The Japan Mail writes na follows on this question:The public has probably heard all Seat it will over hear about the details and origin of the disturbanos at Bönl Count Luonys's zo- port contains the fallost, and doubtlogs the most trustworthy, account that has yet apponesd, bri | as it was presqmably compiled, in the min, trom Japanese sources, it presents the com plexion of an a-parto statement. In so fir. however, as it bears upon the cpadaot of the Japancaethemselves, it leaves little room to doubt that M Takeroyo allowed himself to bo Engalarly duped by the conspirators. The King of Korea, is evidently a potentate of the taunt patrile disposition. The story of his behaviour during the orisis is pitiful roading. It shows that the only really pru- dant and sensible instinct, which had any Influence. with him, was, the consciousness that he ought not to be separated from his mother. That alone could endue him with courage in the hour of danger, and make him willing to climb on to the back of a domosti and scramble off, under fize, to xa-anite himself ta the Royal apron-strings. One would imagine that anybody who had constant sedess to bla and be sppears to be unusually accessible for an Oriental Sovereign-must lave ganged his mental calibre at once. Mr. Taketoyo ought to have known-the-value of a summone from such a monarch, and understood that the mandate Lrought to him, during the night of the 4th, had very little spontaneity about it. But even after the Japanese Minister and made the mistake of involving himself in complications of so grava a character, fortune was kind enough to offer him an opportunity of avoiding the worst consequences of bis rashums. Had he inslutað.

Japanese. Personally the King had nothing to

Lave been quite contented and safe. In the m ment of reki danger Mr. Takezoye apprehended this, and sent the puppet menstol to make his own way through a band of soldiers who would certainly have opposed his passage had he been accompanied by Japaness. The pity is that Mr. Takoreya's appreciation of the real state of "“áróirs did not become "sifaciate a little mouer.
