SIR r. PEEL's COMMERCIAL MEAsUREs.-The In
habiiants of the of Elbing (Prussa) have sent
the following letter to Sir Robert Peel: Measures
which aim at the happiness of a nation belong TO all
nations; the triumph of intelligence in people in
sures the advancement of the interests of humanity
in all. A statesman worthy Of the name is the man
of all countries. England owes your administra-
ton three great reforms, relating to taxation, bank
ing establishments, and the tariffs The establish
ment of the income tax proclaimed this axiom-that
taxation ought to fall on men who are in possession
of property, and not on the means of acquiring it.
The bill relating to banking has put end to the de-
ceitul fuctuation of the value Of money, regulated
the circulation of paper money, and brought a re-
medy to the crisis with which the commercial
world found itself at each moment menaced. 1t has
given, it were, invitation to government to
profit by your example, for the purpose of endowing
our country with wiser legislation, and more in
conformity with our wants. The reform of the tariffs
inaugurates in Europe the of commercial liberty
Nations, in following the impulse which you have
just given will draw closer to each other, the cit
zens of one and the same country. Their interests
will be more and more commingled, and will const-
tute many guarantees of peace. The statesmen
who govern Prussia, if they have not preceded you
ready to follow you in the path you have chosen.
We hail with delight the measure which admits corn
free into England; and it is not our interest alone
which prompts to say for convinced tn
this measure will be profitable to the English people.
Your name will pass to posterty loaded with bless
ings."
