Am sorry that corresponding date in reference
to the emigration from Germany ara not 40 haad.
That this branch Of European emigration. too, has
fallen of considerably, is known, bat the particu-

In the mean time the decree ofthe Austrian Gov
eminent, regulating the settlement of emlgrants -
Hungary, Croatia, Ssvonia, Austrian ServiA The
Bsnat and Transylya, has appeared in No. 29W 81
the Htcasr /ifuRg. Thus the trial is msde--with
what degree Of success remains to be seen-to turu
the stream of German emigration from q west ward
into AT eastward direction. II is difiloait
enterprise, and | cannot say that those VIE
have elaborated the complicated regulations pub
lshed in the olicis Austrian paper have been very
happy in their efforts. Emigration and ccoaiEs-
ton, more than any other process of history can
only be favored BY giving il tirst start and drco-
ton and then by removing any impeachment ~ indS-
yidual action and liberty. How, then, can tho
Austrian Government ever hope 10 succeed in its
eudeavors of drawing emierants from Germany eS
its eastern dominons by such regulations as the,
that only persons of the same religious denomina-
ton are allowed to form village This is suh-
cent Ia show YOU that the eastern dominlons Of
Austria though they contain extensive tracts OF IN
occupied and uncutiyated land capable Of nourisA-
ing millions of industrious people will not become
SO soon a rival of the United States in attracting
emigrants from Germany, at least not so long a.
their power of attraction IL left Ia work by itseh
The Germsn Diet, however, Ia earnestly occupied
in preparing restrictions to emigration, aud il
might thus occur that, while the way is opened
toward the east il might be INSTRUCTED toward
the west and an effect might be produced by tho
combination of the two operations Be this, how
ever as II may, certain It is that those emigraa0
who DO not object against submitting to comph-
Gated regulations like those of which have gives
an instance would never have been the right kind Of
people for the United States. They must be sup
posed to have neither that taste that talent Of
self government which is one OF the first conditions
Of the possibility of becoming useful inhabltant
and good citizen OF the United States. Thus, tho
Austrian movement will have little influence upon
the interests of the United States in matters Of emi-
grafton.
The ease NAV be come different one with refer
ence 10 the efforts made to direct German cmi-
grants 10 South America. When wrote my loe-
ter Of the Eth ult. was not informed Of the faot
that the Republic of Ecuador has disposed OF four
and half millions of acres OF public lands In
favor of the creditors of the republic, who have
Just now formed company here for the purpose OF
making their possessions valuable by various meanss
among which emigration, undoubtedly, will stand
foremost An English engineer has been sent TO thns
country where he has spent almost two years IN
selecting the lands, which have been taken up IN
five different completes, two Of them being STU
ated the coast and containing the excellent sea-
port of p~ag,' and tho roh disi~i"t &c Rsmsradss-
one being situated on the western and the remain
ing two on the eastern slope of the Andes. An
expedition composed OF an engineer, mer-
camille and several scientific geDtemeDt is pro-
jected by the company and will leave here carly
in the Spring. for more detailed exploration Of
the natural advantages of those lands for which
the Company in case of disposal, shall pay in Eu-
eadorian bonds at par. As far as | could learn the
natural conditions we'll AS those which the Com
pany intends 10 make to emigrants are very favor
able and liberal. Several years, however, viii
elapse before the enterprise will be- developed 70
maturity and TO the beginning Of practical result
In the mean time, you know that the war with
Peru against Ecuador is connected with this affair,
Peru protesting against the fact Of Eucador dis
posing of the lands in question in favor Of foreign
immigration. This, however, is a side Of tho
matter TO which you are nearer than am, and thus
may discontine my remarks. JULIUS FRoEBEL-
