NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A private letter from Japan (dated prior to the announcement that Britain has in duced China to open all her rivers to trade) Informs us that there is great dissatisfaction among leading Japanese at what la
considered the feebleness of Britain's policy. (Of course, this only means that the Japanese are in a great burry for something exciting to happen, while British policy is character. Iatically deliberate.) Japan is eager for a specific Anglo-Japanese alliance, offensive as well as defensive; Britain prefers to leave alliances unwritten, for the unwritten bond is the strongest. Any law can be evaded, any treaty torn up; but the Invisible forces of cause and effect, supply and demand, circumstances and necessities bore Ports on WEDNESDAY, the gth instant,these are what the British use Instead of documentary futilities.
