NTADAME BLAKE, In announcing to the
Iyl citizens of Washington and Georgetown,
that she has retired from her profession, as in
structress of dancing, tenders to them her warm
est thanks for the patronage she has 30 long and
so literally received. She begs leave to recon-

have carried on the negotiations. The policy
Of the Japan government has pointed out the
counter policy which should be adopted in this
respect. Mr.. Taylor here reviewed briefly the
manner in which several expeditions had at-
tempted to negotiate with the Japanese gov
ernment, alluding especially to the visit Of
Commodore Biddle in lS48, and its unsuccess-
ful termination.)
"Commodore Perry, as the result has proved,
adopted the only true policy. When his boats
were ordered away, he returned for answer
that he would only speak to an envoy from the
emperor. While he was waiting for a reply, he
took occasion to examine the soundings of the
bay, in direct violation of the laws of the coun.
try, and justified himself on the ground that he
was looking for safe harbor for the squadron
in the event of storm. With the delivery Of
the Presidents letter closed the first chapter of
this expedition. The squadron then returned
to China, to give the emperor time to decide
on his answer. 1t is not for US to predict what
that answer will be; but ! can say that the
sight Of our tremendous war steamers has given
tle Japanese some idea Of the extent of sci-,
ence. In three months from this the expedi-
ton will return, and the result will be known.
From the friendly disposition already mani
tested by the Japanese for Americans, and
from that enlightenment which they are fast
acquiring, favorable result may be looked for
at no very distant day.
"The lecturer concluded with few remarks
on the progress Of American commerce and en-
terprise in the east. He said the statistics of
our trade with China, in the last few years, ex-
hibited rapid increase. Cotton and lead are
the important articles of import; and in the
event Of our friendly relations being establish
ed with Japan, we may expect there also a
ready market. During my stay in China, could
not help remarking growing jealousy enter
tained by the Englishmen there for Ameri-
cans. This is on account Of our increasing
influence iu the country. One of the India
journals lately advocated the annexation of
Peru, because American influence predomina-
ted in Siam In order to secure the predomi-
nance of our commerce in the east, a railroad
to the Pacific must be made. When this is
DONE then shall the divided energies of onr
nation be united and her commercial great
ness built up forever"
