product, cannot be regarded as discrimlna-
tive, to justify retaliation. But an export
duty on a product to particular country,
and levied against that country alone,
would justify retaliatory measures. The
committee hold that we ought not
to place important imports upon our
free list without considering the
conditions under which such products
leave the country of production and the
commercial relations we have with it, to
the end that we may suggest and possibly
obtain reciprocal advantages. Thus, we
surrendered the power to purchase valu-
able privileges for American commerce
with Brazil, without any conditions, while
that country has kept up its high export
duty and increased its duties on imports
ten per cent. ad valorem. The statements
of the committee and the subject have deep
importance as indicating the necessity for
an American policy of q higher standard,
and that will command for us greater re-
spect abroad. Diplomacy and legislation
should establish this policy and make it so
clear and unmistakable that we shall not
hereafter be Inundated, as the report of
the committee shows we have been in the
past. Certain it is, that we do not now en-
Joy the advantages Of the most favored
nation in the very countries where they
should be ours.

DEATH OF CHARLES F. RoBBINs.-Charles

house of Blake, Robbins & Co, died at $50
o'clock this morning, at his residence, 1855

DETERMINATIONS AGAINST Us-AN
AMERICAN POLICY NEEDED.


The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
lions, in submitting the important report
of inquiry relative to the Determinations
practiced by foreign countries against ex-
ports from the United States, appended cx-
hibits and statistical statements, together
with letters and reports from our Ministers
and Consuls, and outlines and schedules of
the tariffs Of the chief nations of the earth
These make up volume of quite six hun
dred pages, a copy of which is just at
hand The committee found that none Of
the tariffs of the countries of Europe or
America contain specific determinations
against merchandise imported from the
United States But the determinations
found in the tariff systems Of some coun-
tries, particularly France and Austria
Hungary, against merchandise from non
treaty countries, necessarily result in
placing importaGons from the United
States at serious disadvantage BY reason.
for instance, of the great difference between
the duties laid upon American goods by
the general tariff, and the rates or like
goods from treaty countries under the con-
ventional tariffs, much of our merchandise
