FRANCE.

M. Theirs has paid an eloquent tribute
TO the energy, growing importance and ev-
ldont destiny OF the U. States. alt is (said
hey ] mus, confess, the first time ever
heard thi. equilibrium spoken Of" referring
TO the doctrine Of the balance OF power on
the American continent. The following
views OF M. Theirs show that he is looking
forward to an important change in the po-
li!cal affairs Of France and Europe:
He saw in the progress OF the American
Union, another step towards the political
freedom of the French. When France be-
came the representative Of liberty in the
old world, then there was formed around
her q general conccr, which impeded, and
still impedes her freedom. He did not per!
GIVE war a, The bottom Of that compact
tut he maintained that there was among
the European powers, and against France;
"A tact accord which constrained her, and
was injurious to her. In proof Of this, he
referred to the disregard which was shown
towards her when she sought to arouse Aus
tria 10 the necessity OF resisting Russian en-
croachments. In proportion as Francs
and England came together, he said, there
arose on the part of the latter, a jealousy
OF the former. which caused a great con-
st-aint upon the policy Of France, and was
highly injurious to her interests. Two
causes he said, might remove this con-
strain, the first. the Development Of liberty
in Europe the second, the augmentation
of tie porer Of the United States. The
proof OF this he found in the fact, that il
within the last two years, England had
shown a more yielding policy towards
France, it had been in consequence Of the
uneasiness with which the power Of Amer.
lea had inspired her.
THE TELEGRAPH.-Many people en- err
tain queer notions about The operation Of
the Telegraph. Ned Credulous-you all
know Ned-is one OF the number. He
was found on Saturday leaning against one
of tie Telegraph posts in Montgomery
street, inten!ly watching the wires. An
acquaintance overhauIed him, after he had
stood there until he was half frozen, and
the following conversation ensued.
7om--HaIIo! Ned. What on air,h are

I CULTIVATION OF Within the
last few months, several gentlemen, in the
southern section Of our State, have given
some attention 10 the cultivation Of tobac-
co, and we are pleased to learn that the ex-
perimenls tina, have been made, have So re-
suited as to warrant the most sanguine ex-
pectations as 10 the entire success. Of the en-
terprise. Indeed j! promises TO become the
most profitable business 10 which agrcul,u.
raj industry can be directed, and we appre-
hend, a, no distant day, will figure largely
in the regular exports from this city. We
notice tina, public attention has been turned
10 the same enterprise in our neighboring
State OF Florida, and with what success,
may be inferred from the TACT that the sta.
tis,cs OF tobacco now figure as regular
~ in the commercial reports at Apalachico-
Ia as do those Of cotton and next 10 tina,
'orms the chief article Of export. These
facts, we think, should Il, Icas, induce q
more thorough investigation Of the subject;
and if the cultivation Of tobacco can be
made as profitable as many suppose, this
branch OF agricultural enterprise may one
day exert an important influence upon the
prosperity Of our Siate.-Nobl A IL.
