VISIT OF THE CLIPPERS SHIP LADY PIERCE.
FROM The China Mad
The American clipper-ship Lady Pierce, Captain
Bur, fitted up at San Francisco in most costly man.
ner for peace expedition to Japan, arrived with
her owner, Mr. Silas Z. Burrows, ct Hong. Kong on
the 18th Of August Mr.. Burrows describes his visit
a. having been attended with the most pleasurabe
and satisfactory results. We have been favored by
him with the following notes from bis private journal:
"Tbe Lady Pierce arrived in Jeddo Bay fifteen
days after Commodore Perry had left, as token Of
amity and peace, and without any preparations for
war and the high Japanese officers said the visit
was much more pleasing to them than that OF Com
modore Perry, who had with him too many big guns
and fe htiDg men, The Japanese however, ex-
pressed the utmost regard for the Commodore and his
officers.
"The ship had been supplied at San Francisco with
every comfort and luxury likely 10 crafty and inter-
est the japanese who were surprised TO find such an
elegantly furnished vessel used a. private gentle
man yacht. Her dimensions were taken by artists,
together with delnesens Of her guns, tackle. &C.,
the authorities saying the Emperor intended TO have
two vessels built on the same model.
"On board was a Japanese woman, the sole survi-
vor of a crew of Gfteen men belonging TO a Junk
which had been blown out to sea, and was picked up
near the Sandwich Islands after having drifted about
for seven months. This man named Dee. yee- noskee,
was received with the most lively demonstrations Of
pleasure by his countrymen, who listened with much
delight to his graphic description of his rescue from
the junk, ana kind treatment by the Americans, es-
pecally on board the Lady Pierce, in which he had
been by the kindness of her owner, permitted free
passage TO his native country. The Japanese, espe-
cialy the lower orders, profuse in expression,
by words and gestures Of their gratitude to Mr.. Bur
rows who seems TO be of opinion that Dee-yee-no-
skee, of fair talents is likely, by his account
OF American manners and customs, to accomplish
more than hosts of ambassadors toward forming and
cem.nting an intimacy betwIt the japanese and
foreigners.
Shorty aftei the arrival of the Lady Pierce at
Urago, orders were received from the capital that
Mr.. Burrows should be supplied with everything he
might require, and received with similar hospitality
to that displayed toward Commodore Perry. With
party Of the Urago officials on board, the Lady
Pierce proceeded to within ten miles Of Jeddo, and
her expressed desire to anchor of that city
but this was objected to by the officers who said 1t
is not good; Commodore Perry did not go there, and
we hope you will not. During the stay OF the yes
sell every part Of her crowded with visitors, who
were profusely regaled with the refreshments with
which the vessel had been provided fresh oyters and
peaches being their fsvorite delicaces, with cham
psgne as beverage; and although at one time there
must have been several thousands in and around the
ship, and though everything, silyer.ware included,
was thrown open 10 their inspection, not a single
lacqueied ware, &c, were made in the name OF the
Emperor to MIR. Burrows, who however, was re-
uueeted to give publicity TO his determination that
henceforwaId in accordance with stipuations IN the
treaty, no foreign intercourse Whatever wouiu DE
permitted with Jeddo but that all vessels must pro
coed either TO Smoda or TO the other ports thrown
open TO American trade.
"From Jeddo Bay, therefore, the Lady Pierce pro
seeded TO Simods under the pilotage OF three men
sent on board by the authorities, and escorted by
Government cutter, manned by TWO ofhcers ana ~
men, who had received orders TO render every assist
ance that might be required. During the entire stay
Of the vessel no guard placed over her. nor was
any restriction put upon landing, OF winch nr. baf
rows twice took advantage while in Jeddo bay, ana
or both occasions was received with every marx OF
courtesy He is, however, of opinion, win inc oui-
GERS of the United States squadron that no extensive
foreign commerce can possibly, al least ior many
years TO come be carried on with Japan lie says Ne
applied for coal, and was told at first that Govern
ment had determined not TO dispose OF their sea
'coal; but after reference TO Jeddo, he was IN
formed he might have as much a. he required az u %
per picu $2s atunsuch coal as he saw at the de-
pot being Of very inferior description to thai sold In
Oregon at ss tun."
Mr.. Burrows Gays the Japanese are fully aware OF
the present disturbed state of China which they i'm
puie entirely TO the effects of foreign intercourse and
considers the enormous prices fixed upon such COM
modities as he desired to purchase certain index
that fear alone dictated their Emperors scquiescence
in the demand made by Commodore Perry. He ike
wise asserts the Japanese TO be nation of atheists,
denying the existence of God and selesting as an
object of worship either the Spiritual Emperor at
Meaco or any other Japanese. He was told by the
interpreters that formerly their gion similar
TO that Of China. but that the belief in Supreme Be-
ing had latterly been entirely discarded; and they
protested 10 be much shocked on Dee wee. no skee
declaring his belief in the Deity, to whom, and not
TO the Spiritual or Temporal Emperor, he said his
successful applications for and thankful ackno wledg-
meDs of dehverance from the drifting junk had been
directed.
