The latter Instracted the Viceroy that he must appoint a depaly to proceed to Kwanchow Bay Linchow peninsular, opposite Hainan Island) and formally hand over the bay and about 300 sqaure miles of territory to the French, who, it will be remembered, seized the bay about four months The Vicersy alied many obj:cilors and memor!allred the throne ; all to no purpose how. ever, for the
pressure brought to bear by the French and Russian Ministers on the Tsung!! yamen resulted in Imperative telegraphic instrections being sent to Viceroy Tan to obey orders. Then Tan applied by white for permis sion to resign on the grounds of Ill-health and old age. This was refus d and the orders to surrender Kwinchow were repeated. Seeing no way of further evasion the Viceroy a now sent in hla resignation and the Governor of Kwang Tong has assumed duty as Acting Viceroy, peading the appointment of a sac

Mr. Balfour: The papery already presented 10 Parliament contain fall information both as to the character and the objects of the loan which Her Majesty's Government were prepared to maka to China In January last. Such a loan would have been very much more secure than any railway guarantee on foreign soil could be, and being in return for advantages of a national Gavernment gated to a rallway scheme un- character is an ʼn very different footing from

THE HONGKONG EXTENSION.
We (The Times) have received from one of our correspondents in Chian the following, which be believes to be the full text of the Convention signed at Peking for the extension of the territory ander British control on the mato- land opposite Hongkong :-
