JAPAN.

PARIS, Ocr. 28.

The Opinion Nationale of this evening asserts
that despatches have been received from Japan
representing that the English have made some
attacks on the Japanese, which were unsuccessful.
The vessels destroyed some barques, but the forts
maintained their fire to the hut. " The English,"
says the Opinion Nationale, were obliged to with-
draw, without bevies obtained the required satis-
faction. The Japanese displayed great courage
and perfect discipline, and absolutely refused to
pay the indemnity."
The Opinion Nationale also states that a serious
state of things prevails in Syria, and says :
" Twenty thousand Arabs have revolted in the
Eaurran. The English ha►e recommenced their
intrigues, and patronise the Greek catholic candi-
date for the position held by Daoud Elam."
The Nation of this evening publishes, "under
reserve," the news that the French army would
shortly evacuate the Pontifical. States, only leaving
a garrison at Clefts, Vecchia, and that Spain would
send 10,000 men to Rome. "The journey of the
Empress to Madrid," continues the Nation, " is
stated to be not unconnected with this combination.'
