PARIS, July 5.-Sjuce writing you from
London came TO Paris; had pleasant
voyage across the channel, ard an enjoy
able trip; no acciGsn and no sea-sick-
ness. 1 have met with 6Sttering re-
ceplon, and was warmly received by
the presidents Of the syndica.es in a for
NAL, authoritative manner. A meeting
was called, composed OF sl the presi-
dents of the different boards of trade, as
well as the president Of the geographic
cal commercial convention, who,
upon my entering the room, rose
and saluted me, whereupOn my
friend Farreuc explained the OBJ
ject of my visit, at the conclusion OF
which the president in the chair rose
and addressed me in q very feeling man.
ner, to which / replied In my usual
felicitOEs style, explaining the object Of
my visit to Paris, and requesting the CO.
operation of the different societies. |
was loudly applauded at the conclusion.
AT two separate meetings have | had to
rise and explain. The last meeting ap-
pointed a committee to meet me and
agree upon terms Of trade, which we
will do in few days. l was introduced
to the minister of foreign affairs, who,
upon my suggestion, has promised to
appoint a vice-cOnsul at Memphis,
which, told him, would facilitate trade
between our city and France. l have
been brought in contact with the
most prominent men in Paris, who
say that Memphis should feel much en-
couraged at the prospects for trade in
future, for l assure you these people
mean business, and enter into the idea
of direct trade enthusiastically. l have
also, at the request of Sir Herman Hirsch,
obtained permission for him to introduce
the model Of his new ship at the exposi-
ton, which, am satisfied, upon the
authority of Mr.. Read, member of par
lament in England, and the celebrated
naval engineer, will prove q success. In
my previous letter the plan OF this ship
was explained. Now, | have another
proposition from the International
chamber of commerce Of London, to the
chamber of commerce in Paris, to unite
and work together for the promotion Of
direct trade with the Mississippi valley.
In an interview with the president Of
the chamber of commerce of Paris, he
authorized me to say to the London
office, or chamber, that at present they
were working to organize an iDterns-
tional chamber in this city, which, so
soon as completed, there would be no
objections to affiliating with the London
office upon such terms as would promote
trade with our country. I should have
said that this proposition comes from
the International chamber Of c. ~ meTce
and Mississippi Valley society o: Len
don. Great preparations are ma i.tg t3r
the meeting on the fifteenth Of dis
month, and many specimens al
samples already received, but L
regret that Memphis has been
so slow in forwarding hers. Major
Akers, another delegate from Ten
nessee, has just arrived, and all are
working together for the interest Of the
State. Paris is full of Americans, but
few, however, from any section, except
the northern portion Of our country. 1t
is rarely the case that q southern man is
seen or heard Of here, or in any other
part Of Europe. The city is gay and
crowded. A paper here, the Figaro, is
very severe on a certain class OF Ameri-
cans, especially those women who come
here, put on good amount of style, and
leave their husbands, and sometimes
children, at home. General Buell. is
much offended, and talks about coffee,
etc. The Article referred to is
slanderOus, so much so, that
some Americans talk shout
holding al Indignation meeting. No
lady should travel through his country
without proper protection, otherwise she
will be subjected to severe criticisms, es-
pecially if she is fycm America and par
takes of the mushroom family. Hon.
A. Dudley Mann is in declining health
l fear, and now speaks Q, returning to
the United States to remain. 1 visited
one OF the deputies to-day on business,
and found him too unTell 10 talk, but
subsequently sent me letter Of intro
ductiOn to another deputy, who is o
lSrge cOtton-spinner, Monsieur Feray,
whom l will see tomorrow, and urge the
advantages of buying in Memphis. The
