FROM cosBETr's REGISTER.

Sqoedea The affairs in this country seem
now to be settled. From an article. WHICH
will be found in a former number, and from
the speech of the new Crown Prince, it
will appear, that the dynasty of Sweden has
been changed, with as little difficulty as
man changes his servants and with much
less difficulty, than man can change bad
servants for good. Not only has there been
none OF that ohhoeifien-none of those com.
A1otiohs, which were so confidently foretold
by our ministerial prints but The people,
the whole nation indeed, but more especi.

Atatme when Our commerce is interrupt, .
an every quarter, it becomes important that w
should property estimate good understanding
with that nation which alone appears disposed
to respect our rights and to act towards rs witt
any thing like reciprocity. Il is with Russia
alone that we now enjoy commerce OF this 6e>-
cription it is her Emperor alone, ameng ell che
sovereigns of the earth, who, unmoved by sp-
mt ot avarice, and uninAuenced BY the example
which he is urged by considerations Of interest
10 follow, treats our flag with the respect due
TO neutral. We have therefore frequently felt
surprize when we have heard suggestions of
the inutility of our embassy to Russia, with
whom it is said we have so little trade True it
~, that whist every avenue of commerce was
open 10 us; before general spirit OF robbery
and plumber had swept the seas of honorable
commerce: our trade to Russia was very limi-
led. But it has progressively increased and
prospered, particularly since oir mission to Rus
STA.
The agency Of Mr. Adams, our minister. has
been productive ofthe most beneficial effects. in
distinguishing between real American traders
aud those who skulked under our Tag, thus
rescuing the American trade from the destrtc-
ton with which it WAS raenaced on account of
the coupterfeits who id >nlified themselves with
bona fide Americans. The Importation of Eng
lish fabrics into Russia having been prohibited,
the only mode OF passing them off was by means
OF forged American papers. The frequency OF
these forgeries led to an ind;scriminate 'suspi
oion OF American traders and the mission to
Russia, by ensuring the detectiono of such frauds,
has re.established the American character, and
given security to the commerce. at leas, afte,
its arrival in port. The embassy to Russia
therefore has been productive Of the greatest
benefit to our commerce, and is at this time per-
haps the most important of all those which the
u. States maintain in Europe. Should Denmark
cease her spoliations-and we are sanguine in
our expectation that our mission to that court
will recall lis monarch TO asen;s of that Justice
by which he at one tine appeared to be influ-
enced should our trade be unembarra ssed bv
seizures or exactiOns in the Sound, the trade TO
Russia in the present state of the world will be
i'fsalaabie. Indeed lift only increase in the same
rate it has done for three or four years pas, ;
that is, since the existence of tie British and
French orders and DEGREES it will soon be far
the greatest vent for the exports of the u. S.
The following is the amount of exports to Rus

Foreign produce.

The value OF imports not being known. 1t can
only be estimated by the amount of duties.
Which, in the Treasury accounts, are always II
months behind the accounts of exports SO that
the amount OF duties on the imports of one
thousand eight huncred and ten, cannot be as
certained. The amount of duties on imports for
the three last quarters of 1909, previous to
which year there was little or no importation
from Russia, is l23, 0S4 dollars. 1t will be seen,
however, that our exports to Russia in 1910
quadrupled the amount of exports in the prece-
ding year I; and as importation from any country
probably increases in the same proportion as ex-
portation to that country, the duties accruipp
on importations in 1910 will probably have a
mounted to upwards of six hundred thousand
dollars
Is this trade of no value Ought it not 90
be the policy of the u. States to cultivate good
Understanding with the nation with whom our
trade is becoming offs great importance to us
It is worthy of consideration, too, in estimating
the value of mutual good understanding be-
tween the u. States and Russia, that, both in
point of population and territory, she is the most
powerful nation in Europe, and the only nation
whose sovereign--a sovereign whose cliaractc
and conduct honorable to the nation as
to himseif-avows himself friend to neutral
rights. Under these impressions, we view the
mission to Russia as of the utmost Importance
TO the commerce of the u. States, and the most
honorable appointment abroad that is in the
gift of our government.--That II is deemed
by the Executive of high mp, rtance that we
should properly be represented at the Court of
st Petersburg, may be inferred from the selsc-
tion which has been made of so distinguished
citizen as the present Secretary Of State as
our envoy to that court, and from the prOmpti-
tude with which a successor to Mr.. Adams has
been appointed. Nat. Int.
