English manufacturers and merchants reProach
their own government rather than ours ior the
depression OF business and trade by reason OF our
Tariff. I was equally surprised and gratliied to
find wealthy and intelligent English manufactu-
rers express just and fair sentiments upon this
subject.


Could our Free Trade People hear intelligent,
practical men on this side Of the Atlantic, talk
upon this subject, they would blush to find them
selves advocating Free Trade in favor Of na-
tion whose policy is eminently restrictive. And
could those who believe, or pretend to believe,
that the consumer Of imported articles pays the
duty, hear the language OF the manufacturer OF
these articles we should see the end Of that falla-
cy. 1t is truly amazing that not even the evl-
dcnce of facts and figures. Of dollars and cents,
can dispeI this dclusion. The Free Trade poll
ticians like fanatics in religion, have found "a
dear lalschood' and they "hug 1t to the last"
But were they here, among manufacturers,
they could not keep their eyes closed to the fact
that Tariff is not tax upon those who con-
sumo the articles subject TO duty.


England is far more extensively Agricultural
than l had supposed. And this interest is the
great obstacle to the even more boundless extent
Of her Commerce and Manufactures; for 1t snot
here, as with us, that the Agricuturlsts are the
| ycomanry of the country. The Lands, YOU
know, arc owned by the Nobility, while those
who cultivate the soil arc scarcely a remove above
the Gurths and Wambas who formerly wore
the collars Of Athelstanc and Cedric. Having
entire control of one of the Legislative branches
Of the Government there will be no voluntary re-
linquisllmcnt of or relaxation i'll policy which
virtually prohibits the Agricultural products Of
Nations upon whom England relies TO purchase
her Manufactures There is, however, to be
great conflict between these classes, whose inter
csts are becoming more and more fatally hostile.


PARIS. Aug. 30


Since this letter was commenced, by the
agency Of steam, that element which brings
States and Nations into each others neighborhood,

ENGLAND to that of France: beautiful France"
We came direct from London to Havrc C23O

Rouen go niles by steamer, and from Rouen to
Paris (l00 niles by Railway.
The weather is in the highest degree favorable
to the crops here. The Peasantry, between Havre
and Paris, as we passed, were busy in their fields
Their modes of harvesting are, however, exceed
ing primitive A farmer of Western New York
would be amused to see French harvest field
The grain is cut (by men and womcn) with a
sickle, and after being raked and bound very
clumsilv, the sheaves are placed in sort of rack
on donkev's back, who carries them 10 a street
where they are loaded into wagon and taken
home. The work done in an Ontario or Genesee
wheat field, by four men, occupies at least "a here.


The French are much charmed with the
templated visit of Queen Victoria to Louis Phil
ippe at his Villa, which they confidently expect.


The sudden departure OF the Prince de Join
vile from Windsor was owing to the arrival of
Espartero. II is said that the King of France
proposes the alliance fHis youngest son with the
still Younger Queen of Spain.


You will have heard, ere this reaches you Of
the rebuff given at Dublin to one of your neigh

the London papers having all copied what Mr.
O'Connell said, approvngly This makes
finish of the Herald in Europe.
