object OF these meetings was To extend the knowledge OF

well as TO afford TO friends who cane from America and tho
continent OF Europe the opportunity to express hose senti-

Considerable discussion has taken place in the French
journals relative TO the recent alterations in the Ame-
riean Tariff. Tho "Consnmuonel' thinks the Tariff
auu too high, and enfurccs on the American GOycfnmont
the necessity Of establishing Docks and Entire pots"
Apart from the newspapers the general opinion is that
the changes in the United States tariff are a direct and
solemn sanction Of the principle Of freeuudc. and that they
will be beneficial rather than fnJrdieial TO France, or, at
all events, will leave Its commerce unaffected. Still il Is
undoubted that n very general impression prevails in politi-
cal and mercantile circles, that the United States have no;
treated France 50 generously as they ought to have done,
considering the facilities IL has afforded their trade. As TO
the insnuauon OF the Presse that tho States ought to favor
France. because France allows her importauons 10 be
made IN American vessels, it Is all humbug; for every body
knows that France has no merchant marine with which TO
make them. aud that therefore the Americans owe her no.
thing on that score.
The Journal des DebstI. the grca, organ Of the Govern
ment, has al length designed TO notice the proceedings Of
tho United States relative To Mexico. What il says is We
~ vague and unsatisfactory; butts still hinged with thar III
feeling towards America which this Important Journal so
frequently manifested during the discussion on the Oregon
question.
A Mr. NORM, Frenehman. is trying to &C, up a eompa-

dirt cheap. Some time ago a company was started here
for colInizins lands IN some other part Of the United States,
but the thing did not take at all. The French have no taste
for emigration.
VI. Maugain, a well-known parsonage in this country, has
undertaken TO proceed To The United States, to sustain
the pretensions Of the family OF the late Etonne Girard 10
some part Of the vast fortune which he so generously bes-
lowed upon his adopted country to the exclusion Of his own
relatives.
Recent letters from the coast Of Africa. mention the sci.
zure OF a vessel with 26O slaves destined for Brazil. and
state that there is every prospect that in time, by the com.
bIned co operations OF the English and French squadron,
the slave trade viii be entirely put down.
IL appears that the harvest in the eastern Department.
not quite so good as had been expected. There Is a de-
heieney in the wheat and the barley and oats have entire.
ly failed. There has consequently been an advance ia the
price of bread, with every prospect OF a further advance in
the course Of The winter. This has caused general dissa-
ti'facnon among the people. and in several towns has led
10 disturbances. The potato crop is also found 20 be very
diseased, although It had been believed until now that IT
had entirely escaped.
