eufity fof its feus steam i,.gstss. which money
will be kept Til new arrangements ATE made,
have been expended in this enterprise,
In this state of affairs, the company tierout
and de Handel, are obliged to stop any further
trips to New York but the line between France
and the United States is not given up, on the
contrary, it will resume early next spring. NJ.
M. Heroult and de Handel, have petitioned the
government, demanding, with justice, to be re-
warded for their first efforts, with the granting
the continuation of the enterprise. Accordingly,
the French government will re-arrange the line,
and pay M. M. H. and de II. a certain sum per
annum, in addition to the use of the steamers.
This would be but Justice, and we hope it will be
done. Several commercial houses in Havre,
have, also, petitioned to obtain the concession to
the transatlantic company. We shall mention M.
M. Cor, Palm s, Co, associated with many other
rich merchants, who offer full guaranty to the
government.
The four French steamers would, ii was said,
go Immediately into the docks, and be thoroughly
repaired; new cabins, new arrangements, will be
made and beside all this, new furnaces will be
put in, in order to give each steamer a strength
of 600 horse power, instead Of $50, which they
now have. The engines want no other additional
force, for they are strongly cast, and able to give
any impulsion required by the steam. The per-
sonei of the steamers will be also improved and
it is understood In Havre, that new agency
will be opened here, or rather, the steamers will
be sent to an American consignee. This will be
quite an improvement, and will attract numerous
patrons. to the French steamships.
We hope NJ M. Heroult, and de Handel will
obtain the claim they have presented to the
French ministry, and resume new campaign,
more profitable to them than the first. If the
misfortunes Of the first turn out to be good
lesson Tor the future, perhaps nothing is lost but
the two millions offrancs. M NJ H. and de H.
are very worthy men they have tact and enter
prise, and deserve success; they have had too
much to contend against in the organ zaton of
their line of steamers.
