His mind—originally a spark of Deity—
has so long fed on the husks and vanities
of the wofld, that it is almost smothered
in the rubbish about it. A" glimmer you
might behold, but it would be so exceed-
ingly dim, that you would soon lose sight
of it behind clouds of rubbish. Such ti
spectacle—n conceited fellow stripped of
his borrowed plumage, iind laid bare to the

with everything we required, and deliver
any communicatim we might liavc for

styled the “I//u~;.’rz'ous
Heizve/2,” or “the Sovercgn. of t/Le
the Gods uxu/er Sun R2'.yi/Lg?’ His Majesty
rules thirty millions of people, he has two
hundred and fifty thousand square miles
of territory, an army of three hundred
thousand infantry and ten thousand caval-
ry. Next to the Cuboy is the Dairo, or
spiritual head of the empire. These are
sovereign in their respective governments
and each in turn is compelled to obey the
other. The Carboy has petty princes un-
der him who rule the provinces into wliich
the empire is divided. The Dairo lins lil
wives and the Cuboy an unlimited number.
Polygamy is universal. The religion is like
that of China. In art, science and litera-
ture, the Japanese are superior to the Chi-
nese, from whom they descended. They
have converted their barren islands into
beautiful gardens, which rise in tei'raccs
on the mountains. Thev have copper,
iron, steel and silver, and in_\verkingtliesc
metals they are not surpassed by Europe -
ans. Coal also abounds in the islands.
The nianufacture of porcelain and glass,
lacquered ware, sil - an .l cotton goods, has
been carried on by them for centuries.
Their trade is confined to ‘the Dutch, the
Chinese and the Coreans, and the only
port open to these is Nangasaki. Their
dread of foreigners was caused by an at.
temp]. of the Portugese to establish the
Roman Catholic religion over tncm in the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
when Dutch merchants disclosed the plot
to the Japanese priests. The Cnboy him-
self had embraced the Catholic religion,
with a third of his people, and all these,
with the Catholic missionaries, were slain
by the Dairo and his religious followers
Ever since the Dutch merchants have en-
joyed exclusive privileges, and all the great
men of the empire speak the low Dutch
with great fluency. By this means they
obtain from Dutch newspapers on accurate
knowledge of occurrences throughout the
ivorld. As an evidence o_f this, we were
astonished to learn that they had heard of
our intended visit. The l’resident.'s let-
ter informed the Emperor that the people
of the United States were desirous of cul-
tirating friendly relations with the Japa-
nese, to which the Emperor replied that
he had heard of the greatness of the United
States; he hoped they would continue to
be prosperous and happy, but the policy of
his country would not permit him to open
his ports to any but the Chinese and
Dutch. lle beggetl the Commodore to
supply himself with what he wanted; that
the people would furnish him all that the
country afforded, and having obtained his.
supplies, he hoped he would retire from
the buy as rapidly as possible and never
return. They brought us evcr_vtliing wet
wanted—as fuel, water and provisions, &:c.,
but would take nothing in return. Ac-,
companying the Emperor’s reply was al
bundle of worthless trinkets, as a present‘
from his majesty to Com. Biddle, which he‘
refused to accept. This puzzled the .la-;
panese Ambassador. He dare not return,
with his presents, so he loitcred around;
the deck until ni_qhtfall, and then throwing’
the bundle in'o the ship’s boat, darted off
to the shore Commodore Biddle distri-i
buted the trinkets among the officers. We
were not permitted to land, and the Man-
darins told us that if we attempted to land
by force, they would all commit. suicide
by ripping out their intestines, that being
the custom of their country. Seine ac-
cepted our presents, but returned them all
before we left. They would take nothing
from us. Most of the officers and people
who came on board brought their own
