TUE JAPAN LxcArso>s coArSo TO wAsHsa-
Be- ia news which 80 publish to-day from
japan, II appears that the openlcs u diplomatic
relations between that empire and tn>F United
States is fact accomplished. The commf.ss'on-
ers to exchange the Publications OF the treaty
made by Mr. Townsend Harris have already beeu
appointed, and their arrival here may be expect
cd before The next Congress meets.
In addition to the very important commercial
advantages which this friendly relation with the
government OF Jeddo will give us, and which
have been duly set forth, the appea .ace of the
special commissioners OF the Emperor in our
streets and legislativa halls viii make an inn
mense sensation. IT. mission Is one of the first
grade, the commissioners having ranks above an
envoy axtraordinary and minister plenipotentia-
~, and the eat1uyaSe Of the legation WILL of
course, be in harmony with its dignity. A
Japanese Of high rank counts his servants
by the thousands, and councillor of
State has ten thousand followers. What
lutter such train would make in New
York! How the Aldermen would vote
all sorts of resolutions to show them the institu
tons! How the Fifth avenue magnates would
quarrel az to who should have the honor of Civ
ing them the first party! How the Orientals
themselves would gaze and wonder at the
Aldermen and the small politicians and the ex-
pansive crinoline! And finally, this for the Ia
dies, how odd it would be if some young Ameri-
can lady, fresh from boarding school, should
captivate the Japanese Minister 1--WE presume
that after the treaty is ratified the Legation will
become q permanent one bere), and set up her
establishment in the capital Of Japan Who is
the daring adventurer that will introduce crino-
line and other modern improvements to the
oelles Of Jeddo? That would be revolution
worth talking about.
THE News FROM PARAGUAY.-We published
in our columns yesterday the news Of
the settlement of the Paraguay difficulty. It
was very important intelligence; but we make
no boast Of the fact that it appeared exclusively
in the HERALD. The evening papers Of yester-
day, and the evening editions Of the morning
journals, copied the news from us-as, of course,
they ought to have done, considering its great 10
terest and Importance; but one Of these papers
pretended that the news had arrived by the brig
Ann Mexican, at Philadelphia, whereas the yes
sci arrived at New York, aud assumes TO give
the details from the Philadelphia papers of yes
terday morning. The details which the Phia-
delphia papers contained were as follows
which, we may add also appeared in the HERALD
Of yesterday
PERNAbnUco March 4, 1859
Late advices from the river Plate have been received
here from reliable source stating that the difficulty DO
tho United States and Paraguay has been settled,
through the medation Of the Emperor OF Brazil
II the contemporary referred to had not the
manlness to give us credit for the Information,
it should not at least have deceived the public as
to the point from whence it came. The Eoe,ung
Post is the DULY journal that was straightforward
enough to state that it copied the news from the
HERALD.
