Japan and Russia.

If the reports brought by the last steam
er are to be credited, Russian diplomacy
has achieved great triumph in Japan.
The ports of that country are to be open
ed to that nation. Should this news turn
out to be correct, the United States will
have cut rather shabby figure in its ia
pan negotiations. 1t sent out a large fleet
10 that country, the Commodore Of which
was instructed to obtain some relaxation
Of its commercial restrictions. He had
an interview with the Japan authorities,
delivered a letter with which he was charg-
ed, and gave them number OF months TO
consider its proposals.
Meanwhile, during the interim, the Ras-
SLAMS have quietly stepped in. and got
the portss opened in their favor, without
any of the parade or ostentation made by
the United States. We recollect seeing
it stated at the time the United States Ex-
pedi,ion was in Japan seas. that its move
ments were observed by a Russian vessel
of.war, which was significant that thai
nation also had some design in that quar-
ter.-Enq.
