European politics are growing brighter. The

Louis Napoleon has fatty refused to interfere, and
he will keep his word. But the most important

revolution in the manufactures industrial pursuits

mercial readers see the new prospects Of great
foreign trade with France. The Emperor recon-
mends the suppression Of all restrictions" that
weigh on the industrial pursuits of France, the
abolition Of the duty on wool, cotton and other
raw materials, an exchange Of products by the en-
couragement Of foreign trade, loans Of money to
agriculture and industry, clearing Of fertile plains
and the planting of hills, and, in short, the In
auguration Of an enlarged and enlightened
public and commercial policy. We shall, no doubt,
soon see the establishment Of line Of first class
mail steamers, or more than one, between France
and America. This new policy of the Emperor's
has real interest for Americans, in both polti-
cal and commercial sense, and II carried out ac-

We are all agog. The Emperor Napoleon's letter

produceda state Of great agitation and excitement
when all at once the English journals announced
that commercial treaty between France and
England was on the tapis, and that the Emperor
had determined to give way to his free
trade propensities, and give commerce strong
and steady push forward by altering or aboliahing
the-up TO the present time-most obnoxious
customs dues. What rejoicings there have been in
