have examined the ports of Simoda and
Hakodadi, which nre to he opened to the ves
sels of the United States, and am happy to in•
form the department that, with respect to geo
graphical positron, convenience of egress and
ingress, and commodiousness for all the pur
poses required, they cannot be surpass:ed.- 7
This is ono of the safest and most , :onvenient
harbours I have ever seen for vessels of all
classes, and it is suflicientlo capacious to hold
half the navies of the riorld
The authorities '.nd people of the towns and
their vicinities 'save manifested much kindness
and attenti.A. The ships have been promptly
supplif.d and at reasonable prices, with wood,
and such other articles as the country could
furnish. The singular abstemiousness of the
Japanese from animal food has never made it
necessary fur them to rear and fatten animals
for use, and hence the scarcity of that aliment
no necessary to people of the western nations.
It is quite probable, however, that they will
hereafter be better prepared to meet the de
mands of the vessels visiting the two ports.—
Poultry and fish, and, at the proper season,
fruit and vegetables may be obtained in rea
sonable quanties, and one or two ships could
always be provided with a sufficiency fur their
wants.
At both places the officers and those of the
crews who have been permitted to leave the
ships, go freely about in town and country,
and on fishing and shooting excursions. visit
ing the shops, the temples, and other places of
interest, without the slightest hindrance or mo
lestation, and are everywhere treated with kind
ness and respect, and especially by the country
people. But one instance has occurred of an
noyance to any one, and this was at Simuda;
and on its being presented to me, i demanded
and received an apology from the prefect, who
disavowed the acts of the officers who commit•
ted the offence.
According to arrangement, I am to meet one
or more of the imperial commissioners at Si.
mods on the 13th of next month. (June.) to
settle various matters connected with a proper
understanding of the treaty ; after this is ac
complished, I shall return to Hong Kong by
the way of Oho•Sima, Lew-Chew, and the ports
of Ninypo, Fuhahow and Amoy in China. The
officers of my command have construct.' sev
eral valuable charts of the harbors and coasts
of Japan, and our collection of specimens of
natural history, and of drawings, sketches, he.
is rapidly increasing.
One of the vessels of the squadron is now
engaged in making, a reconnoisance of " Vol
cano Bay," a convenient anchorage, about 70
miles from this port.
Until this time, I have not had it in my
power to institute in a thorough manner the
researches end inquiries which the department
has ordered in its instructions of Oct. 20, 1052,
May 16, 1853, and Juno 11, 1853, wills respect
Ito the fate of our fellow-countrymen, supposed
either to lave been lost at sea, or to be still
alive and held in captivity iu Formosa, or the
islands of Japan.
The authorities here have furnished answers
to my several inquiries on the subject, here
with enclosed, and I propose to send the Mace
donian, accompanied by the Southampton, to
Formosa, there to prosecute every possible re
search, and at the same time to examine the
coal region of that island.
As evidence of the good understanding sub
elating, as well at this place as at Kanawaga
and Stmoda, I may remark that the prefect,
governor, mayor, and other persons of rank,
visited this ship by invitation last evening, and
were entertained by me at a formal supper.

Remarkable Detection of a Murder in
ranoe.
The Court of Assizes of the Haut Rhin hits
just been occupied tour days in trying a num
named Maurer Mr murder. Un the 7JI May,
a female hawker, named Oeriate, aecuinpruied
by her two servants (a young man named Fun
tun, and a young woman 1111.11 ed Liillralld,) left
the village of Alattlach, to go to aseth. Arri•
ved at toe top ut a hi g h mountam, which it
necessary to pass, they sat down to rest, and
the women wanted out her In:mei, eunsistinv
of 15U fr. Alter a while they set ma, tie young
man going un about ZOO yards is advance.—
All at once he heard his mistress cry “Jean,
come to me—help !" On turning round he
saw two men attaekiug her with heavy sticks,
until she soon tell beneath the blows. The
female servant, on seeing tier mistress assailed
ed, took to flight, but the two tnen pursued her,
and attacked her in the same way. Fenian,
struck with terror, and feeling himself tuu weak
' to oppose the men, threw aside the bale ut
gouda lie was currying, and run down the
mountain to liruth. There ho stated to the
authorities what had occurred. They immedi
ately went up to the mountain, and found the
woman lying dead ; her head and thee were
covered witu bruises. The dead body of the
servant was found at some little distance ; her
scull had been fractured by a tremendous blow.
The woman's purse was taken away. A strict
search was made, and all the woodmen empioy
ed on the muuutuin were strictly questhmea,
but no clue to the murderers could be discuver
ed.
Things remained in this state until the 29th
July, 1853, when it was discovered that a
woodman named Moutagon, of Vildestein had
committed suicide by hanging hitnself to a tree.
It immediately become reported that he was
one of the murderers, and that he had killed
hunaelf from remorse. This caused a new in
vestigation to be made, and it was discovered
that uu the day of the murder he had bees at
work on the mountain with Maurer, close to
where the crimes were committed; that ho had
worn a dress similar to that which Funtan had
described, but had changed it betitre returning
home ; that he had washed his own linen in
stead of giving it, as usual, to his wife ; that he
had made her wash a pair of trousers, and was
dreadfully angry because she did nut du su
quick enough; that he had received seine inju
ry in the arm that he would not let her see;
that he was frequently heard to 'nutter strange
things to himself, and to say aloud, "Provided
Maurer always tells the same tale, but he is a
chattering fellow, and let out the truth ;" that
he had more than once questioned his wife as
to kt Lutht, 11101%11i Mair,r tart! . .
- -
ed ; that he had frequently fur no conceivable
reason, asked her and other persons to pardon .
hint ; that he bud often asked his own children
and the children of his neighbors if God would
pardon a grout criminal; that one day he had
said to his with, ..Yes, Muledon, it was I and
Maurer who murdered the two women! You
.•
will say so alter my death, tar ineocent per.
son must nut be prosecuted ?" and that he had
often exclaimed, -I cannot live in this way; I
must die." In consequence of all this Maurer
was arrestedt The following facts Were then
discovere&-; Ile on the day of the murder was
working wi)h Montagu., at a short distance
from some tither men, and just at the time of
murder these men were surprised to bear no
longer their axes going. After' tue murder his
face was observed to h e - scruched, and he could
nut state how it came so. It was observed, al
so, that Ito had charged part of his dress. The
trousers he took off he gave to.his tinnily to
wash, and it clearly appeared that they had
been slanted with blood. After the crime he
was seen frequently engaged hi secret conver
sation with Montagnun, and it was supposed
that they were concerting something. Al.
though his earnings were not large he spent
muney very frequently. Otte day, on receiving
his pay, he made remark, ..1 pure now money
which is nut stained with blood !" Moreover, he
attempted to entice some inuocent persons to
be suspected of the crime. Finally, his dress
corresponded with that of the two loon Its des

pertinent to the . London Times, of the 22d.

Telegraphic accounts have been received by
Her Majesty's government, from Vienna and
Bucharest; announcing that the allied forces,
consisting of 25,000 English, 25,000 French,
and 8,000 Turkish troops, landed on the 14th
at Eupatoria, without meeting any resistance,
and bad commenced marching on Sebastopol.
Our Paris correspondence of date 21st, says:
Ate official despatch, posted up on the Bourse,
to-day, confirms ?A c mews of landing of the
Crimea expedition on the 14th at Eupatoria.
This intelligence was sent on the 10th by
the Austrian internuneio, at Constantinople, to
Oen. Coronini at Bucharest.
A t.O nber of transports had returned to
Varna for the French reserve of 14,000 men.
Some of the allied ships are lying off the for.
tress of Kinburn and island of Tendra, near
Odessa, with the object, of intercepting any
Russian reinforcements intended for the Crimea.
Accounts front Constantinople, of Septum.
her 10th, bring news of greet importance, it'
true. The statement WM, that the Czar had
consented to accept the four propositions of
the Western powers, and that an armistice
would be the consequence. It was said that on
morning of the 7th the Porte and the Austrian
internuncio received despatches signifying the
Czar's willingness to accept the four proposi•
thins as the basis of negotiations. -The same
day a steamer was uespatehed to learn the
whereabouts of the allied expedition ; and on
the succeeding day, (the Bth) another small
steamer called the Danube was sent with pres.
sing despatches to the fleet, supposed by that
time to be ut the Serpent's Isle. As the
steamer was small, and the weather hoisteroo
it could not have arrived before the expedition
disembarked.
This important news is yet unconfirmed, but
is positively Its',med.
Odessa again Bombarded.
A ~~~nr~l
all the strand batteries recently erect ,- ...1 at
Odessa, were destroyed by some ships,of the
allied fleet. Previous advices stated that eight
inglo-Preach steamers had taken up a position
before the town. To this, however, we must
append a private despatch, which says—from
Vienna, evening 18th—• , Tke account given
yesterday of the bombardment of Odessa ap
pears doubtful; a letter or tho 10th makes au
mention of it."
It is positively asserted that while a portion
of the British fleet wan at Baltschik embarking
troops, the Russians succeeded in sending a
strong reinforcement by sea from Odessa to
Sebastopol. They crept out of the port by
night, and the troops being conveyed in the
large shallow lighters and floats used for load
ing corn on the Danube, were towed close along
shore, and thus escaped the allied cruisers.—
Nay, more, a Russian steamer came to the en
trance of Baltschik bay while the fleets wore
there, and sent in two boats to reconnoitre I.
On the 7th a Russian strainer landed a detach
ment of Cossacks at Galatz, who destroyed the
magazines of the (Austrian) Danubian' Steam
ship company, and shipped the coals. Since
August 2.1. Prince Menschikoff has been in in
cessant activity between Perekop and Sebasto
pol, organizing a levy en masse.
Odessa letters at' the 6th state that all the
troops in the Crimea have been marched to
Sebastapol, and reinforcements were hurrying
front Nikolajetf and Aleschke towards Pere.
kap. Prince Idenschikoff has exhausted every
means of defence in order to render Sebasto
pol impregnable, as well from the land as from
the sea. Between Sebastopol and Balaklava
there are five strong detached forts, sufficiently
garrisoned. The road from Balaklava to Yalta
is rendered impassable, and partly mined.—
There are three forts at liitipatoria—enc on the
north, a second on the east, a third on the
west, and the place is garrisoned by 15,003
men.
The heights is the rear of Sebastopol are
encircled by redoubts and trenehes r are armed
with 18 batteries, and defended by 20,000 men.
The garrison of Sebastopol itself is only
10,000 strong. [lt is said that reinforcements
have been since thrown in from Odessa.] There
are 13,000 sailors on board the fleet in the har
bor. Prince Menschiltoff issned n proclama
tion on the 3d, in which he prepared the citi
zens fur a resistance to the la it extremity. In
this proclamation he enumerates ell the victo
ries gained by the Russian arms during the
present century, and calls on the soldiers to
show themselves equal to their predecessors in
bravery and power of endurance. If the ene
my, (he says) owing to the inscrutable will of
[leaven, should gain a victory. then let the
whole store of powder go with him and them
into the the air ! The proclamation concludes
"Itather let us die tlian surrender!"
On the other hand, the Vienna Lloyds states
that the Russian line of defence is too esten•
ded to be successfully mataieined, and thiit,
from the nature of the suil, the intrenched
works jest constructed by the Russians on the
laud side of Sebastopol, cannot be very for
midable.

Austro—Prussian Negotiations.
Negotiations are being carried on between
Prussia and Austria, but they proceed very
slowly, wider a consciousness or how little avail
are any such negotiations so long as the event
of the expedition against 6obastopol is un
known. Until decisive information on thin
point is received, no result in to be expected,
and not until the negotiations between the two
Powers have been brought to a harmonium
close will any report be presented at Frankfort
by the political comtnittee of the Bund.
It had been reported (but the report must be
received with caution,) that Russia had propo.
sed to Austria a joint protectorate over the
Principalities, excluding all participation by
the Western Powers.
