sive levels it could 'command, Paris is undo übt-
edly very well suited to become a great centre
for internal navigation ; and all things consi-
dered, it is not wonderful that sueh an object
should engage the attention of' men of science
and capital ; yet, strange to say, its water commu-
nications are less perfect than those perhaps of
any great town in the kingdom. Efforts have
been made in Paris on a large scale to establish
manufactures of various articles of primary ne-
cessity, but hitherto with very hadifferent suc-
cess, because cheap and regular means of con-
veyance are for such undertakings indispensable,
particularly in those departments of trade in
which working in metals is an essential element.
Machine making, for instance, and particu-
larly
the construction of steam-engines, has long
been languishing, and may now be said to be
almost annihilated ; whereas in England machine
making is the trade which has, perhaps, most
steadily flourished through all the casualties to
which commerce is proverbially exposed : and
the wealth which it has been the means of cre-
ating would have been still more largely accu-
mulated, had not the parties engaged in this de-
partment of manufacture been induced to sink
their growing capital in the form of accommo-
dation to the cotton spinners and other classes of
manufacturers, who are their ordinary cus-
omers. Thus, I havelnown a machine-maker,

in a large manufacturing town in England,
build a steam-engine and supply a whole cotton
factory with spinning jennies and other necessary
machines, for which he would be paid by a
series of bills amounting in number to not less
than twenty• five or thirty, and spread over a
period of six or seven years, by which means he
identified himself with the fate of the cotton
trade and the general prosperity of the country
during that long period.
" Although poorly supplied with water com-
munication, Paris, however, is better furnished
with roads than any other town in the kingdom,
from its being the great centre of all the royal
roads in France. Articles of luxury being easily
transported on common roads, by ordinary con-
veyances, the continued prosperity in Paris of
this species of industry is sufficiently accounted
for, while others of more general and primary
necessity have been unable to support the ex-
pence of transit by such imperfect means of con-
veyance. London is like Paris, the greatest
manufacturer in the kingdom of articles of lux-
ury, but while in Paris these articles are the
chief object of industry, in London they are
only secondary ; and in France, while the pro- I
vinces are justly jealous of the innumerable eta-
tues.and other ornaments accumulated in Paris
at the expence of the State—a jealousy which
has been not unnaturally, although not very
reasonably extended towards useful and reason-
able improvements ; in England it is very diffe-
rent, for there, in every county, the foreigner
is referred with pride to the growing pros-
perity of London, between which and the pro-
vinces there is no such ridiculous jealousy as
that which is now so prevalent in France.
If I have not already exhaused your pa-
tience on this subject, I may take some future
opportunity of returning to it, when, as to-day,
there is no topic of more pressing interest afloat."

HAMBURG, NOV. 20.

BOAsEN HAILE, FOUR O'CLoCE.—Our arrivals
of wheat from the interior continue trifling; the
best parcels have been bought for exportation, and
among our own consumers a disposition manifested
itself in the early part of the week, hut has con-
siderably abated during the last few days. Oar ar-
rivals from the Lower Elbe, though small, are of
such inferior quality that the owners have been
forced to dispose of them by public sale. In Rye
little doing ; prices the same.
From the 7th to the 14th November inclusive,
twenty cargoes of corn passed through the Sound ;
of these one was bound for Emden, eleven to British,
three to Dutch, two to French, and three to
Swedish ports.

London have been freely offered.

Our Journal contains a report of the army in
Turkey, from the 21st of September to the `1 of
October. It nearly coincides with that which we
have already given from the St. Petersburgh Jour-
nals ; it contains, however, the following passage,
which we do not find in the other :—" Numerous
Turkish troops are assembling at Silivria ; the Sul-
tan has already sent four regular regiments frotn
Constantinople to that place ; it seems that they in-
tend to push towards Rodosto, between our ad-
vanced posts." In consequence of the warning of
Count Diebitsch, that the Turkish troops were not
to come within the line of the Russian cantonments,
the movement appeals to have been suspended.
