We are a little surprised, moreover, that & committee of the Senate should think it wise, just now, to provoke any further dis- cussion upon this subject.

The Mi- kado has nothing to fear, as he will be universally upheld and acknowledged throughout Japan; but not Satsuma. , It is known that accounts circulated by the gov- ernment of the victorious progress of its troops are in the main entirely false, The forces sent against Aidzu, though reported to be successful, have been completely checkmated. The glow of victory which for a time attended the Southern arms seems to have vanished since the invasion of the North, and the potency of Satsuma with the Mikado, must be much greater than is supposed, or his influence has nigh attained its utmost mit at the Emperor’s Court. The hospitals at Jeddo are reported filled with wounded Southern troops, and the fighting must have been severe. On the news reaching Shivakawa of the capture of Negata by Satsuma, Yonesawa, who had been quite equal in energy and fighting power to Aldzu, on the part of the North, resolved to become neutral, and an officer subsequently sent to him endeavored to persuade him to declare for the South. He had hitherto occupied a position which rendered any approach to Wakamatza impossible, but he now suffered 3000 Southern troops to pass, and there thus being no notice of Yonesawa’s de- fection given to Aidzu there was consternation in the town on Satsuma’s appearance before it. Aidzu, however, putting himself at the head of his troops, gave them battle, and entirely routed the invaders on the 20th October, On the 26th ult. a second force appeared before Wakamatzu, where it seems mines had been prepared. On the approach of the Southern forces three men dressed as high officers met them and de- clared that Aidza Would submit, inviting them to enter that place. When they had at a certain position the mines wore spruhy dnd the greater part of the entire force was biown to pieces, those who decoyed them pareehing: with the ys shes a martyrs to the Northern cause, In engagements five foreigners who were lead- ing the Southern were killed. In antictpa- tion of this second affack the women and every oe strong enough to wield a weapon armed them- selves. Subsequently, in consequence of some failures tn the Southern plans, Satsuni® wished to deprive Yonesawa of a portion of his territory, when the latter replied, “It is enough. If it is thus you treat your friends 1 know better than to be one of them,’’ and immediately rejoined the Northern forces. Nambu has declared openly for the North, while Sendai has become @ waverer, Tne Northern Mikado, Oveno Mia Sama, encou the Northern party to war against Satsuma to the last extremity. In the country which Aidzus’ forces occupy, with the resources they possess and favored by the winter season, the Northern leaaers believe that the south can do nothing tt them for several montha, and if nothing is done by conference during the ‘winter a more desperate struggle will take place in the spring. In the meantime the war may be re- garded as in a waiting attitude, ‘There are at last indications of the long expected visit of the Mikado to Jeddo taking place, He left Kioto on the Sth ultimo for that place and 1s expected to arrive here en route about the 28tu instant.

He was expected to reach Jeddo about the 20th ult., and is to take up his residence at Shika, a beautiful spot about two miles from the Jeddo International jotel. This imperial procession, which will be received by the natives in the usual time honored prostrate position, eyes pro! may not look upon, unless the stringent native police regulations are for the nonce relaxed, as the gates will ve closed and the route barric: off for the occasion. A conference respecting the opening of Jeddo has been held, and decisive official information respect- ing the date will ‘be given soon—in all likelihood subsequent to the visit of the Mikado to that piace. On the’6th ult., the Mikado’s birthday, a decree was issued conferring on 35,000 Kotomatos of the ex-government the same pay and allowances of rice which they received hitherto, a measure which will add considerably to the popu larity of the sovereign.

There were no further toasts, On the 17th ult. a treaty of friendship, navigation and commerce was ratified between the Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Sweden and Norway and the Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Mikado, which will take effect on the Lat of May, 1809. On the 19th uit. we steamed down to Yokohama Bay, having our Minister, General Van Valkenburgh, on board.

M., many residents of this city were startled by a shock of earthquake. The swaying motion was northwest. and southeast. It did not last long, and was much. more distinctly felt on a line between the beach and the range of hills back of the city than in other locali- ties. The same shock was felt on the opposite side of the island and was much more severe, Fears were entertained that the sugar works on the several plantations would be seriously damaged; subsequent examination, however, proved the contrary. During the week ending January 23 the island of Hawati experienced a succession of shocks, too light, however, to occasion alarm. Qn the date last men- tioned the terminal crater of Mokuaweoweo, on Mauno Loa, was very active, In the darkness, just before the break of day, the sight was magnificent. Numerous jets of red hot lava were thrown high into the air, estimated at 500 feet above the mouth of the crater, The dense volume of smoke emiticad at the same time, together with daylight, soon brought the display toa close. No reports have yet reached here as to the stream having found an outlet at a point on the slope of the mountain. ‘The whole leeward, or Kona side of Hawai, is suf- fering from drought.
