that is that the copies of the letters and credentials with

closed in gold box costing 81 900 also with the Com
modore credentials We had talked and palavered
matters answering many questions and among Others d.
plomazng about the prOpriey Of surveying the harbor
&c for in the morning, the boats well armed, with tho
Mississippi guard them had eded her up the bay,
sounding, and had advanced ten miles nearer to Jeddo
finding plenty of water and fine, large capacious, mag

Uraga about far vessels of size could 60, 70
great is the my stery that hangs around this land.
On the advance Of the ,sts the forts were armed the
dungaree and canvas screens behind which rested the
pixies of the soldery fairly Tapped with anger and armed
boats with about tive nty five each started out from
every point by the hundreds looking defiance but on
ward went little boats throwing thor leads and mark

on her purpose Our steam up and ell the vessels

into tie japanese forts duagaree cotton boats and ALL
few paixhan she'll My opinion is that for these thirty six
hours land partc ulary for these six the Japanese
hestaed whether not they should at once ress. and
try with the fortunes of war But ably was our
termination, both in council and in conduct utterly
careless of any action their part perfectly confident
of our and power and regardless Of all
danger that they parayzed and prudent and friend
~ measures were decided.
II Is wen to remark here that they have been making
the most extensive preparations OF forts &c laely as
evident BY their new works, and those not yet finished.
Doubtless, there are full 900 boats averaging with
ers and soldiers rs In these waters have seen,
andcould have counted 500 the water beir ban
flying 40 and 50togeher others hauled the beac
ady to launch outat st mistaken for villages But
marked in their hitoy they have besn placed
the dofensye they dared not begin the game tOagh
yet believe that any harsh part,
cro6Cbment injury would cause determined and bloody
resistance for they are free frank pleasing sociabie
fearless people, and would stand bravey TO the slaughter
These traits may be expected in land where the wives
and mothers pfOyerbay yirtGous '-he exception
being the rarity and proving the rule Well will II be IL
make these peop pie friends and our allies Yes,
heretofore they have arrogany dictated to all Others but
with us the game is changed We have said so must you
do this ia way These too moving without
sails against wind and tide have struck ifno. terror at
least wonder and wisdom into their souls
