late American Cuns,il to Genoa in reply TO que

therein:
Nav YoRK, Sep. 10, lSi5
Horace Gr5ricy, Esq.
DEAR SW Having during the last few
weeks received good many letters from dill,
ercnt paris of the country, soliciting inluuna-
ton IN regard to a great variety of matters
connected with italy aud travelling abroad, ! |
have been Obliged to select this mode of reply, !
as M engagements render it impossible to
reply to each correspondent scpCrately, and | !
will perhaps alspser some other individuals
who contemplate going abroad, by some gene
raj hints on the subject.
My time Is chopped up into fragments aud
must seize moment when can for this
purposc-ior tits a matter of too much impor-
taucc to be passed over lightly. On the pre-
sent system, much money is wasted time lost
pleasure and convenience sacrificed by our
couutrymen who visit Europe.
/. What IS necessary before Stdrting?-The
two great things are French and nionov In
this appeal To all travellers. The man who
cannot talk French will be cheated everywhere
and 10y every body-he will DC shut out from
society, and consequently lose nearly all the
advantages and qualification of visiting foreign
comtrles-or II he enters society he will be
subject to a thousand notifications best
known 20 himself. \ lady in such circum-
stances becomes IcdH ,folCer-she is asked To
dance-shc can make 40 reply--at most SAYS
II cant speak French" with pr0nuRci diiOn
which confirms her declaration i'm the most
impressive manner. II gentlemen. every
body speaks to him and che looks unuttcrable
things aud is mum" But this matter ought
to b, apparent enough without any Illusion
Tor The habit OF talking has become so general
among mankind. it saves us a good deal of in
convenience TO fall into the custom.
Don't crptct TO learn French al sea--A
ship Is bad school at house best. and if Won
should happen TO be sea sick the whole passage,
mo uncommon thing you will be more apt to
forget your English than learn French The
pest and only wayl know is to get lining
fFt"chWdH Tor master some six months b.
lore you start, and French will never give any
more trouble. The tooth is out aud 1t can ache
no more.
Dontgo abroad ibithoH taking lriih uou q
PieRiy o. m0hcy.-A single man must have a
thousand dollars Il year in Europe, while
| travelling, with the most rigid economy-say-
ing nothing oil dress, or purchases OF any des-
crpton;-two thousand is more convenient
and even double the sum would only make the
road smoother.
Don't carry iDith you much clothing. except
linens and flannel Tor the sea. ANY where in
Europe YOU can buy clothing cheaper than at
/ home
! Don't take Scr0aHts NTH you.-They are
always slcker than other people at sea- You
pay Tor their passage twice-and when YOU
| get them you have To get others 10 take care
oil them. An extra ten dollars TO the maid or
steward will secure you all the extra service
| you wish AT sea.
Hake proPer arrangements for your cor.
reSpoHdcRcc, and let these arrangements he
made through Mcssrs. llarndcns Express. |
hehtlon these gentlemen because have had
occasion TO be greatly obliged to them for
iheIr courtesy, their integrity, their uniailing
accuracy and despatch. Europe | never
los' letter, paper or parcel entrusted to their
hands, and found il the only sure Medium of
communication. They are the last men To
leave the steamers and the first TO board them.
Tell your friends To write on their French
paper, and send their letters to Hamden at
New iork, and you save mint of postage
ana no little inconvenience and perplexitv
ana writing In this way you can generally
tell within n or Is hours when YOU or your
friends will get your letters in any part Of
America or Europe
lnEuropc yourBankers will generally charge
you heavy commissions on any letter tina
passes through their hands.
The Talonis of Rome give large SOiriees, a.
our travellers know. All their correspondent.
are invited, and promise you the ice cream
you eat, or the Roman punch, will cost you
about five and twenty times as much as it doe.
the PrincC-ior Taloni is Prince. He be.
came such by getting the monopoly Of Tobac
co from thePope and shaving his correspondents
IL deserves no better name, for after getting d
commission ON your funds why charge you
9oliaf Tor any letter that passes through hi,
hahdT! But my time is up to day. In my
next I'll send you to sea. TRULY yours. IN
haste. C.. EDWARDS i, ES'TER
