WASHINGTON, May 14.-After the
transfer of the light baggage, boxes of
money and treaty case to the Philadel-
phia, the Japanese, with the exception
OF the Ambassadors, came aboard.
Shortly after, all the commissioned
officers from Fortress Monroe, and the
yards of the Roanoke were mnaed,
when boat with the Ambassadors left
the Roanoke amid the roar of II guns.
They were received on board the Phil.
adelpeia by Capt. Dupont and Mr.. Led
yard, and shown their respective state
rooms.
The reception and dinner on board
the Philadelphia was a superb affair.
The game, fish vegetables, cream, iel-
lies, and wines were pronounced by the
japanese to be well suited in their APP
petites, of which they gave ample evi-
dence.
The Philadelphia left the moolings
Of the Roanoke at 4 Is p. M. and land
ed her freight at Old Poiut at 4: 25
P. M.
The japanese were received with
honors, including salute from the bat
terry and music by the band. The Am
bassadors were escorted around the
parapet, their artists sketching outline
views of almost evrything inside as fa1
as the Roads and shipping outside, with
astonishing rapidity.
The officers at the Fort prepared a
hasty table of refreshments at the hotel
re embarked at with the same honors
as at the landing.
The Ambassadors and attaches were
delighted with everything, and nothing
was omitted or lost sight of by the Ma
val Commissioners, guests or officers Of
the boat tending to satisfy their curious
appetites orscomforts, nor did the least
accident, incident or omission occur in
terfering with the programme of ar.
rangements, or mar the pleasure Of the
distinguished visitors.
To day at daybreak, the Philad-
elphia was steadily steaming up the
Potomac. All on board of her were
delighted at the near approach to
Washington. The Japanese artists
took views at every point The Philad-
elphia stopped off Mount Vernon, the
band playing plaintive air, while the
bell was kept mournfully tolling. The
Ambassadors though the interpreters,
were informed of the history of the
"Father Of his country" The Japan
csc artists took accurate sketches of
mansion and grounds around it. All
on board now felt highly delighted at
the approach of the end of the Jour-
ney.
1t is understood that the interpreter
has succeeded in ascertaining the res
pective rank of all the Japanese EN-
bassy at home, and placed the result in
the hands of Mr.. Ledyard for consider
alton. The latter will probably have
no difficulty in chasing them as full
Ambassadors.
