The intimate friendly relations, which have

/ coarse with Mr.. Catacazy and the management
passed into be hands Of a gentleman entirely
uuOblectionable.
| JAPAN.
With Japan, we continue to maintain most
intimate relations. Thr worthy cabinet of the
/ M1cado has since the close ofthe last session OF
! Congress selected citizens of the United States
TO serve in offices of Importance, IN several de-
/ mar mcnts of the government, and have reason
to think that this selection is due to an appre-
ciation of the disinier eetedDess of the policy
| which the United States has pursued toward
| Japan lii our desire to continue to main
tain this dis,n,ereeted and just policy with
| China as well Japan. The correspondence

| disposition on the part of this government to
| syerye from its established course.
