TIE JAPANESE PREsENTs-We understand
that sundry packages of the presents sent to
the President by the Emperor of Japan, in re-
turn for those forwarded from hence blythe
hands of Commodore Perry have reached
Washington, with them being sundry packages
of presents for officers of the expedition, which,
under the law, must be deposited, at least tenn
porarily, in the State Department. That is
until Congress may give them leave to accept
them.
The contents Of the packages are said to be
silks, swords writing tables, delicate and
fragile ornaments, vases, bowls of glass andloter
materials, umbrellas, mats, bells. jars, cabinets
flower box, lances, Japan mating, stone from
Loo Choo, agricultural implements, Japan
shine (marked from Sindda) Theoretically seal
cd, samples of sugar cane, seven dogs, two
birds, seed wheat from the Cape of Good
Hope &c.
We hear that the dogs are of breed which
none but the aristocracy Of the Empire keep,
as they are very costly. In the time of Charles
H. similar imperial present of dogs sent
to Rome by the Emperor of Japan, from which
the celebrated European breed of King Charles
spaniels sprang. Those sent to the President
by Commodore Perry, are much like the King
Charles breed of the present day, though con-
siderable Washington Sentinel.
