JAPAN.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes a letter
from Yeddo, dated July 5, which states that not-
withstanding the decree of expulsion against the
foreigners, their position in Japan was relatively
better than formerly. Admiral JUMPS bad divided
the defence of Yokohama with Admiral Kuper,
and it had been arranged that if it became necessary
to fortify the place, the French and English artillery
should co-operate with that object. On the let July
an envoy from the Tycoon waited upon the French
minister, and requested that some ships of war
might be placed at the service of the Japanese
government for the transport of troops to Kioto.
This request could not be complied with, and it was
arranged that merchant vessels should be em-
ployed. On the following day the envoy had
another interview, and the representatives of
France and England proposed that the Tycoon
should open the port of Hiago and the town of
Osacca as evidence of the goodwill by which be
declared himself to be animated, and as the only
means of mitigating the serious consequences which
the expulsion decree would occasion in Europe,
The reply of the envoy wat evasive. The corre-
spondent of the Moniteur says that the position of
affairs was tranquil, and that foreigners had no
intention of leaving their establishments. He
states, in conclusion, that Admiral Juares had been
reinforced by two French vessels, and that Colonel
Neale had written to China for reinforcements.
