QUEEN VICTORIA AND PRESIDENT

BUCITAYAN.

(From the Boston Courier.)
Notwithstanding the two wars and the constancy of the
abuse of Americans and the institutions of America by the
press of England, there is still a " fellow-feeling'' between
the tw© nations. Jonathan is too mighty a man to be
affected by diatribes of the cockneys of London, and
although he often suffers himself to be irritated, upon reflec-
tion he owns that he likes England. The following corre-
spondence interprets the true sentiments of America and
England :
" PRESIDENT BUCHANAN TO QUEEN VICTORIA.
"To her Majesty Queen Victoria,—I have learned from
the public journals that the Prince of Wales is about to
visit your Majesty's North American dominions. Should
it be the intention of his royal highness to extend his visit
to the United States I need not say how happy I should be
to give him a cordial welcome to Washington. You may
be well assured that everywhere in this country he will be
greeted by the American people in such a manner as can-
not fail to prove gratifying to your Majesty. In this they
will manifest their deep sense of your domestic virtues as
well as their convictions of your merits as a wise, patriotic,
and constitutional sovereign.
" Your Majesty's most obedient servant,
" JAMES BUCHANAN.

" Washington, June 4, 1860.
4, QUEEN VICTORIA TO PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.

" Buckingham Palace, June 22, 1860.
"My Good Friend,—l have been much gratified at the
feelings which prompted you to write to me, inviting the
Prince of Wales to come to Washington. He intends to
return from Canada through the United States ; and it will
give him great pleasure to have an opportunity of testify-
ing to you in person that these feelings are fully recipro-
cated by him. He will thus be able, at the same time, to
mark the respect which he entertaiis for the chief magis-
trate of a meat and friendly state and kindred nation.
" The Prince of Wales will drop all royal state en leav-
ing my dominions, and travel under the name of Lord
Renfrew, as he has done when travelling on the continent
of Europe.
" The Prince Consort wishes to be kindly remembered
to you.
" I remain, ever your good friend,

" VICTC/RIA R."

HARVEST PROSPECTS ON THE CONTINENT.—The
latest accounts received by the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce, as to the appearance of the growing crops in
France, favour the hope of a good average year. There is
one remarkable fact to be observed, which is, that every
crop is good of its kind—corn, hay, the vines, and all de-
scriptions of fruit. The accounts from the seaports on the
Baltic are not favourable. The reports from Italy generally
are good, with the exception of those from Naples. The
accounts from Spain are favourable, except those from Cata-
louia,
