Notification., January 21, 1868.

Notification.

The following information, received from the department of foreign affairs at Yedo, is hereby published by direction of the governors of Kanagawa:

The result of the fight which took place at Yedo, on Sunday last, the 19th instant, between government troops and the robbers, occupying Satsuma’s yaski, has been that a considerable number of the latter were killed and made prisoners. Only a small party of them succeeded in escaping on board one of the Satsuma’s steamers, lying in the bay of Shinagawa, which was, however, pursued and engaged by a government steamer as soon as she left her anchorage.

The governors of Kanagawa trust that, in view of the unsettled state of the country and the difficulties which the government has at this moment to surmount, foreigners will, for some time, abstain from their excursions into the country, or, if it be found necessary to proceed beyond the settlement, that they will at least take more than ordinary precautions against all possible danger.
