The Japan Expedition.

The United States steam frigate Mississippi
sailed on Saturday the 23rd alt, from New York
for Annapolis, previous to her final departure for
Japan. She carries Commodore Perry's flag, and
at Annapolis will tEile the Commodore on board,
;and sail for Japan,In company with the PRINCETON.
The Mississippi has on board 375 souls; 29l sail
ors. Is marhers, and 80 Officers all of which are
in excellent health and spirits.
1t is probable that the squadron will rendezvous
at Hong Kong, and thence proceed to japan
The Mississippi it is said will touch at MADEIRA
ST Helena, and Cape of Good Hope, on her way
To Canton.
The New York Tribune, in an article on the
expedition to Japan says:
'sThe great interest which the expedition mas
excited in Europe, and especially IN Holland, mas
led 10 formal discussion of the matter in the pop
mar bsaEch OF the Dutch Parliament. The tsGV-
erpmert were called upon to state what had been
che results of its efforts made in the year 1874 to
induce japan to adopt more liberal policy; Mheth
er the Dutch Minister at Washington had been d.
rected, in 1851. at the request of the japanese
goyernment, and in its behalf, to declare that the
exclusive system was merely conlormable to its
ancient laws, and to palliate the same whether
the mediation of Holland between the United
States and Japan at present would not be huriul
to its own interests and whether any favorable re-
suit would be expected thereirom,
The entire debate, with the detailed answer
which the Minister the Colonies returned to
these interpretations, is given at length IN the
Dutch papers. ~
The Minister it seems, 1--WE quote the Fri
bune.) does not speak in very sanguine terms OF
the result to be anticipated. 1t is not 20 be ex-
pected. he remarks very justly, that Govern
ment like that of Japan separated as 1t is from the
world, and following its own prejOdices with rigid
consequence, should he easily induced all at once
TO depart from its habitual course. Nor is 1t to be
denied that it must be exceedingly difficult to bring
such Government to the insight that what it Is
now asked to grant as favor it must some time
be compelled to cOncede as matter OF necessity
Still we may confidently expect that the present
attempt will have no inconsiderable influence IN
expeditng the day when the Japanese nation will
finally be induced to throw down the barriers and
take its place as memberof the family Of univer-
sal humanity

munitions of war, by the manufacture of which he
gave employment to large number OF his desti-

hundred of them employed in making cartridges

expensive and costly correspondence with his a.
gents in Europe, transmitting, of course, his let
tiers, by private messengers, who went at the risk
of their lives, and had to be paid ProPorilonabiy,
and who, of course, had to be amply furnished with
