BY last nights mail, we received another
Letter, by the Canada, from Professor TuoMp-
son, which it affords us pleasure to lay bc'orc
our readers. 1t was written in Paris, where, it
will be sccn our excellent townsman was,
through the kind attention of VI. NArrrNARE,
enabled to visit the most interesting and note
worthy public institutions.
We are especially gratiied with the proof
in which NJ. NArrEMARE is held by the citi-
zcns, Sqruns, and Public Authorities, in Paris
A few extremely sagacious people in this coun-
try have most unwarrantaby and ungencrous!y
questioned both the authority and the motives
of NJ. NATTEMARE, in reference to his great
and noble project of international Exchanges
and international Good Will; and it affords
us the highest satisfaction to find, on such in
disputablc testimony, that he is what we have
Always upheld him to be, the noble, generous.
self-sacrticIng, Originator and Fnlsher of one
of the most efficient and practical Agencies for
the promotion of peace, harmony and mutual
respect among Nations, that the wisdom of
man could devise. We particularly rcj ice
that, in Vermont VI. NArrEMARE never re-
ceved anything but kindness and co operation.
1t will be seen that, through the forcthought
of Professor THOMPSON, (who is always doing
good and the efficient Interference of NJ
VArrEMARE, (who will go down to postcrity
as great public bcnctactor) the Library of our
own University is to be enriched by valuable
contributions to its interest and usefulness from
the French Republic.
The following is Prof THoMpsoN's Letter
