YOKOHAMA, August 8, 1872.
About month ago sent the HERALD copy Of
an insulting letter that was despatched to the
Japanese by the Coreans. The publication Of this
letter has had tremendous effect and all classes
are clamoring for war. have been told by some
high ocials that the pressure brought to bear is 30
great that 1t is doubtful whether the government
will be able to resist what appears to be the general
DESIRE The great fear OF the government seems
to be that should 1t drain japan Of all Its troops to
invade Corea, the probabilities Of rising at home Of

1t Is rumored that the Coreans are purchasing
arms from China and are diligently drilling and
preparing for an invasion Of Japan. A war between
these two countries would not do great deal Of
harm after all. On the contrary, foreign nations
might achieve thereby what they have failed to OBJ
tain hitherto by diplomacy.
PRINCE TOZA'S DEATH.
The Prince of Toza, who played very prominent
part in the late war for the overthrow OF the
Tycoon, died at Jeddo on the 2Sth ult. Toza,
Satsuma and Choisin were the three principal
Daimios who initiated the revolution. As soon as
the war was over Toza refused to take Off ce.
He retired to private life, where he could
better continue ia q wild life Of dissipation
and riot, to which he had accustomed
himself since his early youth and which has caused
his death at the comparatively early age Of forty
years. Toza was man of some good points, pos.
sessing great courage and sound Judgment but his
failings were great that they entirely 0bscured
the better points Of his character. License and
deDauch had far more attractions for him than af-
fairs OF State His successor is said to possess all
his fathers acuteness OF mind, but is otherwise a
chip of the old block; but there are strong hopes
entertained OF his ultimate and permanent amelora-
ton.
PIRACY IN PORT.
On the 23d oflast month the ship Honai Maru, Eu-
ropean built ship but now owned by Japanese, was
attacked while lying at anchor of Kanagawa, only
five miles from the Yokohama anchorage, by six
armed men in Junk. After short con-

A most scandaous and disreputabie occurrence
has Just occurred in Kobe in which two american
newspaper published In Kobe which occasionally
receives correspondence from Yokohama. The
HtO0O Ne,cS (such Is the name OF the paper pub
lished on June the following sentence, which was
contained in letter from Yokohama :-"Dr. Spin

or 'coppered the ace the other night, and is

Assistant Surgeon Tryon had, while he was in
charge of the United States Naval Hospital
at Yokohama, taken up his residence at the
American Legation. Being tall man he assumed
for granted that the obnoxious paragraph referred
to him. Several efforts were made to discover the
writer In Yokohama but without success, though
suspicion strongly pointed to an acting naval 0lcer.
When the frigate Colorado arrived at Kobe, DR..
TryOn, who had been transferred to that vessel,
called upon the proprletors OF the Nelcs and de-
manded the name Of the writer. This was refused.
But the oflcer was given to understand that II
