nLe nouveau traité stipulait l'abolition de l'esclavage et la constitution de la propriété individuelle au Cambodge; il plaçait de plus sous le contrôle immédiat des représentants du protectorat français l'administration, la justice et la perception des impôts dans le royaume. Les deux premières clauses, sans parler de leur haute portée morale, assuraient l'accomplissement d'une grande et salutaire évolution sociale dans le régime économique du pays. Pour la première fois, nous remplissions notre vrai rôle de protecteur en faisant œuvre civilisatrice au Cambodge.\n\n35\n\nNo 3482\n\nLes documents communiqués par le Gouvernement à votre Commission, rapports de M. le gouverneur de la Cochinchine et projets de décrets organiques en exécution de divers articles de la convention du 17 juin, lui ont permis d'apprécier la méthode que le Gouvernement compte suivre dans la réorganisation du Cambodge. Elle lui a paru prudente et sage.\n\nUn résident général de France à Phnom-Penh exercera, sous l'autorité supérieure du gouverneur de la Cochinchine, un contrôle permanent sur l'administration du royaume; il aura droit d'audience privée et personnelle auprès du roi et entrée au Conseil des Ministres.\n\nLe nombre des provinces du royaume, qui est actuellement de cinquante-sept, présentant entre elles des inégalités de superficie et de population invraisemblables, délimitées de la façon la plus extravagante, - quelques-unes ont des cantons disséminés aux quatre coins du royaume sans autre lien entre eux que de dépendre d'un même mandarin - le nombre des provinces, disons-nous, sera ramené à huit, correspondant aux divisions naturelles, géographiques et historiques du pays. Elles seront divisées chacune en deux ou trois arrondissements. Un résident français, placé au chef-lieu de chaque province, contrôlera les mandarins cambodgiens. Le nombre de ces derniers serait réduit, leurs attributions déterminées, et ils recevraient un traitement fixe qui dispenserait ces fonctionnaires de recourir aux exactions dont ils sont coutumiers. La suppression des emplois inutiles, des dilapidations et du désordre général dans la perception des impôts permettrait d'accomplir cette réforme sans charges onéreuses pour le Trésor du royaume.\n\nLe Gouvernement se propose d'organiser au Cambodge des municipalités analogues à celles qui fonctionnent de temps immémorial dans les communes annamites. Cette création se lie intimement à l'œuvre de constitution de la propriété individuelle dans le royaume.\n\nL'article 10 de la convention du 17 juin 1884 organise dès \n\n137",

La composition exceptionnelle de la population de cette capitale, où vivent juxtaposés, au nombre d'environ cinquante mille, des groupes de races diverses, Cambodgiens, Annamites, Chinois, Malais, Indiens, avec un certain nombre de négociants européens, exige un mode tout particulier d'organisation communale.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la distribution de la justice, le Gouvernement a préparé un projet de règlement qui, sans déroger au principe de la juridiction exclusive du tribunal français de Phnom-Penh et de la cour de Saïgon sur les sujets français et les étrangers européens résidant au Cambodge, instituera des tribunaux indigènes qui jugeront suivant l'équité, en conformité des coutumes cambodgiennes, mais en se rapprochant autant que possible des principes généraux du droit français.\n\nLa torture et les pénalités barbares des anciennes lois cambodgiennes seront abolies. Un salaire convenable sera assuré aux juges cambodgiens, de façon à permettre la suppression de leurs habitudes invétérées de vénalité.\n\nLa constitution de la propriété individuelle sera sans contredit l'une des œuvres les plus délicates mais les plus fécondes du nouveau protectorat.\n\nLa terre, au Cambodge, est censée propriété exclusive du roi; tous les détenteurs de propriété n'y sont, par suite, que des fermiers ou des locataires soumis à l'arbitraire royal, et auxquels la coutume n'accorde même pas d'indemnité pour les améliorations résultant de leurs soins. Il n'est pas besoin de s'appesantir sur un état de choses aussi barbare. L'article 9 du traité en stipule l'abolition.\n\nDans le projet du Gouvernement, on réserverait d'abord un domaine de la couronne, dotation inaliénable du souverain; le domaine public, également inaliénable, comprendrait les routes, fleuves, canaux, lacs, et leurs rives, ainsi que les édifices ou locaux affectés à des services publics; un domaine de réserve serait formé au moyen des immeubles que l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable. Celles-ci seraient réparties entre les communes. Les occupants actuels du sol recevront, soit gratuitement, soit à de certaines conditions, selon les cas, des titres définitifs de propriété. Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\n## 37\n\nN 5482\n\nQue l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable.

Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\nL'esclavage, dont le maintien sous notre Protectorat serait une honte pour la France républicaine, est aboli par l'article 8 de la convention.\n\nNous avons dit plus haut les traits particuliers que cette triste institution affecte au Cambodge.\n\nIl serait malheureusement illusoire de vouloir la faire disparaître d'un trait de plume. Aussi le Gouvernement a-t-il arrêté des mesures de transition, nécessitées par l'état social du Cambodge, qui assureront le résultat final dans un délai relativement court. La responsabilité familiale, l'une des causes les plus iniques de l'esclavage au Cambodge, serait dès à présent supprimée. Le fils ne sera plus esclave pour le crime de son père; les membres de la famille de l'esclave pour dettes resteront libres. Aucune personne libre ne pourra désormais être réduite en esclavage.\n\nLa capture et la vente des sauvages seront interdites. Quant aux esclaves actuellement existants, ceux dont la servitude a pour causes des crimes ou des délits commis par leurs ancêtres ou par des personnes de leur famille, seront libérés sur le champ de plein droit; ceux qui sont esclaves pour crimes ou délits commis par eux-mêmes seront, selon la décision d'un tribunal, ou immédiatement libérés ou astreints à quelque peine temporaire; quant aux esclaves pour dettes, ils ne seront plus considérés que comme engagés à temps, et le tribunal fixera, en équité, le travail qu'ils doivent encore à leur maître jusqu'à libération entière.\n\nIl ne paraît pas douteux à votre commission que l'accomplissement de ce programme, dont nous n'avons fait que ...",

Cette conclusion a réuni l'unanimité des suffrages au sein de la commission.\n\nNous ne terminerons pas néanmoins ce rapport sans opposer quelques brèves observations aux objections et aux critiques dont l'acte du 17 juin 1884 a été l'objet.\n\nNotre honorable collègue, M. Blancsubé, député de la Cochinchine française, membre de la commission, mais retenu loin de nous par la maladie, nous avait saisis, par écrit, d'observations diverses, tendant à modifier le texte de la Convention, appuyées d'une lettre de protestation adressée, postérieurement au 17 juin, à M. Jules Grévy, président de la République française, par le roi Norodom.\n\nCette lettre du roi, qui porte les traces apparentes de la collaboration des Européens de l'entourage de Norodom, ne contient aucune articulation de fait à laquelle il ne soit répondu d'avance dans l'historique que nous venons de tracer.\n\nVotre commission devait d'autant moins s'y arrêter que notre honorable collègue, M. Blancsubé, lui adressait de Saïgon, le 24 décembre dernier, la dépêche suivante :\n\nPrésident commission traité Hué et Cambodge, Chambre des Députés, Paris.\n\nBoi a approuvé promulgation Cambodge plusieurs actes portant exécution complète Convention 17 juin 84.\n\nCette nouvelle ratification par roi empêche toute opposition; du reste, arrivé en Cochinchine, après avoir pris informations exactes et avoir vu de près, je retire mon amendement.\n\nJULES BLANCSUBÉ.\n\nCette dépêche ne faisait que confirmer, avec l'autorité particulière qui appartient à notre honorable collègue, l'opinion de notre colonie de Cochinchine tout entière.\n\nDès le 31 juillet 1884, le Conseil colonial réuni en session à Saigon, décidait, à l'unanimité, l'affectation aux frais d'organisation administrative du Cambodge d'une somme de cent mille piastres, précédemment votée par le Conseil en vue de l'annexion de la province annamite du Binh-Thuan.\n\nIl n'est pas sans intérêt de noter que la proposition, acceptée à l'unanimité par le Conseil, émanait de l'initiative de neuf membres de cette assemblée représentative, parmi lesquels cinq sont des représentants élus de la population indigène annamite.\n\nVoici, du reste, d'après le *Journal Officiel* de la Cochinchine française du samedi 9 août 1884, les noms des signataires de la motion : Jourdan, James, Reynaud, Blanchy, Cao-van-sanh, Lehuong, Nguyen-minh-duong, Phan-cong-thanh, Nguyen-thành-trung.\n\nLe 15 décembre dernier, le Conseil colonial votait encore, à l'unanimité, la résolution suivante dont le texte a été transmis à votre Commission :\n\n« Le Conseil colonial réuni en session ordinaire, s'appuyant sur l'opinion unanime en Cochinchine et convaincu que la Convention signée à Phnom-reab, le 17 juin 1884, en même temps qu'elle est appelée à resserrer les liens d'amitié qui unissent le Cambodge à la France, assurera la paix intérieure et la prospérité du royaume protégé ainsi que le développement des intérêts français \n\n139",

La municipalité de Phnom Penh a été instituée. Le Second Roi, les princes, les ministres et les principaux fonctionnaires cambodgiens assistaient à la cérémonie de l'installation. Dans les diverses provinces du royaume que M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, représentant supérieur du Protectorat, a visitées, les mandarins et les notables indigènes ont témoigné de leur confiance et de leur soumission.\n\nEn dépit d'intrigues diverses, de faux bruits répandus et de l'annonce à Phnom-Penh que le traité ne serait pas ratifié, l'ordre n'a pas été un seul instant troublé jusqu'aux derniers jours de décembre, quoique l'effectif de nos forces militaires au Cambodge n'atteignît pas quatre cents hommes, tirailleurs annamites en majorité.\n\nDans les derniers jours de l'année écoulée, le rebelle impénitent Si-Votha, frère de Norodom, croyant l'occasion propice, est sorti de son refuge dans les provinces siamoises limitrophes du nord du Cambodge, pour tenter une incursion dans le royaume. Malgré la surprise du poste de Sambor, à la limite de la navigation à vapeur sur le Mékong, où l'officier français commandant le détachement de tirailleurs annamites a été tué, aucun mouvement insurrectionnel ne s'est produit parmi la population cambodgienne, et les bandes de Si-Votha, pourchassées quelques jours plus tard par la petite troupe du lieutenant-colonel Miramond, ont été battues, refoulées et dispersées vers les frontières du Laos.\n\nCette fois encore la France a rempli, comme elle l'a fait depuis plus de vingt ans au Cambodge, son devoir de puissance protectrice; ce sont nos soldats qui ont repoussé l'opiniâtre compétiteur du roi Norodom.\n\nVotre Commission aime à penser que ce dernier service, s'ajoutant à tant d'autres du même ordre, confirmera le roi\n\n## \n41\n\nNo 3482",

Ils pourront circuler, posséder et s'établir librement dans toutes les provinces et dépendances de ce royaume, lorsqu'ils en auront informé un grand mandarin cambodgien, qui leur délivrera un permis. \n\n## Art. 6. \n\nLes sujets cambodgiens jouiront dans toute l'étendue de l'empire français, d'une pleine et entière liberté pour leurs personnes et leurs propriétés. Ils pourront circuler, posséder et s'établir librement dans toutes les provinces et dépendances de cet empire, lorsqu'ils en auront informé un officier français compétent, qui leur délivrera un permis. \n\n## Art. 7. \n\nLorsqu'un Français, établi ou de passage dans le royaume du Cambodge, aura sujet de plainte ou quelque réclamation à formuler contre un Cambodgien, il devra d'abord exposer ses griefs au résident français qui, après avoir examiné l'affaire, s'efforcera de l'arranger à l'amiable. De même, quand un Cambodgien aura à se plaindre d'un Français, le résident écoutera sa réclamation avec intérêt et cherchera à ménager un arrangement amiable. Mais, dans l'un et l'autre cas, si la chose était impossible, le résident français requerrait l'assistance d'un fonctionnaire cambodgien compétent, et tous deux, après avoir examiné conjointement l'affaire, statueront suivant l'équité. Le résident français s'abstiendra de toute intervention dans les contestations des sujets cambodgiens entre eux; de leur côté les Français dépendront, pour toutes les difficultés qui pourraient s'élever entre eux, de la juridiction française, et l'autorité cambodgienne n'aura à s'en mêler en aucune manière, non plus que des différends qui surviendraient entre Français et Européens, qui seront jugés par le résident français. Les crimes commis par les résidents français dans le royaume cambodgien seront connus et jugés à Saigon par les cours de justice compétentes. Dans ce cas, le Gouvernement cambodgien donnera toute facilité au résident français pour saisir le coupable et le livrer au gouverneur de la Cochinchine. En cas d'absence du résident français, le commandant des forces françaises le remplacera pour exercer la justice. \n\n## Art. 8. \n\nTous les Français qui voudront s'établir dans le royaume du Cambodge \n\n47 \n\nN° 3482 \n\ndevront se faire inscrire à la chancellerie de la résidence française, et le résident en avisera le gouvernement cambodgien. \n\n## Art. 9. \n\nTous les Cambodgiens qui voudront s'établir dans les possessions de S. M. l'Empereur des Français, devront se faire inscrire auprès du résident cambodgien à Saigon, qui en informera le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine. \n\n## Art. 10. \n\nLes marchandises importées ou exportées par navires français dans le Cambodge, lorsque leurs propriétaires seront munis d'un permis du Gouvernement de Saigon, seront admis en franchise de tous droits dans tous les ports du royaume du Cambodge, excepté l'opium, qui sera soumis aux droits. \n\n## Art. 11. \n\nLes navires chargés de marchandises cambodgiennes qui auront acquitté les droits au Cambodge, s'ils sont munis d'un permis du Gouvernement cambodgien, visé par le résident français, seront admis en franchise de tous droits dans tous les ports ouverts de la Cochinchine. \n\n## Art. 12. \n\nLes Français voyageant en qualité de savants, tels que naturalistes, géographes, etc., donneront avis de leur mission au Gouvernement cambodgien, et ils en recevront tous les soins et bons offices de nature à les aider dans l'accomplissement de leur mission et leur faciliter les voyages de l'intérieur du pays. \n\n## Art. 13. \n\nDans le cas où des navires français seraient attaqués ou pillés par des pirates dans des parages dépendant du royaume du Cambodge, l'autorité locale du lieu le plus rapproché, dès qu'elle aura connaissance du fait, en poursuivra activement les auteurs et ne négligera rien pour qu'ils soient arrêtés et punis conformément aux lois. Les marchandises enlevées, en quelque état et en quelque lieu qu'elles se trouvent, seront remises à leur propriétaire ou, en leur absence, entre les mains d'une autorité française, qui se chargera de les restituer. Si l'on ne pouvait s'emparer des coupables ni recouvrer la totalité des objets volés, les fonctionnaires cambodgiens, après avoir prouvé qu'ils ont fait tous leurs efforts pour arriver à ce but, ne sauraient être rendus pécuniairement responsables. Il en sera de même pour les actes de pillage ou de vol qui auraient été commis sur les propriétés des Français établis dans le royaume du Cambodge. L'autorité cambodgienne, après avoir prouvé qu'elle a fait tous ses efforts pour saisir les coupables et recouvrer la totalité des objets volés, ne saurait être rendue pécuniairement responsable. \n\n## Art. 14. \n\nDans le cas où des navires cambodgiens seraient attaqués ou pillés par des pirates dans les parages dépendant de l'empire français, l'autorité locale du lieu",

O. 11610`\n`RECR REGE 2 JUL 85`\n\nM. le Comte,\n\nLondres, le 20 Juin, 1885.\n\nAINSI que j'ai eu l'honneur de l'annoncer à votre Excellence le 12 de ce mois, des ordres ont été donnés au Commandant des forces navales Françaises dans les mers de Chine en vue de rendre la liberté au vapeur Britannique \"Waverley,\" capturé dernièrement. Un Traité de Paix ayant été signé, le 9 de ce mois, entre la France et le Céleste Empire, le Gouvernement de la République, sans attendre la ratification de cet acte, a fait immédiatement parvenir au Commandant de ses forces navales dans l'Extrême-Orient l'ordre de cesser le blocus des côtes de Chine, ainsi que les croisières en haute mer pour réprimer la contrebande de guerre. Le commerce dans ces parages se trouve donc rétabli pour toutes les marines dans les mêmes conditions qu'avant l'ouverture des hostilités.\n\nBien que, par suite de ce fait, les considérations développées par votre Excellence, dans une lettre en date du 8 courant, n'aient plus, pour ainsi dire, qu'un intérêt de doctrine, je suis cependant chargé d'établir que mon Gouvernement ne saurait acquiescer à la thèse d'après laquelle il aurait dû interdire à ses forces navales l'exercice du droit de visite en haute mer après la signature du Protocole d'Armistice conclu le 4 Avril. Ce droit de visite a été, en effet, expressément réservé par le Gouvernement Français dans ce Protocole. Il est très vrai que la guerre n'a jamais été déclarée entre la France et la Chine; mais l'état de guerre, existant de fait entre les deux Puissances, n'a pas moins été reconnu par toutes les autres, par l'Angleterre en particulier. D'où il suit qu'aucun État n'aurait été fondé à se prévaloir de la trêve survenue ensuite pour réclamer la liberté absolue des neutres, que l'état de trêve n'implique pas de plein droit. Les adoucissements apportés par le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté la Reine au \"Foreign Enlistment Act\" ont été, de sa part, une mesure tout à fait unilatérale qui n'engendrait, en aucune façon, l'obligation corrélative pour le Gouvernement de la République de se priver, vis-à-vis de la Chine, de moyens de pression laissés intacts par l'armistice et dont l'abandon aurait pu compromettre la conclusion de la paix.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\n(Signé) WADDINGTON.\n\nthe much Ambapados on the subject of Belligerents' rights, and announcing that they asserted are no longer by France in the Eastern Seas: I am further to inclose a copy of a notice to this effect, which appeared in the London Gazette of last Friday.\n\nIan ann Sir,\n\nYour most obedient humble Servant\n\nChilip 10 fa in Pruit Jut\n\nNo. 410.",

Le thermomètre oscillant entre +19 et +26° centigrades, la végétation se trouve dans toute sa force dans les champs cultivés, où les divers travaux pour l'entretien des cultures diverses font l'objet des soins incessants des Annamites.\n\nLes diverses espèces de riz ont poussé avec vigueur aux premières pluies et font présager une bonne récolte au 5<sup>e</sup> mois annamite (juin et juillet) Leur aspect de verdure offre un beau coup d'œil dans les plaines d'une certaine étendue, où l'agglomération de population est assez dense pour ne laisser aucune parcelle de rizière en friche. D'ailleurs, les riz qui ont été plantés tardivement n'ont plus à souffrir du manque d'eau.\n\nLes autres cultures: patatas, haricots blancs et noirs, ricin, maïs, sésame, arachides et mûriers; plantes potagères: navets, carottes, choux, se sont également bien ressenties du changement de saison, et l'aspect qu'elles présentent semble promettre un bon rendement.\n\nLes industries des poteries, des cuivres ouvragés et du tissage de la soie tendent à reprendre dans la province de Bao-Ninh leur ancienne activité. Cependant l'industrie minière n'a repris nulle part, et l'on ne constate en ce moment que quelques chercheurs d'or, — des Chinois errants principalement dans les montagnes à l'ouest du Day et sur les deux rives de la rivière Noire, dans le haut de son parcours. Ils semblent travailler pour leur propre compte et vendent leur produit relativement plus cher qu'il n'est acheté en Europe. Ainsi, le gramme d'or, coté à Paris 3 fr. 20, valeur intrinsèque convenue, vaut à Hanoi et à Son Tay, en ce moment, 3 fr. 56 environ en feuilles; si on déduit 10 p. 100 pour les frais de laminage, etc., on obtient son prix d'achat à l'état brut, soit 3 fr.21 sur les lieux de production, chiffre supérieur à la cote européenne et qui augmenterait encore, s'il fallait l'expédier.\n\nDans les principaux centres, les résidents font exécuter par les indigènes divers travaux de terrassement et de voirie indispensables pour l'assainissement des villes. Les voies du dehors sont également réparées dans leurs parties essentielles. On travaille aux deux routes de Phu-lang-Thuong à Chu et de Tiendao à Kep par Dongquan, dans la province de Bac-Ninh.\n\nL'entretien des routes pendant la saison pluvieuse exige une surveillance de chaque instant. Les orages sont assez violents quelquefois, par la grande quantité d'eau de pluie qui les accompagne, pour détériorer sur plusieurs points à la fois les meilleures routes. Elles sont d'ailleurs faciles à désagréger, n'étant construites en général dans le Delta que de sables d'alluvions. Les réparations de ces routes se font rapidement par le système aunamite des corvées: chaque village étant responsable des travaux que nécessite le tronçon qui passe sur son territoire; aussitôt qu'un dégât ou affouillement est signalé, la corvée du village s'y transporte sous la direction des notables; mais quand il s'agit de travaux plus considérables, tels que constructions ou réparations de digues et canalisations, le gouverneur d'une province est chargé quelquefois d'en diriger l'exécution par les corvées de plusieurs cantons à la fois.\n\nQuoique l'outillage restreint que possède le pays pour le transport de ses produits sur les voies fluviales ne permette pas au commerce d'exportation de profiter d'une façon complète de la latitude qui lui a été donnée par la décision du 19 novembre dernier, l'exportation des riz reprend d'une manière sensible depuis le milieu du mois d'avril. Les achats se bornent au superflu, que les détenteurs, peu habitués au commerce libre, gardaient dans l'espérance qu'ils pourraient bientôt, avant la récolte du 6<sup>e</sup> mois, si elle n'avait pas été heureuse, la vendre sur place à un prix très rémunérateur. Les marchands chinois fixés depuis longtemps dans les provinces méridionales, représentants de maisons chinoises établies à Hong-Kong, semblent, en ce moment, n'avoir que le souci d'y envoyer tout le riz qu'ils peuvent acheter au Tonkin, étant assurés de bénéfices (35 à 40 cents par picul) dans les très grandes circonstances particulières actuelles, tandis que pendant la période de temps de l'ouverture à l'exportation des années précédentes ces bénéfices ne dépassaient guère 9 ou 10 cents pour le même poids et sur la même place.\n\nLa petite hausse signalée au 1<sup>er</sup> avril sur les riz, paddys, noix d'arec, bétel, thé, sel, bambous, briques et paillottes, dans les marchés, s'est maintenue sans augmentation; il y a eu même tendance à la baisse sur les riz, paddys, noix d'arec et bétel. Cette dernière plante, qu'on avait dû couper ras de terre dans quelques endroits, notamment dans la province de Ninh-Binh où elle avait été très éprouvée par les brouillards de l'hiver, qui lui avaient fait perdre ses feuilles, repousse maintenant avec vigueur et ne tardera pas à montrer ses feuilles si en usage chez les Annamites, avec la noix d'arec, comme luxe ou dans les cérémonies.\n\nLes soins incessants que les Annamites donnent à leurs cultures diverses, les réparations qu'ils font à leurs paillottes pour le passage de la saison chaude et des pluies, ainsi qu'aux digues et aux chemins pour résister à l'inondation périodique annuelle, le curage des fossés, la diminution du stock des récoltes de l'année passée, sont, en ce moment, autant de causes principales qui rendent à peu près nulle la navigation commerciale des jonques du pays sur les fleuves et arroyos de certaines parties des provinces de Bac-Ninh, Son-Tay et Hanoi; mais ces centres ainsi que les provinces de Ninh-Binh, Nam-Dinh, Hai-Dzuong et Hai-Phong possèdent une certaine animation fluviale née de la reprise en avril de l'exportation des riz vers Hong-Kong.\n\nLe port de Hai-Phong toutefois conserve son animation maritime ordinaire, grâce aux entrées de navires de commerce chargés de divers approvisionnements. Les magasins des négociants de cette ville sont actuellement bien approvisionnés de marchandises européennes, qui ...\n\n## INDICATION \n### DÉSIGNATION DES PRODUITS \n| Produits | Poids, Mesures |

Les rizières donnent une belle espérance. Le sésame et les haricots ont été semés en mars, de même du maïs et de la canne à sucre qui ont été mis en terre en février. Le ricin commence à fleurir, le mûrier à se couvrir de feuilles.\n\n#### BAC NINH\n\nLa sécheresse de l'hiver passé a mis un peu les riz tardifs en souffrance; mais il y a lieu d'espérer que, d'ici peu, avec la tranquillité et les pluies qui ont commencé, l'agriculture va reprendre son niveau.\n\n#### SONTAY\n\nLes populations continuent à labourer les terrains élevés et à se livrer aux plantations des cultures diverses: maïs, sésame, patates, arachides et ricin.\n\n#### HAI DƯƠNG\n\nL'état des cultures est bon, les riz présentent une belle apparence.\n\n#### HAI PHONG\n\nLes riz de belle qualité ont subi une petite hausse sur leurs prix. L'immigration européenne reste stationnaire. On s'adonne, comme partout, aux soins que réclame l'agriculture.\n\n#### NINH BINH\n\nLes riz se développent. Les cotonniers sont sortis de terre. Les mûriers commencent à se développer. L'exportation du riz reprend son ardeur par suite des espérances que donne la prochaine récolte.\n\n### Note pour la mercuriale ci-jointe.\n\nLes différences trop accentuées que l'on a pu remarquer sur les diverses mercuriales depuis le commencement entre les prix de denrées dans les diverses résidences du Tonkin doivent être attribuées, à mon avis, à des erreurs commises dans la traduction des relevés sur les marchés, en prix du picul et des petits poids qui persistent et persisteront encore longtemps proviennent de causes locales ayant leur point de départ dans la pauvreté relative de quelques marchés en certains produits, ou en une demande plus forte de quelques produits, par suite d'agglomérations extraordinaires de consommateurs sur certains marchés.\n\nIndépendamment de la différence qui existe entre les prix des diverses provinces et qui est inévitable dans l'état actuel économique du pays, on doit tenir compte de l'impossibilité actuelle de confier à des Européens le soin de relever les cours des marchandises. Il faut nécessairement que MM. les résidents aient recours à leurs agents indigènes dont les indications sont parfois erronées, souvent intentionnellement par la croyance qu'ils ont que les Européens doivent payer plus cher qu'eux.\n\nOn a remarqué au Tonkin un fait qui mérite d'être signalé : c'est que là où la tranquillité est assurée par la présence d'une garnison française et où l'éloignement des fauteurs de désordre est considérable, les mêmes denrées sont plus chères que dans les lieux où la population peut avoir des craintes par le passage de bandes de vagabonds ou une certaine durée d'opérations hostiles; les habitants s'empressent, dans ce cas, d'écouler leurs divers produits aux premiers marchands qui les apportent dans les lieux où la présence de nos troupes suffit à en garantir la possession, dont la valeur se trouve alors augmentée de la somme de tous les périls et obstacles qu'elle a courus pour parvenir à sa destination.\n\nMais la pacification du pays se faisant à grands pas, la liberté du commerce d'exportation entrant dans les mœurs de ses habitants, l'outillage de transport sur les routes, fleuves et rivières se modifiant et s'augmentant, la propriété jouissant des garanties d'ordre et de justice par la présence du drapeau national, seront autant de facteurs qui prépareront dans un avenir prochain un nivellement des prix des diverses marchandises dont les écarts d'aujourd'hui de province à province font l'étonnement de critiques étrangers.\n\n### Renseignements divers. Culture de l'anis étoilé et fabrication de l'huile badiane.\n\nL'anis étoilé, ou badiane, que les Annamites appellent Bac Giai qua, ou Qua Hoi, est le fruit d'un arbre de haute taille qui pousse dans les régions montagneuses, sur les pentes vertes de terre. On le trouve très rarement à l'état sauvage ou isolé dans les forêts de la région. On le rencontre surtout dans les montagnes autour de Ha-Long, de Dong-Dang, de Nho-Quam et de Pho-Vi, qui sont les principaux centres de culture et de production.\n\nLa fabrication de l'huile se fait à Lang-Son, Ki-Lua, Dong Dang et Ha-Long; elle est soumise à un impôt que percevait le Tuan Phu qui était le fermier de la badiane pour la province.\n\nL'impôt variait suivant la quantité de fruits qui entrent dans la cuisson; pour une grande cuisson de 10 kilos annamites, l'impôt est de 3 ligatures; pour une cuisson de 3 à 4 kilos, l'impôt est 1 ligature et demie.\n\nL'huile est renfermée dans les récipients en fer blanc et vendue en Chine, à Luong-Chau; 100 kilos d'huile valent 12 barres d'argent de 100 ligatures, soit 171 piastres, le prix d'ailleurs varie au gré des marchands.\n\nAvant l'occupation française d'Hanoi et de Bac Ninh, une partie des produits s'écoulait par ces deux places dans le Tonkin, mais depuis les négociants de Chine sont demeurés les seuls maîtres du marché.\n\nLes Annamites affirment que le Qua-Hoi, ou arbre à badiane, ne se rencontre guère à l'état naturel dans les montagnes. Au village de Na-Nam, sur la route mandarine à environ 12 à 13 kilomètres de Lang-Son, il a été constaté de visu que les semis et les jeunes arbustes étaient l'objet de soins de la part des Annamites et entourés de bambous, et que les grands arbres sont plantés d'une manière régulière.\n\nUn arbre de 0,10 à 0,15 de diamètre donne environ 20 kilos annamites de fruits; un arbre de grande taille de 0,40 à 0,50 de diamètre donne environ 200 kilos annamites de fruits.\n\nLe fruit est vendu vert aux fabricants au prix de 4 tiens le kilo annamite (prix du village de Na-Nam).\n\nLa badiane est généralement exportée à l'état d'huile essentielle.\n\nAvant les derniers événements, elle valait sur le marché de Hanoi de 170 à 200 piastres le picul.\n\n| Année | Quantité exportée |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1876 | 8 piculs 14 |\n| 1877 | 18 -- 52 |\n| 1878 | 229 |\n| 1879 | 10 |\n| 1880 | 50 |\n| 1881 | 27 |\n| 1882 | 28 10 |\n\nCette huile s'expédiait par jarres de vingt à trente catties; c'était la maison Dat Chuong Long qui en faisait principalement le commerce et allait vendre ce produit sur le marché de Hong-Kong.\n\nIl s'en exportait aussi une certaine quantité par la route de Luong-Chau et de Nam-Ninh.\n\nQuant à la badiane à l'état de graine, il n'en sortait guère de dix à vingt piculs par an; elle vaut de 14 à 15 piastres le picul.\n\n### Province de Ninh-Binh.\n\nLa culture de l'anis étoilé et la fabrication de l'huile badiane se font principalement dans les régions montagneuses.\n\nLe territoire de la province de Ninh-Binh peut se diviser en deux régions bien distinctes: l'une située à l'ouest, très montagneuse et boisée, comprend le Phu de Nho-Quan et les pays Muong, jusqu'au Laos; l'autre, moins étendue, s'étend entre l'arroyo de Pha-Nho et la mer et a pour limite au nord la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day jusqu'à son embouchure et au sud la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare de la province de Thanh Hoa.\n\nConsidérée au point de vue agricole, la première région, malgré sa grande étendue, est fort peu exploitée jusqu'à ce jour, n'offre qu'une surface de 73,410 hectares environ cultivée pendant six mois de l'année seulement à cause de l'inondation périodique.\n\nPendant 10 ans, le Bac Giai qua croît lentement; un arbre d'une dizaine d'années a de 2 à 3 mètres de hauteur et produit fort peu, ne donnant plus de 1 à 2 kilos. A partir de dix ans, sa croissance et sa production croissent rapidement jusqu'à 30 ou 40 ans, âge où l'arbre commence à dépérir et meurt.\n\nLes Annamites sèment la graine de Bac Giai qua dans la terre fumée; elle sort de les semis de 2 à 3 ans; quand l'arbre a de 0,20 à 0,30, c'est-à-dire de 2 à 3 ans, ils le déplantent et le repiquent; un arbuste de cette taille est vendu 7 à 8 tiens. L'arbuste repiqué est abandonné à lui-même.\n\nLa deuxième région, c'est-à-dire le bas du Delta, produit presque exclusivement du riz et du coton. Elle est limitée au nord-ouest par l'arroyo de Pha-Nho; au nord par la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day, à l'est par la mer, et au sud par la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare du Thanh Hoa; elle est formée de terrains montagneux dans sa partie sud-ouest, et dans sa partie est de terrains d'alluvions qui s'accroissent de jour en jour.\n\nLes terres qui forment cette partie de la province sont légères, sablonneuses et également propres à la culture du riz, du coton, du mûrier et des plantes potagères annamites.\n\nL'agriculture fournit au commerce du riz, du coton et du thé annamite. Dans le huyen de Kim-Son, un commerce assez important de joncs pour nattes se fait avec la Chine.\n\nPendant ce mois, les agriculteurs se sont livrés au repiquage des rizières pour la récolte du cinquième mois, ont cueilli les diverses espèces de tubercules semés en mars, l'année précédente.\n\nLe prix du picul de riz ordinaire a été...",

Les différences qui existent entre le taux de la piastre de Ninh Binh et celui d'Hanoi et d'Haïphong font que ces prix sont intérieurement à ceux de ces deux places. Les nombreux achats de boeufs faits dans le courant de ce mois ont élevé leur prix au Thanh Hoa et l'ont porté de 50 ligatures à 65 et 70 ligatures.\n\nL'industrie dans la province est fort peu développée, on ne peut guère signaler que dans le Phu Nho une fabrique de fers forgés, nécessaires à l'agriculture, et de lances. Les Muongs fabriquent eux-mêmes dans les montagnes des fusils à mèche de forme spéciale, mais en bien petit nombre et ne pouvant faire l'objet d'un commerce. Il en est de même de leurs soies (Pha Lao), peut-être d'une qualité supérieure à celle des Annamites et qu'ils ne semblent vouloir produire que pour les besoins de leur consommation.\n\nLe commerce du riz, le plus important de la province, se fait un peu à Ninh-Binh, mais surtout à Phat-Diem et à l'embouchure du Day. Ce dernier point me paraît appelé un jour à être l'un des points les plus importants du commerce au Tonkin et peut-être le grand port de l'avenir. Les jonques de mer si nombreuses qui font le cabotage entre toutes les côtes de l'Annam et le Tonkin, pénètrent dans les provinces du Delta où elles vont échanger leur sel et leur saumure contre le riz qui leur manque, par l'embouchure du Day où les agents des grands centres de commerce viennent acheter leur cargaison. D'un autre côté, c'est par cette voie seulement que pendant une partie de l'année les fortes canonnières peuvent remonter à Hanoi. Un chenal creusé facilement dans la barre du fleuve le rendrait accessible aux navires à vapeur de fort tonnage et offrirait au commerce de tout le Delta des avantages incontestables que ne saurait leur offrir l'embouchure du Cua-Cam.\n\nUn moment interrompus, par suite d'une baisse considérable survenue sur le marché de Hong Kong, les achats de riz ont repris depuis quelques jours dans la province.\n\nPar suite de ces achats, les riz, dont les prix courants étaient de 7 à 8 ligatures, se vendent 9 ligatures le picul.\n\nPendant cette saison, les transactions sur les cotons sont à peu près nulles. Les grandes exportations qui se font couramment en Chine de coton d'Hainan sont ralenties en ce moment.\n\nLes bois de construction venant du Thanh-Toa sont toujours l'objet d'un grand commerce sur le marché de Phat-Diem.\n\n## AVIS & COMMUNICATIONS \n\n### Ministère de l'instruction publique, des beaux-arts et des cultes\n\n#### Académie de Paris.

Aux États-Unis, notamment, de nombreux imprimés provenant de France tombent en rebut pour ce seul motif.\n\nIl est donc recommandé, dans leur propre intérêt, aux expéditeurs et plus particulièrement aux éditeurs de publications périodiques, de revêtir les journaux et imprimés à destination des pays d'outre-mer, de bandes larges et assez consistantes pour résister au frottement qui se produit dans le trajet. Les paquets pesants et volumineux doivent, en outre, être consolidés au moyen de ficelles disposées de manière à être facilement dénouées.\n\nEnfin, la reproduction, sur l'exemplaire même, de l'adresse que porte la bande ou enveloppe extérieure, peut être considérée comme une précaution utile.\n\n## SÉNAT \n\n**Séance ordinaire 1888**\n\nMM. les sénateurs sont informés que les obsèques de M.

(Signed) LYONS.\n\nInclosure in No. 5.\n\nExtract from \"Le Temps\" of February 11, 1886.\n\nCE matin, M. de Freycinet, Président du Conseil, a reçu une délégation du groupe industriel et commercial, composée de MM. Dautresme, Président; Méline, Mézières, Vice-Présidents; Prevet et Pernolet, Secrétaires; Félix Faure, Ricard, Siegfried, Duvivier, Dupouy, et Pesson.\n\nCes messieurs ont fait connaître à M. le Président du Conseil les vues du groupe sur le régime Douanier à établir dans nos possessions d'Indo-Chine.\n\nIls ont vivement insisté sur la nécessité d'accorder la franchise à l'importation des produits Français, en appliquant aux produits étrangers les Tarifs de la métropole.\n\nM. le Président du Conseil a déclaré qu'en principe il ne faisait aucune objection à la proposition qui lui était faite; que son plus ferme désir était aussi de considérer nos Colonies comme prolongement du territoire Français; que la seule difficulté qu'il entrevoyait était d'ordre purement financier, les recettes de Douanes étant destinées à alléger les dépenses du Protectorat.\n\nÁ cette objection, les délégués ont répondu qu'en supposant que ce supplément de recettes fût nécessaire il leur paraissait facile de trouver des taxes intérieures suffisant pour le compenser.\n\nM. le Président du Conseil a paru frappé de cette observation; il a promis de donner à notre Résident-Général des instructions \"conformes aux idées qui venaient d'être échangées et de hâter la solution d'une question qui intéresse au plus haut degré le commerce et l'industrie de la France.\n\nM. de Freycinet a même ajouté que dans sa pensée cette solution pourrait être obtenue d'ici au mois de Juin prochain.\n\nNo. 6.\n\nViscount Lyons to the Earl of Rosebery.--(Received February 13.)\n\n(No. 30.

My Lord,\n\nParis, February 12, 1886.\n\nFROM the account which I had the honour to send to your Lordship with my commercial despatch of yesterday, of an interview between M. de Freycinet and a deputation of Protectionist Deputies, it appeared that the system of customs duties for Tonquin, Annam, and French possessions and Protectorates in the Far East which was regarded with favour, was one under which French products would be admitted altogether free of duty, while the Customs Tariff of the mother country would be applied to all other products.\n\nI have herewith the honour to transmit to your Lordship a copy of a letter on the subject, which has been published in the newspapers by M. Félix Faure, who was one of the deputation and who was formerly Under-Secretary of State for the Department of Marine and Colonies.",

        "content_text": "2\n\nBy our Treaty with the Netherlands of the 17th March, 1824, Her Britannic Majesty only engaged that no British establishment should be made on any of the islands south of the Straits of Singapore, nor any Treaty concluded by British authority with the Chiefs of those islands, but neither the Caroline Islands nor the Pelew Islands are to the south of those straits.\n\nAgain, the Protocol signed between this country, Spain, and Germany, on the 11th March, 1877, had sole reference to the Sulu Archipelago, which is situated far to the westward of the Pelew group, and with which it has no connection whatever.\n\nIn 1874 the Spanish Consul at Hong Kong put forward a claim to the sovereignty of Spain over the \"Caroline or Pelew Islands;\" but the Admiralty reported (Colonial Office, the 12th November, 1874), that neither Great Britain nor any other Government claimed sovereignty over them; and, on the 4th March, 1875, the British and German Ministers at Madrid, by direction of their respective Governments, protested to the Spanish Government against the claim which had been advanced by the Spanish Consul at Hong Kong, on the ground that Spain had never exercised any dominion over those islands.\n\nA suggestion was then made, by the British Consul at Manila, that a British ship of war should be sent to the Caroline Islands for the purpose of surveying and making Trade Conventions with the natives; but although Lord Carnarvon saw no objection to the proposal, the idea was not carried out.\n\nIn 1876 the Spanish authorities in Manila again put forward the pretension of Spain to sovereignty over the Pelew or Caroline Islands, and as these pretensions interfered with the freedom of trade in those waters, Count Münster (who had brought these facts to the knowledge of Her Majesty's Government) was informed that the British Government was of opinion that the interests of the freedom of trade in the Eastern Archipelago required that these exaggerated pretensions on the part of Spanish officials, with or without the sanction of their Government, should be firmly resisted; and that they were, therefore, prepared to join with the German Government, if the latter should concur, in instructing their Representatives at Madrid to make further and energetic representations against any interference with the free action of the subjects of the two countries, owing to any assumption of sovereignty which was unfounded and which they did not acknowledge; but as the Sulu question was then under discussion, it was determined to await the result of those negotiations before addressing any further protest to the Spanish Government with regard to the Caroline and Pelew Islands.\n\nQ. 2. Are all these islands subject to their own native Chiefs? P4. The Caroline and Pelew Archipelago consists of above forty groups, containing between 300 and 400 islands, and they extend over a space of 1,530 miles.\n\nIt is presumed they are subject to their own native Chiefs; but their independence has never been formally acknowledged or guaranteed by this country.\n\nQ. 3. To whom belong such of these islands as are uninhabited?-A. It is difficult to give a satisfactory answer to this question.\n\nQ. 4. What steps should be taken to secure the possession of them?-A. It is difficult to give a satisfactory answer to this question.\n\nQ. 5. Is it known that the Dutch claim the sovereignty over the Pacific, south of 5° north latitude and west of 142° east longitude, including the western part of New Guinea and all the islands adjacent, including St. David's Island, belonging to the Sultan of Tidore, who is said to be under Dutch protection?-A. The boundaries of the Dutch possessions in the Eastern Seas are thus described in a letter from the Acting Consul-General for Netherlands India to the Colonial Secretary at Singapore, dated the 3rd June, 1880:\n\n\"En Asie, les Colonies et les possessions du Royaume des Pays-Bas, constituant le territoire des Indes Néerlandaises, sont situées entre 6° latitude septentrionale et 11° latitude méridionale, et entre 95° et 141° longitude orientale (Greenwich).\n\n\"Ces Colonies et ces possessions comprennent l'île de Sumatra avec les îles voisines appartenant; les archipels de Bintang ou Riouw et de Lingga; les îles de Karimou, de Tambelan, d'Anambas, et de Natuena; le groupe de Banea et de Billiton, avec les îles environnantes; Java avec Madura et les îlots d'alentour; Bornéo, à l'exception de la partie du côté du nord-ouest et du nord, du Cap Datoe jusqu'à Batoe Zenagat (4° 21′ latitude septentrionale et 117° 53′ longitude orientale) les îles situées autour de Bornéo au Sud de ces deux points; Célèbes et toutes les autres les vers l'est de Borneo et de Java, jusqu'au degré 141 longitude orientale, et vers le midi de l'archipel de Solok et de Mindanao, jusqu'au 11 degré latitude meridionale excepté Timor-Deli.\"\n\n3\n\nIt will be seen from the accompanying Map that this general description might include the Island of St. David, to the north of New Guinea, but it is not known for certain whether such was their intention.\n\nAt any rate, this description has never been formally accepted by the British Government as accurately describing the Dutch Colonial possessions.\n\nMr. Langen's previous letter to the Colonial Office is sent herewith.\n\n(Signed) Foreign Office, April 14, 1881.\n\nX\n\nE.

Cet arrangement spécial a été signé à Tien-Tsin, le 23 avril dernier, et la Cour de Pékin vient de le ratifier: il est annexé au projet de loi que nous avons l'honneur de soumettre à votre approbation.\n\nAvant de passer en revue les clauses de cette convention, il paraît nécessaire de rappeler tout d'abord les termes des stipulations du 9 juin 1885, qui sont la base des nouveaux rapports résultant, entre la France et la Chine, de l'établissement de notre protectorat sur l'Annam et le Tonkin. Elles sont ainsi conçues :\n\nArticle premier.\n\nLes Chinois, colons ou anciens soldats, qui vivent paisiblement en Annam, en s'y livrant à l'agriculture, à l'industrie ou au commerce, et dont la conduite ne donne lieu à aucun reproche, jouiront pour leurs personnes et pour leurs biens de la même sécurité que les protégés français.\n\nArt. 2.\n\nLa Chine, décidée à ne rien faire qui puisse compromettre l'œuvre de pacification entreprise par la France, s'engage à respecter, dans le présent et dans l'avenir, les traités, conventions et arrangements directement intervenus ou à intervenir entre la France et l'Annam.\n\nArt. 4.\n\nLorsque la frontière aura été reconnue, les Français ou protégés français et les habitants étrangers du Tonkin qui\n\n3\n\nNo 898\n\nvoudront la franchir pour se rendre en Chine, ne pourront le faire qu'après s'être munis préalablement de passeports délivrés par les autorités chinoises de la frontière sur la demande des autorités françaises. Pour les sujets chinois, il suffira d'une autorisation délivrée par les autorités impériales de la frontière.\n\nLes sujets chinois qui voudront se rendre de Chine au Tonkin, par la voie de terre, devront être munis de passeports réguliers, délivrés par les autorités françaises sur la demande des autorités impériales.\n\nArt. 5.\n\nLe commerce d'importation et d'exportation sera permis aux négociants français ou protégés français et aux négociants chinois par la frontière de terre entre la Chine et le Tonkin. Il devra se faire toutefois par certains points qui seront déterminés ultérieurement et dont le choix ainsi que le nombre seront en rapports avec la direction comme avec l'importance du trafic entre les deux pays. Il sera tenu compte, à cet égard, des règlements en vigueur dans l'intérieur de l'empire chinois.\n\nEn tout état de cause deux de ces points seront désignés sur la frontière chinoise, l'un au-dessus de Lao-Kaï, l'autre au-delà de Lang-Son.\n\nLes commerçants français pourront s'y fixer dans les mêmes conditions et avec les mêmes avantages que dans les ports ouverts au commerce étranger. Le gouvernement de Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine y installera des douanes et le Gouvernement de la République pourra y entretenir des consuls dont les privilèges et les attributions seront identiques à ceux des agents de même ordre dans les ports ouverts.\n\nDe son côté, Sa Majesté l'empereur de Chine pourra, d'accord avec le Gouvernement français, nommer des consuls dans les principales villes du Tonkin.\n\n226",

Ce règlement sera élaboré par des commissaires qui seront nommés par les Hautes Parties contractantes dans un délai de trois mois après la signature du présent traité.\n\nLes marchandises faisant l'objet de ce commerce seront soumises, à l'entrée et à la sortie, entre le Tonkin et les provinces du Yunnan et du Kouang-Si, à des droits inférieurs à ceux que stipule le tarif actuel du commerce étranger. Toutefois, le tarif réduit ne sera pas appliqué aux marchandises transportées par la frontière terrestre entre le Tonkin et le Kouang-Tong et n'aura pas d'effet dans les ports déjà ouverts par les traités.\n\nArt. 7.\n\nEn vue de développer, dans les conditions les plus avantageuses, les relations de commerce et de bon voisinage que le présent traité a pour objet de rétablir entre la France et la Chine, le Gouvernement de la République construira des routes au Tonkin et y encouragera la construction des chemins de fer.\n\nLorsque, de son côté, la Chine aura décidé de construire des voies ferrées, il est entendu qu'elle s'adressera à l'industrie française, et le Gouvernement de la République française lui donnera toutes les facilités pour se procurer en France le personnel dont elle aura besoin. Il est entendu aussi que cette clause ne peut être considérée comme constituant un privilège exclusif en faveur de la France.\n\nLes stipulations commerciales du présent traité et les règlements à intervenir pourront être révisés après un intervalle de dix ans révolus, à partir du jour de l'échange des ratifications du présent traité. Mais, au cas où six mois avant ce terme, ni l'une ni l'autre des Hautes Parties contractantes n'aurait manifesté le désir de procéder à la révision, les stipulations commerciales resteraient en vigueur pour un nouveau terme de dix ans et ainsi de suite.\n\nArt. 10.\n\nLes dispositions des anciens traités et conventions entre la France et la Chine, non modifiées par le présent traité, restent en pleine vigueur.\n\nLa mission des plénipotentiaires chargés de négocier l'arrangement, prévu par le traité du 9 juin 1885, se trouvait nettement déterminée par les articles que nous venons de citer. Il ne devait pas être touché aux dispositions qui régissent nos relations avec la Chine dans les ports de l'Empire ouverts au commerce étranger, mais des dispositions analogues, appropriées aux conditions du commerce par terre, devaient être adoptées, en ce qui concerne les rapports à établir entre le Tonkin et les provinces chinoises limitrophes, et il était entendu que le tarif applicable à nos échanges avec le Yunnan et le Kouang-Si serait inférieur à celui qui est en vigueur dans les ports ouverts. Il s'agissait, d'autre part, de fixer le régime auquel seraient soumis les Chinois en Annam et les Annamites en Chine.\n\nAinsi que vous le verrez, Messieurs, ces diverses questions ont été réglées dans la convention du 23 avril 1886. Le préambule de cet acte rappelle, d'ailleurs, que les anciens traités, accords et conventions conclus entre la France et la Chine...\n\n2",

Nous aurions préféré que ces deux points fussent désignés dans la présente convention, mais la détermination de la frontière n'a pas été achevée en temps utile pour qu'ils pussent être choisis après les études nécessaires, et d'autre part, il y avait intérêt à ne pas retarder la mise en vigueur des nombreuses clauses de la convention qui sont indépendantes de la fixation des frontières. Nous avons dès lors laissé provisoirement en blanc les noms des marchés commerciaux à établir. C'est ainsi que les Puissances ont procédé en 1858, en ce qui concerne l'ouverture des ports situés sur le cours du Yang-Tse.\n\nLes voies commerciales de Lang-Son et de Lao-Kaï étant les seules actuellement connues, nous n'avions pas à demander, pour le moment, que des localités fussent ouvertes au commerce dans d'autres directions, mais notre droit à cet égard a été réservé, et des arrangements nouveaux interviendraient s'il était démontré que les échanges peuvent emprunter d'autres routes, soit entre Lang-Son et la mer, soit entre Lao-Kaï et Lang-Son.\n\nLes marchés dont l'article premier stipule l'ouverture, doivent être pour le commerce par terre ce que sont pour le commerce maritime les ports ouverts. C'est là que la Chine établira ses bureaux de douanes, et la France aura la faculté d'y envoyer des consuls qui auront les mêmes pouvoirs d'administration, de juridiction et de police que les agents français établis dans les autres régions de l'Empire.\n\nN° 898\n\nd'administration, de juridiction et de police que les agents français établis dans les autres régions de l'Empire.\n\nArticle 2. De son côté, le Gouvernement chinois ne pourra, quant à présent, nommer de consuls qu'à Hanoï et à Haï-Phong; ces agents auront les mêmes droits que les consuls étrangers établis en France et ils seront soumis aux mêmes obligations. L'exequatur devra être demandé au Gouvernement français, et il pourra leur être retiré. Ils n'auront de rapport qu'avec les autorités françaises chargées du protectorat et ne possèderont aucune attribution judiciaire.\n\nL'article 3 garantit aux Français qui s'établiront dans les localités chinoises à ouvrir au commerce sur la frontière, des conditions aussi favorables que celles dont ils jouissent dans les ports ouverts en vertu du traité de 1858. Le même traitement privilégié est assuré aux Annamites.\n\nA charge de réciprocité pour les Français en Chine, l'article 4 conserve aux Chinois en Annam le droit de posséder des terrains, d'élever des constructions, d'ouvrir des maisons de commerce et d'avoir des magasins. Bien entendu, nous leur garantissons également sécurité et protection pour leurs personnes et pour leurs biens, mais notre droit de les soumettre aux taxes, dont le maintien ou la création serait jugé nécessaire, reste intact.\n\nLes dispositions de l'article 5 ne sont que le développement des principes posés dans l'article 4 du traité de paix, en ce qui concerne la délivrance des passeports à destination de la Chine ou du Tonkin. C'est aux autorités françaises qu'il appartiendra, même pour les étrangers établis au Tonkin, de demander les passeports dont devront être munis les voyageurs qui pénètreront en Chine par cette frontière. Les Chinois ne pourront également entrer au Tonkin que s'ils sont porteurs de passeports délivrés par les autorités françaises.\n\nQuant aux Français qui s'établiront dans les localités chinoises ouvertes à la frontière, ils auront le droit de circuler...\n\n228",

Nous avons obtenu une réduction d'un cinquième sur le tarif du commerce étranger, pour les produits qui pénètreront dans l'Empire par cette voie : nos commerçants n'auront donc à supporter qu'un droit d'entrée de 4 0/0 de la valeur, pour tous les articles dénommés dans le tarif général de la Chine, c'est-à-dire pour les principaux produits étrangers importés dans ce pays. \n\nConformément à ses instructions, le plénipotentiaire français avait demandé une réduction d'un tiers, afin que les produits qui entreront en Chine par le Tonkin fussent, en matière de tarif, placés dans des conditions de complète égalité avec ceux que la Russie importe par la frontière septentrionale de l'Empire. Mais la Chine a fait valoir que la voie du Tonkin étant beaucoup plus courte, les marchandises qui l'emprunteraient seraient grevés de frais de transport beaucoup moins lourds que les produits importés par les caravanes russes. La différence entre les droits réclamés à la frontière nord et ceux fixés pour la frontière sud sera d'ailleurs de moins de 1 0/0 (0.66 0/0). La Chine a, au surplus, consenti, ainsi qu'on le verra plus loin, à nous concéder éventuellement le bénéfice des nouveaux tarifs qu'elle pourrait accorder à une tierce puissance sur sa frontière du sud-ouest, par exemple du côté de la Birmanie, dont la situation géographique, par rapport à l'Empire, n'est pas sans analogie avec celle du Tonkin. \n\nEn ce qui concerne les articles non dénommés au tarif chinois du commerce étranger, le droit reste fixé à 5 0/0 pour la voie du Tonkin comme pour la voie russe. \n\nToutes les marchandises importées dans les localités ouvertes resteront entreposées en douane jusqu'à ce que les droits d'entrée aient été payés. \n\nIndépendamment de ces droits, on sait qu'il est perçu sur les routes de Chine, sous le nom de droit de barrière et de droit de likin, des taxes fort onéreuses. D'après les règlements généraux du commerce maritime étranger, les marchandises accompagnées d'un permis de circulation appelé passe de transit doivent être affranchies de ces taxes intérieures, mais la délivrance des passes entraîne la perception d'un droit de circulation ou de transit qui représente 2 1/2 0/0 de la valeur. Les produits qui seront envoyés dans l'intérieur de l'empire par les localités ouvertes au commerce de terre auront à payer également un droit de 2 1/2 0/0 : à cette condition, ils pourront circuler librement en Chine et il est expressément stipulé qu'aucune perception nouvelle ne sera faite au passage des barrières et des bureaux de likin. \n\nLe régime des passes de transit n'est d'ailleurs pas obligatoire: les négociants peuvent, s'ils le préfèrent, choisir le régime indigène, et ils y trouvent avantage lorsqu'ils n'ont à envoyer leurs marchandises qu'à une courte distance. \n\nDes dispositions analogues sont insérées dans l'article 7, en ce qui concerne la circulation des produits expédiés de l'intérieur de la Chine à destination du Tonkin. Mais, à la sortie du territoire chinois, ces marchandises bénéficieront d'un régime de faveur : la Chine a consenti à réduire d'un tiers le droit de 5 0/0 qu'elles auraient à supporter, si elles empruntaient la voie des ports ouverts. Les produits que nous importerons au Tonkin par la frontière de terre ne seront, en conséquence, soumis qu'à un droit de sortie de 3,33 0/0 de la valeur. Cette concession présente un réel intérêt pour notre commerce, nos achats de matières premières en Chine dépassant annuellement 78 millions de francs. \n\nEnfin, la clause finale de l'article 7 nous réserve la faculté de réclamer le bénéfice des nouveaux tarifs que la Chine, \n\n1.

Quant à la localité qui devra être ouverte au commerce au-dessus de Laokai, elle sera également déterminée d'un commun accord, à la suite des travaux de reconnaissance de la frontière entre les deux pays.\n\nArt. 2.\n\nLe Gouvernement impérial pourra nommer des Consuls à Hanoi et à Haï-phong.

Ces pénalités devront être prononcées dans les conditions et selon la procédure fixées par le règlement du 31 mai 1868.\n\nDans tous les cas où la confiscation aura été prononcée, le négociant pourra libérer ses marchandises moyennant le versement d'une somme équivalente à leur valeur dûment déterminée par une entente avec les autorités chinoises.\n\nLes autorités chinoises auront toute liberté d'aviser aux mesures à prendre en Chine, le long de la frontière, pour empêcher la contrebande.\n\nLes marchandises descendant ou remontant les voies navigables à bord de bateaux français, annamites ou chinois ne devront pas être nécessairement débarquées à la frontière, à moins qu'il n'y ait apparence de fraude ou divergence entre l'état de la cargaison et les déclarations du manifeste. La douane ne pourra qu'envoyer à bord desdits bateaux des agents pour en faire la visite.\n\nArt. 11.\n\nLes produits d'origine chinoise importés au Tonkin par la frontière de terre auront à acquitter le droit d'importation du tarif franco-annamite. Ils ne payeront aucun droit d'exportation à la sortie du Tonkin. Il sera donné communication au Gouvernement impérial du nouveau tarif que la France établira au Tonkin.\n\nS'il est établi au Tonkin des taxes d'accise, de consommation ou de garantie sur certains articles de production indigène, les produits similaires chinois auront à subir, à l'importation, des taxes équivalentes.\n\nLes marchandises chinoises qui seraient transportées à travers le Tonkin d'une des deux douanes frontières vers l'autre douane frontière ou vers un port annamite, pour être de là exportées en Chine, seront soumises à un droit spécifique de transit qui ne dépassera pas 2% de la valeur; au point de sortie du territoire chinois, ces marchandises devront être reconnues par l'autorité douanière française de la frontière, qui en spécifiera la nature, la quantité et la destination dans des certificats d'origine destinés à être produits à toute réquisition des autorités françaises, durant le parcours à travers le Tonkin, ainsi qu'au port de transbordement.\n\nAfin de garantir la douane franco-annamite contre toute fraude possible, ces produits chinois acquitteront à l'entrée du Tonkin le droit d'importation.\n\nUn passe-debout les accompagnera jusqu'à la sortie soit par le port de transbordement, soit à la frontière terrestre, et les sommes versées par le propriétaire des marchandises lui seront, déduction faite du droit de transit, restituées à ce moment, s'il y a lieu, en échange du récipissé délivré par les douanes du Tonkin.\n\nToute fausse déclaration ou manœuvre tendant d'une manière évidente à tromper l'administration française sur la qualité, la quantité, la réelle provenance ou la réelle destination des marchandises appelées à jouîr du traitement spécial applicable aux produits chinois qui traverseront le Tonkin en transit, donnera lieu à la confiscation des marchandises.\n\nDans tous les cas où la confiscation aura été prononcée, le négociant pourra libérer ses marchandises moyennant le payement d'une somme équivalente à leur valeur dûment déterminée par une entente avec les autorités françaises.\n\nLes mêmes règles et la même taxe de transit seront applicables en Annam aux marchandises chinoises qui seraient expédiées d'un port de Chine vers un port annamite pour gagner, de là, les douanes frontières chinoises à travers le Tonkin.\n\nArt. 13.\n\nLes articles suivants : L'or et l'argent en barres;\n\nLa monnaie étrangère;\n\nLa farine, la farine de maïs, le sagou;\n\nLe biscuit;\n\nLes conserves de viandes et de légumes;\n\nLe fromage, le beurre, les sucreries; Les vêtements étrangers;\n\nLa bijouterie;\n\nL'argenterie;\n\nLa parfumerie;\n\nLes savons de toute espèce; Le charbon de bois;\n\n235",

I am directed by the Earl of Iddesleigh to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th May, inclosing a despatch from the Officer administering the Government of Hong Kong, relative to the case of Cheung-a-Chi, whose extradition has been applied for by the Chinese authorities, and requesting to be informed whether Mr. Marsh's action in the matter should be approved.\n\nI am, in reply, to transmit to you two despatches from Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking, in which he reports the dissatisfaction of the Chinese Government at the manner in which extradition cases under Article XXI of the Treaty of Tien-tsin are dealt with in Hong Kong.* There is great difficulty in forming an opinion here as to the sufficiency of \"the proof of guilt\" which is required by the Treaty.\n\nIn the case of the eleven fugitives whose surrender was refused about two years ago, the Law Officers in 1885 differed from their predecessors in 1884 as to the sufficiency of the proof.\n\nThe former were of opinion that the \"proof of guilt\" was sufficient, while the latter had grave doubts, but on the whole reported in favour of the conclusion arrived at by the Governor in Council. I am to inclose (confidentially) copies of their Reports.†\n\nAs regards the present case of Cheung-a-Chi, Lord Iddesleigh is not prepared to say that the conclusion arrived at by the Governor of Hong Kong was wrong.\n\nIt is difficult to lay down any precise rule in such a matter, but his Lordship is disposed to think that where the magistrate has committed the fugitive on evidence which, in his opinion, constitutes a prima facie case, the extradition should not be refused unless the Governor in Council is satisfied, on a review of the evidence, that the decision of the magistrate was erroneous, either on the ground (1) that the material evidence against the alleged fugitive criminal was unworthy of belief by reason of bribery, intimidation, or other circumstances; or (2) that taking the evidence as a whole it fails to support the conclusion arrived at by the magistrate. But his Lordship thinks that the Governor in Council should in each case weigh the matter with great care, and differ from the magistrate only where he feels constrained by a strong and clear opinion so to do.\n\nHis Lordship presumes that the Governor in Council acted in that spirit in the present case. There seems reason, however, to believe that the prisoner is an old offender.\n\nIt is not unlikely, therefore, that the evidence to be adduced against him on the further sixteen charges of piracy, which it is stated are hanging over him, may be sufficient to justify his extradition.\n\nMr. Marsh's despatch is returned herewith, and I am to request that Mr. O'Conor's two despatches, which are sent herewith in original, may be returned to this Office.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nOffice or Individual,\n\nDate.\n\nHong Kong\n\nNo. No 15497\n\n(Subject.)\n\n335\n\nDOMES C.

        "content_text": "In reply to Mr. Dennys one of the witnesses stated that Macao was in Heung Shan, and that Hongkong was, geographically, in Kwangtung.\n\nHis Worship-Geographically?\n\nMr. Dennys-Yes, any Chinaman here would tell you he belonged to Kwangtung. There the question arises as to the nationality of the boat. In the case of the Arrow War, it was held that a junk registered in Hongkong, even after the register had ceased, was a British ship, and we went to war with China on the question.\n\nHis Worship-In the first place, with regard to the proceedings that have been taken so far, it will have been noticed that throughout I have made a distinction between taking evidence as regards the prima facie case and evidence as regards the defence for the prisoners. When a witness was produced before me on the part of the prosecution whose evidence was of immense weight in making out a prima facie case, seeing that cross-examination was allowed and that in the course of that cross-examination it became likely that the story told by the witness was untrue from beginning to end and that he was merely personating somebody who might have been an important witness in the case, I thought it was my duty to test the truth of the counter statement put forward in the course of cross-examination. I can scarcely think that this court is to be regarded simply as a court of registry for statements made on oath by Chinese and that it is not competent for the court, having information in its possession altogether tending to entirely upset the story told by the witness, to test that story by the merits of the other information which the court has it in its power to produce. So far therefore as the evidence of the witness Leong Ayow is concerned, I must, in deciding whether a prima facie case has been made out, look at it by the light of the whole of the evidence which has been adduced regarding that man. The Chinese Government were within their right in declining to enter into the question, but I must remember that they had the opportunity of doing so. Therefore, I go by the evidence before me. By the light of that evidence, I consider Leong Ayow's story as absolutely unworthy of credit. With regard to the whole case generally, it is of a highly unsatisfactory kind. There is a taint of collusion running through the whole of it. Witnesses are brought forward who with monotonous regularity testify to certain points connected with each prisoner which, if true, would criminally compromise each one of them, but it is a singular coincidence that of the men arrested under the eight warrants of arrest, they should be the ones who happened to be specially connected with the tying up and keeping guard over the particular witnesses who have come down on independent grounds to testify in the case. Other points have been brought forward by Mr. Dennys in his analysis of the evidence gravely tending to discredit the whole of their evidence. Considering the doubtful testimony in the case on its own merits, it becomes a point of great significance that the second prisoner should have been identified as at one and the same time keeping guard over one of the witnesses in Ma She’s house and keeping guard over another of the witnesses in the guard house, the only reason given in each case for the identification being that he was so keeping guard. It, therefore, I felt that the decision of the case finally rested with me, I should have no hesitation whatever in deciding that the case was not made out. But at this point, I am brought up by a consideration of what there is before me to guide me as to my powers.\n\nOf course, I am bound by the Ordinance No. 2 of 1850 read in conjunction with Ordinance No. 2 of 1871 and the Treaty of Tientsin. The language of that Ordinance is capable of a good deal of variety of interpretation, and in the absence of any ruling of interpretation by a court competent to deal with such matters, I feel it would not be proper for me to strain my powers, but that I should leave doubtful points for decision to be forced upon me by mandamus from the Supreme Court or by such other constitutional ways as there are for enforcing orders on the magistrate. For my own information and guidance, I have the following extract of a letter from the Government:---\n\nHis Excellency desires to call the attention of the Magistrates to section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1850: according to which the Magistrate is to commit when there is probable cause for believing the accused has committed a crime. The Privy Council in the case of the Attorney-General of Hongkong vs. Kwok A Sing had to consider the meaning of this Ordinance and the powers and duties and speak of prima facie evidence and of the sufficiency of prima facie evidence to justify the Magistrate in committing. There is no doubt that \"probable cause\" and \"prima facie evidence\" are anonymous terms. By the Treaty of Tientsin, this Government, certain requirements being complied with, is to deliver criminals who have taken refuge in Hongkong. Magistrates cannot require such proof of guilt as would warrant a conviction. It is their duty under the Ordinance above mentioned to commit as soon as a prima facie case has been made out, and his Excellency, in calling the attention of the Magistrates to the Ordinance and to the case above cited, would suggest that they should restrict their inquiry accordingly, as he is of opinion that to require complete proof would be going contrary to the provisions of the Treaty and the clear enactments of the Ordinance.\n\nIn the absence, therefore, of authoritative judicial dicta, I take my stand upon the principles laid down for my guidance in what I have just read. The question then arises, has a prima facie case been made out? And in deciding whether a prima facie case has been made out, is it competent for the other side to call witnesses for the defence? I am clearly of opinion that to call witnesses for the defence would be travelling beyond the province of my powers in this case; it would be constituting me judge of the merits of the whole case rather than judge of the point whether a case for the prosecution was established. I therefore decline to receive evidence on behalf of the defence. As to whether a prima facie case has been made out, that also has to depend in a great measure upon what one may conceive to be the requirements of a prima facie case, and I am inclined to think so long as there is evidence which, whatever I may think, I am nevertheless unable to say is false, to that extent and to that extent only is the case made out. Had there been any other evidence forthcoming of the same kind as that which has been adduced in the case of Leong Ayow, I should have taken it into consideration. If, for instance, it had been proved to me that one of the watchmen was, say, at the time this affair is supposed to have taken place a constable in the Police Force of Hongkong, I should clearly have considered it within my right to take evidence on such a point. Or again, had the woman who describes herself as the amah of Yow Ma She been known to be all the time in the domestic employ of some one in Hongkong, I should also have considered it right to take such evidence. But merely contradictory evidence, such as that of an alibi, or evidence of that kind, I consider would not be within my power to allow. Considering, then, all that has been urged by the defence as against the evidence for the prosecution, admitting that it is tainted throughout, and that if I were in the position of a jury or the final decision rested with me, I should unhesitatingly throw it on one side, I nevertheless admit that to the extent of evidence having been given criminating the prisoners, there is a prima facie case made out against them. I shall therefore commit the prisoners for safe custody to prison and shall direct the gaoler to detain them in prison until he shall receive some order from the Governor of Hongkong relative to the further detention, discharge, or transmission of such persons to the nearest Chinese authorities or to such other Chinese authorities as the Governor shall think fit. And in transmitting, as by Ordinance I am bound to do, the minutes of the investigation and the documents connected with the charge, I shall state what I have stated to-day, and it will then rest with the Government to decide on their final action. Looking at the case from this point of view, the Governor appears to me to have very much the same duties as the Attorney-General or the Grand Jury. He decides on the detention, discharge, or transmission of the accused.\n\nMr. Dennys-He has no evidence before him on behalf of the defendants. The Grand Jury has, so has the Attorney-General.\n\nHis Worship-The minutes of the evidence go before him.\n\nMr. Dennys-But not evidence for the defence. I merely throw that out.\n\nPage 194",

En avant de ces forts de petites maisons carrées en briques peintes en blanc servent d'avancées au camp Chinois; enfin, en amont de Binki un barrage complète la défense du Song-ki-kung.\n\nPar cette rivière on met à peine un jour pour descendre à Long-tchéou. Aussi trouve-t-on à Binki des sampans et des radeaux formant des maisons flottantes comme on en voit sur la rivière de Canton.\n\nDe la frontière du Tonkin à Long-tchéou et de là par la rivière de Canton et la mer on a donc une voie navigable à sa disposition, ce qui est fort important à retenir.\n\nPage 628\nPage 437",

I presume a copy of it will be submitted to the Secretary of State.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART.\n\n## Governor's Minute\n\nYes: saying that I concur with his recommendations. The only doubt I have on the subject of small coins is whether the amount obtained should be equal each quarter. I understood from Mr. JACKSON the other day that the demand is far greater at the Chinese New Year, and the question therefore suggests itself whether the amounts obtained should not be, say, $400,000 to arrive about 1st January, and the balance of $1,000,000 in equal amounts at the other three quarters. It would be well for Mr. LISTER to give me his views, after talking the matter over with Mr. JACKSON.\n\nG. WILLIAM DES VOUX.\n\n## 21st February, 1888.\n\nHONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,\n\nWith reference to His Excellency the Governor's minute on C.S.O. 423 (Treasury Balances), I have seen Mr. JACKSON on the subject of the regular supply of subsidiary coins.\n\nI find the same consideration had occurred to Mr. JACKSON as has been presented to my own mind, viz., that an over-supply, or even a considerable reserve of these coins involves a serious loss of interest.\n\nIt seems more prudent to increase the supply by degrees till the limit of demand is reached, than to risk having a large dead balance lying idle here. I agree with Mr. JACKSON that the following shipments would in all probability meet the necessities of the case;-\n\n| Date       | Amount   |\n|------------|----------|\n| January 1st| $250,000 |\n| April 1st  | $150,000 |\n| July 1st   | $150,000 |\n| October 1st| $200,000 |\n| Total      | $750,000 |\n\nThe extra quantities for October 1st and January 1st are in view of the demand which sets in from about October for the Chinese New Year.\n\nIf the Crown Agents were instructed to take such measures as might ensure the regular arrival of coins in the above quantities, I think it is probable there will be no further trouble about the subject for some years to come.\n\nThe percentages of each denomination of coin should be as at present.\n\nIf the above quantities are insufficient they might be increased. With proper watchfulness it ought to be possible to regulate the supply so as to keep pace with the demand, the balance left over from one shipment when the next arrives never greatly exceeding $5,000. But this of course presupposes that the coins will arrive regularly, and that, if an increased supply be asked for, it will be sent as a matter of course.\n\nSubmitted for His Excellency's consideration.\n\n28th February, 1888.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART.\n\n## Governor's Minute\n\nLet all the minutes on the subject be sent to the Secretary of State, with recommendation of the last proposal of Mr. LISTER in his minute dated February 28th, commencing \"with reference,\" and ending \"of course.\"\n\n29th February, 1888.\n\nG.

Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 24 on the first day of August in the year in which the Examination is held, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that they are duly qualified in respect of health and character. They must be of sound constitution, possessed of good sight, and physically qualified for service in tropical climates, and they will be called upon to undergo a medical examination to test these points.\n\n3. No Candidate will be admitted to the competition who has not previously passed to the satisfaction of the Civil Service Commissioners a Preliminary Examination in Handwriting, Orthography, and Arithmetic (including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions).\n\n4. The fees required from candidates are £1 for the preliminary and £5 for the competitive examination.\n\n5. The heads of the competitive examination are as follows:-\n\n| **Subjects** | **Description** |\n| --- | --- |\n| **A. Obligatory** |  |\n| a.

STEWART, L.L.D., Colonial Secretary, &c. \n\nHongkong 14th November, 1888. \n\nI have the honour to address you with reference to the remarks of His Excellency the Governor, at a Meeting of the Legislative Council, held on the 12th November 1888, on the proposed system of drainage for the City of Victoria. \n\n\"The Daily Press of the 13th November reports as follows:- \n\n## The Report on the Separate Drainage System. \n\n\"The COLONIAL SECRETARY laid on the table the report on the separate system of main drainage by Mr. COOPER and an accompanying letter from the SURVEYOR GENERAL.\" \n\n## Governor's Speech at the Legislative Council, 12th Nov. 1888. \n\n\"His EXCELLENCY--With reference to this report on the main drainage system, I trust the members after reading it will come to the conclusion I have done, that in the absence of any authoritative opinion to the contrary, the opinions of the gentlemen who have made the reports are very strong presumptive evidence that this drainage system is necessary and desirable for the colony. There are only two officers that we know of competent to express an opinion on this scheme. They express a strong opinion in its favour. And though of course we may vote the money here, it does not necessarily follow the drainage system now recommended will be carried out. I am sure in such an important matter, the subject as a whole, with all the facts and opinions expressed here, will be referred to the highest engineering authorities in England, and the result will very much depend on their verdict. I have seen opinions unfavourable to this scheme in the public press coming from persons who claim to be able to express an opinion upon it. I don't know how far that may influence public opinion here; of course that depends on the weight of the supposed author's authority; but all I can say is that the Government cannot be influenced by it in the slightest degree unless that person, whoever he is, comes forward with his professional name and states his objections like a man. If there are any strong objections to the scheme and any one of adequate professional authority comes forward to state those objections, not only will I send them to the Secretary of State, but I have not the slightest doubt they would receive due consideration. Until that is done, whatever weight it may have with the public, it cannot be regarded by the Government. If anybody really and honestly feels that there are these objections to the scheme, I say it is his bounden duty as a man to come forward over his own name and sign his objections. As to the vote connected with this, I say if the Council are of opinion it is desirable to pass it, that only means that it places the Secretary of State in a position to lay the matter before the highest authorities in England, and places us in a position to carry out the scheme if their opinion is favourable. I say distinctly that as far as unprofessional man can form an opinion on the subject, these reports are in my opinion conclusive, and I believe hon. members will form a stronger opinion in its favour the more carefully they read the reports.\"",

        "content_text": "I am to thin that there would be necessity to your necessity to report Balances every day, as indicated by M. Lister, who states that it is not meant that the maximum should never be exceeded by a single dollar for a single day, but only that care should be taken to keep it down. When, for instance, a large surplus is not remitted to England because a particularly heavy Expenditure is anticipated a few weeks' time in the Colony, surplus should be set aside.\n\nThe threat of the profits to be made by interest is not to be compared with the possible risk of loss if large deposits are lying idle in a Bank when the Bank fails, as happened to the Bank of Penha (like that of Mauspad) which had the misfortune to suspend payment; `C+20005/83`, `Cmf.com.(19844/33)`.\n\nAs to the difficulty the Hongkong Bank itself faced when it had large balances in the Bank at a time when rumours were afloat embodying fears of that Bank's failure; `Conf. Draft MG0915/1`, comment `655`.\n\nThat being said, I conclude by repeating that if the Agents were well kept in funds regularly, there need hardly be any occasion for the Balances to largely exceed the Maximum. \nSr. J. 1 Mar. `G52`, `RM 573`, Für. M. ommaning.\n\nIt appears that throughout the whole of Mr. Lister's deliberations on this question, there runs a confusion between the balances on current account and the treatment of loans not immediately needed and therefore placed on deposit or otherwise temporarily invested.",

Mr Chadwick has also prepared rules and regulations for the distribution of water in the Colony. Copies of these papers are being kept in the Colonial Office.

Now two years further time has passed. Mr. PRICE justifies valuation by Inland Lot No. 670 and Inland Lot No. 672. Owner of Inland Lot No. 672 was coerced by fear and by untruthful statements. Inland Lot No. 670 different altogether. It had no Easement at the back, and the hill was almost perpendicular. The ground was dangerous, expensive and useless, and an incubus to the owner, hence his acceptance of the offer made of $0.40 per square foot. The Mortgagee in possession immediately after sold the remainder of the Lot by auction at $0.82 per foot. This piece, which was wastefully misshaped, and otherwise undesirable, was re-sold, the following year, at $1.36 per square foot, although four shops' ground was wasted by the hill slope, and all fresh air was cut off. See pages 26, 27, 28, 29. Inland Lot No. 671 had the right to a street at the back, and the hill having to be cut was not a defect but an advantage to the owner, who much needed the soil therefrom to fill in his Marine Lots. See page 30.\n\nThe making of the Hill Street was repeatedly promised by the Government subsequently to the execution of the Lease. The name \"Middle Street\" being given in confirmation of the promise that the roads on either side of it would be made by the Government. Notwithstanding the Government's neglect to make the road, and refusal to give possession of the ground, it has for 27 years demanded the payment of the full amount of Crown rent $384: £62 per acre to the present day; and has then resumed half the lot to the great injury of the remainder, still demanding Crown rent for the whole, Mr. Sharp's application for diminution being peremptorily refused. Claims compensation. See pages 31, 32. Proposes to refer claim to a Board under the **Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889**. See page 33. Asks whether Mr. SHARP will agree to this. See page 33.\n\n**Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889**, four years after resumption of GRANVILLE SHARP's Lot. The Ordinance has no retrospective bearing, and was passed for a wholly different purpose, viz.: the removal of nuisances and the conservation of the Public health. See page 34. The Crown Lease provides for a full and fair compensation, why then consider if any compensation should be awarded? See page 34. Three wrongs—First, Failure of the Government to complete Hill Street. Second, Resumption of ground, on behalf of military, in unconstitutional manner. Third, Full Crown rent demanded for 28 years. Claims—First, completion of Hill Street. Second, Full compensation for Land resumed, and depreciation of remainder. Third, Restitution of Crown rent over paid. Fourth, continued use of portion of Hill Street enjoyed for 30 years. Claims $48,681 or $20,000 cash; or Slaughter House Lot, or ground in Hill Street and items 3 and 4. See page 36.\n\nQuestions Mr. SHARP's claims. Repeats that the other owners accepted $0.40 per foot, which Mr. SHARP had refused; and as he had also declined to submit his claim to a Board of Arbitration (under the **Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance of 1889**) he will be left to take such further steps as he may be advised.

        "content_text": "29 \n\nYour servant at once proceeded, on receipt of the above instructions, to address a despatch to the British Foreign Office, quoting the rule of international law, and the established practice of all nations, and stating that China was at liberty to appoint Consuls to reside at different places in the British dominions under those rules, and that as soon as preliminary arrangements should have been made with the Foreign Office your servant would communicate with the Tsung-li Yamên with a view to making satisfactory dispositions, &c.\n\nIn your servant's humble opinion, Consuls are very important functionaries, whilst on the other hand the number of Chinese in the various islands of the South Seas is very great.\n\nUnless a comprehensive view of the whole bearings be taken, it is impossible to be certain what is our true interest in any particular point; and, unless arrangements are made with each country, it is impossible to know what takes place in this or that corner of the world. Your servant therefore begs to lay the whole subject from beginning to end before his august Master.\n\nAs a rule, most foreign States hold commerce to be a foundation of strength and wealth, and they always appoint Consuls at the ports open to trade in each other's countries, in order to protect the merchant. Whenever there are any harassing laws, these remonstrate from time to time in such wise that merchants ply their vocation in comfort, and trade goes on flourishing. At the same time officers travelling for information, and artisans of all kinds, find a home wherever they go.\n\nThe power of Consuls sent by the different European States to China is, however, greater than in other cases, the reason being that, at first, China was ignorant of foreign affairs, and consented to their jurisdiction over their nationals in China, just as though they were local executive officials. In all cases in which foreigners are concerned, such as homicide, claims for debt, &c., it is always the Consul who deals with the case himself, and this often thwarts the action of our own local authorities; the frequent disputes which used to arise in the different Chinese ports were often at bottom owing to this arrangement. Yet even the Consuls in other countries, who have no executive power, and are only there, nominally at least, for the protection of trade, even these officers are looked upon as very important by the different States; and whenever any international interest calls for it, arrangements are made to appoint one, for, the more far-reaching the branches, the stronger the trunk; the wider the sources of information, the more effectual the springs of action; the happier the people, the wider a country's influence. All this goes without saying.\n\nOf the Chinese Consuls abroad, as regards England, there is the Singapore Consul; as regards America, there is the Consul-General at San Francisco, and the Consul at New York; in Spain there is the Consul-General for Cuba, and the Consul at Matanzas; in Peru there is the Consul at Callao; in Japan there are the Consuls at Nagasaki, Yokohama, and Kobé, with a Vice-Consul at Hakodadi; the Tsung-li Yamên having from time to time arranged with the Envoys abroad so that the appointments in North and South America and in Japan are tolerably numerous.\n\nBut, as regards the islands in the Southern Seas, scattered about in every direction, these are of still closer importance to China. The number of Chinese who have gone thither to reside, to trade, to act as coolies, to cultivate the soil, or to engage in mining, reaches a total of 3,000,000 or more.\n\nComparing the results of his own experience with the language of Chang Chi-tung's Memorial, your servant thinks that, of the places where Chinese have congregated most thickly, there are four spots in the Dutch and Spanish Colonies to which Consuls should be appointed, to wit: Deli, in Sumatra; Samarang, and the ports near it, Batavia, and Manila. In the English and French Colonies there are five places, to wit: Saigon, Tonquin, Hong Kong, Australia, and Rangoon, in Burmah. As regards such other places as Penang, &c., there will be plenty of time to devise means according to opportunity, either to make the nearest Consul act for these places too, or to select well-to-do merchants or gentlemen, giving them the title of Vice-Consul, and a small allowance, and placing them under the nearest Consul; and this accordingly as needs are or are not pressing, and as means suggest themselves. In any case, the expense will not be very great. In the islands of the South Seas, for instance, only a dozen or so of Consuls are required for the complete establishment of the higher grade, and, even after lesser additions shall have been made from time to time, the total expense ought not to exceed £20,000 a-year.\n\nYour servant understands that 15 per cent. of the Foreign Customs collection is appropriated annually to the cost of Missions abroad—about £300,000;* but of late years the total cost of all Missions, including the expense of the peripatetic inquiry officers, has only amounted to about £120,000 a-year. The Tsung-li Yamên's proposal was to reserve the balance for future requirements of the same nature in other countries; but, in the humble opinion of your servant, Envoys having already been appointed to all the first class Great Powers, whilst Powers of the second and third rank are attended to by the nearest Envoy in addition to his original duties, there will be no necessity for the present to make further appointments. If, on the other hand, these dozen or so of Consular appointments are gradually made, commerce will improve, the people will grow richer, and a responsive sympathy will beat in the internal administration at home. Besides, popular aspirations abroad will be gratified, and the Chinese will no longer entertain feelings of disappointed hope. Incalculable advantage, not appearing on the surface, will be reaped, and foreigners will not be furnished with ground for ridiculing us; the benefits resulting from this will be ten times greater than the expense incurred.\n\n30 \n\nLooking over the Returns of Trade of the different States, and the Comparative Tables of Exports and Imports, your servant observes that from £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 in silver leaves China every year for foreign countries. He also observes that the amounts remitted annually from California by Chinese resident there have for several years past reached the total of about £2,000,000 a-year. Though the rate of wages there is comparatively high, yet the number of Chinese is not so very large; so that it may be guessed what sums are remitted from Cuba and Peru, and the same thing may be said of the islands in the south. Now, the balance of trade is very much against China, but some alleviation arises, it thus appears, from the earnings of Chinese abroad, which go to redress the balance in some degree. If this source of income should be closed once more, silver in China will become scarcer than ever, and the poverty of the people being extreme, untoward events are to be dreaded.\n\nTo take Singapore as a single instance: our Consul there has been established for thirteen years, and the total expenditure has not amounted to £25,000, whilst the amounts received as subscriptions towards the various famines and towards the coast defences have reached double that sum: 140,000 or 150,000 merchants and labourers would probably send to China from £2,000,000 to £4,000,000.\n\nThough Consuls appointed to places abroad have no powers of jurisdiction over Chinese, yet it is certainly their business to protect Chinese subjects. In the event of the Treaties being revised, there must be a provision that our Consuls shall be able to discuss any matter that may come before them with the authority of the place. The foreign officials will thus be able to gain information through the Consul, and the people of the place will be chary about treating Chinese vexatiously or tyrannically. Nay, more, our Envoys abroad, when they may see fit to argue any question with the Foreign Offices, will also have to depend upon what the Consuls report to support their contentions. In this way the foreign officials will be more careful how they act towards Chinese. These are the reasons why the appointment of Consuls is indispensable; while, as regards places where there already are Consuls, unquestionably advantages such as those indicated have already accrued.\n\nThe benefits gained by Chinese emigrants abroad are even now somewhat less than they used to be; but, if it were possible to appoint Consuls to all the ports in the Southern Seas, it would not be too late to right things again, and to open up a decided source of advantage. The reason why this advice comes so late, and has not been much acted upon so far, is that, when the Treaties with the different countries were made, China did not know much about foreign places, nor was she aware that there were so many Chinese abroad. Consequently, we gave them the power to appoint Consuls in China, but inserted no provision about our having Consuls abroad. Again, the great marts which the different States have created out of unoccupied islands have owed almost all their prosperity to Chinese immigration, whilst the number of Europeans there is really very small. As soon as ever we begin to talk about appointing Consuls they are certain to set up a howl about our supplanting their rights, and standing in the way of their tyrannical taxation and schemes of conquest. For this reason they are certain to refuse our demands outright at first, and procrastinate as much as possible afterwards. The Foreign Office will pretend that it must consult the \n*The revenue from this source is from £2,500,000 to £3,000,000, but is usually divided into (1) the 1% fund, and (2) the ... fund.

D'après le télégramme reçu par la Société Chinoise pour la protection des femmes et filles mineures à Hong Kong, le passager in question, natif de Canton, était accusé d'avoir enlevé avant son départ une jeune Chinoise âgée de 12 ans, fille de notables commerçants de Saigon.

Cependant, afin de donner aux autorités Britanniques une marque de son bon vouloir, notre Consul consentit à s'entendre officieusement avec le Commandant du bâtiment pour faire débarquer le Cantonnais dans le cas où il se trouverait parmi les passagers du \"Djemnah\".\n\nTout",

Before concluding, I should like to say that, having regard to the history of the past, and notwithstanding the somewhat gloomy picture my financial statement presents, I have every confidence in the future of Hongkong. It is true that the Colony has passed and is passing through a period of severe depression, but there are distinctly favourable and promising indications of better times to come. I have been very much struck by the peaceful, sober, and industrious habits of the Chinese. I hope the leading members of that community fully understand that they and their compatriots will have in me a Governor, a friend, and a supporter in all their reasonable aspirations. It is my most anxious desire to see greater attention paid in our elementary and secondary schools to the teaching of the English language, and this matter I hope to take up before the end of the vacation. The establishment and recent extension of sugar refineries, dock accommodation, brick and cement and rope works are healthy signs, and indicate the advantages which would accrue to the population generally from a further encouragement of local industries. The community may rely upon my aid and assistance in fostering in every legitimate way the development of such enterprises. It will also be my endeavour to cultivate harmonious and friendly relations with the Government authorities of the mainland of China, with which we are so closely connected geographically and commercially. I am afraid, gentlemen, that my remarks have been somewhat prolix, and that I may have been guilty of repetition, but the occasion is undoubtedly an important as well as an interesting one, and that must be my excuse if I have erred in those directions. I thank you for your forbearance, and in claiming your confidence and support, I can honestly assert that during my tenure of office, I shall try by every means in my power to promote as far as possible the well-being of the community, and to maintain the efficiency of the public service.\n\n`B&L (1311)-11690-6000-1-91`\n\n### Governor\n\nDate | No.\n---|---\n | 42.\n`J892.` | Est previous Paper.\n\nHong | Rong. | No. 4600\n---|---|---\n(Subject.) | C.

I refer to the remarks about Hawkers at the end of paragraph VI in the Inspector's address. In England there are \"grub shops\" in the vicinity of all schools for the sale of fruit, cakes, etc. In Hongkong these commodities are usually sold by street hawkers licensed by the Registrar General and controlled by the Police.\n\nThese hawkers place their stalls in the neighbourhood of every school in the Colony to secure custom before and after school hours and during Recess.\n\nI have seen both the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General on this subject. The former feels no objection to the continuance of this practice, which has been in vogue as regards this College for thirty years. The latter cannot guarantee the character of hawkers, which in itself precludes their admission into the College grounds.\n\nAs",

The Governor and Council will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home, or shall be, in addition, called upon to repay the cost of his passage out. \n\n7. A Bond must be entered into by the Cadet and two approved sureties, or an approved Guarantee Society, with the Crown Agents for the Colonies to secure the repayment of the cost of the passage out in the event of his dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced, and also in the event of the Cadet leaving within four years from the date of his arrival in the Straits Settlements, whether by quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except on account of ill health), together with a further sum of £50 for each year, to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching, up to his leaving. \n\n8. Subject to the necessities of the service, leave of absence on half salary may be granted to officers of the permanent Government service after a period of six years' resident service in the Colony without any special grounds. It may be given before the expiration of that period in cases of serious indisposition, or of urgent private affairs. In the absence of special grounds, the leave in such case must not exceed one-sixth of the officer's resident service; on special grounds it may exceed that period by six months. In addition to the above, vacation leave on full pay may be granted, if no inconvenience or expense is caused thereby, not exceeding three months in any two years. \n\n9. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill health an officer may be allowed to retire on a pension after ten full years' resident service; otherwise he must have attained the age of 55. For ten full years' resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for the three years prior to retirement may be awarded, to which one-sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond thirty-five years. \n\n10. A deduction of four per cent. is made from the salaries of all those who enter the Straits Settlements Civil Service, as a contribution to the 'Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund' of the two Colonies. \n\n11.

The Cadets, who must be natural-born British subjects, are selected by open competitive examination held by the Civil Service Commissioners, to whom all inquiries on the subject should be addressed. \n\n* If an Examination is held in 189..., it will take place in either October or November. \n\nThe examinations for these appointments will, as a rule, be held in the month of October in those years in which vacancies have occurred in the Civil Services of Hong-Kong, Ceylon, and the Straits Settlements; Candidates will be allowed, in their order, to choose amongst the vacancies in the three Colonies. \n\n2. Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 24 on the first day of August in the year in which the Examination is held, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that they are duly qualified in respect of health and character. They must be of sound constitution, possessed of good sight, and physically qualified for service in tropical climates, and they will be called upon to undergo a medical examination to test these points. \n\n3. No candidate will be admitted to the competition who has not previously passed, to the satisfaction of the Civil Service Commissioners, a Preliminary Examination in Handwriting, Orthography, and Arithmetic (including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions). \n\n4. The Fees required from Candidates are £1 for the preliminary and £7 for the competitive examination. \n\n5. The heads of the competitive examination are as follows:-- \n\nA. Obligatory, \n\na. Latin. \n\nb. One of the following languages:--Greek, French, German, Italian. The qualifying test for a and b will be translation from the language, but marks will be given for translation into it, and, in the case of the Modern languages, for colloquial proficiency. \n\nc. English Composition, including Précis Writing. \n\nB. Optional. \n\n4. Pure Mathematics, viz. Euclid I.-IV., and VI.; Algebra, including the Binomial theorem; Trigonometry, including the solution of Triangles; Analytical Geometry (elementary) and mixed Mathematics, including Statics and Dynamics treated without the Differential Calculus. \n\ne.

O.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 19TH, 1894.\n\nA BRITISH DOLLAR FOR THE FAR EAST.\n\nITS COINAGE RECOMMENDED BY THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.\n\nThe following report by the Special Committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to consider the expediency of coining a British dollar has been forwarded to us for publication.\n\nHongkong, 18th January, 1894.\n\nThe Chairman, Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce,\n\nDear Sir,-We, the undersigned, were appointed a Committee, pursuant to a resolution of a special general meeting of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, held on the 12th July, 1893, \"to enquire into and report on the desirability, in the interests of trade, of the coinage of a British dollar equal in weight and fineness to the Mexican dollar, for circulation in the colony of Hongkong concurrently with the dollars which are now legal tender,\" and we have now, after full enquiry and consideration, to report as follows:-\n\nWe find that the Mexican dollar and the Hongkong Government dollar are the only legal tender in the colony, and that the supply of Mexican dollars in the London and American markets has very considerably diminished during the past six months. This is chiefly due to the heavy fall in the gold price of silver since the closing of the Indian Mints to the free coining of silver on the 26th June, 1893, and to the repeal of the Sherman Act in the United States on 21st October last. The Mexican exchange has been unable to adapt itself to the serious decline in the price of silver, Mexican dollars continue extremely scarce, insufficient for the requirements of the trade of the Colony, and there is no likelihood of any increase in the supply under present circumstances. The scarcity of Mexican dollars has seriously reduced the circulating medium in Hongkong, has been highly inconvenient and may very easily at any moment become dangerous. The Hongkong Government dollar is now practically out of circulation, and appliances no longer exist for the coinage thereof.\n\nThe Japanese Government have on 16th October last, under Imperial Ordinance No. 103, appointed a Committee of Currency Investigation to enquire into the origin and general results in the relative value of gold and silver, the effects produced thereby upon the economy of Japan, \"whether any change should be made in the present currency system of Japan, and if such change be considered necessary, what currency unit should be adopted.\" What this committee may report it is impossible to say; it may decide to recommend to discontinue the coinage of Japanese yen. In that case, we are of opinion that it would be most expedient to recommend the legalization of the Japanese yen in Hongkong at present, in view of the great uncertainties which exist in connection therewith.\n\nFrom enquiries made of the Mint Master in London, it appears that his appliances, without costly additions, would not allow of his undertaking the coinage of a British dollar at all times, while the seignorage charged by the Mint authorities in Birmingham would be so costly, for the present, as to be practically prohibitive.\n\nWe are given to understand the Indian Government is prepared to coin a British dollar at the Bombay Mint, and that the charge for seignorage will be 1 per cent, or thereabouts.\n\nUnder the circumstances we are clearly of opinion that it is imperatively necessary in the interests of the trade of the colony, and otherwise, that immediate action should be taken in the direction of the coinage and legalization of a British dollar, equal in weight and fineness to the Mexican dollar, for circulation in the colony of Hongkong concurrently with the dollars which are now legal tender.\n\nWe are, dear sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nJ.

        "content_text": "Brown.\n\n183\n\nThe petitioners' prayer was granted might result in much unnecessary loss of life. He, therefore, declined to grant it. As to the request contained in paragraph 2, His Excellency said that he had nothing to do with the return of the people to their own country. If the authorities in Kwang-tang refused to allow persons from Hongkong to go to Canton or elsewhere, he could not coerce those authorities or interfere with their decision. And as regards the first point of the petition—that the house to house visitation should cease—His Excellency said that he considered such visitation to be absolutely necessary, and he had no intention whatever to relax the regulations in that respect. The morning paper had shown how necessary it was, for they reported that three or four dead bodies had been taken out of one house, which would never have been discovered but for the house to house visitation. His Excellency reminded the deputation that this was an English colony, and said that the Tung Wah Committee should assist him in carrying out the law and persuading others to obey it. Holding up the proclamation, he stated that that was now the law and it would be carried out. He promised that every consideration should be shown to women and children, and that if any unnecessary damage was done on proof thereof, the persons suffering would be recompensed. To show his own opinion of the necessity for visitation, he had asked that all the outbuildings and asylum quarters at Government House should be inspected. His Excellency further said that he intended largely to increase the force of Sanitary Inspectors, and he hoped that in a few weeks' time, all danger would be at an end. He asked the Tung Wah Committee to assist him by getting additional help. His Excellency concluded by saying that he was responsible not only for the health of the Chinese but of the Europeans and the Army and Navy, that his decision was embodied in the proclamation, that this proclamation was now the law, and that any person transgressing it would be arrested and punished. The Registrar-General fluently interpreted His Excellency's remarks, and the deputation withdrew. If not actually satisfied, at any rate fully aware of the determination of the Government to do its best to stamp out and prevent the spread of this insidious disease.\n\nTHE PROCLAMATION.\n\nThe following is a précis of the proclamation issued by H. E. Sir William Robinson:\n\nWhereas Hongkong is now visited by a plague which is killing off Chinese at the rate of between 30 and 40 a day, and it is understood that the infection is conveyed from the inmates of a house to the neighbours, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the spread of the disease in order to protect the people. All cases of plague should be removed to one place, and those dying of plague should be promptly buried, and the premises disinfected and cleansed. You people are to report cases of plague and of death from plague at once to the nearest authorities and to cleanse and disinfect your houses. Out of consideration for the welfare of the people and to prevent the poor from being neglected, Sanitary Inspectors, &c., have been appointed to make a close house to house visitation, to cleanse and disinfect your houses, and to help in the removal of the sick to hospital for careful treatment. Fatal cases will be buried with due respect. Now, three temporary hospitals have been opened for treating cases, two under European control, the other under the direction of the Tung Wah Hospital Committee. All treatment is gratis. No distinction of nationality will be made. The proclamation is to inform you people to give all assistance and not to obstruct the Sanitary Inspectors, &c., in their house to house visitation and the removal of sick persons and the bodies of the dead, and in disinfecting and cleansing your premises. The loyal and respectable population should assist the Government to wipe out this plague. Let every one obey this command, and refuse to listen to rumours spread by bad characters; and let no one contravene these orders lest he be punished and repentance come too late.\n\n50",

        "content_text": "303\n\n10-\n\n2nd. This Bacillus is not to be found in any other infectious disease.\n\n3rd. With this Bacillus it is possible to produce in animals the identical symptoms which the disease presents in human beings.\n\nFrom this evidence we must come to the conclusion that this Bacillus is the cause of the disease known as the bubonic plague, therefore the bubonic plague is an infectious disease produced by a specific bacillus.\n\nWhat are the channels by which these bacilli enter the human body? We may suppose that they have three principal channels of entrance: by respiration, through an external wound, and by the intestinal tract. Examples of the first two ways, of which I shall speak later on, are abundant. Examples of the last-mentioned way are not positive so far, but considering that we discovered the bacilli in the intestinal canal and experiments on animals prove that feeding alone produces definite results, the concession must be made that the third is a possible method of infection.\n\nMost of the cases of Bubonic Plague occur amongst the Chinese, a few other nationalities excepted.\n\nWhoever has looked into a Chinese dwelling in Taipingshan is at once persuaded that here is a suitable hunting-ground for the Plague Bacillus. The houses are so filthy that they are unfit for human habitation.\n\nWhat means are to be employed against the Plague? Preventive measures, general hygiene, good drainage, perfect water supply, cleanliness in dwelling houses and cleanliness in the streets. As soon as an epidemic breaks out the sick must be perfectly isolated. The infected dwellings, before the household things are removed, have to be disinfected by 2 per cent. carbolic acid solution or by a solution of quicklime in a correct way. Afterwards, wearing apparel, linen, bedding, &c., should be specially disinfected by a steam disinfector for one hour at a temperature of 100° C.; should a steam disinfector not be available the things ought to be exposed directly to the sun's rays for several hours. Articles unfit for use ought to be burned. Dwelling houses thus emptied should be cleaned over again with quicklime or carbolic acid. The fæces should be disinfected carefully with quicklime. Dead bodies covered with quicklime are either to be burned or to be buried at least three metres from the surface. Mice and rats which have died spontaneously in dwelling houses should be carried away with proper precautions. After a patient has apparently recovered he must be kept apart from the healthy community for a period of a month, for during convalescence the bacilli may be discovered in the blood from three to four weeks after all symptoms have ceased.\n\n11-\n\nIndividuals ought to keep away from plague patients and infected houses and be careful about their solid and liquid nourishment.\n\nThese measures have been generally in force during the epidemic in Hongkong.\n\nThe question as to whether immunity against the bacillus of Plague is possible on the lines practised against many other bacillary infectious diseases remains at present an open one. I shall study it thoroughly later on and in an exhaustive manner.\n\nAll that I have described above must be regarded only as a short preliminary notice. The results of extensive study on the subject of the Plague Bacillus will be published by me at a later time.\n\nBefore I conclude this notice I beg to tender my heartiest thanks to the Colonial Government of Hongkong, to all the Medical men here, and especially to Dr Lowson for his kind assistance.\n\n607",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 4\n\n541\n\nC. O\n\n1140\n\n# SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR (SIR WILLIAM ROBINSON K.C.M.G.)\n\nAT THE RE-ASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nOF HONGKONG, 28TH NOVEMBER, 1894\n\nHONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE Legislative Council,\n\nIt was I propose to lay the Estimates for 1895 and the Appropriation Bill before Council on the 3rd or 6th December, whichever day may be most convenient to the Unofficial Members. As I am in a position to do so, I propose this afternoon to explain the financial position of the Colony to you and to open the session of 1894-5 in the usual manner. If you will refer to your \"Hansard\" you will see that at the close of my speech to you on the 4th December last, I said \"It is my earnest desire, in which you will all cordially join, that still brighter and happier times may, at no distant date, be in store for all classes of residents in this Colony.\" Well, the brighter and happier times which we all then hoped for have certainly not yet dawned upon the Colony or upon us. As a matter of fact, the year 1894 is not likely to be soon forgotten by the community by reason of the disasters which occurred within it, ushered in by a rapid fall in the value of silver. From 2/4 the dollar fell to 1/11, a violent fluctuation which was most detrimental to business and which seriously affected the public revenue, which had been estimated on a 2/6 rate.\n\nNo sooner had a certain amount of stability been established on a low basis of exchange than the Colony was visited with pestilence in the shape of the bubonic plague. The incidents connected with this calamity are so fresh in the minds of all that it is not necessary to do more than to refer to them cursorily. Besides carrying off over 2,500 victims in the island alone, this scourge caused an unparalleled exodus from our shores of some 50,000 or 60,000 Chinese. The effect was felt in every branch of business, and, as I have stated in another document on the subject, the loss to the public revenue, to bankers, merchants, traders, shipping companies, the owners of property, and the labouring classes can never accurately be determined. Hongkong was, as it were, \"boycotted\" in every direction. The quarantine restrictions imposed against us by some other ports were unnecessarily severe, due, no doubt, to exaggerated accounts of the plague, which, after all, was not proved to be highly infectious except in the case of those living in unhealthy surroundings. Vessels were by such means driven, as it were, from the harbour, and all concerned with shipping interests down to the humblest labourer must have suffered, at all events temporarily, considerable pecuniary loss.\n\nThen, gentlemen, when the plague had ceased, war unhappily broke out between China and Japan. In consequence of the outbreak of hostilities between these powers, it was anticipated that there might be a revival and an increase of our trade, but I believe I am justified in saying that that expectation has not been realized to any great extent as yet.\n\nThe Colony has also been visited by several typhoons, one of which, viz., that of the 4th and 5th October, being of great severity, did a considerable amount of damage to property, though it was unattended with any serious loss of life. These misfortunes, followed by the premature death of the Lady holding the highest position in the Colony, will cause the year 1894 to be remembered on all sides as one of the saddest and most disastrous in the records of the history of Hongkong.\n\nIt is not surprising, therefore, that I am obliged to present you with a somewhat unfavourable statement of our financial position. It is not, however, nearly so unfavourable as might have been expected. There is undoubtedly a marvellous recuperative power in this small but valuable possession of the Crown, for had it not been for the actual expenditure on account of the plague, some $150,000, and the fall of silver below 2/6, the rate at which the Estimates for 1894 were prepared, which is accountable for another $150,000, I should have had to announce to you a probable surplus of revenue over expenditure in 1894 of some $200,000. I am not, however, able to do so, and some additional taxation is consequently unavoidable.\n\nThe Estimated Revenue for 1894 at 2/6 was $2,007,210 and the Expenditure $1,998,745, showing a probable surplus of $8,465.\n\nFrom the latest returns, the following will approximately be the amounts:-- Revenue $2,186,506, $179,000 more than the estimate. Expenditure $2,252,912, deficit $66,406. Of the above Expenditure, $150,000, as I have said, was spent in grappling with the plague; $150,000 is owing to depreciation from 2/6 to 2/1 the dollar, and about $22,000 is owing to loss of Rates, Crown Rents, &c., caused by the plague.\n\n1",

I shall confine myself to reply to those statements which they allege to be true and on which they have seemingly formed their opinions.\n\n4. In page 3, paragraph 4, Appendix A of the Report, Dr. Ayres is represented to have said in effect that Dr. Wharry and I could not agree. This is not true. Dr. Wharry and I had always agreed, and the only occasions on which we differed were when Dr. Ayres and Dr. Wharry disagreed with each other; and as I was under Dr. Ayres, I was bound to carry out his orders, and this accounts for the dissatisfaction of Dr. Wharry with me at times. Whenever I did as Dr. Wharry wished me to do, Dr. Ayres was displeased. Dr. Wharry, as was generally known in this Colony, had for a long time maintained the necessity of an Assistant Superintendent being appointed to the Government Civil Hospital; Dr. Ayres was strongly opposed to it. I was appointed to that post by Sir John Pope Hennessy in 1880, and when I was ordered to take charge of the Lock Hospital, Dr. Wharry again asked for an assistant. Dr. Ayres, in order, I believe, to make some sort of a concession to Dr. Wharry, ordered me to give assistance to Dr. Wharry in case of any emergency at night time, if asked for.\n\nDr. Wharry was not satisfied with this arrangement. I was not under him and I had no official standing at the Civil Hospital. It was during this time, and owing to the awkward position in which I was placed at the Civil Hospital, that two trifling incidents happened, to which Dr. Ayres alluded when he stated that I could not agree with Dr. Wharry. I think it is useless to relate here those two incidents. I beg here to submit a copy of a letter from Dr. Wharry to me (marked `A` in the Appendix hereto) showing the state of affairs at that particularly unfortunate time.\n\n5. In the same paragraph, Dr. Ayres further states that Dr. Wharry said I was of no service to him. The incorrectness of this assertion can best be answered by several extracts from Dr. Wharry's Annual Reports.",

My Lord,\n\n947\nNo. 1.\n[November 25.]\nSECTION 4.\nC. O.\n21946 BEL:\n\n### Sir N. O'Conor to the Marquess of Salisbury.—(Received November 25.)\n\nPeking, October 8, 1895.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that the negotiations for the conclusion of a Commercial Treaty between China and Japan, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, began here on Monday, the 30th ultimo, between the Japanese Minister, Mr. Hayashi, and the Grand Secretary, Li Hung-chang.\n\nI am indebted to Mr. Beauclerk for the short précis herewith inclosed of the draft of the Treaty, which was shown to him confidentially, and to Mr. Jordan for an interesting Memorandum on its main clauses, also herewith inclosed.\n\nYour Lordship will observe that the draft contains no demand for the opening of the West River, and I am sorry to say that although Mr. Hayashi was good enough, at my instance, to suggest it to his Government, he has not yet received any instructions on the subject, nor is he sanguine of getting such orders from Marquess Ito.\n\nMy German colleague, Baron Schenck, to whom I have frequently spoken on the subject as almost equally interested in the question, agrees that if we are asked to consent to the Japanese proposal for a commutation of li-kin, we may have an opportunity of pressing the demand upon the Chinese Government, an opportunity which, I feel sure, will not be lost by Her Majesty's Legation.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) N. R. O'CONOR.\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\n#### Notes by Mr. Beauclerk on Draft of Commercial Treaty between China and Japan.\n\nTHE projected Treaty is very similar to the Tien-tsin Treaty of 1858, and appears mainly designed for securing to Japan the most-favoured-nation treatment in commercial matters.\n\nThe first seven Articles call for no particular comment, being of the usual and general nature.\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Article VIII | Same purport as Tien-tsin Treaty, Article IX, as to the right of travelling in the interior under passport. |\n| Article IX | Same in effect as Tien-tsin Treaty, Article XVIII. |\n| Article XIII | Provides for the Tariff, copy of which is annexed. |\n\nArticle XIV. All articles duly imported into China, either by Japanese subjects or from Japan, and all articles manufactured in China by Japanese, shall, being transported by land or water from one foreign settlement to another, be wholly exempt from all taxes, imposts, li-kin, &c., irrespective of the nationality of the owner of the articles, or of the vessel, or other vehicle used for their conveyance.\n\nArticle XV. All articles, goods, &c., enumerated in the last preceding clause, upon payment of a commutation transit tax, equal to three-fifths of the import duty on dutiable articles, and 3 per cent. upon the value in respect of duty-free articles, shall be free from all further taxes, &c. It is understood that this does not apply to imported opium.\n\nArticle XVI. All goods and produce purchased by Japanese in China elsewhere than at an open port, and intended for export, shall be freed from all taxes (except export duties when the goods are actually exported) on payment of a transit tax of one-half the export duty for dutiable articles, or 2 1/4 per cent. on duty-free goods.\n\nArticle XVIII. Japanese vessels may convey Chinese goods for home consumption between open ports or ports of call in China on the payment of coasting trade dues,",

        "content_text": "(14)\n\nmarbled, and of the consistence of marrow or brain, or firmer, like lard. Frequently, small purulent foci were seen in the glands. The swelling of the glands was due to hyperæmia, exudation, hæmorrhage, and hyperplasia of the cells. The distinction between cortical and medullary substance could not usually be recognized. In the inguinal buboes, the glands superficially placed in front of the femoral vessels were much less affected than those lying deeply in Scarpa's space.\n\nThese inguinal and femoral buboes extended usually, but not always, through the crural canal into the pelvis. When this extension occurred the iliac and lumbar glands were similarly affected to the femoral glands, and often formed great, compact masses of swollen lymph-glands, surrounded by extensive extravasations extending on one or both sides of the spine up to the diaphragm. In these glands also small abscesses and more extensive suppurations were sometimes found. Not infrequently, moreover, the iliac glands showed much more swelling and change than the inguinal glands. Most commonly the vascular and lymphatic trunks in the neighbourhood of the affected glands were found much dilated and inflamed. If the cervical glands were the seat of the disease, the inflammation often extended, amid surrounding blood-extravasation, to the mediastinum, and frequently also to the axilla. And conversely, the inflammation often extended from the axilla into the neck.\n\nIn addition to the developed buboes, in other parts of the body, especially in the axillary and inguinal regions, the glands were always more or less reddened from congestion, and swollen up to the size of a bean or a hazel-nut. This was found to be the case in the bodies of those also in whom during life no definite buboes had been formed.\n\nThe termination of the glandular swelling was as follows. The large, painful glandular swellings accompanied by inflammation of the peri-glandular tissue, underwent suppuration in 90% of the cases. The suppuration originated either in the gland-substance itself, by the formation of small abscesses; or else, after necrosis of the glands, in the surrounding connective tissue. The other glandular swellings underwent resolution by absorption of the inflammatory products, but in these cases indurations and enlargements were usually left behind.\n\nAccording to the pathological anatomy, bubonic plague is a disease characterised by inflammatory swellings of the external and internal lymphatic glands, and especially of the intestinal glands, by great enlargement of the spleen, by parenchymatous changes in the liver and kidneys, by inflammation of the cerebral membranes, and by the production of hæmorrhages.\n\n(15)\n\nIII.—MICROSCOPICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL APPEARANCES IN BUBONIC PLAGUE.\n\nTHE PLAGUE BACILLUS.\n\nIn Hongkong in the year 1894, KITASATO and YERSIN discovered a bacillus in the buboes, the blood, and the organs of those that had died of bubonic plague, and also in the blood of patients suffering from the disease. When various animals (mice, rats, guinea-pigs, rabbits) were inoculated with pure cultures of this organism, they suffered from a disease similar to bubonic plague in man. Since that time this bacillus has therefore been regarded as the cause of the disease. In my own researches, by microscopical examination and by culture experiments, I was able in cases of plague to demonstrate the presence of the same bacillus.\n\nA.—Microscopical and Bacteriological Appearances.\n\nOn microscopical examination the bacillus was found in fresh bodies (two to fifteen hours after death), in great numbers in the spleen and the buboes; in small numbers in the affected lymph-glands, in the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys, in the walls of the stomach and intestine, and in the blood. The bacillus was, moreover, frequently seen in the interior of the corpuscles.\n\nBy culture experiments with material derived from fresh bodies the presence of the bacillus could be demonstrated in the affected glands, in the spleen, liver, and kidneys, in the walls of the stomach and intestine, and in the urine and the fæces.\n\nIn older bodies, in which decomposition was not too far advanced, the bacillus could also be found on microscopical examination in the affected glands and in the spleen.\n\nIn addition to the plague bacillus, staphylococci could in some cases be found in the affected lymphatic glands, in the blood, in the kidneys and the urine, and in the liver and the spleen. In the buboes, cocci were very frequently present, and sometimes also the bacterium coli.\n\nThe microscopical examination of the blood of 273 patients suffering from plague showed in 212 cases (77%) an increase in the number of the white corpuscles. Bacteriological examination showed in 221 cases (81%) the presence of plague bacilli in small numbers. Shortly before death, and in severe cases, the examination of the blood for bacilli was most frequently successful. In 20% of the cases examined, staphylococci were found in addition to the plague bacilli, most commonly the staphylococcus pyogenes aureus. In quite exceptional cases, streptococci also were found in the blood.\n\nIn the pus from freshly-opened buboes, small numbers of plague bacilli were usually found, in addition to pus-cocci, especially the staphylococcus pyogenes aureus, and sometimes also the bacterium coli. Sometimes, however, the pus was sterile and this was especially the case in suppurating buboes of long duration. In the necrotic glandular masses found in the buboes, the bacillus was usually met with in large numbers.\n\nIn the blood from punctured buboes, the presence of the plague bacillus could always be demonstrated by microscopical and bacteriological examination.\n\nIn the expectoration, especially when bloody, of 20 patients suffering from bronchitis, the plague bacillus was found on bacteriological examination in 18 cases.\n\nIn the saliva, the bacillus was found in 14 out of 18 patients suffering from plague. In the vomit, the presence of the bacillus was demonstrated in 18 out of 20 cases examined.\n\nIn the fæces, especially when the stools contained mucus and blood, the plague bacillus was frequently found, but its presence could be demonstrated with certainty by culture experiments only. In 28 of these cases there were no buboes. The examination gave a positive result in 38 out of 15 cases.",

They were rats and house mice, which died in great numbers during the epidemic; next in order of susceptibility came white mice, guinea-pigs, rabbits, pigs, monkeys, and fowls. Cats became feverish after inoculation, but did not die. Pigeons were non-inoculable.\n\nIn the albuminous urine of 40 patients suffering from plague, plague bacilli were found in over ... of the cases. They could usually be detected by simple microscopical examination; frequently also in fragments of the organs and with pure cultures of the bacillus. Sometimes the urine contained also pus-cocci.\n\nThe bacillus was never detected in the sweat.\n\nB.—The Bacillus of Bubonic Plague.\n\nThe plague bacillus is a short, thick rod with rounded ends, about 1 μ in length and 0.3 μ in breadth. The bacillus is non-motile. It is stained by all basic aniline dyes, but is not stained by Gram's method. In simple stained cover-glass preparations of the blood and the organs, the ends of the bacillus stain much more deeply than the middle. Often the ends of the bacillus remain entirely unstained, so that it has the appearance of a diplococcus. Sometimes the bacillus is surrounded by a clear area. Very frequently the bacillus is found in the interior of the white blood corpuscles.\n\nThe bacillus grows in artificial nutritive media, both at the temperature of the blood and at the ordinary temperature of the room. The optimum temperature is 37° C. Below 25° C, a decline in the rapidity of growth becomes noticeable. The bacillus thrives better on nutritive media containing glycerine than on those made without the admixture of this substance. Spore-formation was never observed.\n\nOn gelatine plates, the bacillus grows without liquefying the medium and produces in 48 hours small, round, greyish-white colonies. When these are examined microscopically, they have at first the appearance of ground glass, and later a darker, granulated appearance, sometimes with notched borders.\n\nIn gelatine puncture and streak cultivation, the bacillus grows slowly to form grey or greyish-white cultures, without liquefying the gelatine.\n\nOn agar plates, the bacillus forms within 24 hours small, round, greyish-white colonies, of the size of a pin's head, which by reflected light show a bluish sheen with iridescent borders. The colonies usually reach the size of a lentil only and remain isolated. Frequently, however, some of the colonies increase considerably in size after a few days and outgrow the others. Old colonies on agar plates have usually a ragged appearance.\n\nIf from the colonies just described, puncture and streak cultivations upon agar are made, it is found that tubes inoculated from the smaller colonies show a scantier growth than those inoculated from the larger colonies. The streak cultivations on agar appear white or greyish-white and show by reflected light a bluish sheen. The puncture cultivations have a whitish appearance along the depth of the insertion and extend but little superficially from the point of inoculation.\n\nSubcutaneous inoculation of rats, house-mice, white mice, guinea-pigs, and rabbits with fragments of organs of patients that had died of the plague killed the animals in from one to six days. Mice died usually in from one to three days, rats in from two to four days, guinea-pigs according to their size in from two to five days, rabbits in from four to seven days. Soon after the inoculation, the animals' temperature rose to 40° C (104° F); they sat with ruffled fur in a corner of the cage; they lost appetite; shortly before death, they fell suddenly on their side and died in convulsions, which sometimes lasted two or three hours.\n\nOn post-mortem examination, there was found at the site of inoculation a hæmorrhagic, gelatinous exudation; there was inflammation of the lymphatics leading to the nearest lymphatic glands; these glands were red and swollen and often imbedded in a yellow, gelatinous exudation. The lungs were usually congested; the right side of the heart was usually distended with bluish-black blood; the liver was red and swollen; the spleen was bluish, much swollen, and frequently studded with small follicles. The kidneys and the adrenals were congested and usually swollen. The intestine was often congested, and the mesenteric glands were sometimes moderately swollen and congested. In the various organs, especially in the lymph-glands, the liver, the kidneys, the spleen, and the blood, the plague bacillus was present; it was usually found also in the urine and in the fæces.\n\nWhen subcutaneous inoculations of pure cultures were made in animals, it was found that the virulence of the cultures was very variable. Cultures of the third and fourth generations proved much less virulent than those of the first and second generations; and cultures derived from the larger, over-grown colonies on agar plates were much less virulent than cultures derived from the smaller colonies on the same plates.\n\nIf fresh cultures of the first generation were used for subcutaneous inoculations, the bacilli being those growing in the smaller colonies on agar plates, which colonies had been directly derived from the organs, blood, or urine of plague patients, the inoculated mice, rats, guinea-pigs, and rabbits died according to their size in from one to twelve days. Mice died as a rule in from two to seven days; rats from four to five days; small guinea-pigs weighing from 150 to 200 grammes within five days; large guinea-pigs weighing from 400 to 500 grammes in from five to nine days; and rabbits in from seven to twelve days. The appearances on post-mortem examination were identical with those seen in animals inoculated with fragments of the organs.\n\nThe less virulent cultures always gave rise to fever on inoculation and were fatal to mice; they were seldom, however, fatal to rats; still more rarely fatal to guinea-pigs. When fatal, the duration of the illness was longer than in animals of the same species inoculated with the more virulent cultures. Rabbits inoculated with the less virulent cultures suffered from fever but were not killed.\n\nThe growth of the bacillus on bouillon is very characteristic in this respect, that it resembles that of \"the streptococcus pyogenes.\" The growth forms at the bottom and along the sides of the test-tube as a granular or flocculent precipitate, while the bouillon itself remains clear. If it is shaken, the precipitate is distributed throughout the fluid. The cultures do not give the indol reaction.\n\nOn potato, the growth is very scanty. At blood-heat, in from 36 to 48 hours, very delicate greyish-white or white crusts are formed. At the temperature of the room, the growth is not apparent until after three or four days.\n\nSterilised milk is curdled by the bacillus.\n\nThe most favourable culture medium for the bacillus is a 2‰ alkaline solution of peptone containing 1% of gelatine.\n\nIn stained cover-glass preparations from artificial cultures, the bacillus has usually the appearance of a diplococcus. Very frequently, four to six of such bacilli lie joined together in a chain, and they then resemble streptococci. Such appearances are seen most often in cultures in bouillon and in hanging-drop cultivations. Frequently, especially in old cultures, bulging, oval, almost spherical forms are seen. In old cultures, the bacilli stained less readily.\n\nIntra-peritoneal inoculations caused great swelling of the intestinal follicles and of the mesenteric glands, but otherwise the symptoms were the same as those produced by subcutaneous inoculation. The intra-peritoneal inoculations were as a rule more rapidly fatal. The less virulent cultures more often proved fatal when inoculated intraperitoneally than when inoculated subcutaneously.\n\nThe introduction of fragments of the organs or of pure cultures into the stomach, either by mixing them with the food or through the stomach-tube, was usually fatal to mice and almost always fatal to rats and to small young guinea-pigs and rabbits. The post-mortem appearances were generally speaking the same as those found after subcutaneous and intra-peritoneal inoculations. There was more swelling of the intestine, the intestinal follicles, and the mesenteric glands than in animals killed by subcutaneous inoculation; on the other hand, the external lymphatic glands were usually less swollen than in animals killed by subcutaneous or by intra-peritoneal inoculation.\n\nIn post-mortem examinations on animals, the inguinal and the cervical glands were nearly always found to be much more severely affected than the axillary glands.",

        "content_text": "(18)\n\n(19)\n\n189\n\nThe result of inoculation experiments was to show as a general rule that when the plague bacillus was cultivated for successive generations in artificial media it rapidly lost its virulence.\n\nWhen rats were found dead in houses in which cases of plague had occurred, plague bacilli were often to be found in their lymphatic glands and other organs. These animals sometimes had well-developed buboes, most commonly in the inguinal region.\n\nMice, rats, guinea-pigs, and rabbits confined in the same cages with infected animals usually died of the disease.\n\nIV.—DIAGNOSIS OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.\n\nThe diagnosis of the plague is based upon the clinical characteristics and upon the morbid appearances above described, and upon the demonstration of the presence of the plague bacillus.\n\nIn the dead body, if the processes of decomposition are not too far advanced, the existence of the plague can be proved with certainty by demonstrating the presence of the bacillus in the spleen, the buboes, or in other affected organs, either by microscopical examination, or in twenty-four to forty-eight hours by culture experiments. I have never seen a case of plague without glandular swellings.\n\nA monkey, that chewed and sucked a piece of sugar-cane infected by a pure culture of the bacillus, died in five days of the disease. The post-mortem examination showed very slight swelling of the inguinal glands, great congestion of the intestine, and swelling of the mesenteric glands and of the spleen.\n\nIn the countries in which the plague is generally met with, if bacteriological methods of diagnosis are not available, the disease is liable to confusion with pernicious malarial fevers, with malignant typhus of rapid course, with splenic fever, and with other varieties of adenitis. The cases in which mistakes may most readily arise are, on the one hand, those in which, with severe general symptoms, no external buboes make their appearance; and on the other hand those in which, with mild general symptoms, buboes appear the true nature of which is not suspected. But in well-marked cases of plague, with pronounced general symptoms and well-developed buboes, there can, even in the absence of bacteriological investigation, be little difficulty in diagnosis.\n\nA pig ate the spleen of a man that had died of plague; the animal lost flesh rapidly, suffered from diarrhea, and died of plague in twenty-two days. The post-mortem examination showed hæmorrhages in the abdominal walls; the inguinal glands were swollen to the size of a hazel-nut and bluish-red in colour, the sub-maxillary glands were swollen to the size of a hazel-nut, the mesenteric glands were swollen to the size of a bean or a hazel-nut and of a bluish-red colour; there were hæmorrhages in the mesentery, with much congestion and swelling of the stomach and intestinal walls, hæmorrhages in the mucous membrane, and swelling of the intestinal follicles; the spleen was enlarged, the kidneys were swollen and congested, and the lungs engorged with blood. The plague bacillus was found in the interior of the organs, in the glands, and in the blood. Another pig, inoculated subcutaneously on the abdomen with a small fragment from a bubo, died of the plague in forty days. The appearances on post-mortem examination were substantially the same as those just described. The site of inoculation showed moderate congestion and swelling.\n\nTwo cats that ate portions of a bubo were ill for seven days and became very thin, but recovered. Fowls that swallowed fragments of organs, and matter infected with pure cultures, died as a rule after three or four days. Plague bacilli were found in the blood and organs.\n\nPigeons were immune to subcutaneous inoculation.\n\nMice, guinea-pigs, and rabbits, when inoculated with cultures attenuated either by cultivation through several generations or by heat, were gradually rendered immune against inoculation with virulent cultures.\n\nBy successive inoculations from animal to animal with fragments of the organs or with blood, the virulence of the bacillus could be increased to a definite degree varying with the species of animal. By microscopical and bacteriological researches bubonic plague is shown to be a disease in which the blood, the organs, the saliva, the urine, and the fæces of those that are affected with or have succumbed to the disease contain a specific bacillus, pure cultures of which, inoculated into various animals, produce in these animals the same disease.\n\nAs already stated, plague can usually, in severe cases at any rate, be recognized by the examination of the blood. For this purpose, one of the finger-tips or a portion of the skin of the body must be carefully cleansed with soap and water, 1% sublimate solution, alcohol and ether, and pricked with a needle sterilised by heat. For direct microscopical examination the blood should be received on a cover glass; for cultivation, on a tube of agar or of alkaline gelatin-peptone solution. In stained preparations of blood, the bacilli are usually found in very small numbers only, two or three in a field or even in the whole preparation. In the agar tubes or in the peptone solution, in 24 to 48 hours, the bacilli grow in the manner already described. As before said, staphylococcus pyogenes aureus is frequently found in addition to the plague bacillus. If the bacillus cannot be detected at the first attempt, the blood must be examined day after day, and in this manner the organism will often eventually be discovered.\n\nIf the examination of the blood gives negative results, the urine, which nearly always contains albumen and plague bacilli, should then be examined. Cleanse the neighbourhood of the urinary meatus with sublimate solution, and while the patient is urinating suck up some of the urine with a sterilised pipette. The urine should then be examined in hanging-drops and in stained preparations; and with a few drops (about five) plate cultivations should be made. In hanging-drops the bacilli can usually be seen at once, sometimes in chains of three or four links. Stained preparations generally give the same results. On the agar-plates, after twenty-four hours, colonies of plague bacilli make their appearance; these are small, white or greyish-white, with a bluish sheen by reflected light, and with iridescent borders. In addition to the plague bacilli, pus-cocci are sometimes found; these are readily distinguished by their greater luxuriance of growth and by other peculiarities. For confirmation, cultures from the colonies should always be made on agar (coagulated with the tubes oblique), on bouillon, and on gelatine; inoculation of mice, rats, and guinea-pigs should also be undertaken. If no urine is passed, an attempt may be made, in case of need, to draw some off by the catheter.\n\nThe blood drawn by puncture from the buboes and from the other glandular swellings always shows the bacillus on microscopical examination and on cultivation.\n\nBy these methods the diagnosis of plague can almost always be made with certainty, alike in severe cases with or without buboes, and in milder cases.\n\nThe presence of the bacillus in the vomit, the fæces, and the saliva, can often be detected in the following manner.\n\nFirst make plate cultures, and from these make cultures on alkaline gelatin-peptone solution. In the latter, the bacillus grows along the bottom and the sides of the tubes. After twenty-four hours, these cultures should be examined microscopically, and fresh cultures should be made.",

Often in the primary cultures, and almost always in the secondary cultures, the bacilli are to be found.\n\nPus from the buboes, examined microscopically and by cultivation experiments, was found in most cases to contain plague bacilli in small numbers; in addition sometimes bacterium coli, and usually staphylococci. In some cases, microscopical and bacteriological examination, the pus from the buboes proved perfectly sterile.\n\n(21)\n\n# V-PROGNOSIS\n\n190\n\nOwing to the high mortality of plague, the prognosis is always grave. The course of the case showed that the height of the fever could not be regarded as indicative of the severity of the case, which depended rather on the infection or intoxication of the body with the plague bacilli.\n\nThe necrotic glandular masses in the interior of the buboes, examined by the microscope and by culture experiments, were found always to contain bacilli growing in the lymphatic and blood vascular systems.\n\nIf all the methods of research here described give a negative result, the conclusion may be drawn with considerable confidence that the case is not one of plague, or that the disease has entirely passed away.\n\nThe extent and site of the external glandular affection, like the local lesions of other infectious disorders, were not significant of the intensity of the symptoms. For, on the one hand, cases occurred with a severe course and fatal termination in which there was no externally perceptible affection of the lymphatic glands; and, on the other hand, cases with a mild course and ending in recovery though large buboes appeared.\n\nIf the patient survives the first febrile stage, which usually lasts from six to ten days, there is great hope of recovery. In many cases, however, this hope proves delusive, because in the later course of the disease, owing to the commonly occurring suppuration of the buboes, or to other complications, such as abscesses of all kinds, pneumonia, etc., fever re-appears, this time of a pyæmic or septicæmic character, and often proves fatal.\n\nThe onset of suppuration of the buboes is therefore not to be regarded as in itself a favourable sign, but merely as a sign that the patient has outlived the first stage of acute fever, and that he may hope to recover if during the further course of the disease he remains free from fever and complications. Those cases are to be regarded as more favourable in which at the end of the stage of acute fever the glandular swellings undergo resolution. But even in these cases, death occurs now and again quite unexpectedly, due no doubt to exhaustion of the system or to intoxication with the products of disintegration of the bacilli.\n\nPlague bacilli were found in the blood of two patients ten days after the end of the first stage of acute fever, in the urine of various patients with and without buboes four to six weeks after the fever and in the fæces and the saliva five days after the fever. In blood obtained by puncture of the connective tissue of bubonic swellings, plague bacilli could sometimes be detected four to six weeks after the onset of the disease, and in one case even at the end of ten weeks. Frequently the bacilli found at this late period had nearly or completely lost their virulence.\n\nGreat dyspnœa, petechiæ, violent delirium, hæmaturia, suppression of urine, profuse diarrhoea (especially when the stools are bloody), are very unfavourable signs. Well-marked remissions after the stage of acute fever, with unclouded sensorium and a natural expression of countenance, are of favourable significance. A healthy state of nutrition and a powerful heart are valuable aids in fighting the disease.\n\nRelapses were never observed.",

        "content_text": "(30)\n\nThose attending on the patients must not themselves eat any food in the sick-room; and before resuming outside intercourse, and before eating, they must remove infected clothing and must radically disinfect the face and hands.\n\nIf plague breaks out in a house in which articles of food and drink are offered for sale, the shop must be closed.\n\nThe bodies of those that have died of plague must not remain in the houses until their burial, but must be wrapped in sheets soaked in a 1‰ sublimate or a 5% carbolic acid or creolin solution, and carried to a mortuary. In the bottom of the coffin, lime, peat, or saw-dust should be sprinkled.\n\nIn every case of plague, the source of the infection must if possible be discovered and rendered harmless. It is therefore absolutely necessary that all houses should be visited in which the presence of plague is known or suspected. These houses should be thoroughly disinfected, and their hygienic condition in the matter of privies, drains, wells, and water-supply should be enquired into. Public latrines also, being liable to contamination, should be subject to regular inspection and disinfection.\n\nPrivies are best disinfected in the following manner. The contents of the closet pan should be mixed with milk of lime, and can then be removed after an hour or two. The exit pipe should be flushed with milk of lime, or thoroughly washed with a 5‰ solution of creolin or carbolic acid, and after four or five hours flushed with water.\n\nOpen wells that are exposed to contamination from above or from the sides should be closed.\n\nA prophylactic inspection of the trade in articles of food and drink is also to be undertaken by the sanitary authority. Spoiled or suspicious articles of food must be destroyed. The milk-trade and the diluting of milk with water must be subjected to a strict control.\n\nThe water-supply demands especial attention. A warning should be issued against the drinking of unfiltered river or harbour water. It would be better if boiled water only were used for drinking, since in times of epidemic, water that has been filtered merely cannot be regarded as quite free from objection.\n\n( $1 )\n\n195\n\nIX-INCUBATION.\n\nThe experience of the epidemic of 1894 showed that the period of incubation of plague might extend to nine days, but was usually three to six days only. Similar observations were, generally speaking, made in 1896. It was for the most part impossible to obtain precise information as to when and in what manner Chinese patients were infected. In one case, an incubation period of fifteen days must be assumed. This was the case of a Chinese who on May 25th, 1896, was imprisoned in the English jail, being then in good health. On June 10th he was suddenly taken ill with typical symptoms of bubonic plague, and he died of the disease on June 15th. During the course of the illness, plague bacilli were found in the blood; and the autopsy showed inflammatory swelling of the inguinal glands of both sides up to the size of a hazel-nut. Culture experiments demonstrated the presence of plague bacilli in the spleen and the glands. The jail was at the time, and remained, free from other cases of plague.\n\nThe infection of river and harbour water must be prevented as far as possible by supervision of ships and their inhabitants. It must also be pointed out that closets and drains discharging into rivers may infect the water.\n\nSince it is especially when men gather together in large numbers in a small space that the contagium of the plague is rapidly conveyed from person to person, the aggregation of men at fairs and markets is to be prevented. Excessive overcrowding of small rooms is to be forbidden. Regulations should be made to provide for sufficient light and air in the streets and the houses.\n\nThe disinfection of ships must especially regard the berths and cabins of the sick, the closets, and the bilges.\n\nThe public must be enlightened as far as possible concerning the nature of plague; and concerning the method of its dissemination by the pus from buboes, by the fæces, urine, and expectoration, and by uncleanliness.\n\nB.-Measures of Private Hygiene.\n\nThe measures to be taken by individuals with a view to avoiding the infection of plague consist, first, in care that no plague bacilli gain entrance to the body by contaminated wounds of the skin or by contaminated articles of food and drink; and, secondly, in a regular mode of life without excesses in eating and drinking.\n\nWith regard to the first point, the body should be frequently cleansed by baths, the hands further should be washed often, and the most insignificant wounds should be kept scrupulously clean; food should be cooked, or, if raw, entirely above suspicion, and the plates and dishes on which food is served should be cleansed with water that has been boiled or is of undoubted purity.\n\nThe use of strange privies is to be avoided, more especially if they are open to suspicion of infection.\n\nHouses that are known or suspected to contain cases of plague should not be visited.",
