TREATY WITH JAPAN.

(Prom a Supplement to Ilimsday's Gazette)
BY THE QUEEN—A PROCLAMATION.

VICTORIA, R.—Whereas, in and by the Treaty of Peace,
Friendship, and Commerce, agreed upon and concluded be-
lls and His Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, and signed on
the twenty-sixth day of August last, it is (amongst other
things) stipulated and agreed, that there shall be
perpetual peace and friendship between Us and
His said Majesty; that certain Ports and Towns
therein mentioned, in the Dominions of His said
Majesty, shall be opened to British subjects at the respec-
tive dabs therein also mentioned (the earliest of such dates,
as to thet orts of Hakodadi, and Kanagawa, and Nagasaki,
being the first day of July, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine) ; and it is thereby
further stipulated, that the Articles for the regulation of
Trade, which are appended to the said Treaty, shall be
considered as forming a part of the same, and shall be
equally binding on both the contracting parties to the
said Treaty, and on their subjects; and whereas, until
the ratification of the said Treaty (of which due notice will
be given), the existing laws and regulations of Japan re-
main in full force; and British subjects are thereby inter-
dicted, under severe penalties, from all trade and inter-
course with Japan, otherwise than in strict accordance
with such laws and regulations ; and whereas wo have
been given to understand, that divers persons, being
British subjects, have despatched, or are preparing to de-
spatch, to Japan certain ships and vessels, which ships
and vessels are appointed or intended to proceed to,
and to trade, or endeavour to trade with, and to
hold intercourse with Japan, contrary to, and in violation
of, the existing laws and regulations of Japan, and before
the Ratification of the said Treaty, and otherwise in con-
travention of the said Treaty, if the same shall be hereafter
ratified ; and whereas all attempts to violate the said laws
and regulations before the Ratification of the said Treaty,
and all attempts to contravene or violate the stipulations
thereof, after its Ratification, will tend seriously to frustrate
and will greatly endanger the success of our attempts to esta-
blish and maintain friendly relations and promote commercial
intercourse with his said Majesty tho Tycoon of Japan, and
his subjects, and
Swill be in derogation of the laws and usages
of nations, and will prove highly prejudicial to our dignity
and good faith, no less than to the rights and interests of
all our loving subjects, and will tend to the perpetration of
serious crimes and offences, and will be of great public dan-
ger and detriment : We have therefore thought fit to issue
this our Royal Proclamation, hereby warning all our loving
subjects, that all such enterprises and practices hereinbefore
mentioned, are and will be carried on and committed in viola-

tion of the laws of Japan, and in contravention of the provisions
of the said Treaty, if and when the same shall be ratified,
and that we will not in any manner whatsoever interfere

to prevent the forfeiture of any ships, or vessels, or goods,
which may be employed in such enterprises or practices, or
the infliction of pecuniary penalties or fines upon any per-
sons engaged therein; and we do hereby farther make
known to all our loving subjects, that instructions have
been given to the Commanders of our Ships. of War, in
the ports of Japan, and in the waters near the same,
to assist and support by all lawful means, his said
Majesty the Tycoon of Japan and his Government,
in preventing any violation, evasion, or contraven-
tion by British subjeCts, of the laws of Japan, or of the pro-
visions of the said Treaty, or of the Articles for the Regula-
tion of Trade appended thereto, if and when the same shall
be ratified, and to prevent and hinder, by all lawful means,
any attempt whatsoever by British subjects to violate or
evade, in any manner whatsoever, the laws of Japan,
within any of the dominions of his said Majesty the Tycoon
of Japan, or to contravene, in any manner whatsoever, any
of the provisions of the said Treaty, or of the said Articles,
if and when the same shall be ratified.

Given at our Court, at Buckingham Palace, this 2d day
of February, in the year of our Lord, 1859, in the 22d
year of our roign.

God save the Queen.
