YORK HERALD.
The New Commercial Treaty Between the
United States and Prussia.


We gave yesterday, exclusively, brief sketch
OF the very important new commercial treaty
which has recently been negotiated between the
American Minister at Berlin and the Prussan Co
vernment, including also the German Union, or
Zollverein. In our correspondence from Leipslc all
the leading features of that treaty were described,
together with succnct history of the steps which
led TO its conclusion with certain views also, oil
our correspondent as to the character OF Its private
history, and the results to which II was likely to
lead. In addition TO that private correspondence,
we have the pleasure TO give to day, also exclusive
w. from much better authority, in letter from
Frankfort, another view of the character of this
treaty, including other matters come cted with
the intercourse between Germany and the United
States. In the views expressed by our Frankfort
correspondent we mainly concur. We think that
the treaty concluded by Mr.. Wheaton is great
triumph the efforts of the British interests on
the Continent Of Europe and is another defeat of
all the intrigues and man9uvres of British policy
to Dust the United States from that country.
Had we received our Frankfort correspondence
the same day on which that from Leipsic reached
us, we should have accompanied the letter with an
explanation OF the charges made against Mr. Mark,
the United States Consul in Bavara--charges,
which we have reason to believe are without any
foundation, and which have been produced, we
have no doubt, by the jealousy Of the British agents
IN Germany, who have been completely out
wtted by this dexterous and expert dipomatist,
who was sent out by Mr. Tyler expressly to accom-
plish this treaty, in conjunction with Mr.. Wheaton.
On making inquiry into the character, reputation
and talents of Mr.. Mark, we have every reason to
be satisfied that the statements made by our cor
respondent from Lelpsic entirely unfounded
and to the remarks in the German newspapers
against this gentleman, no doubt they spring en-
tlrely from the British agents and British policy
and, therefore, all go for nothing
Thus much was due in explanation of the very
severe observations on which our correspondent
lndulged In relation 10 Mr. Mark
We conceive that the conclusion of this treat; is
most important event. It j. the first of u series
OF treaties on the same principles, which will do
more 10 defeat the ntrlgues Of England throughout
Che world, and to compel British interests and Br-
fish diplomacy to keep within their own proper Ii
Ints, than any event which has occurred for long
time II is certainly highly honorable to Mr. Ty-
Ter the President of the United States, and to the
late Mr.. Upshur. to have originated, and thus far
rrumphantly conducted, a movement of this cha
racter The terms OF the treaty are, we think,
good, Notwithstanding the opposition that the Bri-
II, and in spite OF all that may be said in this coun-
try. We think it is a triumph, great triumph and
that it will rebound to the honor of Mr. Tyler's ad-
minstration, whether he be nominated at Balti-
more or not which is matter of little conse-
quence, and, indeed of utter impossbty 1t
opens to the commerce of this country the whole
OF Germany, on better terms than we had reason
to expect. With the facilities that we possess
he itv IF ,c,o
Establishments, we have no doubt that in short time
the whole of Germany will be supplied with cot
ton twist, yarns, and every article of that kind
from this country instead of England. BY this
means it will cut off from England most mpor-
tant branch of her trade and commerce, and with
such prospect there is certainly abundant reason
to provoke all the opposition that the British policy
and agents can put FORTH in order to defeat if pos
sble, this treaty in our Congress.
We trust, hewcver, that nothing will pre- vent tho
immediate confirmation of this treaty. When
sent into the Senate, trust will be at once ra
tilted, and the necessary laws be enacted respect
ing the mutual duties. Probably the next steamer
will bring the treaty out, and if any man deserves
praise on this occasion, think it Is Mr.. Mark -
Tn spite of all the opposition and abuse of the Ger.
man newspapers, instgated by the British agents
he has brought to a conclusion, with great diploma
cy and address, this most important movement in
our commercial policy with foreign countries.
THE New YORK HERALD EsTABLlsmMENT-ITs
ENTERPRISE Extraordinarily pREssEs--Popu.
IARITY AND PowER-We believe it is now admit
ted that no journal this continent was ever con.
Quoted with the enterprise, liberality and power
which marks the career of the Netc York Herald.
During the whole winter and for series Of years,
we have surpassed every other journal in getting
news-running expresses-reporting debates, and
managing every other business connected with a
newspaper useful to all classes. Our last express
from Boston, costing five hundred dollars at sim
gle outlay, was the greatest of all Not single
paper dared enter the field against u.s. We run thai
overland express, with the important news by the
acadia" at our own sole expense. There was in
deed another express run by some cotton brokers
but we beat 1t out Of the field.
Then again with regard to Foreign Corespom
dence. The Herald is the only journal that main
tains foreign correspondents throughout the old ant
the new world, for the purpose of giving the public
here exclusive information when any thing import
ant occurs. Witness the correspondence from Leip
sic, Germany, which we gave yesterday-and tina
from Frankfort given to-day in which are detailed
the particulars of one ofthe most important CONNER
cial treaties ever negotiated by the American gov
eminent. No other paper in this city had this news,
although each will copy it-use it-seal it-plunder
1t, without giving us credit
Now to carry on such a journal-a leading jour
nal like the Herad-with such enterprise and pow
er as WE do, requires extraordinary outlays, but our
patronage and circulation are So vast, that we can
do II with ease, leaving a Surplus mcft Of nearly
$50 900 At the end Of the year We can pay $500
for single express rs we did the last from Bosom
we can pay from so So esI00 fur q single lcuer
or n single piece Of highly mpoulu. eSclusivr news
ON any pat OF the world, aud think ii mere or
binary transaction. Our income from generous
public is so great-so profuse-and increasing
every year, that in a short time will have to
max, such improvements in the newspaper line AS
