From THE JAPAN SQUADRON. - The
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times gives the following as the sub
stance Of dispatches received by the Navy
Department from Commodore Perry, dated
Macao, April 9th:
"The Commodore gives not the slightes!
intimalion that Minister Marshall had, up
10 that time, interfered in the Chinese dis
turbance. On the requistlon Of Mr.. Mar
shall, the steamer Susquehanna had gone to
Shanghae, an event which had caused the
Commodore no little embarrassment, as
that vessel was designed for the flagship oi
the squadron.
Commodore Perry proposed 10 sail for
Shanghae in day or two, and would 60
thence direct to Japan. He does not ex-
pect 10 accomplish anything definite on The
first trip to Japan, but will embrace the op-
portunity 10 make such demonstrations and
observations as will enable him to get an
idea Of the disposition and feelings of the
Japanese with reference to the objects Of
his mission, respecting which nothing is
known in China. In the meantime, the
stars and stripes will be usefully employed
in explorations and surveys, with view to
the establishment Of drpots and ports Of re-
ireShments for steamers and other vessels
running between California and China
The squadron will probably return to Ma
Gao, from the first visit 10 Japan, about Oc-
lober, and will repeat the visit next year
Il is understood that feet surgeon Ed
mund L. Duburry will return 70 the United
States very soon."
THIS ISDIcTMENr OF Col. Collier
We copied, short lime since, the state
ment of California paper, that the grand
jury Of San Francisco had found true bill
Of indictment against Col. James Collier,
late Collector Of that port, charging him
with having misappropriated some 100000
of the public funds. The Washington Re
public, noticing this statement, says Col
Golfers accounts have never been adjusted
BY the Department. He acknowledges hav-
ing in his possession moneys belonging to
the United States, but had steadily refused
10 pay them over, until the Department
should allow him certain suspended items
charged against him From the hrst, how
ever, be declared bis readiness 10 stand a
suit and abide the issue, whatever it might
be. II seems tie Department preferred to
take the more summary method Of a Grim
inal prosecution, which will probably end in
smoke. Perhaps The prosecution in Mr..
Kings case rests uP pom a similar basis"
FRoN FoRT LARAMiE.-A corresponden,
Of the st. Louis Republican, writing from
Fort Laramie, June 2sth, says that the en-
igralion this season has been larger than was
expected. Up to this time there have pass
ed about six thousand wagons, tweniy-ihree
thousand persons. and one hundred and fifty
thousand cattle. Owing TO cool weather
and rain, cattle have got along finely, but
few lame, and those are sold 10 the swarm
Of buyers that line the road, at exorbitanl
prices. We hear Of no sickness, and sup
pose there never were as many persons tray-
elled the same distance who were 50 healthy.
A formidable conspiracy against the life
Of the Sultan, got up by the 1maums or "a
natical party, had been discovered, and hf-
teen Of the leadees had been arrested and
bow-stringed. They proposed to dcposo
the Sultan in favor Of bis brother, and to
declare war against Russia. Tbg greatest
discontent prevailed among the Redifs OF
reserve corps, who were lhnsting for a cru
sade against the Greeks. The Turkish au-
thorilies were eTerting themselves to pre-
vent disturbances in Conslaniinople, which
would serve the designs Of Russia.
