AMERICA TRADING WITH TARTARY.-The Ameri-

their produce; ana while Europe is yet ignorant
North, the Asiatic Mississippi opened up in River
Amoor to the commerce of the world, the Yankee
merchants and shippers have landed considerable
cargoes Of sugar at the port of Nicoajaw, at the
mouth of that stream, which Russian steamers
have conveyed at once up into the very heart of
Tartary, and the interior of the Muscovite empire

porium the Central Asiatics for the purchase
of that merchandise, the value of which has fallen
