THE TROUBLES IN JAPAN.

Accounts from Kanagawa represent affairs there as still unsettled, and state that it was only in consequence of the presence of a large fleet that an outbreak was prevented. The Japanese Government seemed very determined in their efforts to close that port, and had even officially stated to the British Minister that it was essential in order to preserve peace. The same statement had been made to the French Minister, and threatening language used. There was a cordial co-operation between the Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands, who had held a number of conferences, and were agreed as to the policy to be pursued, and were making united efforts to check the policy which the Japanese Government were disposed to carry out. In addition to the British fleet already in these waters the British ship-of-war Conqueror, with a battalion of marines, was expected daily. This would give the British fourteen ships and fifteen hundred men. There were besides a French corvette the Duplex—and two Dutch corvettes in port. The American Minister has asked that ships may be sent to him as soon as possible, as it is necessary that a show of force should be kept up by all the Powers having treaties with Japan.
