Japan.

A German, named Gerstaocker, has re-
Gently published the result of five years
journey around the world, in which he
gives the following travellers gossip respect
ing Batavia and Japan:
The ''toko" is, it seems, the name of
the sale or store opened at Batavia on the
arrival of tie Japan ship. The goods are
offered for three months, being first ex-
hibitcd by the Governor and ladies of the
court, then eagerly bought up by the fash
ion Of the tewn, when the remnant is event.
tually sent to Holland. The goods consist
Of the famous varnishcd wares, bronze
and porcelain, silks, playthings, &c. The
varnish is poorly initiated By the Chinese.
at is SO extraordinarily composed, that it
allows boiling water on its surface without
injury; the tea-cups made OF wood, and
covered with it, are fitted for use accord
iugly" The Grape shawls are beautifully
woven and colcred: in three days not one
of them was left. Indeed, "hundreds have
hard time at Batavia when the japanese
ship arrives" The whole commerce of
Java is an exchange of goods; no money
received.
The Emperor of japan is an independ-
ent sovereign; accepting no presents. The
King of Holland sent him gift, which
he declined; answering quite Indignantly,
of he, the Emperor of Japan, made
present to the King Of Holland, he could
do so, for he was the Emperor Of Japan;
but this being quite another thing, he
would not accept it. 10 show His Excel
lency, the Governor of the Indies, his
continual grace, he sends him annually
one dozen of thick wadded gowns, very
useful for climate like Batavia, which are
put up at auction just as regularly as they
are received"
The Dutch at pecima, "a small island,
or part of the main isle of Niphon, con-
nected by a bridge not to be passed with
out authority,) arc made comfortable by
the japanese authorities. "Those who
are stationed a. Decima, as well as those
who come over there with the annual ves-
sci, get, while they stay, wife each, for
which he has to pay certain rent annu-
ally; but if he leaves the station, he must
also leave his japanese spouse; and if she
have children, they are Japanese, and not
permitted to follow the father"
Mr.. Gerstaecker became acquainted with
DR.. Mohnike, who had passed three years
at Decima, and was one Of the Ambassa-
adors sent to Jcddo on the pilgrimage
which takes place trionnially. He is sure
DR.. NJ. could tell great deal "if the
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1853-08-19


Dutch Government would allow him tc
write about such things" That person
age, however, showed him some books and
prints smugsled out of the country, for
the japanese are very jealous Of such ex-
portations. Numerous persons were ex-
ecuted after another German, Seybold,
who had been in the service Of the Dutch
Government at Decima, and collected a
great many such forbidden things on the
sly, had left Japan"
Mr.. Gerstaecker thinks the Emperor
will refuse to receive the American expi-
dition; Cor if he does grant them an in
terview, he will dismiss them again with
out even promises" If the Americans
do force an entrance upon some point, and
do not take the whole island, they will be
walled up in short time, and permitted
to see very little Of their neighbors. Still
the islands are too small to resist for any
length of time renewed attacks; and his
Majesty will have to yield first his coun-
try and then his crown, just about as will
lingly as the California Indians, or Sikhs,
or Australian blacks; or, in fact, all other
countries overrun by strangers and enc
mics
