by that worthy gentleman and the Merch
ants and Mechanics Exchange of this city,
are about to bring forth good fruit, and as it
happens, in good time. We are to have

lapse into our present state of abject Deepen

man stand by the good work and give a
helping hand:
PARIS, Oct. 10, 1859.
KADER BIdas, ESQ.,, President of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Exchange, Norfolk.
Dear Sir Il wrote you by the last mail
that the compton of Norfolk was definitely
organized by the course of influential and
we'll considered men under the firm of Az
card, De Guyon u Co. Its location ia pro-
visionally in the populous centre of bust
ness.
The cargo of the vessel which is going to
leave st. Nazaire for Norfolk is in active
preparation, and my next letter will inform
you precisely of the time it will sail.
We have been subjected to long delays in
consequence of difficulties of every kind, YOU
cannot have any idea of the obstacles opposed
by routine, and what is called established
courants. 1t has been necessary to struggle
with courage and perseverance to overcome
them. The Press gave us Its aid. | send
you to-day newspaper of st. Quentin, one
of our great manufacturing centres, which
has warmly sustained our project also
forward you pamphlet published in Bel
GUM by one of the members of the commit
tee which was formed at Brussels to estab-
lish commercial relations with the South,
and a copy of the letter ! received from the
author oft. set myself in direct relations
with the committee Of Brussels and goods
suiting the wants and tastes of each nation
will be sent from both countries.
have, then, reason to hope, Mr. President,
that my efforts will be successful, and that
Norfolk will wake up from its lethargy. You
will have contributed in great degree to that
result, and the South will owe to you a large
share OF its success.
l now make ready to return to Virginia so
as to unite my efforts with yours and create at
Norfolk the compton which viii be the cor
respondent and complement of that OF Paris.
Please accept, Mr.. President, the assurance
of my entire devotion.
