London, Eob. 20.
Li Hung Chang and Shing have announced that the Court agrees to inflict the punishments demanded by Ministers. It is understood at Shanghai that Count AValdersee’s proposed international expedition to Taiyuonfu consists of fifteen thousand troops. It is intended to make a demonstration throughout Chili if the Court shows a desire to procrastinate in accepting the Powers’ demands. In the House of Commons Lord Cranhourno said that the question of the future protection of the legations at Pekin was still undecided as far as Groat Britain was concerned, but the fixing of reasonable limits was expedient.
