PARIS.
May 12
Latest telegrams to hand report that the French troops are now only a few miles distant from the city of Tunis.
Mr Barthlemy St. Hilaire, the Minister for Foreigh Affairs, made a further statement in the Chambers to-day as to the intentions of the French Government towards Tunis. He announced that it had been decided to demand substantial guarantees from the Bey that the permanent quietude of the Tunis and Algerian frontier would be secured. He further made a complete disavowal of the belief which exists that the policy of the Government was directed towards the annexation of Tunis by France.
