THE ARRIVAL OF THE AMBASSADORS AT wAsHGNGToS.
w WASHINGTON, Nav l4.-At an early hour tha
avy-yard was thronged by dense multitude
including many ladies, and an intense excitement
was everywhere exhibited. The scene was most
delightful. The perspective of verdant hills and
trees, rendered additionally beautiful nv the frasb
ness impaired by the recent rains, with a clear and
bright sky above, and flags fiying in all directions
In the pleasant breeze, combined to render the
caSiOn most inspiring.
About hafpast IL o'clock gun from the Navy
yard battery announced that the steamer was in
sight, whereupOn there was a wild rush to the
wharf The Philadelphia soon approached, while
the Marine band the upper-deck PLAYED the
Star Spangled Banner.
There was pause off the wharf for about fifteen
minutes until the arrangements for landing could
be fully matured
Mayor Berret went on board the steamer and
was introduced to the Ambassadors, extending
them welcome In the name of the citizens of
Washington, to which they responded acknowled-
ing their thanks for the honor and the compl-
ment.
The japanese were stationed on the upper deck,
inrr thn and, Il a.. = =
ohe OF LlIen was observed taking sketches.
An American daguerreotypist erected his camera
to take the picture. The greatest excitement
was everywhere exhibited. Club-boats were run
ming about the river with the American and jana
nese flags adding to the effect of the brilliant
scene.
The Treaty box was first brought from the boat
and then followed the japanese, under an escort of
several naval officers. They passed, as they land
ed, between the American and japanese flags and
having approached to where Capt. Buchanan was
standing, he in the presence of his brother naval
officers, welcomed them as follows:
'ln the name of the President of the United
States and the country, reciprocating the kind
feelings expressed by the japanese Government
when the treaty made by the gallant Commo-
dore Porry, as an honorable participator on this
interesting occasion, he felt proud of being the
medium of their reception on the part of his coun
trymen."
The dignitares thus addressed through the in
terpreter, bowed their Acknowledgements.
Whilst these ceremonies were progressing sa
lutte was fired from the battery.
The military presented beautiful appearance
They were arranged on the side of TIE plank-way,
which had been newly whitewashed, on which the
visitors walked to the gate where the cortege was
formed.
First came the Presidents mounted guard; then
the japanese in carriages
The treaty, encased in large red morocco box
in square cage, carried on the top of an ON
nibus
The marines and District military then followed,
with music from their several bands.
The sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue were
crowded, and the windows filled with spectators
throughout the distance, from the Navy-vard to
the quarters of the Japanese, which they reached
about fifteen minutes before two o clock.
So dense the crowd of pedestrians and
carriages that the Japanese cortege occupied over
an hour in passing from the Capitol to Wizards
Hotel. The resident population more excited
and enthusiastic than we have ever before witnessed
and the whole march through the city was one
perfect ovation
The reception rooms at Wizards were densely
thrOnged with the wives, sisters and daughters of
members of Congress and other public men, who
assembled to receive these welcomed visitors. Over
an hour was required in exchange of courtesies
before the travellers were allowed to retire to their
private apartments, when the crowd slowly dis
persed and the military returned to their quarters
