| The President, Standing near Mr.. Portman,
| who translated his remarks in detached
passages in the Dutch language to the princi-
pal interpreter of the mission, who in turn
recited them TO the ambassadors, addressed
them in tones of such friendliness and warmth
that they seemed to catch the spirit OF his
observations and be impressed by them before
they were interpreted. He spoke of tie arri-
val of the commissioners from Japan as
most propicious and agreeable event in his
Administrations historical event, which he
trusted would, unite the two nations in, per
petual bonds Of amity. He expressed his en-

selected Representatives who could have more
conciliated the good will of the American

opinion Of the manner in which they had
performed the task intrusted to them; and
"a
copy thereof. He desired further, as token
OF his regard and friendship, to present to
each of the Commissioners a gold medal
struck, at the, Mint of the United States in
commemoration OF the occasion and services
of the first Japanese Embassy. Several pres
ents for the Tycoon, he said, would be sent
TO them before their departure.
The President concluded by, wishing them
much pleasure during the, remainder of the
thaxr In tha ast
and a safe and happy return td their own
country, under the flag of the American
Union. Upon the ambassador expressing
their particular thanks for the attention they
had received from CAPTAIN Dupont and the
other officers Of the Naval Commission, the
President added that they,yere intrusted to
the charge Of the very Hover of the Navy,
on whom, too, the country would rely against
foreign enemies, but would never have occa-
sion to do so, he was sure, against the Japan
