The Japau Expedition.

- The Washington correspondent OF the N
Y. Journal of Commerce referring to the
late accounts from the Japan exdedition, re-
marks:
The accounts which we have from officers
attached to.the Japan squadron under Com
modore Perry, do not lead tothe conclusion
that the expedition has effected any consld-
cradle object. The commodore was aecred-
tied as an ambassador, and he bad power to
make treaty of alnity and commerce. lie
bore letter from the President of the L nj
ted States to the Emperor of Japail--a let
ter boxed and sealed in costly manner,
and couched in the most winning manner
and courteous terms, from the newest to the
oldest civilized dominions in the world
The credentials and the letter we're, it seems,
delivered TO some official parsonage, and
then, without any prospect of reply, the
commodore withdrew. lie is to return 1t
seems, next spring, probably 9or the purpose
of getting an answer. 1t appears to me
that the postponement was an abandonment
of the expedition.
It was found that the japanese were pre-
pared for our reception. and ample testllno-
ny is borne to their evident intelligence and
bravery. They had, no doubl. been made ac-
quainted with our intented visit by their in
tercourse with the Dutch and the Choo Is
lands IL SO, they were evidently unwilling
to entertain any propositions from us, though
they permitted their mere delivery. and,
upon an understanding, that, therenpon, our
vessels were Immediately to depart as they
did
1t is mere waste of money to put of
.his squadron till next spring in prepara-
tion for, and in view of, another visit TO Ja-
pan, unless indeed, the United States Gov
ernment can increase its force to such an
extent as to make it formidable ''in the
presence of millions of armed people. -
However, we have made a demonstration
of our naval power in the bay of Jeddo,
and within eight miles of the imperial city.
and that is something. 1t is something that
one of our officers. with a military escort,
was permitted to land on the shores of that
bay, and deliver his official paper.

Incorporate, and 127 were drunk when
they committed the crime. There are 43
whose fathers were temperate, 197 whose

common drunkards. There are three who
have had classical education, I common
English education, los who can read and
