FROM JAPAN.

OUR last accounts from tho China
Sras mention highly interesting fact.
, The Emperor OF Japun. bring anxious
u adjust various questions connected
| with the recent treaties he has cunclu-
ded with tho governments of Europe and
America, held on tho 22d Of Juno OF
JedJo. the capitol "fhis empire. sol.
emn assembly Of their principal lords
and most influential personages of his
court. 1t was decided at the meeting
that two ports Of the empire, those OF
Naugasaki and Hakodadi should DO o.
pen to the vessels ofall uatipns. Ths,e
they might repair, take in provisions,
establish dcbo,s Of coal, &c. The 9th
CT ports Of the empire, moreover, are to
be accessible To vessels in distress, which
may take refuge in thom, but which will
have 10 PIT To sea the moment danger
is over. No foreigner is to be allowed
to penetrate into the interior of the
country without special permission from
tho Chief Of the State. No decision
had yet been come TO with regard to
commercial questions. Tho right of
ira ling with Japan is still main'a ued in
favor of the Dutch and Chinese, who
have long possessed i,on vo,y enormous
tsrus, having bu, 90 na ket open t,
them, that of Nagnsaki. The new pol
icy adopted by tho government Of Japan
will DO productive ol'incaculsblo result.
Hitherto. no foreign vessel could enter
the ports Of tho country TO rctit or take
in provisions. The lost decision OF tho
court Of Jeddo accordingly constitutes
; grand progress.
