Infamous as he is, thereSis no denying
him talents of superior order, and to
no country on earth are they more re-
doubtable than to the q. States. How
over much he and Talleyrand differ on
other points, they accord perfectly in
their hostility to us--I have the follow
ing from good authority. Some years ago
these gentlemen, while ministers Of
Bonaparte, agreed with the British Co
yernment to furnish them with $4,000
men, to be employed in our subjugation
on condition that England would aid in
restoring st. Domingo to France. The
plan was nearly matured. Bonaparte
was really, or affected to'be, irritated at
the measure which seems to have been
undertaken by the two arch fiends, with

c. The scanty supplies of American
produce have kept up our market; and
a successive enhancement in prices has
taken place in consequence ofthe en-
creased demand. Tobaccoes have been
paid very dear, and the shipments made
in this leaf have turned out uncommonly
beneficial. Our wants have always ex-
ceeded the imports ; our prices stand We
nv high now as you will observe in our
price current: and as the accounts from
the y. States allow no expectations of
supplies of any note, there is every APP
pearanee of their further taking favor.
The cargoes which will eventually drop
in, will Notwithstanding the high cost,
render extremely well. Cotton is none
here, and the demand very lively. We
have sold inferior Georgia at 40 cts. A
decline cannot be thought of.-Rice sells
readily if the quality is good.-Ih colo
NAL produce no change can be expected,
the imports from England and direct,
fully balance our wants. Cstiee and SUI
CARS are rather slack; cocoa and hides
saleable; pepper and pimento requested
dye stuffs are stationary ; logwoods look
ing up little /; indigoes prime and COM
mon sell middllng won't do.
{: The differences in France are now
adjusted, and we look for much stir in
business from the solid re-establishment
of peace. We trust that our market will
out-yie any other fer the sale Of Amerl-
can produce, and that tobaccoes will al
ways merit attention.

Extract of a letter from a mercantile

dated Oct. 90, 1915.
g The late demand for cotton in Eng
land, and the purchase made in all the
continental markets for British account,
whilst it has drained all the markets in
Holland and France, has reduced Very
materially the price of the article in III
yerpool. We do net believe that at this
moment there are 100 bales of cotton
in the marketof a good quality, in the
first hands-and We have no doubt, that
the FIRST cargo that arrives, will command.
50 to 40 groots per pound, exchange mo-
ney, for good Upland Georgia and al
to AZ for Louisiana, which is higher than
any market on the continent of Europe.
Tobacco of all descriptions is very high
all over the continent and the supply re-
.ceived has not kept pace with the de-
mand this market requires that OF a

In the House of Representatives, says
the National Lntelligeucer at Wednesday,
there was an animated debate on the sub
;ectof Military Academies. The result
Of the debate was, that there should not
be more than one additional Military A
cadeluy and it is doubtful whether the
house viii agree upon the point where
that one shall be established. 'Fhe pro-
ceedings on this subject, however;the rea-
der viii observe, having taken place in
the committee Of the whole, are net con-
elusive on any point but one, on which
there appeard to bea large majority. viz.
that ifthere be bat che additional AGA
deny decided on, its locatios shall not
be within the District of Columbia.
