The correspondent Of the Ledger, writing on
board the U. s. ship Powhatan, at Simoda, Japan,
under date Of August 81, gives the follow Ing &c.
count Of the visit Of two Japanese princes to Mr..
Townsend Harris, the American Consul General.
on board the ship, for the purpose OF signing tho
new American treaty:
They came alongside in two boats-thenseives
ants in the second. Cinano no kami came over
the eide first He was an old man, and had been
the consufs daily companion during bis months
residence at Yeddo OF course he was warmly
probably thirty-fve years, OF commanding mien,
aud of the hnest Japanese face have yet seen.-
He WAS followed by "Meryalna Yenosk, !" the in-
telligent interpreter, who figures so largely in
Commodore Perry's account of hisvisit. Finally
came the sa,ts aud then the attendants, in Another
boat. The whole party moved gracefully aft and
ascended the ladder leading TO the poop deck,
while salute of 10 guns was being nred in their
honor. Moryana speaks English quite fairly, and
Dutch perfectly. Mr. HeuskiDs, the cohsuis sec.
retsry, also speaks Dutch aud EDgiish alike, and
thus we're ideas interchanged. 1t seems that the
treaty had all been arrasged some months back a.

to read 1t over and sign. After we had shown
them;tbe ship, and regaied them with cold Lunch
in the cabin, therefore, the latter given up to
MIR. Harris, his secretary, the two Princes, and
Moryama, who remained cioseted together for an
hour or more. Then the doors we're opened AMI
the latter returned to their steamer with the ua-
derstanding that they were TO come en- board again
at 2. Nj. and sign the treaty.
Alta so we sent out our boats for them, and as
the appointed hour arrived they were alongside.
Punctual fellows are these Japanese; everything
with them is system, and moves like clockwork.-
The nations Of the West might we'll initiate them
in this respect. Another ''cesatius' now took
place, and at the epd CT another hSUr the doors
we're again thrown opeu. Our third treaty with
Japan had been signed during that time--a treaty
which will accomplish more than everything that
has been done heretofore. The signing haviog
been officially announced, the American and Ja
panese flags were hois.ed side by side at the fore,
and u national salute Of u guns fired from our
heavy shell guns.
''They will hear this at Teddo" said the con-
sui, land it will have its effect" As for the
Princes. they evinced the greatest satisfaction at
beholdipg our flags side by side, and finally took
their departure in the highest spirits.
OF Mr.. Harris, the writer says;
He is certainly the most observing mau ever
saw, and understands thr0ughly the japanese
character All of oar success tcsth these people is
