FRANCE AND CHINA.
LrNDON, May 11. In its issue this morning the London Times published 'telegrams from its special correspondent announcing that a treaty had been i concluded at Tientsen between France and China for the cessation of hostilities, and the settlement of the Tonquin difficulty; by the terms of the treaty it is agreed that China shall recognise the French protectorate over Tonquin and Annam with existing frontiers, that the towns of Kuanghai, Guang, Tung, and Zunnan, shall be opened to international trade. It is also agreed that the French Government shall waive its claim to a war indemnity. It has transpired that the Porte has consented to forego its demand that the projected Conference on Egyptian affairs should take place at Constantinople, and agreed to a proposal that the delegates should meet at London.
