It was only with the occupation of Tonkin that relatione between Franse, and Chian really commenced; and those were not at trat of the most cordial. Nevertheless, time did its work, even in this matter, and the hostility of the fires, 12, bules rattan, 156 bales canes, 43 bales days gave place gradually to an indifference amongst the greater number of the Chinese mandarins, and even among a fer to a desire for closer relations. This tendency of the few has become general since the Franco-Russian allience protected China.
