The Japan Squadron.—The Washington Star learns from a reliable source that the government has instructed Com. Perry to return this spring to Japan, with all his ships under his command that could be spared from the China seas, to receive the answer of the Emperor to our proposals; and then to return home with all his vessels except a steamer and two sloops of war which are to remain in that quarter as the regular U. S. East Indies squadron. And further, that the returning vessels will come home via the Pacific, touching at San Francisco, and other most important points in the usual Pacific route, thence to the U. States. The commodore is expected to return himself, overland, with as little delay as possible. He is understood to have applied successfully for permission so to do.
