passage of sixteen days She left that port on
the 22d ult.
She came up the bay in the afternoon between
5 and O'clock, in beautiful style, and fired the
national salute when near the city. She was
cheered by the passengers and crews of the va
rous vessels which she passed.
The Union has black hull and three masts,
and appears very much like the Great Western.
She moves handsomely, and came up the bay
with good speed, and took her place at the Great
Westerns dock In the East River.
The impression made by the new conner as
she entered the harbor was decidedly favorable,
and the officers and passengers seemed greatly
pleased with all that they saw and heard. Thus
the new era in our commercial relations with
La Belle France may be said to have fairly ar
rived, and hereafterwe are to look for the French
steamers as regularly as for the English mail
! packets.
| This new line of steamers is composed of the
following ships, each of four hundred and fifty
horse power:-
Pn1S1; Missouri Miw s9iA
The second steamer of this line, the Philadel-
| phia was at Cherbourg.
| The intelligence brought by the Union is of
very little Importance.
| We are indebted to Mr.. Wm G. Hersey for
late English, and to DR.. ID. l.. Nee for late
French papers.
The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on the
18th ut., with the bill destined to prolong the
law passed last February, for the free entry, un-
der all flags, of foreign grain. This law, it
originally stood, would have expired on the 3lst
October, reserving to the ministry the power of
prolonging it by an ordinance, if this term should
seem insufficient.
The Chamber of Commerce of Strasbourg has
just received advice from Mayence that the pro-
position of the French Commissary to transport
grain, -four, and dry vegetables free of the
Rhine river duty, has been accepted by all the
river governments, Professionally until the LIST of
September next.

The Greco Turkish difficulty is terminated by
the submission of Greece to the conditions I'M
posed by Turkey.
The French Chamber of Peers, at the COM
mencement of its session, on the 18th of June,

| The Belgian journals announce that King Leo
pold will leave for London on the 2lst or 22d of

The harvests in France promise an abundant
yield.
| 1t is with pleasure that we announce the re-
ceipt OF the first series of our correspondence
from the continent of Europe. AS the day of
the departure of the French steamer will in flu
ture be regular, our dispatches will hereafter be
written up to the latest moment
