THE JAPANESE FIRST FOR VALOUR.

An offer of the Centurion tald me into course of a long talk that he was sorry to say that the Japanese were a long way the best of anything in the way of troops on shore during Seymour's march and during the aghting up to the taking of Tientsin, He had to say that they were better than Jack, and Jack had be haved splendidly. He mentioned casually that at the taking of Tientsin this fight of the first day ended in a losa exceeding what the Britid had suffered at Magersfontein, Lut, while the Highlandera declined to advance again, the Ja panese next morning, against the opinion of the Generals of the other allied Powers, went on and fought their way in.

FOR PEACE.

The Foreign Office having carried out its promise to consult the Yangtze Viceroys before negotiating for peace, the following is reported to be Chang Chih-tang's despatch on the sab jeet to Mr. Pelham Warren, H. M. Consul- General at Shenghini :---

Ever since the commencement of disturbancos in the North, trade on the Yangtze, both foreign since the entrance of the Allied forces into and native, has suffered gruntly thereby, and Poking the hearts of all men buve been greatly disturbed Ta consequence of this, therefore, the anembers of the cutlaw Kolao Hai (suciety) have repeatedly risen on all sides, under the pre- text of "protecting the Empire, creating dis turbances, setting fire to houses and pillaging the countryside. Although the high authorities sent troops to suppress these risings.

As to the rations aforesaid, they were all too short. The ordinary food soon gave out, and there remained the looted rice and the hoses.neasy. So those were eaten, and rice and hordesh was the diet of the garrison during the greater part of the siege Wine there was in reason- able quantity, and champagne was a staple drink. Whisky was plentiful, too, though braudy rau very short. It is probable that the peerness and senreity of the food was the chiefest auffor ing of the eisge.
