n dent writes 10 the Boston Herald from
/ Hakodadi, Japan, under date Of Aug. Is
5 giving interesting notices of the new trea-
/. ty effected By Col. Harris with the En-
A peror. by this treaty, he says:
: 1.-The port of Simoda, ofno account to
us, will be closed, and the beautiful hor-
Dor Of lanagua, ouly twelve miles from
/. the city of Jeddo, is to be opened to us
for commerce, &c. After the treaty is
, ratified that port will be the residence of
Mr. Harris.
1t is beautiful harbor, easy of access
at all times of the year, well protected
from all storms, and is not like that of
Simoda, surrounded at its extremes by
sunken rocks. 1t is also capable of ac-
cOmmodatiDg a large number of ships,
while that Of Simoda is not large enough
to allow more than three or four ships TO
ride at anchor at the same time Its
proximity to the Court of Jedda will also
make it conveient for Col. Harris.
The Japanese Government has deci-
ded to send an ambassador to Washing.
ton in March next, on the condition that
our Government will convey him and his
suite to Panama in a Government ship,
en- route for the United States. WeIearn
that Col. Harris and Com'r Tatnall as
sured the authorities of Jeddo that il
would be gratifying to the United States
Government and its people to comply
with this request, and that the return
mail would no doubt bring orders to that
effect,
Sunday, Aug. |, was an interesting
one at Simoda. At 10 o'clock A. M. all
the boats of the Powhatan and of this
snip, Were seen pulling to the landing
near the Consul's residence, one mile
from Simoda proper, filled with officers
and men, among whom were Com'r Tat ,
nall, Capt, Nicholson and the Rev. Mr.. ,
Wood, Captain of the Powhatan. This :
party, numbering four hundred, proceed /
ed to the Consul's residence for the pur- y
pose of attending Divine Worship of AL y
mighty God on Japaneses soil. 1t was p
an interesting time to lis all, and the
very idea of being able to worship the a
Most High in this land of heathenism "
md ldolatry was extremely gratifying" r.
