bles that can be raised in Massachusetts nor

INTERCOURSE WITH JAPAN, although as
yet strictly forbidden by the Japanese gov
eruinent, seems destined to be opened by
the Americans, our whalers having during
the last season visited the coast by hundreds,
and exchanged ciSilities with the junks as
we'd as relieving those in distress. The
Honolulu Friend informs Us that young
sailor named Rauaid Mcdonald of the
American whaIer Plymouth, was at his own
urgent solicitation, left on the coast i'm an
open boat, furnished with provisions, arms,
etc.. wish the determination Of doing some
thing towards opening that Theoretically
sealed empire. de is son of Archibald
Mcdonald, Esq, formerly of the Hudson's
Bay Company, young man OF good edu-
cation, aud he was especially ambitious to
penetrate the mysterious seclusion of the
island empire, having long before, at the
Sandwich Islands, arranged with Captain
Edwards, of the Plymouth, to be set ashore
on the coast of Japan. He expected to
pick up knowledge of the language and
make his way TO Jedo, there to be ready to
perform the part of interpreter as soon as
the English or Americans should succeed in
opening trade with the Japanese. When
last seen, his little boat was entering a bay
OF. the island of Tee Shee. Another wha-
ler. the Uncas, picked up at sea the rudder
nj his boat; and it is not known what has
become of the bold adventurer. But we
shall hope, in course of time, to hear of
him again, and perhaps from him, in the
form OF book, expounding some Of the
latest wonders OF this tabooed empire.
