Mr. Plunkett to The Earl of Derby.―(Received April 24)
(No. 40)
Yedo, March 3, 1876
My Lord,
About 9 o’clock on the afternoon of the last instant I received a private note from Mr. Iwakura, translation of which is herewith inclosed, informing me that negotiations with Corea were concluded, and that a Treaty had been signed on the 27th of February.
I have the honour to inclose copy of the reply I wrote unofficially to Mr. Iwakura on receipt of his Excellency’s note, as well as of a private letter which I received next morning from the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, and of the note which I sent to him in acknowledgment of his communication.
No particulars having yet been published, I called this afternoon on Mr. Terashima, and after congratulating his Excellency on having so quickly obtained a pacific solution of the Corean question, I inquired whether he could tell me what were the conditions of the Treaty.
His Excellency, who were evidently overjoyed at the success of Mr. Kuroda’s mission, replied that he could tell me nothing more than what I had heard from Mr. Sameshima.
Mr. Kuroda had merely telegraphed one single line from Shimonoseki, and was coming on directly to Yedo, where he ought to arrive on the 5th. After the Commissioner’s arrival only would the Cabinet itself know the conditions; but Mr. Terashima added laughingly, “when the news is good, one line is sufficient.”
The substance of Mr. Kuroda’s telegram was published yesterday in the Proclamation, of which a translation is herewith inclosed.
Nothing whatever had been heard from Mr. Kuroda since the end of January, and nothing had transpired as to how he had been received on his arrival at Kokwa. The intelligence, therefore, has taken everybody by surprise, and has been, as far as I can yet judge, received with pleasure, and more especially with relief, by the public, both foreign and Japanese.
I have, &c.
