country Surely apology was more required than il
has been olun,eered"-.aibany .argus.
"Apology!' We claim credit for the administra-
ton for doing its duty to the country firmly, prompt
y, and faithfully. The following extract of letter
from one of the most respectable citizens of New
York expresses, we have no doubt, tie true senti-
ment Of the people upon the subject
Everything looks well here for the administra-
tion which, far can learn, is getting strength,
not only here, but all the country; and in the
event of hostilites between Mexico and the United
States, doubt not you will hear one unanimous
shout sent up from the republican host, from one
end Of the land to the other, in support Of the pro-
teclive efforts Of President Polk and his admnistra-
ton. The precautionary steps taken by the Presi-
dent for the defence of the Texian frontier, and the
protection of our commerce in the Gulf of Mexico,
meet with the approval of intelligent men here,

TOBACCO IN eERmANy.-Frsm Bremen paper
we gather the following particulars with regard to
the tobacco trade in the German States composing
the Zoll- Verein
"The League derives from its own culture, an
nualy, 405, 900 cwt. Of tobacco, and imports from
the United States the further quantity Of 235 900
cwt, equal to 324 per cent ofthe whole quantity
supplied by this country to Europe. In the eight
wears between 1884 and 1912, the consumption OF
foreign leaf tobacco had increased 67.6 per cent.
and i was estimated that in few years the quanti-
ty required from the United States would be 450,-
900 cwt. These estimates are made with reference
TO the tobacco required for consumption alone; in
dependenty of which, Germany receives annually
from the United States 4s0 900 cwt. Of leaf tobacco
for manufacture and re-exportntion."

The remarks with which we introduced the val.
uablo memoir, published on Saturday evening, up
on the Zoll-Verein and Hanse Towns, contained an
inadvertent expression, which was calculated to
mislead the reader. 1t was this:
"Admt tobacco alone (say 10000 or 10000
hogsheads more) into the Zol-Verein states, and
into the Hanse Towns, as it is received into Hano-
ver," &c. &C.
The Hanse Towns, as the reader will perceive
by the memorial itself, admits tobacco at the mere
nominal duty of J to per cent. Our expression
ought, therefore, to have been thus: "Admit tobac-
co alone into the Zollverein states, it is received
into the Hanse Towns, or even in Hanover" &c.
