Perry 10 Jeddo
March 16-The presents for the Empetor
and Empress individually, as well as those
ior the Imperial Commissioners and the Gov
eminent of Japan, weie landed on the morn
ing OF the 18th, in as quiet, searching, and
lnslnua'ing little rain as we have seen here
at all. Nothing was damaged, however,
hey were well sheltered underneath sort
OF shed erected for them. F
But this was bull, evidently with the sup.
position that the presents were far greater in
number than they are. They looked meagre
enough, certainly; and il our list be compar-
ed with the list of articles presented by the
the Russians upon Resanoff's Embassy, it
will appear mean, and unworthy our Govern.

The miniature railroad, with its locomo-
tive, tender and car, and the magnetic ,ele-
graph, now in course Of erection. have excl.
ted great curiosity among the more in,eni-
gent Japanese. The cars will be in motion
upon circular railway, and the telegraph in
communication for distance Of abou, five
miles, in few days, when, al first, pre-
sumo, their wonder will know no bounds

the Commissioners TO Commodore Perry's
demands went on board the flag ship last
evening, and it is thought that we will soon
have the treaty signed. It has not yet
transpired whether these answers are sciis-
factory, but the Commodore is 10 land and
have another conference in day or two.
| March 19 = Day before yesterday the
Commodore held his second interview with
the Imperial Commissioners. The japanese
are willing TO grant us three ports for COM
mercial purposes. One is about seventy
miles from here 10 the southwark This is
TO be examined Immediately, and its capaci-
ties reported upon Another of the harbors
is Mdsmai, on an island of the same name,
TO the norihward. IL this be accepted, it
will be chiefly on account of our whaers en-
gagged in the Arctic Fishery. | have not

third port. r

haps more properly what the Spaniards
would call the frmds, Of the four Commits
sioners of Japan engaged with Commodore
Perry in forming the treaty. The name OF
the frs, Commissioner, (and, by the way,
you must commence from the right to read
their marks) is Hayasi; and his title is Dai.

second Commissioner is LIDO, Prince of Tsus
simi. His principality consists Of islands
lying between Gorea and Japan. The third
is Il dwa, Prince of Nina sa-ki, a princi

capital of the Empire. The fourth is lido

an assistant in the Board OF Revenue. The
name of the Imperial interpreter is Mats ma

March 2O.-By the storeship Supply, one
of our squadron, which arrived yeserda,
from Shanghai, q.e hear that tie Russians gcr
quite successful in their negotiations at Naga
saki, and not sen, off with flea in the ear
as the Japanese have all along been tellins
us. This may make some difference in ou
treaty; tor the Commodore will probably oe
rnand 10 know how much has been granted
them, and it is quite certain, if this be as
ceIiained, that he will insist upon more thai
they obtained. II would be too absurd TO d
no more with ten ships than the Russian
have accomplished with one frigate, a sma
sailing ship, belonging to the Russian-Ame
fican Company, and a small sieameT-in a
