It was during this interval that an officer of the squadron approached Yedo, and if he did not ac- tually enter it, at least was near enough to judge of its appearance, and to ascertain, what, however, we believe a surveying party had done before, that close to the shore there is five fathoms water, so that it can be syoecne by bo ships.
