The first period comprises the time when the trea-
ties allowing indirect trade, contracted with the
Hanse Towns Sweden and other Powers, in 1897
and succeeding years, first began to operate and
although during the latter years the proportion Of
foreign vessels rapidly increased the average Of the
whole was but eighteen per cent.
The second period commenced at about the time
when a new impulse was added TO the already in
crcasing foreign navigation by the Colonial arrange
ment, with Great Britain in 1891 and 1882. Curing
these FIVE years the proportion of foreign tonnage
nearly doubled, while the amount hercofincreased
from two to six millions.
During the last five years, period marked by cx-
traordinary commercial fluctuations, the acquired
proportion Of foreign tonnage has been preserved with
remarkable uniformity. This latter fact is an ev-
dence that however the commercial interests Of the
United States may have been depressed by these
olutions and fluctuations, the navigation interests of
foreign Powers have not been seriously affected in
their intercourse with us.
The able report Of the Committee Of Commerce Of
the House of Representatives mo. 1885, May, 1892
embraces all the facts and statistics relating our
navigation and shipping interests and refer to it
with pleasure for full information. All which is re-
spectfuy submitted. A. p. UPSHUR

The interests Of commerce will probably prove
themselves powerful in this in other No
slight could have effected difficult work
the union of all Germany for great and general
object. In the prosecution OF this scheme, Germany,
Notwithstanding the number and diversity of its
States, acquires political unity, establishes den-
tity Of national feeling, and secures for itself that
rank amongst nations to which its extent, its re-
sources, and its character eutitle it.
There is continually increasing demand iD all the
States of the Zo Verein for the most Of the impor
tant articles of the produce Of the United States
For example, in 1884 the Union imported lac, 800
zoll ceniuers leach cenuer equal to los pounds of
our tobacco whilst in 1912 the importation of the
same article amounted to 24S TAG zo centuers. The
demand for our cotton and rice within the same Pc
Rod has increased in similar ratio.
In return for these large exports, we receive a
comparatively small amount of German manuiac-
lures, and the articles which do receive, for the
most part, such not produced IN the United
States g., looking glass plates, silks, toys, &c
The difference is paid us in cash.
Emigration from Germany to the United States
presents subject of great importance TO US. We
receive from the States associated in the German
Union most valuable emgrants, consisting chiefly OF
farmers of excellent characters and industrious hab
its who BRING their adoped country sufficient gold
and silver TO enable them to purchase and settle

Chamber Of Deputies of the kingdom OF Bavaria,

I ever innocent, 10 carried on openly in Che face
Of the world aud, therefore, in every negotia-
ton there must be secrets. II Gen. Houston
meant that the main secret was already discoy-
cred, ofcourse he was literally correct
But The British Government might make a
proposition 10 Texas, without making IL in
writing 10 be recorded in ''the archives )" il
might make it, and not necessarily in the form
of "a condition." il would hardly threaten
compulsory" measures, or asser, its PROPOSE
tons " as right )" IT might propose something
very detrimental in its tendencies 10 the inle-
rests OF this country, which, nevertheless, would
not be Incompatible with the interests of
Texas, "as Gen. Houston may be pleased TO un.
derstand those interests and whatever The propo-
siton may be, they have certainly had the effect
of inducing Gen. Houston himself as well the
journals supporting his administration, 10 extol
the British Government, at the same time that
they villify that Of the United States.
The inference which the Intelligencer draws
from this garbled extract is the same as if Presi-
dent Houston had said in plain terms, ''Eng-
land has not, in any manner, proposed TO this
Government the abolition of slavery, and if il
should do sothe proposition will not be enter
tanned" This declaration would have saved
Mr. Houston the trouble of making a long
speech for the purpose of lulling the suspicious
ofhis hearers, and at the same time disposng them
in favor of England; but he carefully and inge-
niously avoided committing himself by SO posi-
tive denial, and therefore we draw an infer
ence directly The contrary of that of the Intelli-
gcnceT.

THE VAN buren, CONVENTION.

We clip the following from The last Charles
ton Mercury, to show our readers that there are
still some REPUBLICANS who are yesoirel 10 hold
fast TO the "true creed" and who disdain to
wear any party tyranl's collar:
'If we cannot support the Democratic creed, the
true creed, with free trade at its head in supporting
Mr.. Van Buren,, then will never support him,
though forty conventions should unanimously nomi-
nate him. And il we can support that creed best by
supporting him. we shall take good care not to allow
the interests of any man to interfere. AS to the Ma
tona Convention We have never desired its existence
and therefore precious little whether it is com
posed of men or monkeys. What is reasonable and
good in itself is not made particle more by the
sanction of such body, and what is bad is not a
whit worse for its approval and praise"
The Mercury is not TO be caught in the pre-
valeni hy-trap of the day, viz: asserting pre-
ference for Calhoun, but pledging itself to sup
port the nominee of the Conrention, i. e. Van
Buren,. The Van Buren, Conv ention, of course,
will nominate Van Buren, The delegates have
been selected by the managers for that purpose.
And The party despots are every where striving
TO extort pledge to go for The "nominee Of the
Convention p
Unless minorites shall have their full weight
In an aggregate vote-unless the small States
are guaranteed the rights which are due them
and the voice of the People be both heard and
respected, by means Of delegates directly from
them, who shall be permitted, each man, to re-
present the wishes of his constituents in the
final vote-,hen it will be no assemblage of
honest men, and its nominee no candidate for
treemen TO support.
We take our stand beside the Mercury, and
would rather fall in such a cause, than to share
in the triumph Of the Emperor of New y ork, if
it should be secured by the unworthy means
his friends are resosting TO. But triumph for
him will never eo<ne TO pass.

THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
OF STATE,

Which will be found in this davis paper. will
doubtless be read with great satisfaction The
commercial treaty which is likely to be con
summated by our Minister at Berlin, with the
German Customs Union, will be regarded as OF
great moment by the agricultural interests OF
our country
The tabular information furnished respecting
the component parts of the Customs Union-lhe
nature of the emigration from Bavaria, tonnage,
&C., &c, will be found Of great value 10 all in
curing minds.
This communication we think is one of the
Secretary Upshur is justly regarded as among
the best-if not the very best-wriers of the
age.

The amount Of money which these emigrans bore
with them as far it is known TO the Bavarian Gov
eminent is nearly seven millions Of guders-equsl
to about 81 800 O00 but in consequence of the heavy
tax which levied not only in Bavaria but throughout
a great part Of Germany, upon money and other per
sona property taken out of the country by emgrants,
it is probable that few Of the persons enumerated
made declaration TO the Government OF more than
one half of their property. We may reasonably sup
nose therefore, that those persons must have taken
with them nearly twelve millions of guilders-equa
to ab out a. sOOO 900. The number and value Of the
pcople who come TO us from all Germany may thus
be we'll appreciated not only in their personal cha
ractcr but in the addition they make 10 actual
wealth.
In order TO remove the impedinent TO emigration,
presented in the heavy tax imposed on the property
of the emigrans have, by your direction, instruct
ed the Minister Of the United States at Berlin, Mr..
Wheaton who has been furnished with full powers
for that purpose To conclude special conventions Tor
the aboli ION of the doif de abnne and droa de de-
traction between the United States and the following
German States who have severally expressed their
readiness to enter into such arrangement, viz;
His Majesty tho King Of Bavaria.
His Majesty the King Of Saxony.
His Majesty the King Of Wurtemburg
His Royal Higbntss the Elsctor Of Hesse.
His ROYAL TIigbness the Grand Duke of Hesse.
His Royal fIigbncss the Grand Duke of Baden
Powers were also at the same time given to Mr..
Wheaton TO negotiate treaties Of commerce and navi
cation with the Grand Ducbcs of Mecklenburg
cbwerin and Gutenberg, two States not yet included
in the Customs Union.
In view Of these and other advantages which the
contemplation of this subject held out the Minister
of the United States at Berlin had been instructed TO
use every eneriion IN his power to place our rels-
