The Japanese Ambassadors at Faris,

Oa Tuesday the French Emperor and Empress
received in public audience at the Tuileries his
Excellency Jkeda Tsikougo no Kami, of the family
of the daimois Jkeda, Frst Ambassador of the
Tycoon of Japan ; his Excellency Kawatsou Jdzou
no Kami, former governor of Hokodadi, Second
Ambassador of the Tycoon ; and his Excellency
Kawada Sagami no Kami, Third Ambassador.

Their excellencies were accompanied by the
councellors and secretaries of the embassy.

Their Majesties were seated on the throne, hav-
ing with them the Prince Imperial, and were sur-
rounded by the great officers of the Crown and the
chief officials of the palace. The Minister for
Foreign Affairs was present.
His Excellency Jkeda Tsikcugo no Kami ad-
dressed the Emperor as follows, speaking in the
Japanese language. His words were first trans
lated into Dutch by the Japanese interpreter, and
then into French by M. Blekman, secretary and
interpreter to the French L-g ition at Japan :--
"By the order received from his Majesty the
Tycoon of Japan to give proofs of his sincerity and
goad-will, we Lave the honour, as ambassadors, to
respectfully hand your Majesty autograph letters,
wishing happiness to your Majesty and prosperity
to your subjects.
" Since a treaty has been concluded between the
two empires friendship has extended from day to
day ; but on account of great changes in our old
habits there have been some disorders in the no-
tional sentiment. Every possible effort has been
made to take measures to appease these disorders,
but at present success has not been obtained.
"In fact some Japanese have fired with cannons
on one of your Majesty's vessels of war, end have
even assassinated one of your military officers. His
Majesty the Tycoon has ordered us to express to
your Majesty his deep regret at these accidents,
and, to prove his good-will and his friendly senti-
ments, has ordered us to unite in conference with
one of the high subjects of your Majesty, in order
to give the necessary explanations, so that the geed
relations on both sides may externally continue.
His Majesty the Tycoon prays your Majesty to have
confidence in us, for we have all three been chosen
by him."

His Excellency the First Ambassador then
handed to his Majesty Om letters written by the
Tycoon of Japan.
The Emperor replied as follows :.—" I am grate-
ful to the Tycoon of Japan for having recognised
the necessity of giving me explanations as to the
difficulties in the execution of the treaty concluded
between us, and respecting the attack made on a
French officer. I sincerely desire to see our rela•
tions extend more from day to day : but to insure
this your Government ought in the first place to
cause international laws to be respected, and to con
vince itself well of the understanding between
European Powers to defend their honour and their
interests in distant countries. The steps you have
taken is the proof that your Sovereign regrets that
which passed, and I see you amonget us with
pleasure."
The ambassadors were then conveyed to their
hotel with the customary formalities. It is ex.
peeled that they will leave Paris for Holland in
few days;
