le Myre de Vilers warning Captain Eivi^re of their presence. BIVIEEE AEBIVES AT HANOI. ^197 but M. de Freycinet, in a despatch to Admiral Jaureguiberry, on tbe 16th March, writes: " J'ai vu avec satisfaction que les plus grandes prdcautions ^talent recommandees . a M. Eivifere pour prdvenir tout contact avec les troupes reguli^res chinoises qui se maintiennent dans le Tonkin." Leaving Saigon late in March, on the 2nd April, 1882, Eiviere anchored off Hanoi, having expe- rienced no difl&culty in... the ascent of the river. The arrival of this strong flotilla, a breach of the Treaty of 1874, caused the liveliest emotions in the minds of the mandarins. Fearing, and not without reason, an assault on the citadel, they closed its doors and at once commenced executing fresh defensive works on its dilapidated walls. Strong reinforcements were also drawn in from Son Tay and Bac Ninh, and efforts made by a show of force to answer the steps taken by the French. Eiviere remonstrated with the Governor in a tone which showed that he was deter- mined to act on a line scarcely foreshadowed by his official instructions, and complained that the hostile attitude of the mandarins was calculated to provoke war.
