lectng books and pamphlets wherever l could find
them on the trade resources and currency Of France
When return to New York next month, shall
bring mass of information on these points, such as
no other man in the Union can have. On the science
OF finance and currency, the most philosophical
works are to be found in Paris. THIS is hardly
known in New York-but il is SO. The French were
the first philosophical writers political economy
and finance. The revolution of 1889 was conducted
en- these principles; but owing to the ignorance of
the Jacoblns, the locofocos of 1892 their paper mo-
ney and currency became deraneed and destroyed
Just as the currency Of the United States has become
under the reign of Mr.. Locofoco Van Buren,. This
result in 1892 created prejudice in the minds OF
the French against the credit system and convertible
paper money. Recently, however, they have return
ed to their first principles. Banksar establishing all
over France and have no doubt, that they viii
manage their currency much better than il ever has
been done in England, because they are more sc en-
tikc more precise and rapid in their movements
than the English are.
l have already collected dozen valuable volumes
on these subjects in this capital-and before leave
for London will get as many more.
have also been very busy getting oral Information
from bankers and men of business the present re-
markable condition of France, SO far as il regards
*
for the French merchants in New York, for when my
own tenghted, silly count-ymen, called the Scotch,
with some few honorable exceptens,) were joining
the rascay camor Of the politicians against me, the
French had too much intelligence and independence
10 paw any attention 10 these regues. Thanks to the
ever Blessed Virgin, have long since got out Of the
reach Of these men, but during the next forty years
Of NV life, and mean TO live long temperance
live L
wise all these men in New York, such Joe Hoxe
and his associates to look well to their condsct and
behavior in all future time. | forgive them for the
evil they have done to my name, with the exception
OF the $500, which mean to get out Of Haggery or
Hoxie in some shape or other before the end Of the
present century.
So much for that apiabe matter. You will per
ce;ve from this, that wherever ! wander, over the
wilds of Scotland-through the alleys Of London
along the rres of Paris among the orange trees Of
the Gardens of the Thuilleres, Ihave always CRATE
fuI recollection of my frends-and that my gratitude
is every now and them bubblng up like the spring Of
81. An,hony's well on Salisbury Craig or the miHia-
tue wafer works Of the PaLdiS Roysi May my
night hand forget cunning if my heart ever forget
nv friends and their many amable a. Is OF kindness.

versed with several other medical men from the
United States, who have been IN London, and all
agree that England only equal TO the United States
in medical skill but that Paris surpasses them both
Whatever the French pursue, be Il war or peace-sc-
enoe or art they pursue it with enthusiasm Indeed
the is the great feature Of their chsracter-and IRON
this feature expect that, in few years, this great
couauy will rival England in trade eommerca cur
rency and manufactures Bnhus asm 10 the only basis
Of emneRce in every noble pursuit. Enthusiasm 10 the
intellectual steam power which urges the mind Tor
