Republic of France TO the United States. First
American, from the Third Paris Edition. Trans
M. D., Surgeon u. s. Navy. Philadelphia !:
Lippincott, Grnmbo & Co. 1851. VOL, Svo
The contents of this volume are concisely ind-
Gated by the translator. "The history Of the Anne
ricnn colonies" he remarks, "the circumstances
which led to their federal Organization-ths pa
tisnce and energy with which they worked out
their national independence, and developed the
vast political association now denominated the
United States-tho industry and ability with
which the people of these States sought to realize
the stupendous agricultural, commercial and in
dustrial resources of their immense continent,
with its fertile territory, it's magnificent rivers,
its inland seas, and its varied climates-their sub
sequent gigantic strides towards the highest pima
ole Of national greatness; in fine, the character Of
the American people themselves, connected to-
gether by vast chain of internal communication,
enjoying, in the highest degree, all tho elements of
material prosperity, and united by common hopes,
common sentiments. common interests, and COM
mon historical associations-may we'll claim the
attention of tho gravest historian, Of the most
lightened statesman, and of every one interested
in the progress of civilization" !.
In the fret part of tho work are traced tho orr
gin Oh Tue IubututIOne anu tho pOAtCdl tcnueuClee
of our countrymen; and in the second exhibited
our military resources and the development Of our
agriculture. commerce, and manufactures.
The writer informs that it his endeavor to
avoid entering into speculntions; but he has not
{ beon wholly successful in this, and we find him
in his rebuke of the prohibirive policy"
he terms what has by others been denominated pro-
lection, and decidedly hopeful Of the advent of a
"course Of human progress" when Irrational dis
tinctons will lose their woned influence" and all
men will consider themselves Gas members of the
great human family" and he maintains that
Commerce is nowhere based on principles of en-
larged reciprocity
We are less hopeful of the social millennium dis
cerned by our author in the early future; yet.
while he is looking forward to it, we can with none
the less zest enjoy the portrait he has made of
country. He has condensed into brief space a
most useful and instructive work, to which every
reader may often refer with pleasure and with
profit. For sale by Taylor and Maury. ~

RAILROAD SpRcuLATIoN.-The writer Of the mo.
ney articles in the New York Express, in that paper
of the Sd instant, Gays:
1--WE are preparing ourselves to run the same
career in railroad speculations that pervaded Eng
land few years since, and led to such disastrous
extremes and locked up for long period the whole
active capital of the United Kingdom
"Applications for new railroads being made
to every Legislature in tho Union, and million upon
million of railroad bonds are prepared for sale aud
abucdnncc Of capital has hitherto made them easy
of negotiation. Seeing this ready facility Of bor-
rowing money, every State in the Union is prepar-
ing to mako us a Welt for a similar purpose, and
over forty millions Of dollars in transitu for
conversion into money to GARY out the great and
magnificent proi0OA Of improvement and internal
transit communications. California gold has sud
denly walked up the young Hercules Of the West,
and the fertile soil and inexhaustible resources OF
that extensive region being prepared to bring
Der agricultural products for transit
to the Atlantic border.
q The iron horse will take back, in exchange for
these products Of labor, the comforts and luxuries
of European manufactures, and we again to
experience from these periodical manifestations Of
an highly excited prosperity, the distress and dis
asters invariably concomisant on season OF wide
expansion and wide speculations.
q The we'll established success that has attended
many railroad enterprises, and in truth the gene
raj run of them, ndded TO the immense collatera
benefits they confer upon all parties conspire e
fan the growing excitement. The too rapid mul
DUPLICATION OF these works will probably prevent
sufficient income by over competition, and the alb
sorption Of such a large amount of floating capita
Invested from the regular channels of business
and the want Of adequate revenue, may depreciat'
railroad stocks and bonds, and cause immens
losses TO those who engage in the speculatons"
The money writer of the New York Journal Q
Commscs Of Same date remarks: fG
The capitalists Of England are looking on wit
some anxiety at the large quantities of bonds nov
selling in this market, and compa ring this move
mcnt with the state Of their own excited mar Ike
previous to the crash among railroad SPECTATORS.
