Law, with the mails and 81, 0,O00 specie

morning. She also brings upwards of 400
passengers, among whom is Capt Adams,
bearer Of dispatches from Com. Perry.
Capt. Adams, brings the Japan treaty which
secures to the Americans the privilege of a re
sidence at two ports. The treaty was signed
by Com. Perry, on the part of the United
States Government, and by three of the prin-
cipal Princes of the Empire, on behalf of the
Emperor, ON the 3lst of March 1854. The
treaty has opened to the commerce of the I'm
tied States two ports, Chackoddi, in the
Straits OF Sangar-a principal port for whalers;
and Schmudi, at the entrance of Jeddo Bay,
which will be the principal port of trade and
the depot for Goals. The China steamers will
be supplied with Goals brought to that place
from the interior of the island. The japanese
contract to have 10000 tons of good coal at
Schmudi, and the supply will be always kept
up. The place where the negotiations were
carried on, is called Kenehgawa, and is with

boats of the United States squadron SURVEYED
the channel up to Jeddo, and were at one time

They found the channel open and plenty of
water for ships of the largest draught.
The treaty arranges for intercourse between
Americans and the japanese at both of the
above named ports. Also for the residence of
American citizens, consuls, sc. 1t also stip-
ulates that Americans residing in or visiting
these ports shall be free to visit the interior to
the distance of ten or twelve miles without
snolestation. 1t is said that the Japanese did
not hesitate to enter into the most unqualified
Sapulatons for the protection Of seamen or
others, thrown their shores; indeed, they
affirm that 1t was already part Of the law Of
the empire by special edict. They even insist
ed that the respective governments should pay
the expenses of providing for the the necessi-
ties of the citizens of the other who might by
their misfortune, need, aid and comfort.
