Observation-Disclosures.

We print herewith forcble letter from
Gen. James Watson Webb in favor of Pro-
lection to American Ship-building. In many
of its positions we heartily concur, but Others
require consideration. We must deal with
them summarily.
Gen. Webb, we rejoice to see, does not favor
our going abroad for our ships. He holds, as
we do, that we require not only vessels but
the knowledge and skill required to produce
them. He would not purchase foreign ships; /;
but he would admit duty-free all materials
used in building or fitting out vessels con-
structed on our own soil.
Now we do not object to allowing a draw
back of the duties paid on materials used in
ship-building, providing corresponding
bounty be paid ON like materials of native
origin. One man builds an iron steamship
wherein he uses one thousand tuns of British
Pig Iron; so he is allowed thereon draw
back from the Treasury of the $1,000 paid on
the importation of that Iron. Another builds
just such another steamship of American
Iron; and Gen. Webb is silent as to him; but
we would allow him bounty equal to the
others drawback. Why mott Shall we pay
men for not using American Iron in the con-
struction of American vessels to which we
accord monopoly of our inland and coast
wise navigation
Gen. Webb would ignore all inquiry into
the causes of the decline of American Ship
building. We cannot consent to this The
cure of an evil is almost always dependent
on an accurate knowledge of its cause. And
the causes of the present depression of our
Ship-building and Navigating interests are
briefly these:
/. Sea-going vessels were formerly built
New-York tribune., 1870-08-09
TILE ISLTTATION IN PARIS.

The dangers which threaten the Emperor on
the MOselle are trivial in comparison with the
dangers that assail him from the Seine. III we
remember how close is the censorship over tele-
grams from Paris, how carefully every message
which tells of trouble for the Government or
peril to the dynasty is shorn and trimmed be-
fore it is permitted to pass out OF the En-
pire, we shall be better able to appreciate
the awful significance of few brief
sentences which reach us this morning
from the French capital. That the nation
would put forth extraordinary exertions in
order to repel a foreign invasion nobody
doubted. The defeat of the grand army has
reused a true patriotic rage, and Will put
hundreds of thousands of ardent men in the
field But with the martial ardOr of the hour
is reused deep-seated grief and disappoint-
ment at the failure of the leader who promised
a few weeks ago to carry the French eagles In
triumph to Berlin. France will fight, but she has
lost confidence in her commander. She clamors
for general armng of the people. She pushes
aside the incompetent ruler who has led her
into disaster, and demands that she shall have
the direction of her own destinies. She is per-
suaded that nothing but bad generalship can
defeat her armies, and she is burning with re-
sentiment at the cause of her disgrace.
The people, in fact, are fast getting
beyond the control of the Govern
ment, and although they answer with
alacrity the EmperOr's call to arms, they
demand at the same time that arms shall be
placed in the hands of the whole population,
and no longer Napoleon but the men of France
shall have the command of the country. Ma
pOleOn's attempt to pacify the tumult by sac
rifcing a general is not likely to be success
full. Whoever planned the campaign, the En-
peror and not Gen. LebGuf is responsible for
its adoption, and will ultimately bear the pen
atty of its failure.
We need hardly point out how fearfully
omlnous in this hour of disaster and excite
ment is the appointment of a National Com
mittee, with plenary powers to act IN all
things concerning the war. 1t makes little
difference who may be the original members
of this extraordinary body, for if they fail to
satisfy the people, the people will be sure to
have them changed. 1t makes little difference
how moderately they enter upon their func-
tions, for if affairs continue to go ill they will
be swept along by the torrent of popular
indignation. We do not believe the
Bonaparte dynasty will withstand another de-
feat; we question whether it has not already
received its death blow. The impending con-
flict at Metz threatens to involve not only the
issue of the German war, but the existence of
the Napoleonic empire, and the National Com
mittee, which begins its labOrs as the auxiliary
of threatened despotism, may find itself in
a few days the governing power of revolu-
tiOnary republic.
