Mr. Harris Immediately wrote to Com. Tatnall, re-
ouestinp him 10 furnish steamer TO Pasama, and 10
Secretary Cas- asking that steamer w ght be sent to
Aspinvan 10 receive the Embassy. The Embassy was
to exchange the notifications Of the Treaty of Yedo at
Washington on the 4th of July last. But of the
Japanese Old Eunkers, it seams, ms3e desperate at
tempt to preserve an ancient law which inflicted death
| on any Japanese who might leave the country. Tue
Dmios strove with the Mkadp for the conservation Of
this venerable institution fearing doubt that if it
| were relaxed the old landmarks would be swept
| away and the union of the Japanese Empire would
world goto rrepressble dissolution. In fact j. was
knocking out the underpinnng from the peculiar nst
tuition OF Japan.
They succeeded in compelling the Japanese Govern
mept TO ask for delay and after some little pielim
naIies, the following convention was drawn mp:

Mr. Harris states in his letters TO Mr. Cass, Just pub
sbed by the Senate that the negotiations which
suited in this convention were protrac:ed some fifteen
days, througha strong effort his part, to intro
duce clause securing the full liberation of religion
among the japanese Themselves" piece Of very
disn.erested benevolence his part Blu, it is we'll
TO have religious Olerson in Japan If we do not have
il at home He states also that the Japanese would
have been ready to sail in October last but be desired
account OF the more pleasant season.
On the 9Th of November last, Mr. Harris writes that
the Embassy will embark on the Powhatan, at Ysdo,
the Isl Of February, and may be expected to reach
Aspnwa within so or 60 days, by March 22d, or the
first of April he recommends that they be taken
from Aspinwall directly to Washington, as he thinks
desirable that they should get their first impress
siors OF our country place less excitabe and tu
mukuous than any Of cur large seaports.
II regard to accommodations on board the Powhatsn
the officials will be contented two or three together
to occupy a siateroOm,' and the servants can be
placed anywhere under shelter. The ENJOYS will prob
ably have two interpreters with them, who speak
little English, but they speak the Dutch language |
luenty. 1t isdssirable that person having know
ledge of the Dutch and English langu ges be dispatched
10 Panama, which viii greatly contribute TO the con-
yenencs OF the Japanese.
The ENJOYS have unolei ally requested thai an officer
Of the navy should attend them from Panama TO Wash
ingon. This is in accordance with japanese etquette
all bis vista YeGco Mr. Harris has been attended
by one Of the Vice Governors of Simoda
IT. relation 10 the expenses of the embassy, Mr..
Harris would like to have our Government do the
handsome thing. Although he has constantly told the
japanese that ENJOYS always travel at the expense
Of their own Government, stil The japanese have
insisted on paying all his expense, which they could
while be was at Yeddo. He says that all the coolies
employed 10 carry bis baggage on the roads paid
by the japanese, and while be remained at Yeddo,
period of nearly Elk months hs servants guards bear
,rs. and eroome in all 40 persona were fed by
he Japaneee.
In making liberal provision therefore, for the enter
ainment of the embassy, we shall only DO returning
he Inequalities which tae Japanese have aresdy
xten6ed TO our representatives. France has received
ambassadors from Burmah and Siam at her own ex-
ense and England las paid the way Of Samese
mbassy 10 London. 1t is possible that the ENJOYS
nav lave orders TO retorn by way of London Paris,
he Hague, and St. Petersburg; lei us take care that
1oir reception in those cities may not eilace their
,ernories Of Washington and NewYork.
