At noon on the 5th inst, the Japanese Princes, 
accompanied liy their principal officers and the 
Naval Commissioner, proceeded to the Executive 
Mansion to take leave of the President The in 
terview was cordial, and of comparatively long 
continuance. The President, Among other things, 
informed them that he hud selected for the Com¬ 
mission several of the most gallant officers of oar 
Navy, who In peace were most hind, hut in war 
we depend on them for our defence. He hinted, 
however, that they never would be required to 
operate against Japan. 
The distinguished visitors then, through their 
interpreter, expressed their high appreciation of 
the President’s address, and, as on former occa¬ 
sions, alluded to the handsome reception with 
which they had met, and of the many kind atten¬ 
tions bestowed on then). 
The President presented to each of the Princes 
a large gold medal bearing his likeness, and with 
a suitable inscription, etiuck at the Philadelphia 
mint, ami also a number of beautifully hound il¬ 
lustrated American hooks. These were received 
with evident delight. At parting,the hand shak¬ 
ing was mutually cordial, and Die interview 
throughout of a gratifying and pleasant character. 
Two of the Treasury department spent several 
hours with the Japanese on the subject of cur¬ 
rency, tho object being to obtain all possible In 
formation with a view to the regulation of com¬ 
mercial transactions, but nothing definite is yet 
accomplished. 
It appears that the Japanese Lave much knowl¬ 
edge of refining silver and base metals, hut not of 
gold, and it is thought a long time most elapse 
before a satisfactory understanding can be arrived 
at in relation to the value of the latter, 
John Peeves, naval architect, lute chief con¬ 
structor of the Naval Arsenal at Constantinople, 
filed on the Oth inst, before tlie Committee on 
Foreign Affairs, charges of a severe character 
against John P. JJrown, Dragoman and Secretary 
of Legislation at Constantinople. Tho charges 
are of robbery, attempted assriHsination, false im¬ 
prisonment, conniving with others to deprive Mr. 
Reeves of his cilice under the Turkish government, 
and to secure it for an Englishman, and several 
others of an equally ruinouB character. Mr. 
Reeves asked in his petition that an investigation 
be made into these charges, as they are suscepti¬ 
ble of the clearest proof. Mr. Brown was acting 
as Charge d’ Affaires at the time the offences were 
committed. _ _

Senate. —The lloutnas Land grant bill wrb dis¬ 
cussed. The second section, compelling a Buit to 
be brought within two years, was stricken out by 
an amendment by Mr. Toombs, that Congress 
refuses to confirm the grants under the Ilonmas 
claim, and the hill thus passed. 
The Post-Master General has answered the call 
concerning Mr. Fowler’s defalcation, and mokes 
Borne exUftordinary revelations. It appears that 
his accounts were never legally settled during 
the whole term of the present Administration, 
but were adjusted by a fictitious system in flagrant 
violation of the letter and spirit of the law. The 
accounts are settled quarterly, bnt six months 
elapse generally before any quarter is closed up. 
Weekly returns are made, to the Finance Bureau 
of the Department, showing the actual deposits 
against which drafts may he made. 
It has been the practice in the Auditor's office, 
in adjusting Mr. Fowler's accounts during the last 
three years, when the balance was found against 
him at the end of the quarter, instead of requiring 
it to be paid, or reporting it to the Post-Master 
General, us the law contemplates, to credit him 
from the current returns of the ensuing quarter 
made to the financial office, thus enabling liiin to 
use the receipts of one to meet the deficiency 
of the other, thereby concealing a defalcation

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Great Britain. —The British channel fleet had 
sailed on a cruise. 
London, Saturday,—Tho Board of Trade an¬ 
nounces that Port Saijou, in Cochin China, has 
been opened to foreign trade. 
Tho directors of the Great Eastern Ship Com¬ 
pany have decided that she shall return from New 
York direct to Milford Haven. 
France. —The Paris Paine publishes a dispatch 
from Sicily, dated Wednesday, which states that 
the Neapolitan troop* still occupiedP&lmero, and 
that the insurrection was making great progress 
at till points. Garibaldi had been joined by all of 
bis officers, and particularly by Col. Medici, with 
considerable reinforcements. He was menacing 
Monreale, the surrender of which would lead to 
the fall of Palermo. 
A telegram from Pinna asserts that M. Tliouve- 
nel has declared to the Austrain envoy in Paris, 
that the Emperor Napoleon regrets that Russia 
(should have premuturely brought forward the 
E.tstern question, but thinks it desirable to asso¬ 
ciate himself with Russia, lest she should assume 
the exclusive protectorate of tho Christians in 
Turkey, and is therefore disposed to acknowledge 
tho principle of the inquiry proposed by the Rus¬ 
sian Cabinet. 
Italy. — Dispatching of troops to Sicily con¬ 
tinues. They country is tranquil, and tho police 
are ready to repress any popular movement 
Dispatches from Sicily are contradictory. It is 
said that popular rising in Palermo, and the bom¬ 
bardment, were progressive; that Garibaldi had 
entered, or was expected. 
Neapolitan dispatches claim the defeat of the 
Insurgents. 
Late dispatcher assert that everything was go¬ 
ing on well with Garibaldi. The English and 
French residents at Palermo had embarked on 
board the steamers of their respective nations. 
An attack by the insurgents was expected at any 
moment. The Neapolitan General would defend 
the town. The Insurgents still occupied the 
heights surrounding Palermo. 
Several Neapolitan vessels of war at rived at 
Palermo. 
The Paris I'atrie says:—Insurrection being or¬ 
ganized to such an extent that its definite results 
are no longer doubtful, the fall of Palermo Is in 
evitable, being only a question of time. As soon 
as the Insurgents become masters of Palermo, 
Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to Italy. 
Advices from Messina to the 21st, state that on 
the 20lh, forty-six Neapolitan deserters were fired 
at while passing to the insurgents, Two consid¬ 
erable disembarkations of volunteers had taken 
place—at Sail Stefana de Uameston on the right, 
and at Santa Peto to the left, of Palermo. The 
rising at Messina had not yet taken place. It was 
reported that Palermo would soon surrender. A 
proclamation by the Committee of Palermo had 
been posted up iu all parts of that town announc¬ 
ing the victorious march Of Garibaldi, and that 
Sicily would soon become independent. It also 
added that even then Neapolitan police were com¬ 
mencing to desert their musters, and terminated 
with viva Victor Emanuel, viva Garibaldi. 
The Insurrectionist Committee in Sicily is said 
to have sent a note to the foreign Consuls an¬ 
nouncing that the nation would be consulted, and 
that the Sicilian Parliament would be convoked. 
The Paris Palrie, after giving the Neapolitan 
dispatch announcing the defeat of Garibaldi, state 
that Garibaldi is Baid to have attacked the Royal 
Troops, who were strongly entrenched, and to 
have completely beaten them. This combat would 
lead to the immediate evacuation l«y the Royal 
troops of Palermo, Messina, Trapana, Catana and 
Syracuse. 
The latest accounts say the heights around Pal¬ 
ermo were occupied by insurgents, and an attack 
was imminent Gen. Lama had demanded an 
armistice of Garibaldi, without effect 
Highly Important from Japan. 
The Overland Mail Coach, with San Francisco 
dates to the 21st of May, three days latter than by 
the Pony Express, arrived at Springfield, Mo., on 
the 10th inst The papers furnish the following 
highly important news from Japan aud China. 
The schooner Page, which left the Bay of Jeddo 
April 23d, and the steamer Yagtze, with news 
from China to April 10th, report that the Chinese 
have concluded to pay the English and French 
governments their expensep, and accede to all 
their demands. The ports and navigation of the 
rivers are to be free. 
The Americans are charged by the China Chron¬ 
icle with having been engaged in the Coolie trade, 
and a proclamation has been issued by a dis¬ 
tinguished Chinese ollicial, warning them against 
the practice of kidnapping. 
The Prince Goitairo, who was at the head of the 
present Japanese government, was assassinated 
on the 15th of March. He was going from his 
house to the Falacc with his train, when he was 
attacked by fourteen Japanese dressed aBtiavelei'B. 
His retinue bad six killed and several wounded. 
Thirty people were beheaded on the 1st of April, 
having been engaged in the affair. 
Bince the death of the old Tycoon, under whose 
regime the treaty was made, there has been an 
entire change in the government, the present 
dynasty being opposed to foreign intercourse, 
throwing every obstacle in the way to interrupt 
trade and commerce that they can possibly do 
without violating the treaty. The opposition, at 
the head of which is Prince Meto, is reported as 
being as strong bk the present government An 
insurrection was momentarily expected. Guard 
hoaseB, with stands of arms, are numerous, both in 
the towns and along the road to the city of Jeddo. 
Foreigners aro requested not to go out after dark, 
and are advised by their respective Consuls to go 
armed at all times. 
Later Intelligence. 
Thh telegraph, this (Tuesday) morning, gives 
the following additional items of interest, brought 
by the North Briton: 
France. —The London Herald, in its city arti¬ 
cle, gives currency to the report from China that 
the French had concluded an arrangement with 
the Chinese authorities, by which France accepts 
$2,000,000 indemnity for the insult to the French 
flag, and would therefore withdraw her forces. 
The Munitcur announces that the session of the 
CorpB Legislatef lias been adjourned till June 30th. 
Turkey. —The PariB correspondent of the Daily 
News gives a report that France and Russia had 
agreed to the partition of Turkey. England was 
to be offered a share, and if she refused, they 
would go in without her. 
China.— Letters say although the exact tenor 
of the Chinese reply is not made public, it was 
known to be unsatisfactory, and hostilities ap¬ 
peared inevitable. Hong Cliow had been retaken 
by the rebels, but the silk districts were Btill in u 
disturbed state. 
The Sicilies. —An official Neapolitan telegram 
of the 2<’>th says, this morning the insurgents were 
attacked by our troops, beaten and driven from 
their strong position at Parco, and it is now oc¬ 
cupied by our columns. The insurgents sustained 
great losses. Another column is pursuing them 
in the direction of Mina Malta. 
Accounts by mail state that at Messina, on the 
‘22d, order was maintained, but everything w.-.s 
rife for an outbreak in case Garibaldi succeeded 
in entering Palermo, of which there was little 
doubt. His force was then estimated at 15.000, 
but is said to have been subsequently swelled to 
40,000. 
According to an intercepted dispatch from the 
general commanding the royal forces at Alcamo, 
out of 5,000 there were lost 2,300 in killed. Of 
the wounded no mention is made—for, as the 
insurgents gave no quarters, their return is 
unnecessary. Many royal troops who return¬ 
ed to Palermo after the action with Gartbaldi’B 
forces, died of fatigue. 
A later official dispatch, dated Naples, May 28, 
says the Sicilian l auds are leaving the troops of 
Garibaldi, who have again been beaten at Paina, 
having had many killed and taken prisoners. 
The insurgents lost one cannon, and are in full 
flight, pressed by royal troopB beyond C’orselone. 
The provinces aie tranquil, and the revolutionary 
States discouraged. 
The official Donon Zeitung publishes the fol¬ 
lowing, dated, • 
Naples, May 27.—The bands of Garibaldi have 
been totally routed. Garibaldi himself is endea¬ 
voring to cmbaik. The rebels accuse each other 
of treachery. 
Turin, May 29.—The Gazette publishes an offi¬ 
cial dispatch from Naples, announcing the arrival 
there of an English steamer with the following:— 
The insurgents have entered Palermo. A consid¬ 
erable portion of the population have risen. The 
city has been bombarded by sea and land. The 
bombardment commenced Sunday morning, and 
continued when the steamer left. 
Paris, June 29. —The Patrie publishes, under 
reserve, the following dispatch: 
Naples, May 28.—Garibaldi having collected 
all his forces and military material, attacked 
Palermo on the morning of the 2Gth, and made 
himself master of all the out works, and suc¬ 
ceeded in entering the town. The London Times 
places no teliance on official telegraphs from 
Naples, as sufficient time has elapsed to show 
their sheer fabrication. 
The following is the latest intelligence received 
from an authentic source by the Times: 
Takis, May 20.—A second telegram from 
Naples, announces a popular rising at Palermo, 
and an attempted bombardment by sea and land 
by the Neapolitan troops. The entrance of Gari¬ 
baldi into Palermo was expected. 
Naples, May 30—9.30 A. M—The bombardment 
of Palermo lasted several hours, and Garibaldi 
entered the town on the 26tb. The head-quarters 
of Garibaldi are in the Contreetown. The num¬ 
ber killed is large.
