Treasury Department spent several hours last
night with the japanese, the subject of curren-
cy their object being to obtain all possible infor-
nation, for the purpose of regulating commercial
transactions. Nothing definite has thus far been
accomplished, owing to the nsuflciency of the re-
quired data Mr. Gouge has prepared statement,
(Which will be translated for the benefit of the ia
panese, giving the standard and values of our
currency with important suggestions. 1t appears
that the japanese possess much knowledge ofthe
fning ofsver and the baser metals, but not so much
as to gold. Their UNCONVENTIONAL coins of this
metal are not of uniform standard; changes having
been made therein eveu within the last eighteen
months, for the purpose, it is supposed, of counter
acting schemes of speculation. The japanese,
when they reach Philadelphia, are to witness the
refining of gold, at the Mint. The main difficulty
seems to be with regard to the relative value Of
gold. 1t is probable they will be fully supplied
with information on this point, and as to our own
coinage; but long time must elapse before an in
telligent understanding take place between the
two countries.
