Excerpt from Message of the President of the United States, Transmitting a Report of the Secretary of the Navy, in Compliance With a Resolution of the Senate of December 6, 1854, Calling for Correspondence,& Relative to the Naval Expedition to Japan Sir: So soon as the steam frigate Mississippi shall be in all respects ready for sea, you will proceed in her, accompanied by the steamer Princeton, to Macao, or Hong Kong, in China, where the vessels of your command will rendezvous. You will touch at such ports on your passage out as you may deem necessary for supplies, &c. It has been deemed necessary to increase the naval force of the United States in the East India and China seas, for reasons which will be found in the enclosed copy of a communication from the Secretary of State addressed to this department under date of November, 1852. The force at present there consists of the steam frigate Susquehanna, Commander Buchanan, sloop Plymouth, Commander Kelly, and sloop Saratoga, Commander Walker. The store ship Supply, Lieutenant Commanding Sinclair, is on her passage to that station. There will be added to this force, at the earliest day practicable, the ship-of-the-line Vermont, Captain Paulding; the steam frigate Mississippi, Captain McCluney; the corvette Macedonian, Captain Abbot; the steamer Princeton, Commander Lee; the steamer Alleghany, Commander Sands; the sloop Vandalia, Commander Pope; and the store-ship Southampton, Lieutenant Commanding Boyle. With this you will receive a copy of the general instructions given to Commodore John H. Aulick, recently in command of the East India squadron, which you will consider as in full force and applicable to your command. You will also receive herewith copies of other orders addressed to Commodore Aulick, which may require your attention after you reach your station. The special mission to Japan with which you have been charged by the government will require all your firmness and prudence, in respect to which the department entertains the fullest confidence that they will be adequate for any emergency. In prosecuting the object of your mission to Japan you are invested with large discretionary powers, and yon are authorized to employ dispatch vessels, interpreters, Kroomen or natives, and all other means which you may deem necessary to enable you to bring about the desired results. The suggestions contained in the accompanying letter from the Secretary of State to this department you will consider as your guide, and follow as the instructions of the government. You will confer with the commissioner of the United States to China as to the course most advisable for you to pursue to give weight to his demands upon the Chinese government for the settlement of claims of citizens of the United States against that government. Your attention is particularly invited to the exploration of the coasts of Japan and of the adjacent continent and islands. You will cause linear or perspective views to be made of remarkable places, soundings to be taken at the entrances of harbors, rivers, &c., in and near shoals, and collect all the hydrographical information necessary for the construction of charts.
