NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.
PARrs, MAY 26, 1851.

PARIS, MAY 90, 1851.
have Just had the pleasure OF perusing letter,
dated only day before Yesterday, in which M LOUIS
RurrEr. actual Minister of Agriculture and Com
merce, speaks in the most gratifying and compli-
mentary terms of the series OF American weights
and Measures and of the two Balances which this
Government has recently received from ours, IN
prosecution of M. VATTEMAREs scneme Oh inter-
national exchange. The Minister speaks OF the
collection as one of the most beautiful and most
important to be found in the assemblage Of proto-
tupes which has been established at the I" Conser-
ya,ory Of Arts and Trades" in Paris. But it is
not by pretty words only that the American pre-
sent IS to be acknowledged by this Government.
With liberality measured less, must think, by
the value and importance of our offering, than by
the idea of the French Government of what is due
to ITSELF and by its high appreciation of the patriotic
and phlanthropic project in prosecution of which
the present is made, this Government will soon
send to Washington, probably through the agency
OF M. Vattemare, French collection, to which,
without any danger Of misapplication, the compli-
ments which the Minister pays to ours, and ten
times more, may be addressed. The French col
lection will embrace:
Ist One of the collections constructed by the
late M. GAMBEY, Member of the institute, consist
ing of the three unities of the nefricdt system OF
heights and measures, viz. the metre, the itre,
the kilogramme.
ID. The series Of the instruments for weighing
and measuring which habitually compose in France
bureau of verfcation.
Sd. An atlas Of French weights and measures.
4th. A volume containing the law prescribing the
metrcal system for general use in this country, as
also the performances and public instructions intend
ed to ensure the execution of the law.
| give below the number and kind of instruments
which, in this country compose what is called a
Bureau of Notification of Weights and Measures,
and which will therefore be included in the series
forming the second of the above items. They are
as follows:
MEASURES LENGTH.
brass standard metre, in its box ..
wooden metre, of one piece.
double-decimetre, of lockwood.
A chain decametre, Of iron, with its 10 stakes.
1t may the memory observe here that in the French
rnetrical nomenclature the for multiplying derived
from the Greek, and those for dvg from the Latin Thus

Necessaire of the ver6er
You see from the above list that the proper
Office in Washington will soon be enriched with a
complete series Of French weights and measures.
1t will without doubt be properly estimated, and be-
come the ornament and crown Of the collection
among which it may be placed. Let me express
the wish, with but little expectation, however, that
shall live to see it realized that our statesmen and
legislators having thus constantly before their eyes
the various instruments composing this convenient
and beautiful thisony simple, certain, and scientific
system Of weights and measures, the etrical system
of France, will become suitably impressed with its
value with its superiority all others now used
among nations, and will finally substitute it in place
of our own arbitrary, complicated, and discordant
system and prepare the way for its universal adop
ton by all civilized nations. trust that the COM
mission which perceive has been formed in Lon
don to sit during the Worlds Exhibition, and de-
liberae upon the practcabty Of establishing unity
of weights measures, and money among all civilized
nations, will not be without effect in ripenng the
universal public mind for this great amelioration
Invent, if the thing be possible, which am in
clined to doubt. better system; but, until that
better be invented, let national anpathies and the
suggestions of national vanity be silent in presence
of great good to be attained, be slled by an in
telligent comprehension Of our own and the worlds
true interests let the admirable n,etrical system Of
France be universally adopted, and let France have
the glory. 4t
