The object of this diplomatic visit
to the exchange Publications of the trea-
ty negotiated by Mr., Harris, in 1868,
the terms of the treaty the notifications
were to have been exchanged on or be-
fore the 4th, Of July; 1859. But after
the signatures:had been appended to the
treaty, certain Japanese fogies com
menced agitating for the preservation
OF an ancient law which inflicted death
|npont any native of the, country who
would so to a. foreign land-in ODE
dience to. which all Japanese sailors
who have been heretofore wrecked on
foreign coasts have been required to
endure Punishment, or suffer the death
penalty at home. The genius of con-
seryatism presides over the affairs Of ia
pan. The Hunkers were so far sue
cessful that they STAYED off the depar-
ture OF the embassy one year. O. With
considerable difficulty, Mr.. Harris sue
ceeded in getting a Convention signed
by the Japanese authorities, fixing up
on the 4th Of July, 1860 for,an exchange

frlgate t,Candinamarrah, i" which lately
arrived at San Francisco is the first
Japanese war vessel Which ever visited
a foreign port. 1t was brought across
the Pacific by Lieut.. Brooke, Of the u.
S. navy. The embassy may be expected
at Washington in the course of three
or four weeks, The Senate has passed
ia bill appropriating $500 for their
reception and it is expected that the
House will concur in few days. In
making this liberal provision for their
entertainment, we shall be only return
ing the Inequalities which Japan has
already extended to our representa-
tives. * 4 Gter -f@
The arrival of the embassy viii make
an era not only in Japanese but imam
erican diplomacy. We shall have ac-
complished, i'll the space ofseven years,
that which all the governments of Eu-
rope have been striving to effect for
more than two centuries And, what
is more to the honor Of both countries
without the firing of a gun or the spill
ing Of drop Of blood. 1t is also a
matter for national graduation that En-
gland was enabled to secure a treaty
with Japan only through the interces-
sion and effort Of our 80 Consul General,
whose services have been acknowledge
ed by a public testimonial from Lord
Elgin. nod. is, .s~..-, s. 3, s-...- s;..--.....
