Sir H.S. Parkes to the Earl of Derby (Received August 24)

(No. 91)
Yedo, July 17, 1875

My Lord,

I should inform your Lordship that it was reported, apparently upon good authority, on the 11th instant, that official intercourse between Japan and Corea had been broken off, and that the Japanese Envoy or Agent Moriyama and all the Government officials had left Corea on the 5th instant. The Japanese traders, it was added, remained at the Japanese settlement of Corea, but trade as well as foreign intercourse had been stopped.
I endeavoured to obtain some information from the Foreign Minister relative to this report on the 12th instant. He admitted that a difficulty had arisen between Moriyama and the Corean authorities on a point of dress, owing to the latter having refused to receive Moriyama in European costume. But it was not true, he said, that Moriyama had broken off relations or had left Corea; he had only dispatched Hirotsu, one of his officers, to Yedo with his report, and that officer had not yet arrived.
The Prime Minister, Sanjô Daijôdaijin, also stated to me on the 13th instant that Moriyama had not left Corea. The Foreign Minister repeated this to me on the 15th, and mentioned that Hirotsu had arrived in Yedo; but, he added, that he had not yet seen him, nor had he heard the character of his intelligence.
In the meantime the report referred to above found circulation in the native press in the form of a letter said to have been received from an officer of a Japanese ship-of-war, which was reported to have arrived at Nagasaki from Corea. The Government were much annoyed at the publication of this letter, and are said to have threatened the editors of three papers with prosecution for having published it. I inclose a translation of the letter in question, accompanied by the remarks of one of the offending papers after it had been warned by the Government.
It is curious to note in the said letter a circumstantial account of the surveying operations said to have been carried on by a Japanese ship-of-war on the Corean coast. If this account be true, the said ship examined nearly the whole eastern coast line of Corea, together with the important northern harbour of Port Lazaret(sic.). It also mentions the arrival of a second ship-of-war at Fusankai (Corea), and that she also had been engaged in surveying.
It will occur to your Lordship that I reported in my despatch No. 65 of the 25th May that I had asked the Foreign Minister whether it was the case that two Japanese ships-of-war were then being dispatched to Corea, and that he had assured me that this report was not true, and that the vessels in question were only being sent to the Japanese island of Tsusima in order to give the officers some practice in surveying. I also observed in my letter to Mr. Wade, which I inclosed in my despatch to your Lordship, that the Foreign Minister had added that these vessels had not been authorized to cross the Corean coast, but that the event would show whether these injunctions, if given, would be observed.
It is not impossible that the appearance of these ships in Corean waters, and their proceedings there, if these be of the kind named in the printed letter, may have had as much to do with bringing about the difference now reported as the question of dress. It is only as events gradually transpire that we shall probably learn the true bearings and extent of this difference; but the true belief among Japanese at present is that the course of negotiations between their country and Corea has been disturbed.

I have, &c
