COLLISION BETWEEN french AND CHINESE AT KWANG- CHAUWAN,
A HUNDRED CHINESE KILLED.
28rd October.
It appears that the conflict that took plnos at Kwangchauwan a few days ago was more serious than was at first supposed. It is stated of from a thousand to twelve hundred armed that the reconnoitering company met a force Chinese and had to retire, in good order, on the Hoiteon fort. The Surprise, which is vá at present at Kwangchauwan, has moved up to the head of the bay ready to open fire with her guns on the rebels. The arrival of Marshal Sa cannot fail to have a salutary effect upon the population of the territory bordering on our possession. We hope that the authors of the disturbances may be discovered and pun- inhed[according to their deserts.

We now learn that on the 30th October two thousand troops were sent from Canton to Kwangchanwan, the Black Flag chief Liu Yung-fu being at the other military mandarins named Fong, Mok, and head of five hundred of this Lumber, and three Chan having command of five hundred each.
Whether these troops have been sent merely to preserve order amongst the Chinese and pre- Tent opposition to the delimitation arrange ments or with the more sinister view of giving the French trouble does not
appear.
