Yesterday afternoon. IS We are informed, the
Governor went up 70 the residence Of Sir
Harry PSrkes 10 confer with him, but the
British Minister refused 10 receive him
This must lead TO an uncomfortable state Of
things, Is the pride Of the japanese must
either yield 10 conpulSion, or he must be ne
moved from his Office. Under any circum-
stances, il converts one who was intended
as : friend and protector OF foreigners into
the ranks Of their hSterS. He has none but
himself 10 thank for the position he IS placed
in His manner has never been such as 10
f1vour the idea that he WAS our friend, and
almost every set has been rather showing
contempt for the whole race than at all
approaching TO eoneiIiation and Kindness

on the 18Th ulto, the Representative Of
the Netherlands applied TO the S2iloausho
for an escort to accompany him 10 TedO.

requested him 10 postpone his visit for some (
