Secretary Websters letter Of instructions TO Commodore
Auick accompanying the first letter 10 the Emperor
draught treaty in English Dutch Chinese and Japanese
put into the hands OF the japanese commissioners who
said that IL would receive due consideration but the old
Emperor had died since Commodore Perry there last
year, and his successor young man, who would
qaire 10 consult his council before giving final
and the commodore reminded that the japanese did
not act with the same rapdity Americans did which

THE rREArY-ITs PROVISIONS.
That the prelminares Of treaty would be settled du
ring the present visit was however than probable
It's leading provisions is said will be the opening Of three
OF the ports Japan the OF the United
States and securing supplies of coal for the Of that
country In other respects the treaty concluded pro
posed is understood 10 be nearly counterpart OF that with
China except il is said that the Japanese objected TO
clause admitting all other countries to the same
Americans not like the Chinese from whom, and not
from Sir Henry Pottnger, is generally supposed The
privileges Of the English treaty extended to MI foreign
countries. The japanese would manifest more sagac
and from ncalcuable vexaon they
determine allowing other nations to enjoy the same
mmuntes America and other, modelling all future
treaties precisely the terms But nothing be
yet certainly known the subject for the Snsquehanna
having been placed at the disposal of Mr. McLane the min

been held for the purpose of considering the treaty
DEATH AND BURIAL OF AN AMERICAN MARlSE-lMPnEssrvE
CEREMONY.
During the conference on the sth, Commodore Perry
mentioned that of the marines had died. and he was
DESTROYS of having piece Of ground pointed out where this
and any Others of the squadron that might die IN
Japan could be buried The first suggested
Nangaskai and next Uaga but on both being objected
TO, spot near the place Of meeting was fixed upon
Before the funeral took place, the Japanese officials
on To
coffin opened and after the burial of them
marked that according to the inscription the lid the
native of Ireland not of America but the
PLANTATION that followed proved quite satisfactory
Before the interview broke up the commodore mentioned
that he proposed to give his officers leave to shore
for recreation To this great objection made and
we believe that within few days afterwards several Of
officers were taking exercise shore The Rev Mr. Bittn-
ger the chaplain made several excursions among the villa
ges and fields which last he found in high cultivation
The houses generally matched but those of the better
sort covered with tiles having yards and small
dens within enclosures aat @tr8w IL Ea.

shortened the distance by several miles He then pro-

stranger there be ,oubt Of the population being
very great The crowds however caused ncony enence

csc officials who accompanied Mr.. Bitnger, the people
cleared passage and afterwards messenger having
been sent forward for the purpose the people packed them
selves at the sides of the houses and left the centre of the
streets clear for the stranger. He entered of the
houses which he found primitive in their furniture and
rangements but compared with other Oriental dwellings
of the 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 gliding their walls and ornaments on
their idols and generally are in better order The priests

Kasaccas is from fifteen to twenty miles distant by land
from the shipsi and Mr. Btnger being thus necessarily
long absent some anxiety felt about him. AS he

from the commodore for all officers TO return board and
shortly afterwards courier mounted splendid black
horse delivered similar despatch and finding was

concluded ms journey by torclght and found his
rival that everything that had occurred had been

for that for they had cockmakers in Yedo
them perfectly. They were curious to know however
about Ercssons caorc engine which they had heard
but from the commodore Mt any rate we suspect they

utility. lT
Whatever may be thought OF some of the other presents
