INTERESTING LETTERS. ae Cur Paris Correspondence. Panis, Nov. 18, 1852. Important Mamifestos of the Socialists Published tn the Monitewr— Rumored Intention of Louis Na- poleon to Change the Constitutron— Reconciliation of Jerome Bonaparte with Lowis—Himself and Son Heirs to the Imperial Throne—Prince Murat to be Created Vice President of the Senate—Ru- mored Reduction of the Army—Sale of the Jour- | nai Constitutionne’ for 1,900,000 Francs— Liberty of the Press to Discuss the Affaws of Govern- ment—Improvement of Trade—Tranquillity of Spain—Embarrassed Condition of the Financia‘ Affairs of Portugal—Mazzint Plot Discovered at Florence—Secret Society at Mantwa—The Mur- deress of Count Rossi Captured—Visit of the Emperor of Austria to Berlin—Rumors as to the Removal of General Canedo from Cuba. The most important fact to be mentioned at the commencement of this letter, is the indolence and apathy with which the French population is behold- Ing the transformation of its government and consti- tution into the imperial form. There isno agitation, no political movement, to be traced in any part of the country. In vain one endeavors to find a symp- | tom of opposition against Louis Napoleon, or the least enthusiasm in his favor. In the cities, partic- ularly in Paris, the inhabitants are too much inter- ested in their private affairs or pleasures; in the country, the agriculturists, who joined in the demonstrations during the journey of the Prince President, are persuaded that all is accomplished, and they observe the utmost tranquility. The only signs of important events are to be found in the offi- | cial regions of the government, for there exists the utmost agitation. Everywhere the people are satis- | fied and contented at what is about to take place. However, jn the departments the prefects are ac- tively engaged in stimulating the populace to vote in favor of the new Emperor. I have read in several newfpapers the most exthusiastic, not to say foolish, proclamations cf these public officers; but I am induced to believe that despite all this, the voting will be dull, and that the electoral polls will no credit, is much money, and, ha The spaning of the ‘Ocstes wil, 0 rested. members, and all the papers relative to the matter. At Mantua a secret soc’ 7 alba also been dis- covered, which has rami! ns at Venice, Rome, Pavia and Beagoe. The details of the arrests made in those cities have not yet been received in Paris. General Haynau, the fouetteur de femmes, as call- ed in Europe, was at Florence on the 2d instant. ae hostile demonstration has been made against ima. It is said that the murderers of Count Rossi were discovered on the 26th ultimo; their names are Rica; they are two brothers, and were born at Marino. They were both arrested.

Dull Times—The United States Senatorship—Mr. Athaton’s Election—New Publications—Mr. Wallack—Cabinet Gossip—Gen. Pierce's Foreign Policy—The Congressional Elections. Boston is calm as a summer morning, though the weather is anything but summery. There is a complete apathy—all the more striking from the not see around them as many voters as on the 20th December of last year. Much astonishment has been manifested among thoze who are closely following the policy of Louis Napoleon, at the publication, by the Moniteur, on Tuesday last, of several manifestos which have been circulating in France, and partisularly in Par sous le manteau, and were sent here by the Repub! can Committee in the island of sae and from London, and also from Froidshoff by the Count de Chambord. The two first proclamations of these en- raged socialists, from the Comité Revolutionaire, and la Socitté de la Revolution, will be disregarded, cause they are written with blood and not with ink, and because their principles are as sanguinary as those of the revolution of "93. But the 1 -nitestos signed by Messrs. Victor Hugo, For »ertane, and Philip Paar have met with the p.rtial approba- tion of many, for it contains many traths which are wel) known to all those who, without passion, are daily weighing the actsof Louis Napoleon We all know here that the future Emperor, whilst calling the peeple of France to the polls, does not care a “straw” for the result of the votes. He must and he will have a majority in his favor. The protestation of the Count of Chambord, which has been known in Paris for the last week, has been read with avidity by all the legitimists and Orleanists; but, | am sorry to say, tho author of that document has missed his aim. No matter how this document has been prepared, either by Henry the Fifth himself, or by those who are his advisers, the coup est marque, will have no weight on the public mind. Several associations have been formed in Paris, and also in the departments, of people who had been dizcoveredin the act of dis- tributing, clandestinely, the proclamation of the the Court of Chambord; but the Moniteur having publiched it, I am inclined to think that those men will be cet free. i n the politfoal circles, that as soon oleon is proclaimed Empzror, he will change, pro prio motu, without consulting the peo- ple or even the Senate, the whole constitution which he swore to support on the Mth January last, and this on dit hasall the appearance of a fact, for there is no question in the Senatus-consultum of the substitution of an Empire for the Republle. The members of the legislative corps are retarn- ing to Paris from all parts of France, and this body is vearly complete. It is remored that each of these tshag officers will reeeive ® salary of ten thousand os a year After a stay of five days at Fontaineblean, where Louis Bonaparte had invited all bis intimes to & series of chasing end shooting parties, be returned to Paris, where he arrived on Tuesday last, by the Lyors railway. It bappened that I was on the Bou- levards des Italien when he passed, escorted by a battalion of dragoons, and I did not hear a single shout or hurrah in his honor. Hither the public had not been aware of his return, or his agents had not reached their usual positions; the ‘‘ enthn- siarm” which greeted bim at Lyons, Marseilles, Montpelier and other cities, was not manifosted here. The marriage of the future Emperor is still a Pordre du jour, and it bas been announced in the a most official manner in the diplomatic circles On the fourth of this mcnth, Princess Vasa (Carola) made her abjuration at Mora in Moravia For a long time the Princess had desired to become a Roman Catholic, but she was obliged to wait her majority to obtain the consent of her father, apd then she was instructed into the Roman religion by the Bishop of Brann, before whom she made her abjuration. Orders bave been given to dresswakers, milliners and jewellers. for an entire wardrobe and troveseau. At the Tuilleries, the former apartments of Josephine and Marie Louise have been restored in a magnificent style, and a medal, in commemoration of the marriage, has been ordered of Mesers Oudine & Bovy, the en- gravers of the government. Jerome Bonaparte, the uncle of the President, hi now reached his sixty-eighth year, and though had been said that he was on bad terms with his nephew, I am well informed that he has made his peace with Louis. It is reported that he will be made either Grand Admiral or Grand Constable of France, as soon as the Empire is proclaimed. It appears, also, that he and his son, despite his demo- eratie opinions, will be chosen by the future empe- ror as the heirs to his sucecesion, in case he has no ebildren by Princess Vasa Prince Murat is to be the Vice President of the Senate, as Prince Beanharnais was under the empire of Napoleon the Great The death of the Duke ef Leuchtenberg has been much felt by the Prea'dent, for, as [informed you im my last letter, he porsessed great influence with the northern sovereigns of Europe. This loss is irreparable to Louis Napoleon M de Kittileff, the present Charge d’Affaires of Austria, ison the eve of returning to Paris; and Lord Cowley left. two days ago for London, where he goes to be present at the funeral of the Dake of Wellington, who was one of his relatives Bince the return of Abd el-Kuder to A boise, the prees of Paris hae given a daily account of his move- meuts. A fact worth being mentioned is, that the city of Bronsse, where Abd el Kader will be interné, con- tains the tomb of Kheir ed Diu, the Barberousse, who is the founder of the Regency of Algiers The army is said to be on the eve of being re- duced. The decree concerning this new measure will be ready and publiebed on the 20th inst The sale of journal, Le Constitutionnel, to Messicurs Mires 4 Milband, by M_ Veron, has been the cause of universal gossip in Paris, It ap- pars that the buyers and sellers, who have for the tsix monthe dieputed the price between them- selves, sre st lust tired M. Mirée has bought the share of M de Mornyin the Comstitutionne, and thus forced M. Veron to dispose of bis part. Tho price given for that transaction is anid to be 1,900 000 franes cash, thatis to say, 800,000 francs to M Veron, snd the remainder to the other shareholders of the Constitvtionnel The now proprietors of this journal, who are also proprietors of Le Pays, will ‘ the price of subscription to the paper, ibe $12 (sixty franes) for the Constitu ud $9 33 (forty-eight francs) for the Pays gnae will sppear in the field of journal fem at tbe bead of the Constitutionne, and M. de Ja Guerrounier will continue to contribute to Le 3" which will take the title of Jowrnal de |’ Em- re , It is said that Mr. Veron has obtained from Lonis ~_Nepoleon tho office of fermier des jeux, (chief of b faro bank rouge et moire) which will be re-eata- lished on the Ist of January next Apropos of the press of France, Tain told, that as 8on7 a8 the Ewpire is proclaimed, liberty will be graa.'ed to the journalists to enter into some dissua- sion a’ to the doings of the government.

The regular poli- | tune, and are now “ pottering » about the United States Senatorship that the whigs are sorry to dis- pose of. It shows how candidates will spring up, when it is mentioned that the following gentlemen | have been named for the place:—George Ashmun, | Edward Everett, Rufus Choate, R C. Winthrop, | Gov. Briggs, Abbot Lawrence, and John H. Clif- ford, beside some lesser personages. Mr. Ashmun | has his Websterism and his residence in the West- ern part of the State to recommend him, to say nothing of his talents; Everett, Choate, Win- | throp and Lawrence, who all live in Boston, or its immediate vicinity, are cut off by their locality | from being candidates, Mr. Sumner being from Boston, and it being contrary to custom to take | both Senators from the same place Mr. Clifford, | for various reasons, has the most availability. He is the leader of the whig party. He has been its St. George, who has killed the Dragon coalition. He lives in a part of the State which has never sent a Senator to Congress. He has talents equal at Jeast to the best ot his eompetito: Then the place would suit him, while governorship would not; for, should he continue in the executive chair, he will be bored to death by “‘ rummies,” a class of people whom he uses and scorns (ov. Briggs would stand a good chance for the place if the whigs should quarrel about filling it up, for the free soilers would all go for him, and not a few democrats, to spite the regulars of the poeta ea The extent of the opposition made to Mr. Ather ton’s nomipvation for sia Legislature, rather surprised people that the election of Mr Atherton was specially da- sired by General Pierce, and it was thought that so reasonable a desire would meet with no opposi- tion in New Hampshire; yet the change of ten votes, in a very large caucus, would have given the place to Mr Wells. It was a graze, that is certain Mere feeling than the pyblic is aware of, entered into, and bas been caused by, this matter. That Mr. Wells would have received the Senatorship had Gen. Pierce not been elected, no one doubts; but when he and his friends deny that the President elect did not de | sire the election of Mr. Atherton, they are totally mitteken, or worse Mr Atherton would not have accepted the office but for the purpose of obliging his fricud Among the on dits, is one that Mrs. Atherton is to preside at the White House, though anotber assigns that duty to Mra. McNeil, widow of the late Gen. John McNeil, and sister of General Pierce; and yet a third to M:s. Robert Lee, of this city, Mrs. Pierce’s health 1 not admit of her undertaking to do the honors of the executive man- sion; and even Mrs, Atherton, who is eminently qualified for the duty, (she is a very superior woman, both in intellect and person.) has expressed her lively regret that circumstances should have forced her husband again into Washington life, a mode of existence most repugnant to her, and I believe to Mr. Atherton himself, also Messrs. Ticknor, Reed & Fields anaounce a new wolume of De Quincey’s works, which will contain some of his finest contributionsto Blackwood. They also will publish, next month, an i)lustrated edition of Longfeilow’s *‘Hyperion,”’ the work on which has been done in England. The same house have anew poem, by Whittier in press Mr JR Lowell, who has just returned from Europe, aiter an absence of some two years, is en: eged in anew poem, entitied “The Morning Bat it will be good, can be safely predicted The new course of lectures before che Lowell In- stitute will be by Charles B Goodrich, and com- mence on Tuesday evening, November 30. They will be on the ** Science of Government, a3 exhi- bited in the Institations of the United States” Mr. Goodrich is a dull, prosy speaker, and [ aw not aware that his acquaintance with the chief of all sciences is of that character which should lead us to expect that he can say anything new on it Mr. Wallack’s engagement at the National has been a real triumph, reviving what elderly theatre- “goers call the glorious days of the drama. Hoe has performed eeveral of his beet parts in stirling plays, supported by Mrs Barrett. W. F. Johneon, and other capital artistes. Mr Wallack was always a favorive bere, aud it would seem that he has lost neither bis power nor bis popularity. The new version of ‘* Uncle Tom's Cabin,”’ at the Museum, is looked for a long run, and will put money into Mr. Kimball’s purse. Madame Thilion is announced to make her last appearance at the Howard on Monday evening, in tho character of Roxana. Shs has deen very suecessfal. The ta'k about the new cabinet appointments is limited to persons who take a particular interest in the matter, and people preferring to leave the mat- ter to Gen. Pierce, in whom the people have confi- dence. Among those named for @ cabinet office from New England, is Colonel Greene of the Pust, who is said, I know not how truly, to desire the og of Postmaster General. I can scarcely be- jeve tbAt the gentleman would select so harda place, if ho indeed bas any ambitious aspirations of the kind. The man, however, who will go into the cabinet from New England, if any are, is Caled Curbing. His vast knowledge, his variou and his unparalleled industry, make him j 6 man that Gen Pierce will moet need about bim. It has been enid that he would resign his seat on our Supreme Bench in the event of the triumph of the whigs, and co give to Gov. Boutwell an opportunity to plece another democrat in his office ; but | pre- sume this isall “talk.” Gov. Boutwell would hard- ly have the pluck to fill the vacancy, were Judge Cushing to cauee it to exist. Our Supreme Coart is likely to have some new men jn it, now thet the goverpment is to pases into tho hands of the whigs. Judge Fletcher's health is declining. and it is umderstood that he wishes to retire. It iealso said that Judge Shaw will va- cate the Chief Justiceship, which he has held for more than twenty years. His name has been men- tioned in connection with the United States senator- ship, and he is just the tort the man upon which the old whig party would have oonferred it; bat the new whigs are @ little ‘‘faster” than were their pro- decersors. and will look to politics, in filling the place, with a sharp eye The publication of the Cuba correspondene: un- der President Polk’s administration has excited some comment I may mention, here, that 1 thiok that those gentlemen who believe that Gen Pierce will be in favor of what, for want of a better term, may be called the /iliibustering foretgn policy. are likeiy to mect with some disappointment From what J learn, from a source of the first respootability, I am deo. idedly of opinion that his views donot point n that would be likely to realize some te schemes of Messieurs the go-aheada.

Thave had the pleasure of several little inter- views with General Pierce. He isa man of mark, a man of education, » man of accomplishments in the ways of the world; a shrewd politician, and of broad and comprehensive views as a statesman. His face is expressive, and genial, and intelligent. He is affable and pleasing in his manners, modest and unpreeuming, yet cool and self possessed in a remarkable degree. He evidently feels that he has not yet been tried to the measure of his capacities; and, what is better, he has the power involuntarily of convincing you of the fact. He has an agrecable voice, speaks readily, freely, fluently, and correctly; but he keeps his own counsels in all matters re- quiring the exercise of a saving discretion. In person he is about five feet nine inches high, straight, and slenderly built. He has not that breadth of shoulders, nor that depth of chest, in- dicating the most vigorous constitution. His com- plexion, too, is pale, and his face thin, excepting the extraordinary expansion of his lower jaw; but he is one of that wirey, active class of men, all muscle and nerve, and capable of all sorts of hardships and endurance. Fremont, who has sustained the most incredible trials of starvation, and cold, and snow, in the depth of winter, among the inhospitable peaks and dreary defiles of the Rocky mountains, and the Sierra Nevada, is one of the same sort— | spare and delicate, but elastic, and muscular, and tough, and hardy as Kit Carson. James K. Polk, | who could ride on horse-back sixty miles a day, in the middle of July, and make three or four stump | speeches of # quarter of an hour each, was of the | seme spare construction. So was Marion; so was | Napoleon in his prime; so was Wellington; so was Horatio Nelson; so was Jefferson; so was Old | | Hickory, and so was Harry Cla; General Pi | | has precedents in the greatest abundance to make a | merit of being neither a Falstaff nor a Hercules. Thus much for the man. Now, wh he going todo? It is very likely that no man can answer that question—not even General Pierce himself. | The eircumatances and necessities of the hour must, to a great extent, control his future actions. He will have to judge of events, and expedicats, and men, as the time may demand. It is impossisle that he can now say such and such men shall con- stitute my cabinet, and such shall be the policy, im | detail, of my adminis‘ration. He can’t de it. He | must cast about him—he must study the antece- dents and qualifications of his men, the situation of | the party, the condition of the country, the cem- | plexities of our foreign irs, the requirements of | the time, and the spirit of the age. The Baltimore | platform does not cover the exigencies of his posi- tion. He mutt initiate a new epoch—he must take | = new departure. The horizon has widened all sround him, of which the old landmarks compisa | but a contracted circle Still, there iea stake hore and there, like those which forwerly marked the route El Lianos Est: do across the desert table lands of New Mexico, by which he must be guidedin his course. And first. upon the Cuba question, you may take it for granted that the acquisition of that island is a fore- | gone conclusion. There is every reason to belicve that General Pierce has 89 eonsidered it, since the late tremendous election, if not before. A primuy object, then, must be the selection of a cabinet that will be a unit upon that question, to enable its several parts to work harmoniously and efficiently together. How is this to bedone? Wao will be good enough to name such a cabinet for General Pierce? ‘ake, for example, the following, and every one of the men named in it has been put for- ward, in various quarters, as very likely to be ap- pointed, and then let ua examine it for a moment:— James Buchanan, of Penn Villiam L. Marcy. of N Y. J. A. Wright, of Tadiana fam Houston, of Texas. Howell Cobb, of Georgia Postmaster General. ‘dmond Burke, of NH. Attorney General. H. A. Wise, of Virginia A fair cabinet—a good stiff cabinet, in fact ; but it is probable that not one of the men named will Navy be appointed. Wright and Burke, as being now men, and eligibly located in every respect, per- haps, of the list, the most likely to co for, however true or fictitious it may be, a a is gaining ground up here that there is to be anew thufile and cut, and « new deal all round. Perpend Why so? Because it is said Gen Pierce intends to have an administrationof his own, and not ane for the benefit of either Buchanan or Mar- cy. Besides, it is pretty well understood that nei- thee Cass, Douglas, nor Dickinson desire to come in; and is it likely that, waiving their own preten sions, they will willingly suffer any of the old Presidential set--the ‘old fogies ’-- to take the inside track of a cabinet ap- pointment ? Not likely. In any event, it is hardly pct that more than one of Polk’s cabinet can ye chosen, either Buchanan or Marcy. But unfortu- nately for Mr. Buchanan, the publication of his Cuba correspondence with (ien. Saunders, has dish- ed bim. Mark, now, ifit has not dished him. The policy of the new administration first requires that the tracks of Mr. Buchanan should be covered u: To OH aa him now would be to re-proclaim his offer of a hundred millions in the face of the whole world and all ‘‘the rest of mankind.”’ Is it not pal- pably manifest that President Fillmore has put the veto te Mr. Buchanan The appointment of Gen Marcy appears almost as impracticable, on account of the bitter feud still existing between him and Senator Dickinsom. I rather suspect, however, that the Barnburners are | in better odor up here just now than some of the leading Hunkers. Dickinson did not work so cheer- | fully in the campaign as he might have done, while John Van Buren and Dix stumped it all over the land with the enthusiasm of Methodist preachers at r “He that believeth and is bap- ved ; but he that believeth not’ — ! hisfate isawful. Andif any compromise ismade | for New York, it is as likely to fell upon Dix as upon anybody else. In fact, it is supposed by rome very wise looking men on the Merrimack, that if the two New York factions can harmonize upon the Cuba queetion, euch a division will be made of the 8. oils between the cabinet, the custom house | and the post office, as cannot fail to satisfy them. But it would not be a matter of surprise if, for the | snke of peace in the family, New York were lefc en- | tirely out of the cabinet Howell Cobb is out of the question. He belongs to that emall wing, or offshoot, of the Southern de- mocratic party which, a year or two ago, went off with the whigs in Georgia, Alabama, Lousiana and | Mistiseippi on the Union tack, and some of whom very reluctantly came back into line on the heel of the late election. Cobb, Foote, Clemens, Downs, and company will therefore have to undergo a sort | of purgatorial purification of some years to come, before they can be admitted, (without destroying | the party in the South.) into the high seats of the synagogue Cobb, then, is somewhat in the pre~ icament of the venerable Daniel Tucker, too late to come to the cabinet supper | Nor is there any sound party reagon for the ap- pointment of Mr Wise of Virginia. He is one of the | two or three survivors of th ebrated Corporal’s Guard of Captain Jobn Tyler. Ouching is another. But the remiviscences of Wise in reference to Gen. Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk as speaker of the House, are particularly uncomfortable. He may do for some foreign appointment, as Cushing may do for a Brigadier General in the event of another war with Mexies. To sum up From present appearances, the cabi- t of Gen. Pierce will be a new cabinet-~a' Pierce jet—a unit in behalf of the administrat‘on, and & unit upon the Cuba question. [t will probaly de | dives.ed Lape ‘of the old Prosidontial ex ‘di- dates, ana altogether of the elements of Polk’é cabinet, Captain Ty)er’s guard, and the late bybrid | pnd Floride, come next ja | train, bis legs beleg nearly severed from his body with the button-hole into a lg think; and they notes all the wav |. Let the reader put ruminating Duteh: on then [aegis a utehman, an answer eo wind isn’t Nor’ East by Sou’ West. As for Gen Pierce, he has no more to answer for in re; to these conjectures than (en.

He would attempt to meet these responsibilities. and to fulfill this mission, to the best of his abilities. He distrusted his own powers; but he was strong in his faith in a superin- tending: Providenee, and strong in the testimonial he had reeeived of the confidence of the country” The ¢limate iscold inthesehigh latitudes.

Allof them, we know, have falls and rapids of more or Jess velocity, which offer obstructions more or less difficult to steamboat navigation. T! fore, as to the question how far these rivers may be ascended by steamboats at low water, and how far at high, that must be left for actual trial to decide. Thope, therefore, the time is not distant when an ‘American steamer will be sent to make s completo and thoreugh examination as to this point, and to | explore that rich and interesting region of count with a view to its commercial resources, pre- sent and prospective. In the present state of our information, we can judge asto the actual resources of those several streams for trade and traffic, by com: those as to which we are in the dark with those which have been recently Spa As the type of the whole in this respect, therefore, I take the Tocantins. As you enter the southern mouth of the Amazon, the mouth of the Tocantins is the firet but one that you pass. It traverses more parallels of latitude than our Mississippi dogs; but it is a straighter, and, therefore, not so long a river. It takes its rise inthe provinces of Matto Grosso and Goyaz, and drains there two provinces, with that of Para. This river lies wholly within Brazilian fests, and was explored down to Port Barre, Castel- nau, in 1843 44. From him, therefore, I deri special information with regard to it. It ate Gol and diamond country, and isan exceedingly rieh agricultural one. Its principal tributary is the Aragusy, which isa most noble stream. Eeteking parts of the valley of the To- cantins, in which he was, Castelnau says :—‘‘I_ be- lieve that this rich and valuable ccuntry will be found one of the most healthy in tho world.” _ The city of Goyaz, with a population of seveh or eight thousand, and the cay of its province, is situated on the Vermilho, celebrated for its gold- eneands. This river is about twenty steps 6 Op- posite the city, and vessels from Para come up and make fast to the bridge below. The distance thence in a straight line to the mouth of the Amazon is rather under than over a thousand miles. The pop- ulation ef the whole province, more than two thirds of which is in the valley of the Toeantins, is 125,000, of which 25,000 are slaves. There is a number of flourishing towns and vil- lages on the water-shed ofthisriver. Among these is Berane which derives its name from its salt works. Near by the salt lake of Salinas is the lake of Pearls surrounded by a beautiful vegetation, and numerously inhabited by aquatic birds. Noth- ing, says Castelnau, can give one ‘‘ une idee de la beaute de cette jolie piece d’eaw.”’ Its waters are fresh, and it abounds with a shellfish which contain the pearl. ‘1t was here that the voyageurs found such a varie- ty of rare and useful plants; among them one, the fruit of which is used to mak cellent substitute for nut-galis; another was a kind of cane, the roots of which makes a yellow dye of the most exquisite hue. They obtained, wild from the foreste, ail the colors with which they painted the Brazilian flag that was hoisted during the des- cent of the Araguay, the prinei ipal Tocantins, and far more beautiful than the belle ri- vere of the West. They use for tanning the bark of a tree, with which the raw hide is converted into leather ina month. They have two varieties of ink, and it isan ox- | tributary of the | manioc, of great beauty, which require little or no | labor in cultivation. Itis propagated by cuttings, or slips; so also isthe sugar-cane, which sends up from every joint a dozen stalks, and gives a crop in every eight months. The black bean, an essential article of food with the Brazilians, grows here in great perfection; it yields four crops a year. Two kinds of beautiful palms grow wild in the woods, which also furnigh the natives with an abundant supply of wholerome food, there have been in this provinee as many as one hundred thousand slaves employed at one time in collecting gold a!one. But as rick in mines as this province is, its soil, with its productions, much richer. It is well adapted to the cultivation of cotton and ooffee, sugar and tobacco, of Indian corn, rye, wheat, and | oats, of rice, indigo, pulse, and potatoes, manioc, nuts, ipecacuanha, sarsaparilla, vanilla, anatto, bal- eam, India rubber, and a great variety of gues gpices, ornamental woods, roots, drugs, and e and stofts.

The laws of natare have ordained that the people who dwell upon those slopes shall be tillers of the earth or keepers of flocks and herds. ‘That wise law giver never intended that man should forsake a land of milk and honey for the mariner’e calling, when, after toil, hardship, ir, and ex- posure, he can only gain the means ef a frugal sub- sistence from the sea. Bread grows on trees in Brazil; honey is found in the woods; and there is a tree there, too, which, being tapped, yields abundantly a rich juice whick: the people use instead of milk. Nature has never yet put in the heart of man to forsake such a land and take to the sea. The sea front of these beautiful slopes proclaim this same law of nature. It is written in the fiolds, whispered in the breeze, and felt in the climate. ‘The sea has no spell by which the enchantments of soft climates, fertile soils, cheap lands, and a healtby country, can be broken. It is necessity—y aad that, too, a necessity that is right stern— whieh induces man to forsake the land, and take to the sea for Lae : Among the snes ions requisite bt make tha | le of any country a seafarin; &re peou- jiarities of nil and climete which mek it easier for the workingman to carn his bread at sea than it is onthe land.

They come from the s of the extra-trop of the fevers elm North, and not from the sunny climes of the South. ‘They come from Old and New England, the north of Ew and of America. Who ever of our.

Much easier is it in the the Amazon, where the plantain and the banana, the most nutri- tious of food, w and ripen, and are prepared for the table without even the care of tho. laborer to dress the plant or the viand; where rice grows wild, the sugar cane ripens every eight months, an where food enough to bieh & population of mil- lions is annually wasted for the want of laborers to gether it. How can the people of such s country ever become a seafaring people? What, short of the messengers of God's wrath, the famine and th pestilence, could drive a people from such a land, or * nduce them to forsake it and follow the sea? Another eondition necessary to the establish- ment of seafaring communities is the presence of the matrast the rock-bound coast of South America stiff outlines, its want of articulation, the rigid, forbidding soa front of its Atlantie slopes— | with the waving seashores, their magnificent gulfs,’ | their beautiful bays and harbors, with their capes, promontories, and peninsulas of the northem mari- time regions of the earth, and see how forcibly | nature has proclaimed the fact that the soil and the | climate of Brazil forbid her people to follow the sea-! When the dry land first appeared, it was ordained that a power of maritime habits was never to dwell where Brazil ia. Look at the Baltic sea, the Mediterranean, and the Black, which, with their arms and gulfs, stretcle up into the heart of Europe, by their presenca, invite the people to leave those over-populated dis< tricts and inhospitable climes to roam over the sea, and visit the.sunpy spots of the earth. Again, look here in like manner in the northert hemisphere, at the Red sea, the Persian gulf, jut- ting-out Hindostan, tipped with the pendant isle of Ceylon, the bay of Bengal, the straits of Malacc,! the gulfs of Siam and Tonquin, the Yellow sea, with: the seas of Japan and Ochotsk winding along the shores, insinuating themselves among the people fat back in the country, and with a coast line won. derfully indented, inviting them out to sea—con-". sider this. and then contrast this shore line of the north with the shore lines of Africa and New Hol- land. There is no articulation there, and Nature never intended either of these two continents as the home of a maritime and seafaring people. The same contrast holds between the bays, gulfs, bights, and peninsulas of North America, when you come to compare them with the straight linea which in South America divide the dry land from the sea. Nature, therefore, is against Brazil with her longings for maritime egy Corie She must be content to let other nations fetch and carry for her. She can never have the shipping nor the meg to carry her own produce to market. All of Europe, some of Asia, half of Africa, most of North America, and ninety and nine parts of South America, are drained into the Atlantic. Tho three largest rivers in the world empty into it, and the largest of river basins are tributary to it. It is but a8 @ narrow canal which separates Eu- rope and Africa from the New World, and the amount of back country which through river basing | and Atlantic slopes is tributary to this oceanic ca- val, taust for ever cond down to it an immense amount of produce and merchandise The Atlan- tie ocenn is therefore destined to be forever the great ecene of this world’s business, and of com- merce. And the principal feature in this arrange- ment of land and war, and dist: ibution of river basim | and eeu bighways, is the valley of the Amazon. ‘The winds and currents of the sea are so ordered that, wherever the market-place may be, overy sailing vessel, as she passes to and fro between it and the mouth of the Amazon, must, either in com- or in going, pass by our doors. in, | ine Atlantic seaports are the half-way stations The experts consist of these, besides calf, kid, | otter, and ounce skins, with other products of the field, the forest, the river, aud mine. The imports are fabrics of silk, wool, flax, and cotton, hats, salt, drugs, medicines, crockery, wine, brandies, farming implements, &o. The voyage up the river from Para occuvies about The upward freight is four dollars the one hundred pounds; the downward, one dollar— and the first steamer has yet to be seen upon this majestic stream.

The crew of one of those rude vessels that go poling up the Tocantins as far as Porto Imperial consista of from twenty to thirty men. They take down, among other thing’, hidss, which at Goyaz | are worth fifty cents, aud at Para eell for one dollar and fifty certs ; and so of ether thirgs. ‘The banks of this river are said to be inhabited ia some parts by hostile Indians; and this, it is said, is one of the causes of its rude navigation. But the steamboat would certainly not have more to fear tban these unwieldly hulks of Brazil as they go creeping along the coward shores. There is a dozen other rivers emptying into the Amazon t drain water sheds which are no doubt as rich and fertile as thi Weare entitled to infer, not only by reference to the Tacontins asatype of them, but by reference to the quantity of produce that gocs to sea from the Amszon, that the valleys of its other tribntaries ara not behind that of the Tacontins. Produce enough eomes down the Amazon to Para to give that city an apnual trade of three millions of dollars! Bolivia sent last year, from her port of this great water thed, two millions dollars worth of Peruvian bark alone. But that went over the mountains to the Pacific. The steamboat would have brought it down the Amazon to the Atlantic. It would have brought buriness to Para, and added greatly to the wealth of Brezil and the prosperity of her people. It certainly would be wisdom in Brazil were sho to make not only the navigation of the Amazon free to all the world, but it would be politic to throw open to foreign commerce and navigation the To- Gaan also, and all her other Amazonian tribu- taries. The value of the trade up and down the Tocantins would be increased many fold; the hostile Indians, which infest its banks and prevent their settlement, would be driven away; and Jands that are now profilers, and produce that is valueless, would be- come profitable. We admit the coffee of Brazil into our porta duty tree, We are her beet customer and teatd, and it is quite time that Brazil had signalized her apprecia tion of this patronage and friendship by some sign, or token, at least, that sho, too, would be liberal in her policy Since the subjects of Brasil thomselves have not judged it expedient to put a steamer on the Tocan- tins to go Me after all this coffee, and rice, and suger, and tobacco, &o , it certainly would bi wi in her to permit citizens of the United Stat France, or of England, todo it They would g! go up this river after this fine Goyar, coffee. subjects then would receive double the price thoy row receive for it, and the rest \ Those of them who are employed in transporting thie merchandise to the seaboard, by water and by land, would then find more profitable employment between the mouth of the Amazon and all the mar-~ kets of the earth. The trade winds and the great equatorial current of the Atlantic have placed tha commercial mouth of the Amazon in the Florida ass, where they have placed that of the Mississippi ‘hese two unite at our feet, and pour their wealtlz along our shores. For these and other reason: import, the frea navigation of the Amazon becomes a matter of deep interest to the world, and of especial interest to this country. Therefore it is incumbent upon this coun- try to take the initiative in opening the trade and navigation of that river to the world. The policy of commerce requires it. Inmy next I shall treat of the means of accomplishing it, and of the rights which we havo there. Inca.
