A. .s .,ai OF the government of Japan there is
now boy emperor Of only fifteen years OF age,
and the affairs Of State are administered by
Prince Regent. The last news received from ia
pan gives the account e the assassination Of tins
Regent in the middle # the day while returning
from his customary daily audience with the Fun
peror, by band Of armed retainers OF Prince Of
great newer who is hostile to the progressive
movements Of the present government This al
fair Of the gravest importance is brought home to
Prince Mito, who.e soldiers the assaants were.
Mito is one Of the three ttular brothers of the
Emperor, from whose families the royal succession
is maintained, and it is but little more than n
year vince he was himself an aspirant to tho
throne Mito was not selected nor even SD much
rs honored with the Office Of Regent, and hence
his disafection. Such his attitude towards
the government n year since. that he WAS ohlgel
70 resign his pretensons to tho crown in ta,er u
his son. and since that time he has been tho otter
enemy Of the present Government. Mto i, IT,"
opponent Of oil progressive measures. and look.
with jealousy and disrust upon all acts which
tend to throw Japan open to the commerce of the
world The American treaty is to him espc-
cial object Of distrust and dislike, aud were he
and his party strong enough to gain the power.
there would he an end to all commercial inter.
course between this country and japan. One
year ago, on the same day of tls last attack the
Regents norimon was fired into by one OF Nj
to's followers, and there tnmor that the
late Emperor died BY poison administered at tue
instigation OF this Prince. The burning of tho
Emperor's palace was another of his works, ard
the murder Of the Dutch shipmas,crs wns instign-
ted bv him in order to embroil the pie ent dynas
ty 10 foreign quarrel.
And yet in the face Of these facts, the Govern.
ment assures the foreign representatives that this
broil does not affect foreign affairs, hut with the
antecedents OF Mito before this does At seem
so clear With an hereditary right to the throne,
apowerful prince can certainly work upon the
ancient prejudices of people to n very cons Ter
commit acts Of violence like those We have rec f.
ded and 20 UNPUBLISHED, there is no telling What
his next step may be.
Alarms and paucs of all sorts prevail in ia.
PAM and foreigners by no means safe there,
although the present Government does all it Gun
tc protect them.
Perhaps before Che present Embassy reach jed
do, Mite will have raised the standard ot ri I'll
war. ana perhaps he will be master Of tho coun
try, in which case all our nicely laid plans will
be overthrow. and we shall have cast CUR bread
upon the waters, Ia, to be returned to u.s. even
alter many days.
Now that the japanese have left US, we eau
begin to calculate il our ou,lays are likely to be
returned in the profits of their trade ami good
will.
