HARHAND, the civil-administrator-of-affairs in Tonquin accompanied the fleet, it may fairly enough be assumed that an attempt will be made to enter into negociations with the Emperor of Annam before a resort is made to hostile measures; in fact, so much was admitted by that officer himself. However, as the Drac left Haiphong on the 15th to re- join the squadron at Touron, having on board a number of landing stages, and as the transport Amamite was, bringing on a large force of French troops from Saigon there can be little doubt that, unless the Annamese authorities readily acceded to the French; demands, the arrangements were to bombard Tuanan and under cover
