FOREIGN INVESTMENTS IN THE UNITED STATEs.-A
writer who has had access to the books Of the Sub
Treasury in New York, where tie interest on about
seven-eighths of the public debt of the United
States is paid, says:
These books a curious study. Many of the
names they contain are household words. Some
are the names of Europeans; others of West lndi
ans, and even Asatcs. Barely Il third of the pub
lie debt is held in this country The bulk of it,
imagine, is held in Continental Europe. One is not
surprised to find the names of ohm j. Astor, VIM
b. Astor, Jacob Little, George Peabody and such
in the list of the creditors of the United States
but they and their countrymen are in a minority.
The heaviest foreign creditor noticed is Lord
0verstOne, (the famous John Lloyd who has lent
this country less than SS500O0. Spanish
lady, Merced de Laseca, is IT creditor the
of $500 000, and noble friend of hers, the Count
Casa Montlovoy Castillo draws six per cent. on
100000. Several persons connected with the roy
al families of Europe creditors of ours. The
brother of the King of Naples took $4,000 some
years ago, and instructed his agent to invest the
dividends as they accrued in the same security
He now owns over SIS 600. His niece, the daugh-
ter of BOmba is registered as a creditor for
S50,000. These wise people have been looking out
for a rainy day. Another noble parsonage, the late
Duchess of Orleans, has enough in the United
State skies to save the Count Of Paris from being
compelled to follow his grandfathers example and
keep school. Several of the Sake Coburg Gothas
have also invested in the same country.
The Count Rossi saw enough of this country
while he here, to invest few thousands in the
famous name of Sontag and little Paul Julien has
trihe-enough to keep him when mis- violin fails
One can readily account for the appea: ance of the
name of the Rothschilds, both of London and Paris
but it is curious that the famous publisher, Pan
chonke, of Paris, is creditor of the United States
and that the dramatic author Scribe, has also in
vested enough to give him nearly l0,O00 francs a
| year. A careful study of Democracy in America
appears to have persuaded Monsieur TocqueVille to
lodge some of his savings in the hands of our Gov
ernment; and Lord Macauay, who began with a
bagatelle of some S., 600, has since increased his
venture to nearly $4,000.
But we shall never end if we attempt to enume-
rate all the people who have their money placed in
the United States securities. Here are Lord Dun
donald, the great sailor, who has large sum for a
! son Of Neptune; the Prince de Bauven, the COHnt
| Champagne, Barring Brothers. Count de Beaumont,
General Bermolot1, and host of titled people, who
perhaps, depend upon the honesty and solvency of
! the United States for living.
| Lord Elgin enough of US to leave SIT 900 of
his savings in our six per cents; and the famous
| Russian Alexandra Herzen, has bagatee of $780,
900 in the same security. There is another creditor
whose name is curiosity. 1t runs thus Baron
Louis Numa Epaminondas Justinian Arisdes De
! cius Sails Haldenstein Liechensten Gortenstein.-
Fancy a man with such a name drawing twenty six
dollars and fifty cents from the United States
The anniversary Of the evacuation of New York
by the British army in l7S3, was celebrated on Fri
day in that city, with much spirit. The FIRST Di
vision, N. Y. S. NJ, paraded, was reviewed by Gov
| Morgan, marched in procession to the farK, anc
rendered the Governor and the Mayor the honor o
marching salute In the morning the Mayor, II
pehait OF the City, presented the Fitty-hfth hegl
ment with an elegant stand of colors, and in th'
afternoon Gen. Paez sgnitied his gratitude to thu
City Guard Tor the kind attention which it showed
him on his departure for Venezuela some months
since, by bestowing upon the Company beautiful
flag.
