With remarkable but admewhat misrulded perseverance, France on the 15th of October despatched a Mission d'Expleration Commerciale to China, which, I suppose, will try to find out why previous attempts have falled, and prepare the way for a second syndicate. The mission has at lis head Mr. Roucher, who, first as an Employee in the Chinese Maritime Customs, and later as French Consul, has bad excellent opport unities of studying China and the Chinese; there ts's "secretaire générale" and a lot of eminent specialists, one of whom is more particularly Chambers of Commerce of Marelles, Bordeaux, charged with the stu ly of the Red River. The Lille, &c., hive each sent a representative. M. Lebon, Minister of Commerce, sent a tele- gram in the name of the Governmeal, speeding the mission on its way. They will make a capital report, draw the most logical con- clusions from what they have learned, recom- mend some kind of semi-official organization of French Irade in China, and then, when enough money has been lost, the thing will be dropped for another decade. Of course we shall again hear that English intrigue ruined the venture.
