The Union contains a letter from Marseilles,
which unless we are greatly deceived, IS rom
former resident of Richmond, now sojournng IN
the Sourh of France. He is here so well known
and beloved for his fine qualities, that his im-
pressions of foreign scenes cannot prove uhinle-
resting 10 our readers. II will be seen, 'ha' 'ic

in lis foreign relations, has met %Iih respect
abroad and has secured for this country name
among the nations OF the earth, tar from incohsi-
derable lis domestic policy is not yet developed

avowal OF sound principles, fruitful in good TO
onr affairs al home, and destined to have mighty
influence upon Inc peace OF the world. The

Here's the

In Foreign Government you cannot imagine
how high nv pulse beats 10 see (and hear tool The
energy Of the Government on the Mexican ques-
lion. The President is gaining golden opinions
here, BY his prompt and decisive action in order
ing an efficient squadron to the Mexican Gull,
and troops TO The frontiers of Texas.
The French people wonder at this; but tell
them the President has The nerve, and the nation
with him; and that hmself and ministers will be
,riumphantly sustained both in and on, Of Con-
sress. The "signs of the times" rely upon it as
well as their tone and temper, evinced by some
jealousy OF the French Minister, show an in
creasing respect for US as great, powerful, and
growing nation. congratulate you on your po-
silion. You have difficult part 10 play, but
feel that YOU will sustain the interests OF your
country in every emergency.
| want language 10 tell YOU how, alter SIX
months residence abroad, love my great coun-
try, my whole country, her laws, her Institutions
her people, and her public officers of my own
faith and my own principles.
The Plymouth and Cumberland have both been
here. They are absolutely renowned in this sea.
The former visited and she came fully up 10 The
encomiums had heard bestowed upon her. In
like sloops .ot-war according TO my IDEAS, Der bat
terry is not on the upper deck; il Che upper being
called the spar-deck; consequently her men ana
guns are protected from the weather, giving her
a, all times an efficient as we'll as beautiful APP
nearance. She was built at Boston; and like
everything from the "cradle Of our ndepend-
ence," bears The impress OF Yankee skill and in
genui,y.
Ii is hardly necessary TO say, that the officers
OF both ships are an honor 10 their country-tIom
The "old commodore" 10 The youngest "middy,"
it is admitted By all whom have heard speak
and have seen many Engishmen that them
selves and their ships would reject credit npon
any service.
And now, if may descend from great things to
small, may remark that Marscilles is rather an
expensive place. lam housekeeping IS, sort
of-and speak undersandinsly. You shall judge.
Bacon 25 cents per h., beef 10 cents; mutton,
~ cents; chickens, 40 60 each; turkeys, about
as large as hen, 81; salt. cts. per h.; coffee
(ground) 80 cents, eggs, Is cents. Their yege'a'
bes are no better than ours, though much higher.
The fruits are generally fine, except melons,
which will not compare with ours, and are much
higher than with us. Marselles boasts OF being
"mstress OF The Mediterranean" before the birth
OF our Saviour; yet she has no splendid public
building or monument Of art (save 4 lriumphal
arch ofmodern limes) within her borders. She
is purely commercial city.
