A treaty of alliance, offensive and defen sivewas signed on March 25th, at Salvador, by the Government of San Salvador, Nica ragua, and Costa Rica, for mutual defence against Barrios, Guatemala, and his schemes of confederation. President /.alvidar, of Salvador, assumes chief command. News was received on March 31st of a battle between Barrios troops and! the San Salvador forces, in which the former were defeuted. The fight took place on the plains of Santa Anna, near the frontier. After ten hours' desperate fighting, in which quarter was neither asked for nor taken, the Guatemalans wero completely routed, leaving about 1,500 dead upon the field. Barrios retreated across the' frontier. The Salvadoran forco numbered 11,000; tho Gautemalan 15,000. The opinion is that this battle has definitely settled tho question of a Central American Union on the plan proposed by Barrios. Little sympathy is expressed for the defeated revolutionists, and the disaster is regarded as good news by the mercantile community. According to a despatch from La Libestad, April 4th, hostilities between Guatemala and the allied Republics were suspended, and an armistice of one month's duration announced ; the Union decreo of President Barrios was also annulled. The gold-hilted sword of Barrios was found on the battle-field of Chalchuapa, broken, and his death has been confirmed. Tho installation of his successor, General Manuel Lizandro Barrillos, one of two vice presidents or desiynados, has taken place, and his presidency was acknowledged by the United States. Tho family of Barrios has left Guatemala for San Francisco. The University Boat Race. The race between the Cambridge and Oxford crews came off od tho morning of March 28.

Both boats got off well together, but Oxford' soon took the lead, and maintained it to the end, winning by three lengths. The time of tho race was 21 minutes 36 seconds, a trifling improvement over the time one year ago, when tho record was 21 minutes 39 seconds. Tho improve ment is not as groat as was anticipated, in view of tho finer weather and smoother water.

THE FRENCH DEFEAT IN TONQUIN.

Extraordinary Excitement in Paris.

Tho Chinese forces gained a victory over tho French at Langson on Friday, March 28tb. Thoy carried the key of the position and entrenchment, driving the French back beyond Dangdong, from whcnco they fell back on tho Long TCoi. The Chinese force was estimated lo bo .W,OOO strong, and the French lines wore menaced ir. every direc tion. General Noeyia. was severely wounded in the chesty and is not expected to recover. The French lo»t vast quantities of commis sary and other stores. General Briero de L'lsle t.legraphcd for a reinforcement of 20,000 men. The Cabinet decided to Fend the force asked for at once, and asked in tho Chamber of Deputies on March _oth for a credit of 40,000,000 f nncs. The municipal authorities of Paris voted 100,000 francs for the relief of tho wounded Frenoh soldiers. When General Noprier was wounded, 279 Frenchmen had already been killed and wounded, and Goneral Herlinger, seeing that every man fulling into the hands of the Chinese would be killed, threw his artillory^and a portion of tho treasure and stores into the river, utilising the mules to carry tho wounded in the hasty retreat. The excitement caused in Paris by the news of tho disaster was tremendous. Long beforo tho hour for the convening of the Chambor tho streets in tho vicinity wero pa-kod by crowds of excited men, and it soon became evident that trouble was brew ing, for tho Government had a strong forco of military on hand to preserve order. Notwithstanding these precautions, tho galleries of the Chamber were crowded with people, who plainly showed irritation over the defeat by keeping up, q noisy dis cussion, nnd hurling denunciatory epithets at tho various members of the Cabinet and their suppo-tca as thoy entered the Cham ber. When Jules Ferry, the Premier, arose to announce the decision of the Cabinet Council, ho was loudly hissed. He had barely finished his declaration when a number of the Deputies of the Bight sprang to thoir feot yelling " £o\vn with the wretch!" while ab.oye tho din could be heard the voice of Clemenceau as he fairly sc;ean-.ed "Traitors!" It was some time before order was restored. If the troops had not been pres.nt, personal violence would have been done. During the scene inside, the crowd outside became a howling mob, and could only be kept back from breaking into the Chamber by the deto/tpjned attitude of the military. The Ferry Cabinet resigned on the 30th March, and President Grevy requested Senator Dr. Freycinet to form a Ministry, which at first declining he then attempted, and eventually failed, in dt.ng, on account of the discordant views of the members at a preliminary meeting. On' the. s,th April Erisaon accepted tho task of forming a Ministry, and made a coalition with Dr. Freycinet. The work was completed on tho 6th as follows :—-Brisson, Premier and Minister of Justice ; Dr. Freycinet, Foreign Affairs; Allan Targe, .nterior; Clamageran, Finance; GqWetf Public Instruction; General Oamerron, War; Badie Carnot, Public Works; Pierre Legrand, Agricul ture ; Heme Magnon, Commerce; Sarrieu, Posts and Telegraphs; Admiral Galliber, Marino and Colonies. Tho Chambers and tho Senate voted 10,000,000 francs, the first instalment of the credit of 40,000,000,.fran05, on March 31st. The situation in China is considered grave by mqny, while a few affect to treat it lightly. The Paris "Times " correspond ent thinks a French advance to Peking, as urged, impossible, considering empty arsenals, lack of transports and provisions, and other deterrent circu instances. It was reported in Paris on March 3J.st that the Anaraeso had risen, and that the French troops had evatiu _tsd Formosa and gone to Hanoi,. A despatch from the latter pJacyj April Ist, says tho situation of the frenoh array there is critical. A large Cbtneso foroe under European leaders was endeavouring to cut off the French retreat. The Chinese, in large numbers, were harassing the French troops in their rotroat from Langson. General tfegrier has recovered from his wound, at first thought to be mortal, " Lo Paris," oj April 2nd, asserted that -tuna had accepted the poace proposals, notwithstanding recent successes, made by Minister Ferry beforo his resignation, and that they were conduoted by Ml Campbell on behalf of Sir Robert Hart, Inspector- General of tho Chinese M^rlne'Customs, who was authorise^, by the Chinese. Government *?. °BrW8 rW on the negotiations frith France. *'he basis of tho treaty is that the Chinese shall evacuate Tonquin, the Fyeach shall occupy Formosa till tho treaty has been oxecuted, and shall forego an indemnity Irom China, and that a treaty of commerco he concluded giving trade advantages to Prance. The members of the Jtlxtreme Left ap proved, on 4pn'. v, the proposal of Lockroy that operations in Madagascar bo stopped, and the French troops now there be trans ferredtoTonquin. On the _th,the same party decided to proceed with the impeachment of the Ferry Ministry, and agitate the subject of a cessation of operations in Tonquin, and for the conclusion of a treaty of peace with China. The Republican partisans resolved to advocate an energetic defence of the interests of France in Tonquin and support the Ferry polioy, Tho party conflicts increased in bitter ness. Dr. Freycinet attributed his failure to form a Ministry to the partisan leaders of the Republican sections in claiming the balance ot power in tho Cabinet. It is said that when tho proposed members of the Dr. Freycinet Garnet held their pre hminary meeting, the views entertained by the gentlemen were so divergent that a scene of disorder' ensued, and aa a free fight , seemed im_,ine,nt, : they were dL""*»--H ■.
