This Embassy, which has already reached Mar-
seilles on its way to Paris, is composed of persons
of high distinction. Besides the domestics there
are seventeen officers♦ two secretaries, a minister
plenipotentiary, and an envoy extraordinary.
These two last high functionaries, as also the two
secretaries, are, no doubt, spies upon each other,
fur no Japanese official is trusted to do anything
alone, and they carry out the dual system in all
public affairs. So accustomed are they to this that
when Cie Earl of EL4:IS and KIN, ARDINE made
our treaty with Japan, nothing would convince
them that his title did not represent two per-
sons they saw, but where was INl'AR-
i.tva T Why was he kept so very "dark " that
they never got sight of him ! And this default of
a person answering to the second name they were
disposed to consider as a grievance. The Embassy
makes its lint stay at Paris, but after hay-
ing been presented to the Exl rues it
will visit various parts of France, care-
fully observing, and recording its observations, for
the benefit of the Court at Yeddo. It will pro-
ceed to London in time to be present at the open-
ing of the Great Exhibition, and after having
fulfilled its mission to her MAJESTY, will visit the
Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, be-
fore returning home with the mass of information
which it is sure to collect during its long and
important journey. From St. Petersburg there
is every probability that it will return to Japan
through Siberia, as it can reach Yeddo by that
route in a third of the time which would other-
wise be taken.

Lord PALMERSTON, having planted himself on
the general proposition that all taxes are objec-
tionable, chose to ignore minor distinctions, and
rebuked the supporters of the motion in the style
be listened to in his younger days :—" No doubt
" it would be an exceedingly agreeable thing if the
" country could go on without taxation at all.
" If the army would be good enough to go on
"without pay, if the civil departments could be
" carried on and justice administered without
" expense, and if ships' guns and the services of
" seamen were gratuitously given, it would
"as doubt be exceedingly convenient for
" those who have to pay taxes. But
" the country must submit to the inconvenience
"of taxation to obtain the great and inestimable
"advantage of having the order of the country
" properly maintained. I therefore discard at
" once the arguments which apply entirely to the
" assertion that this tax is peculiarly objection-
" able." This language is just fifty years too late,
and will neither convince opponents nor quiet the
country. It is, however, on Thursday that we
shall learn whether the vote of last night is one
which it will be wise to maintain.

The poets are a class who give no end of trouble
to the Exhibition authorities. The last offer is the follow-
ing :—" A prophetical ulogy and illustration, showing to
Britain and every other nation the very great advantage of
Iss2's International Exhibition." The poet, in recom-
mending it to the favourable notice of the commissioners,
says :—" I am persuaded that if it was printed and sold in
the various towns of Britain it would be the means of
bringing some hundreds and thousands to the commissioners,
as nearly all the nations of the earth are named in it." He
goes on to remind the commissioners that it is high time for
them to come to a decision and for "commencing opera-
tions," and he wishes for facilities of admission into the
building in order that he may pick up materials for his
poem. A society, calling itself the " Royal Masonic Solar
Church Society," wishes for space to ventilate its dogmas.
The tenets of this sect, which are said to number " 1,500
heals," and to have the city of Bath as the centre of their
operations, are somewhat misty.

The only other Embassies which Japan has sent
to the occidental world have been one to the POPE
in the year 1652, and the very recent one to the
United States of America. The Embassy to the
Port: was not exactly a national mission, but was
bent by those Princes who had embraced the
Christian faith as taught to them by the Roman
Catho'i: missionaries, who in the sixteenth cen-
tury obtained a strong footing in Japan. The
present visitors to Europe have come easily
and enough, in powerful war steamers,
by Singapore and Sue; but their predecessors
found no such conveniences of travel, and did not
reach the Eternal City till more than three years
after they sailed from Nagasaki. Their return
journey was even longer, and they found that
during the eight years of their absence the affec-
tion of their countrymen towards Catholicism had
considerably diminished. The Pore and his Car-
dinals expected great things from this visit, but
nothing particular came out of it, and in the
earlier part of the next century the English, Dutch, I
and Portuguese abandoned the country, or were
expelled from it, one after the other ; the Dutch

aims, and the natives who would not abandon
Christianity were ruthlessly massacred.

The late Count de Nesseirate has left one son,
Count Dmitry, master of the Russian court, and two

A strike has taken place among some of the

" Several of the medical celebrities of the faculty
of Paris," says the Pays, "lately went to Brussels to visit
King Leopold, the state of whose health inspired uneasi•
nos. Although the greatest mystery prevailed as to
the position of the august patient, there is reason
to believe that the Paris medical men derided os

gerous operation for a person of the King's age.
The Duke de Brabant Las given up his journey from
Alicant, and embarked at Cadiz to return to Belgium.
The Nord remarks on the above in these terms :—"The
statement so made is not very accurate. The operation
I spoken of took place the day after the departure of the Duke
de Brabant, a proof that no fears were entertained of the
result. It was perfectly successful, and the health of the
King is now excellent. As to the Prince Royal, he has not
suspended his journey, has not been recalled, and ham not
any idea of retuning to Belgium for the present."

Belgium, a fine cherry tree not in blosoom,but bearing good-
sized cherries. It is tree that the tree has been covered
every night with matting, and has been for some weeks
past watered with lukewarm greasy water. This is • re-
workable instance of precocious vegetation."
The Prussian Staff Corps has just published the
"Campaign in Italy in 1859." In the preface of the work
is a phrase worthy of remark :—" When nearly three years
ago, war broke oat in Italy, the ordain of the armies
which were not called on to take put in it, end particularly
of that of Germany, followed with the most lively atten-
tion the events which were taking place beyond the Alps.
W hat led them to it was the interest which we took in the
fate of a federal state, to succour which policy was waiting
for the opportune moment."

The Ambassador refused to accept, as Plenipo-
tentiary to the Diet, the resolutions which ought to
have been communicated to him diplomatically as
Ambassador of Denmark, an independent State.
The Diet, therefore, resolved to communicate its
determination to the Danish government through
the Russian Ambassador at Copenhagen.

the master 120 men struck work and quitted the establish-

correspondent, giving a glowing account of the progress of the
works in the Isthmus of Suez, which be has recently visited
throughout their whole extent, in company with M. de

now doubt the feasibility of the undertaking, let them visit
