SPAIN.

The following letter has been addressed to the
France :

Part', Feb. 28.

In your number of the lith February last I read a letter
from Spain relative to the royal family, and in which I
find the following phrase referring to myself :—" As to the
Infante Don Enrico, the only one whose absence has
hitherto been remarked and regretted, he is said to be
about to rerumehispost of honour by the side of the Queen."
I must declare that assertion to be without foundation.
Faithful to the principles of liberty which I have pro-
fessed all my life, I cannot admit that my place of
honour at the present moment lan be where illustrious
Spaniards have been victims of a most violent reaction,
and where a regime of terror and proscription has replaced
the most essential sacred rights and guarantees of the con-
stitution. I have left Spain, determined to sacrifice every-
thing, even the future of my children, and live abroad,
poor and forgotten in my retirement, rather than by my
presence at Madrid appear to approve of acts so deplor.
able. In the meantime, until that situation, so painful
for my country, shall have ended, it is in France, a gene-
rous and hospitable nation. that my post of honour is at
present to be found. —Receive, &0., ENRICO MARIA.

JAPAN.

The Japau Herabi gives the following account of
"an attempt made to intimidate" Sir Harry Parkes
on the 31st of December :

This morning as her British Majesty's minister was
riding through Sinagawa he was confronted by a Ysoonin
who, planting himself in the middle of the road, stood in
a threatening attitude with his sword partially drawn.
The Yaconins who composed the minister's escort,
being called on to arrest the man, looked every
other way and allowed him to walk off. Sir
Harry Parkes, determined not to let the fellow
escape, rode after him, followed by the troop-sergeant-
major. The man, finding he was closely pursued, took to
his heels, but was soon brought to bay, pale as death. At
the order of the minister the man was then seised by the
Yaconins and disarmed, the two swords, after some show
of reluctance on the part of the Yaconins, being handed
over to the minister. The disarmed Yaconin was then led
a prisoner to the British legation, where he was soon given
over to the custody of a Japanese official who had been
sent for to receive him.

The Overland China Mail of January 15, says :
The civil war is now is now officially announced to be
over, Chesil' being allowed to retain ressession of his
conquests on the other aide of the Straits. Stotebashi,
the new Tycoon, has recently had a conference with the
Mikado, end as Mamba meeting at Osaka with the principal
Daimim. Reports from a reliable source state that the
two conferences promise well for the foreign status in
Japan. fitotsbeshi seems fully inclined to enforce
the observance of treaties and to foster the
acquirement of European arta and languages amongst
his countrymen. Diplomacy has been actively engaged
during the pint month in arranging and completing a new
convention for improvements in the settlement, and the
liberal concessions acquiesced in by the Japanese govern-
ment in favour of foreigners, are tangible proofs of the
improved and more liberal feeling which is daily shon
itself on the part of the Japanese towards foreigners.
In Yeddo a series of fires have taken place ; the
last, which commenced on the night of Friday, the
14th January, being the moat extensive for a great
many years. We are told indeed, that four tulles
of houses have been destroyed in the commercial
quarter.
