The following despatch has been racaived by the Feuch Consulate General in dongkong from M City, Minister Plenipo tentiary of the French Republic in Chîñs :---

In its issue of September 10, the Tag, a Berlin newspaper, "dum-dam' published a photograph of a package of cartridges, alleged to have been found at Lingey...

From an ordinary examination of this picture it is clear that these are cartridges without say power of penetration, specially prepared for firing from a stand on a miniature range, and that they could not possibly be used in warfare.

This absurd mistake of the Tag was discovered by the German authorities, and that number of the paper in which the photograph was published withdraws from oirculation and destroyed. The French Government have, however, one copy. I would be much obliged if you would give the widest possible publicity to this information.
