FRAscK.-The Imports and exports Of France
for the year 1857 amounted in the aggregate to ten
hundred and sixty Eve millions Of dollars. In
19i7, ten years ago. under the government of Louis
Philippe, they amounted only to four hundred
aud sixty-sight millions. The increase has been
i've hundred and ninety. seven millions, or one
hundred and twenty-eight per cent. The in
crease In population has been small The advance
made by France is perfectly astonishing. Her
foreign trade has quadrupled in the ten years of
Napoleon's reign. During the seventeen year of
Louis PhiliPpe's reign it only trebled French
commerce, which a few years ago was far behind
ours, now considerably exceeds it in value Our
foreign imports and exports in ls57 were only
eight hundred and twenty three millions Of dol
lars. This French precedence Of us, after we
had long ranked next to treat Britain in trade,
Is not very fatterins to our national pride. Her
commerce, however, is carried on largely In
foreign ships. The tonnage Of the United States
