GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE.

LONDON, October 24th. A French Yellow book on the Fakhoda que tian has been published. Me.

Si E. Monson has informed Mr. Delcasse that France; being aware that Germany and Italy recognised the Nile arabe British sphere, was advancing to a conflict with Great Belial, Mi, Delcasse in reply said, that to ark France to accep? le ertcarton of Fashods prior to a discussion, was equivalent to a whimalum. which it was impossible for France to accept. The Freach papers arprave of the Yellow book; maintain the right of France to an outlet on the Nile, and way that as agreement is only posible Great Britain does not insist on the Immediate and uncondlifonel withdrawal of Majj Mat- chand from Farbodu.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM KANG PU-WEI

RISPICTID SENIORS,

The overpowering calamity which fell from Heaven on the fatal' gib day of the 8th man (10th September) beleging such waexpected and tearful changes over the Empire by the surpa tlon of the Imperial power by the antitype of the vc and licentious ancient Empress's Li and Wa, followed by the deposion and Imail roameat of our trae Sovereige, causing thereby Heaven and Earth to change places and abil. terating the lights of the Sun and Moon from Ms Majesty's loyal subjects, bave know, filled with universal indignation the hearts of the people.

Our youthful Emperor's intelligence and en- thusiasm made him bend his enerves to lagu- rate new measures of reform for the country to be put into practice in das time one after the other, and all who owed his M-jesty loyalty and allegiance learning this raised our hands to our heads with pleasure and danced for jor. The False One for sorper altempted to introduce avarice and licentiousness into the Palace in or- der to tempt our Sovereign to destrucion; bat his Majesty spunal them with scorn and these erils were unable to defile the Palice atmos- phere. Then one or two traitors of the con servative element, fading their objec's prevented, threw themselves prostrate around the Usurper and besought her to resume the reins of power Note: Owing to the cashiering of Hast T-pa, President of the Board of Rites, and bis colleagues, Fuel and Jang Lu were at the bottom o the whole plot) The Falke Ore then contrary to all rights of Heavin and Earth rized the relss of power and issued

forged edict calling for physicians for hls Majesty, thereby overshadowing that the Emperor would be poisoned, To-day, therefore, we know not whether his Majesty he alles or derd. This indeed is that which makes the gads and men indignánt and lend that Heaven and Earth will never pardon var allow such to temp's on..

This Usurper when she came loto power in laimer years polosed the Eattern Empress Consort of Helen Féig. She murdered with pa'soned in the Empress of Tony Chth, and by her sets made the lave Emperor Hikä Fêng | dir of spleen and Indignation, And now she has dired to depoze and Imostxon our trac Sovriel. Hir crime is great and extreme in its wickedness. There has rever been a worse deed, Although the willer, yoor hamble servant, and Lin, Yang, Tan and Lu, flour of the six madyrs] all received his M.jty's commands in bis last extremly, we. dist have not the flower and strength of Hid Chinyl who restored Emperor Trang to the Throne after deposing the Emporis Wa Tiê| tien of the T'ễne dynasty] hat can only emulate thexample of She Pier in werplg. (This was a minister of Tia, (Sanan), 'who over 2,000 praɛs ago went weeping to braeech the powerful King of Chin, (Sarnal), to avenge the déposkian of his Master the King of Ta'a and by his im. portunity rucceeded in dolog so.]

I, therefore, now send you copies of his Ma- jesty's two secret edicis to me and crave your ad- sistance in publishing them to the whole world either in the Chinese, or Ferdigo newspapers. This will I earnestly trust bring strong arms to nor sovereign's rescue. His Majesty has always accepted the fiat of his ancestors in recognistag | the mother who bore him as his own mother, and not an Imperial concubine as his mother.
