Captain Buchanan, arrived here from Jeddo, which
port she left the 25th ult, bringing with her news
that the conditions Of treaty between the Ameri.
cans and japanese had been upon and would

the two countries Is fully opened-that two ports,

ed that by the above treaty, kind treatment and
abundant supply Of water and provisions are Sc.
cured to Americans who may arrive at any part OF
the Japanese coast.
The ports conceded are simode, in Niphon, near
Cape Yzue, and Akatane, on the islands and in the
Straits of Matsmae but 1t is agreed that should the
report of the naval officers sent to survey the above
places be unsatisfactory, other ports on the same
island will be selected in their stead.
On the 9th ult. sitter the treaty had been signed
Commodore Perry had sgnifed his intention Of
giving an entertainment to the four Imperial Com
missioners.
The railroad and electric telegraph taken by the
squadron to Japan were in successful operation
when the Susquehanna left.
The Japanese utterly deny having made any treaty
or concessions whatever, to or with the Russian
government.
After the treaty was concluded, Captain Adams
would Immediately leave in the Saratoga for

intelligence.

Of meeting. The hall, which had been run MP with
great celebrity, was about fifty feet long, forty wide
and twelve feet high, and surrounded with magnih-
cent japonicas, some OF them thirty feet in height
and In full bloom. Seats and tables about two feet
high, covered with red CLOTH extended the whole
length Of the apartment. The floor was covered
with white mats about three feet long by two wide;
and the place was heated by highly ornamented

purple Grape, and the walls were richly adorned
with paintings Of birds and fowera The hall was
situated about Ave hundred yards from the landing

the principal matter, was highly satisfactory. A

class, neat clean and comfortable. In some of them
he observed clocks Of Japanese manufacture. He
also visited several temples which, though smaller
than in China, have more gliding on their wall and
ornaments on their idols and generally are in better
