Exploration Of the Anaoor Riper 6y an
-1n'crican.-Mr. Collins, the American Con-
sui OF The Amoor river, recently obtained
permission of the Government to explore it,
and he has sent to the Government at
Washington the result of his observations.
Mr.. Collins states that tile whole of this
river, for distance of two thousand six
hundred miles, is susceptible Of steam nav
igation, and the country drained by the
Amoor has population Of about FIVE mil
lions. There are already four vessels trad
ing from the San Francisco 10 the Amoor,
two from Boston, and two from Hong
kong-the latter being owned by Ameri.
can houses. The Russian government. is
rapidly extending its dominions in the
Amoor country, and the last year two iron
steamers, built in Philadelphia for the Rus
slams, were shipped arounl Cape Horn and
put up at the mouth of the Amoor, for the
purpose Of trade and exploration. Mr.. Col
lins states that the Russian government de-
slrcs that the Americans should have all the
advantages of the great trade Of this new
country, and hold out every inducencnt for
that purpose. After reaching the mouth of
the Amoor, the theatre Of his consulsllip,
he thought be had discovered so many facts
of great Importance to the commerce of the
United States that he determined to return
Immediately and report to his government.
The report which lie has made to the Sec
retary of State occupies some $50 pages of
closely written manuscript, and is con-
densed account Of the country in the yicin-
ity OF the navlgable waters of the Amoor,
lis population, trade, products, &C., as we'll

commerce which our people may export
