The ZorL VEHgrS-ThS German Union
which is fast consolidating, strikes US as mean
ing anv thing but what is favorable TO the in
leres;s CT England, in its ultimate results; as for
example the duties on English cotton and silk
manufactures are greatly increased, while French
productions and all those coming into the league
are admitted at the present duties. This drives
out Manchester goods, from The Belgian market
and had we confirmed the treaty made with the
ZolI Vcrein Union, We should have been in po-
sit;on in few years to have stepped into The
shoes o; England and transacted precisely that
class Of business from which the English are ex
cludcd; but it has appeared 10 US OF late in the
commercial trelaes before the Senate that the
administration negotiating them claimed more
attention aud led 10 more opposition than the
actual merits otthe treaties.
This German Union for commercial and ma
nufacluying interests i, likely 10 last and will last
as long rs peace prevails, for the simple reason,
that il is based upon a reciprocity OF interests
il is fair, honest, liberal exchange OF commodi-
ties, and at once throws off all unnecessary shac-
kles on commerce and restrictions on trade. In
the treaty recently concluded with Belgium, iron

this arrangement loses trade valued at s., 500
