It is quite clear, however, that there has hitherto been no serious attempt made on the Chinese side to grapple with and suppress the piracy which ravages the frontier districts, but that on the contrary the pirates have. been allowed to use Chinese territory as a base from, which to make their raids into Tonkin. To what extent the local

authorities may have been in active collusion with them it is impossible to say, but no doubt any petty mandarin would for a con- sideration be conveniently engaged in another direction when a pirate gang passed through his district and would not think it necessary to give any inconvenient in formation afterwards. So matters would go on, until, under the pressure brought to bear by the French Minister at Peking in the LYAUDET Cc, it was seen that so far as that particular athir was concerned the game was up. Then the matter was setiled, after the usual Chinese manner, by buying the pirates off. The Governor-General, was right in not paying a ransom and the failure of the pirates to make anything out of the Lexavers except what they got from the officials of their own country will discourage them from trying similar ventures in the
