According to the Dictionary of Virginia Biography, Cabell traveled through Europe (England, Italy, France) between 1803 and 1806, but there is no mention of him going to Japan or China. The exerpt also cites Carol Minor Tanner's Dissertation, "Joseph C. Cabell, 1778-1856," (UVA, 1948) as an additional source of  biographical information. I hope this is helpful.
See Dictionary of Virginia Biography, Vol. II, ed. Sara Bearss, et.al. (Richmond, 2001), pp. 488-490.

 Randolph Cabell wrote:Somewhere in the cobwebs of my brain, I recall hearing that between helping Mr. Jefferson with THE University, and frittering away his time (at least according to some sources:)) on the James River Kanawha Canal, Cabell went to China or Japan. But I cannot find anything to substantiate that memory. Is there a bio of the gentleman, or perhaps a publication coming from his purported trip?
