M, Hanotaux, in the course of bis reply, said the Ministry np.d been faithful to the policy of 1871, bat they did nob desire to cling obstinately to a policy oi isolation. They desired, on the contrary, to restore the nations share in the concert of the Great Powers, and to prove that she bad egained her authority, and to show that France's existence and strength were essential to maintain the equilibrium of Europe and the world. The Government bad sought the Kasaian alliance in order to restore to France her position as a nation, and the two Powers had agreed to co-operate. The dally current of events showed that the visit of the French squadron to Kiel in connection with the opening of the Baltic Canal would represent France as being free, strong, and calm. France was proud enough and rich enough not to fear comparisons, and to forget the memories of AlsaceLoraine. M, Hanotanx, before couoluding bis speech, announced that he had telegraphed to Si. Petersburg explaining that the French Government placed Alliances in the first rank of their foreign policy, and that they intended to support the Russian demands in China, M.
