The Great Republtc arrived to-day bringing Yo-kaboma dates to August 14. The Japanese adhere to their determination not to be driven into a war with China, except on the last extremity. The whole tendency of their present negotiation is pacific, so many influences are operating against them, that tbey feel the necessity of fully preparing themselves. To this end large belies ot troops have been assembled in certain southern parts, ready for departure in case of need, and seveial large steamers have been added to their transport fleet. The most important of these are the Pacific Mail erropany's ship New Y'ork, purchased for $250,000, and the P.

O. ships, Aiantha aBd Madras, for fllS.000 and $90,000 respectively. In regard to the New Y'ork, it is possible that claims for commissions yet unsettled and about to be adjudicated will swell the amouut paid by the Japanese to two hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Gen. Legendre, who sailed for China a fortnight ago to continue peaceful negotiations, commenced in form, was arrested by 1'nited States officials on landing at Amav.

It is yet unknown whether he will be temporarily or permanently detailed. The astonishment of the news of his seizure was chiefly caused by the fact that the amicable character of his mission to China was known to evervbodv. It is looked upon as another proof of determination of foreign representatives to obstruct the efforts of the Japanese to arrive at a fair understanding. Xo foreigners acting in behalf of China have ren manifested or interfered with in any way. Hie Japanese gAvernmiit.

fortunately foreseeing the possibility of obstacles in Gen- eral Legendre's case, dispatched other com- missioners immediately after his departure. who could not bo hindered in the fulfillment i of their duties. The first of the-e is Okubo. minister of the Interior, and a member of the highest board of governing, Hi assistant is Yoshibard. an ofli -fr of the Treasury Department and the bead of the Yokohoma cus'om hoiue.

They are to pro- cerd directly to Peking, Accompaiiving 1 them is a French gentleman in the legal service of Japn. So Pager are foreign ambi-'- sudors to deprive Japan of all kinds of foreisn counsel in this emprgenov, tbht the French mini-ter undertook to detain this rmplovp. hivins law an) a o-no'pte VrfiwlpHgrp of law on his side. He, was aVp toconvini'e M. Rerthrnv of tb.3 ditiH'eat thp course be was pursuins.

The Japaneese are still hopeful ot tran- fiuilizing the results of this last mission. The Mikado takes the keenest interest in the deliberations of the government on the formpr question. On the 4ti be attended the board of government and presided over the debates, an act almost without precedent in modern times. 1'nited State- Consul. General Van Bunn.

has arrived, and assumed the duties of his office. Gen. Myers and Col. Lvford. 1'nited i States army, specially commissioned by President Grant to bring preseuts of new and improved arms to the sovereign of Japan, are now in Y'eddo.

i On the 10th inst. they were, wi'h Minister Bingham, received by the Mikado. In the unlikely event of a war with China it is probable that these instruments of attack, among which are Gatling guns, would be made immediate use of. It does not appear, however, that Mr. Bingham has issued any order forbiding their delivery to the Japanese authorities.

The affair of the Siraoczki Indemnity has taken a turn that could never have bepn anticipated by the Americans. Mr. Bingham has received instructions from Washington to demand full payment and the amount hasbpen deposited to his credit. The grounds upon which the order from the State Department was based on not that the claim is just or that the 1'nited States Government desires money, but solely that, as other governments coneernpd have received a share, ours must also be paid according to the bond. The Japanese are great! chazrincd, not wholly on account of the unlooked for loss of money, but principally because they had been given to understand for the last two years that the patience of the payment would never be exacted.

In this connection they felt themselves in a better position to resist the aggressions of other nations. They now consider themselves free to be- 1 lieve that the assurances of forbearance, and unwillingness to press extortional de mands were nothing but empty declamations. It i- understood that Mr. Bingham deeply regrets the decis-sion of the State Department, which nevertheless, he is bound to enforce. He has not, tip to this moment, taken possession of the amount, hoping that another mail may bring seme modification of his instructions.

THE SOUTH. The Distribution of Troops: Washington, September 4. Attorney General Williams, before leavin? the city last evening, addressed a letter to the Secretary of War designating the localities in which troops are most needed to suppress outrages.
