humble belief that of those five millions OF dollan
the emg rants from Germany furnish little more than
one-half although their number does not average more
than about 10000 annually, but think the average

the supposiiion that they remarkably flush of cash
You must not forget that in Germany the peasants
and the laboring classes in general have not the slight
est disposition to initiate the higher orders in dress and

Each man there lives as his father did before him
but industry and frugaty is the common inheritance
of all. Since ! am here some ten or twenty people
have asked my advice about emgrating to the United
States, each possessing capital from D to 10000
dollars which they ready to invest in real estate
Were the United States to watch those interests
or empower their foreign agents to take the matter
in hand, there would be necessity of laying duty
on each emigrant, and the streets of New York and
Philadelphia would not present, his honor the

The Duchy of Luxembourg, after much resistance
the part Of Holland (the King of which is at the
same time Duke of Luxemburg) has joined the Ger
man tariff league. This is very important acquisi-
ton, and leaves open prospect Of advantageous
commercial treaty with Holland The States of
Hanover have appointed committee to investigate
the pro and of their joining the league
Should they report favorably, and the Kingdom of
Hanover be admitted into the Union the league Zoll

venue purposes lit will have its own maritime po-

have the power to conclude such treaties Of commerce
and navigation with maritime powers as will secure
its interests in that quarter nation of upwards Of
forty millions, eminently Industrious and large

it would perhaps, be well for the United States to
attend early to matters and things in this region
There is strong disposition the part Of the Ger

Of it is imported into Germany directly from the U.
States, but sixty millions of pounds of twist
imported from England. Why should not the Ger

In France, the project OF extending the franchise
and excluding portion of the officers of the Crown
from seat in the Chambers, has been rejected by
considerable majority. The right of search, however
