The Japan Expedition. ‘ur government has organized a formidable naval expedition to Japan. Three firet class steamers, three sloope, and one brig of war, with a store thip, are to constitute the warlike squadron of Com- modore ‘Perry, in this singular, curious, if not illegal enterprise. The fact that such an expedition was projected, was first announced in the HERALD, some time ago. The provocations and objects of this warlike movement have since been semi-officially communicated to the world. Tapan is a populous, independent, oriental, sewi- barbarous nation, made up of an izomense eluster of volcanic islands, flanking the coast of China. The entire population of the empire is estimated at from “forty to fifty millions.. Jeddo, the eapital, ia the island of Niphon, is said to-be one of the most mag- nifiecnt and populous cities on the globe. The pro- ducts of the islands are varied and extensive, and the people are skilled in a variety of useful mann- factures. ‘The empire offers an inviting market to the commerce of Europe and the United States ; but, it remains to this day a sealed book to all “ outside barbarians,” except the Dutch, who, by treaty stipu- lations, enjoy certain exclusive, but limited, privileges of trade. - The Chinese, a-branch of the same race as the Japanese, not being elassified among the “outsiders,” have a more enlarged privikege of traffic ; but, substantially, the empire is locked up against tho ships of all civilized nations. The flags of England and the United States are especially un- der the ‘most rigorous exclusion ; and shipwrecked English or American sailors among the Japanese islands, ave subjected to tortures, compared with which the sufferings of Captain Riley, on the coast of Africa, are but the details of a holiday excursion among the natives. Within the last two years, the sailors of one or several American vessels have suf- fered from the treachery and barbarity of the Japa- nese. But while some died from their cruel treat- ment, others esaped to tell the story. Subsequently, if we ave not mistaken, an American vessel of war, the sloop Preble, entered the sacred waters of Jeddo, anchored off the city, and demanded the sur- render of certain American sailors, still supposed to be in the eustody of the local authorities. After considerable chaffering, and a threat of bombard- AMERICAN MUSEUM—Awusine Penronmanxoxs an Wer APeeK oon AND Evenine.

Nearly the whole ef yesterdays sesston of ‘the Wolted States Senate was ocoapied in discussing the most appropriate method of paying the expenses « ef Koseuth and evite—amounting to five thousand * @ollars, while in the national capital.

The House of Representatives agrecd to close the debate on the Froo Farm bill at threeve’clock; after which, a disquisition-on the prozpects and opiniens of the varieus domovratic-candidatesfor the Presi- dency. wae resumed.

Mr. Marshal was :quite severe on what he termed ‘‘shoe old fogies’’ of the party to which he belonged,<nd was especially sar- eastic upon Me. Breckenridge. the champion of Ger Batler. Tho latter gentlemen retorted, and quite an intewesting familyequarrel ensued. While those intestine wrangles ‘heve been going on among the Southem demecrats,the Northern demecrats and the abolitionists, the.whigs have kept in she shade and enjoyell the fun, It wii! be their turn pre- sently, and thes we shell have the opinions of the Fillmore, Soott, and Webster partizans. The fuss will. soon becom general. Our Washington despatches-eoutain several items of interest this morning.

Those unsatisfied outrages upon American seamen are set down as the casus belli for this expedition. The object of the squadron is openly declared to be war—the invasion of Jeddo, nolens volens, and the exploration of the islands, with an eye to their com- «uercial advantages. The enterprise may, therefore, de fairly pronounced a sort of experimental filibus- ter exploring expedition, on a scale equivalent to 2m actual declaration of war. The euecess of the ‘Avglish invasion of China, upon the opium queetion, may have suggested the practicability of this Ja- pancee experiment. The most lawless, and even the met atrocious, ontrages upon inoffensive nations, have very often resulted to the positive benefit of Ine mjurcd people themselves, and the world at largo.
