WASHINGTON, May 17.—The Japanese Embassy, properly attended by their offi fC.,M and the naval commission, left Wil iiard's hotel about half-past 11 o'clock, this morning, on their way tc the President's ilmi-e. They rode in open carriages, with allure of-5 uniformed policemen in front, ana the same number in the rear, while the marines aud ordnance men marched on I side of the vehicles to the music of i the Marine band. The chief Prince was arrayed in a rich ' brocade, purple silk sack, with ample over- [ hanging sleeves, and flowing trowsers of the same color. The other two dignitaries wore in green of a similar texture and fashion. They wore caps like ladies' invert el eaba.-, fastened on the crown of the head by .-(rings passing under the chin. They carried pikes, halberds, and emblems of their rank. The inferior officers wore small fiats with a round band, and triangu lar crowns. The prominent points along the route were occupied by anxious spectators, and the -treets were crowded by the multitudes following to the President's I louse. Mean while; in the Fast Room, there had assem bled a brilliant company, among whom were the New \oik. Municipal Committee, wlvA Came hither to invite the Japanese to visit that city. Contrary to the programme and expecta i), there was a la rye attendance of ladies, , votnpsiiied by numbers of Congress, and • thers holding prominent public posi tions. The naval officers formed in a line in the East Room : prominent among them was t'uptaia Tat nail. The arui}' officers form ed another line; Lieut. Gen. Scott was •rominent, together with his staff. between these lines there was an open -:aee ab*>ut twenty-five feet wide, which i.i to be the scene of the grand presenta thiii, arid the interest was intense, and the usual -tir characterized the preliminary proceedings. The folding doors were opened at noon, win u tie' President of the U nited States viitcred, accompanied by his Cabinet offi- i cers, and they took a position on the cast and liieing the west. Secretary Cass retired to the ante room and returned with the Japanese Commis -51 is ami their attendants, who made | -cvcial profound bows as they approached President and his Cabinet. Flien one of the Japanese opeired a se ries of paper boxes, one within another, and produced several letters which were handed to the President, and by hiiy to Mr. Cass. The principal Embassador of the Jap anese then addressed the President as fol low- : TIIE JAPANESE ADDRESS. His M aje-ty, the Tycoon, lias commanded j ti- that we respectfully express to His Majtts ' the President of the United States, in his name, a- follows: Desiring to establish, on a firm and lasting I undation, the relations of peace and com merce so happily existing between tle Iwo ' entries that lately the plenipotentianbe of h.th countries have negotiated and concluded a treaty, now he lias ordered us to exolwuige the ratification of the treaty in your prinei T ,; H city of Washington. Henceforth, he hr s that the friendly relations shall be held 'u re and more lasting, and be very happy to nve your friendly feeling. That j'ou have ujht us to the United States and will send hack to Japan in your man of-war. Having delivered their message they retir lowing to tho President and Cabinet re ["'atodly in leaving their presence. 1 hey soon, however returned, bowing pro : undiy, as before, when the President ad dressed them as follows—Mr. Portman inter 'feting to the Japanese interpreter, and the after communicating with the principal en- THE I'RESIOENT'ji AMJjtESS. 1 gifi! you a cordial welcome, as represen tatives of his Imperial Majesty the Tycoon of aapan, to the American Governnui&t. We are ,i;l much gratified that the first embassy which Mr great Empire has ever accredited to any foreign Power has been sent to the United -".ate?. I trust that this will be the harbin of perpetual peace and friendship between -he?e two great countries. 'he treaty of commerce, whose ratifications i : spare about to exchange with fhe Seoretary j • -fate, cannot fail to be productive of ben ! ■-'J and blessings to the people both f Japan ur ' •of the United States. I can say for uiy , h and promise for my successors, that it .in be carried into execution in a faithful deadly spirit, s* as to secure to both t'juatries all the advantages they may justly I pct trom the happy auspices under which "hag been negotiated. I rejoice that you are " 4 *ed with the kind treatment whih you received on hoard of our vessel of-war, * "Ist on your passage to this country. You ' be sent back in the same manner to your native land, under the protection of the AmGr •-an flag. Meanwhile, during your residence among us, which I hope may be prolonged so tj emable you to visit different portions of c ?. ua try, we shall be happy to extend to Mi all the hospitality and kindness eminent due to the great and friendly sovereign ioln y° u so worthily reoresent. rni _ J • ~ lie President handed them a copy of ,!' s a( ldreßs, and then shook hands with them. , e subordinate Japanese officers were ISO "'ought in and introduced. Captain Dujont was prominent in this part of the ceremony. The Cabinet officers were presented in the following order : Messrs. Cobb, Floyd, I oudey, Thompson, Holt, and Black, and their relative official positions briefly ex plained. Lieutenant General Scott was next in troduced, and tbey warmly greeted him, evidently delighted with his fine, command ing appearance, and in view of his public position. General Cass asked for Vie-President Breckinridge, to introduce him, but he was absent. Speaker Pennington, as Speaker of the House, was then introduced to the distin guished visitors. The Japanese again repeated their pro found bows in finally retiring, and the im pressive scene clused. Mr. Cass privately said, referring to their ample trowsers, that they wouldlook better with hoops. lhe crowd slowly dispersed, and the Japanese returned to their hotel in the same order that they went to the Presi dent s house, evidently delighted with the imposing proceedings. Among the army officers pres ent were Lieutenant General Scott. Gener als lot ten, Jesup, Churchill, aud Johnson ; Colonels Roberts, Thomas, Cook, Craige, Childs, and Taylor, and Major Ramsey And of the navy, Captains Smith, Shu brick, Buchanan, Tatnall; and colonel Harris, of the marine corps. They were in full dress, and made a splendid appear ance. A French naval officer was also in the distinguished throng. In addition to other gentlemen holding high public positions, were Minister Pres ton and Assistant Secretary of State Ap pleton. The letter accrediting the Japanese Commissioners to the Government of the I nited State 3 was unrolled from a large and magnificent scarlet satin envelope. \V hen the Embassy first retired from the East Room, it was for the purpose of bringing with them the imperial or princi pal Ambassador, who, according to their etiquette, could not be present at the de livery of the letter accrediting them. The demeanor of* the Japanese was ex ceedingly grave and solemn. Their ap pearance contrasted strangely, but impres aively, with that of the deeply interested spectators. During the entire ceremony, whenever the eyes of a Japanese official were raised from the ground, they were di rected to (he President, and to his counte nance only. So rigidly was this practice observed, that it seemed that no one of the Japanese could have seen the countenan ces of those surrounding them, excepting those of flie few distinguished gentlemen to whom they were introduced. Some of the Japanese, during the after noon, took an airing in carriages. ENCAMPMENT. Commissioned Brigade Company A Officers of the 14th Division, U. P.
