THE JAPANESE REVOLUTION.

(Alta.)

Several weeks ago we enlied nitration in an editorial article to late changes in the constita, tion of Japan, but we baro con learned that they are greater than we then knew so great that they indicate the most remarkable peace. ful revolution in a popalons empire, or record, We do not pretend, however, to be even yet fully informed: the intest Japanese papers received tere have only vague inklings of what Las been going on, and the foreigners generally in Tokohama sro in serious doubt in regard to many points.

With all the difficulties, however, in getting information, wethick we can anfely say that the govemment bas been altered from a des potism to constitutional moonreby; that the fitle and functions of the sovereign have been changed; that a popular Farliament. Has been instituted; that the federal pobles bo over shadowed the crown have been deprived ol out of their wealth and hereditary power and that the Cabinet is making the most earn est atfurta to introduce the most approved methods of procedure in all the branches of the admitistration Soch reforms, undertaken by a nation 30,000,000 people, and carried through in peace within the short apace of fire yours, are entirely unexampled.

The Intest apcounts attributë maab, of the order and success of the Japaness political pro. gross to the example of Slotsbaabi, the late Tycoon, who, when his enemies‘romorted force to overthrow him, consented to the de straction of his dynasty, not un conftion of omo personal gain for himself, but if the no Eles would promise to estīblish liberal institu tio.
