TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

you have fallen into a gross error in stating that
Lord Althorp said on Friday that " a treaty of commerce
and navigation between France and this country was in a
forward state, and that he E4l, every reason to believe it
would soon be brought to a satisflasry conclusion."
My question referred to the trelr/Inciuded in 1f426,
for regulating the navigation betWeenliie two countries,
which had been violated by France from"the'time it came
into operation, and since submitted to by ns to the great
prejudice of our shipping interest.
In the last Session of Parliament I was informed that
the differences growing out of that treaty were under dis-
cussion, and it now appears that they are not yet brought
to any satisfactory conclusion.
I agree with you, that " nothing can be more absurd
than to suppose that our national prosperity must increase
in proportion as that of our neighbours decline"—except,
perhaps, the supposition, that our manufactures may soon
expect to reap the fruits of better counsels, which to
operate beneficially, must be reciprocal.
1 should not have troubled you with this statement, but
that it appeared to me desirable to correct an important
wis -statement.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Adelpbi, Dee. 10. G. R. ROBINSON.

We understand that Don PEDRO and Louis
Prim'. have really discussed the propriety of a treaty of
marriage between Donna Manta and the youngest son
of the French KING, but that nothing positive will be suf-
fered to transpire unless Donna MARIA should recover
the Crown of Portugal, and the Cortes consent to annul
the law which prohibits marriage with a foreigner. The
fortune which Louis PHILIP would give with his younger
son in marriage in this case would, it is said, be 750,000
francs per annurc.—an enorit.ons sum for Portugal.—
