Versailles.
Versailles, Dec. II. The delay in the
bombardment of Paris was caused partly by
a quarrel between Gems. Blumenthal and
Won Room. The latter wished the use OF
army horses to bring up the guns, while the
former insisted that it was impossible to
spare them. Won Room finally yielded, and
1000 horses are now coming from Germany
to drag the siege guns from the railway to
miners. The condition of the roads is fear
full and food is very scarce in German camps,
and some of the troops have been without
meat days.

Now that the questions of the war are end

Among these questions there is no one, in my
Judgment, more Important than that of Tariff
Taxation, and upon that will be very happy
to present my views, if agreeable to you, on
Wednesday evening Dec. 2lst. Very truly,

clined still further. Besides this, the reports
of our Secretaries Of the Navy show heavy
sale of Government vessels of all kinds, suf-
fcient in themselves to glut our market with
cheap ships, and stop further demand for
ship-building. Nevertheless when the writer,
two years ago, made personal inquiry into the
rates of wages paid in the New York ship
yards, he found sufficient building and re-
pairing going on to enable the principal yards
to run with as nearly as large q force as in
1860, and to pay considerably higher wages
in gold.

which he supposes he has heard somewhere,
says that we are building no more iron ves-
sells, while the following figures, taken from
Mr.. Nimmo's report of the number and ton

recently built of American iron, shows that
we have fairly embarked in the business of
