THE FRENCH STEAMERS. "A letter in
the Boston Journal, written at Paris, on the
10th of May, contains the following state.
ment respecting the French line Of steam
vessels;
.afhe French steamers commence run
ming on the slst of May. Tho Missouri
is the first boat. They have changed their
French for A neriean names, and are called
the Missouri, New York, Philadelphia, ;
and the Union They are to run every
fortnight. II will prove runous affair to
the company. They are tho !siO boats.
and consequently have not tho improve.
ments which have been made since
then. The government lends the compa.
ny the boats lor ten years-lhe company
are to keep them insured and are 10 pay
for repairs. Now according 10 the CunArd
contract, Tue English government pays
fs0,000 year for the five boals-say
100000 frances per boat, which for ten
years would amount 10 iour millions for
each hnal, and the cost ol their boats does
not average, | believe, over EsO0 900 each,
Il as muehi consequently the Cuuard con.
tract Is better by 2,000,00O flames, for
the ten years, say 200,n0O francs year
per boat, lhan the French contract. Bc
SIDES, these comparatively old French boats
have to eoma into competition with the
splendid ,mefiean aud English boats,
which will have the benefit ol every
improvement that ha. been made since
lsi0. However, We shall soon see how
