The point OF interest in this nelg Is the fact that
Com Perry concluded treaty OF amity and friendship
Of Yedo, on the 18th Of March 1854 The long doubted
attempt has been entirely successful and 10 the United
States belongs the honor Of making the first international
After frequent meetings between Com. Perry on the
part OF the United States an6 the High Com mssioners
deputed By the Emperor the prt OF the Japanese,
GUIDED clue on the s sS Of March We have not

be free to visit the interior TO the distance OF ten

into the most unqualified stpulatons for the protection
