Havre, March, 183?. [Correspondence of
the Transcript] I have seen a guidebook
somewhere which calls this clever little sea
port (at the mouth of the Seine) “ unc grande
belle riche et forte vllle maratimeand some
body else gives it the modest title of the Liv
erpool of France. It only shows how uncom
mercial, a3 well as how vain, a people the
French are. It is true, however, nbtwithstand
ing the ludicrous mal-apropos of these preten
sions, that Havre is a commercial, busy, thrifty
little town ;,thc most strictly mercantile ma
rine depot probably in the kingdom—which,
you will bear in mind, is not saying a great
deal. This pre-eminence it owes to its situa
tion on the river, and. its proximity both to
Paris and the sea. It being on the western
coast also has given it an opportunity in the
Colonial trade, and more latterly in the Amer
ican, for you do not need to be informed tint
our business is transacted mostly with this
port. An American will notice the ships of
his countrymen here, in the basins, at once, in
the midst of all these heterogeneous and fan
tastic craft. I read with some pleasure in
deed the familiar names of Boston and Salem
on the sterns of the finest of these vessels, for
the first time in France. As for the new pack
et, Burgundy, which lay at the dock’s edge,
ready for sea, (having just made her passage
4n fifteen days) there is no end to the admira
tion she seems to receive. The French have
crowded on board ever since her arrival, and
they declare, after an examination, that they
should not have believed such a ship could be
made. She is, in fact, perhaps as fine a pack
et as we have; her measurement over 800 cus
tom house tons, with«plendid accommodations
for more than sixty passengers in the cabin
alone. It cannot but gratify an American
abroad, to find so flattering an estimate enter
tained of the science and skill of his country
men, and especially to see it so justly deserv
ed.
Havre, in the old world, is called a young
place, being only about 1150 years advanced in
life, which in Europe of course is a mere
chick. The business here, what with the
ports of wines, brandies, silks, &c. is
considerable, and larger in proportion to the
population, undoubtedly than in any other city
of France; the number of inhabitants-being
only abont 25,000. It is the only place in the
country within my knowledge, where even the
majority of the people had the air of being
honafde employed. In other places the mar
vel has been to me, how “ all this multitude”
could continue to live without apparently hav
ing any thing to wear, to eat, or to do; and
the more I see of them the more always the
wonder grows. Here, alone, it is not so.
There is a real business done here : by whom
matters not much to me; the majority is
French, I presume; but the mixture of various
foreigners among them, and the communica
tion with foreign nations so great, that the bus
iness habit they have at last fallen into may be
considered more foreign than French. Havre
is a kind of commercial school for the nation,
where Englishmen, Dutchmen, and Americans
have been the teachers. The natives are the
pupils. If they make clever ones in this case
it does not after all make against the theory
that their national- character is an uncommer
cial, an unpractical, and unbusiness one, as I
have formerly described it It only shows that
under good auspices, and strong stimulus, the
French can and will attempt and accomplish
almost what they please; and that we knew
before. Nobody suspects them of stolidity.
Their difficulty is the reverse rather. They
arc too quick more than too slow. Tiicir ex
citability makes them volatile; and it is only
special circumstances and severe drilling that
will counteract this tendency to fly off. They
must be “ broke hi” to business, as they are at
Havre ; and then kept in, as you keep a wild
colt in a luggage-wagoa, with blinders on, and
a load behind him, f ill lugging and tugging
subdue his spirits and the dancing disposition
is fairly figged out of him.
Whether it is quite out of the good Havre
people yet, l have soinn doubt. The Cases are
rather suspicious again. Twenty large ones
in this little town, with as many hotels besides !
And then the “ Patisserie” —the “ Pavfumerie”
—tho “ Coiffeurs”—the “ Magazins des Modes”
—the “ Confiseries”—the “ Eau-de-vie” —the
flashy “ Bijouterie”—and the trash and trifles,
in a word, of every description ; it is vanity
of vanities indeed. St ill they make a business
of it, such as it is, and a brisk one. This am
bitious little “Rue do Paris” is a thorough fire
that would do no dishonor to New York itself,
and might be taken at a little distance for a
long slice of that busy city, inserted in Havre
by some mistake. And an Omnibus, too,
they have, as well as a Steamboat, at last. 1
should be really tempted to give them credit
for some practicability after all, in spite of tho
Confiseries and the Cases—but alas! I have
but to stroll ten minutes out of town, and seb
the country people go out and come in; the
undrifted—the natives—the real French. I
notice the milk boys and girls for example,
with their huge square wooden hampers of tin
jars, filled in with straw, on horseback, and
they themselves on top of that; and such hor
ses and harnesses to boot! Every thing in the
way of business, in fact, is done in the most
awkward, shabby, shiftless manner. No im
provements are introduced from age to age.
No advantage is taken from foreign example,
and they will not reflect for themselves. They
are not a working people. They can walk,
(lance, dress, fiddle, fence, fight, sing, and,
above all things, talk ; but to do any thing, is
out of their fine. Look at the provinces. Look
at Paris. Look at the agriculture, the manu
factures, the commerce, of these thirty mil
lions of brilliant w ine drinkers, and of this
magnificent empire of France. Nay, look at
the houses, the furniture, the smallest things—
every thing. Look at those, and consider their
history, and be convinced. No! Ask for tho
French at the festivals: give them a Revolu
tion to work out in three days, and to bo slaves
ever after, ( as an Indian hunts down a deer,!
and then lies idle a month;) talk of glory and |
liberty to them; call them“aux armes! aux j
arincs!”—aye, give them all Europe to conquer
but Napoleon to lead—and there are the I
French. But do not ask them to work!
I must not let my essay-mania prevent mo
from reminding you that' Havre is the birth
place of Bernard in St rierre. It need not be
feared, however, that the French frill forget it,
though you should, 'lTey never let you for
get any thing of the kind. The house is still
standing here, with a marble tablet let into its
from wall, as in the case of the houses of Fon
tonelle and Corneille at Rouen, and of the one
also at Tloulngne, which I might have montion
ied before, whore the famous Gil Itias man, Lo
page, was not bom, but died; which, with the
f now men, of course, is all the same, let the
I'tvontv have credit for the
Skirfii. Sophist.—Tho Gorman papers
give an amusing account of the successful dex
terity of a young author at Berlin, who by the
skilful management of his powers of reasoning,
contrived to cany off two prizes which had
been offered by learned bodies for the best es
says upon the opposite sides of the same ques
tion. The subject in contention was that of
what is called the homir.opathic system in med
icine—a subject upon which the medical men
very generally throughout the continent appear
now to be fairly at loggerheads. The faculty of
medicine at Riga, it seems, lately offered a
prize of 100 ducats for the host treatisies upon,
and in favor of, the system in question. The
faculty of Medicine at St. Petersburg, on the
other hand, and about the same time, offered a
prize of GO golden Fredericks for tho strong
est proofs that it was a delusion. Under these
circumstances a smart young surgeon at Ber
lin stepped forward, and incognito to both, by
treating his subject to suit their different tastes,
succeeded in assuring the doctors of Riga
that eonirropathy w as not a system of quackery,
and of convincing those of St Petersburg that
it was. As the candidate-essays were anony
mous, and very little direct intercourse be
tween the two societies, it was of course not
known that the favorite reasoner cut with a
two-edged sword ; but now that the discovery
has been made, it has subjected those learned
doctors to very general banter* throughout
Germany,
Grrat natural Curiosity. Professor
Emmons, in his report on the Geology of tho
Northern Counties of New' York, thus de
scribes the appearance of a great curiosity in
the State.
“ ‘The Notch,’ about five miles from the Iron
works at Newcomb is next to the falls of Nia
gara, the greatest natural curiosity in the
state, and is well worth a visit from the lovers
of magnificent scenery. It is an immense
gorge or chasm furnishing a passage through
these high mountains. On one side a preci
pice of solid rock rises perpendipjjlary by
measurement, from 10 to 200 feet, and on the
other side a steep mountain attains an eleva
tion of 5000 feet—the north branch of the Hud
son, and the south branch of the Ausable, both
rise iu tills gorge, the former flow ing south,the
latter north, the tw 7 o streams being so near to
each other at these sources that during freshets
their waters mingle. Even the fragments of
rock, says the professor, lying in this notch
arc wonderful for size, one measured 41 feet
wide, and 34 feet high—it is quadangular in
form, and will weigh about 5000 tons, and is
only one among hundreds of the same size. It
is from facts like these that we learn what migh
ty forces have operated in former times.”
England— By an Englishman. The con
flict now going on, will, 1 verily believe, end
in the triumph of the Aristocracy. The mid
dling classes m-e afraid of revolution. Sir R.
Peel is the imn for the shopkeepers. The
rabble even like him better than they do Lord
Melbourne. The English arc so afraid of com
motion—real insurrection—real revolution and
bloodshed. The English love discussion—
love petitioning—love election banquets—and
conservatine or radical dinners —(both nearly
alike) —and if John Bull can but have a vent
for his spleen and ill humor, he will put np
with more insult, and pay more taxes, than any
other being under the sun. [O. P. Q’s Letter.

A Drunken Man Hanged ry Mistake.
We learn from the New* Hampshire States
man, that on Friday, the sth instant, tho neigh
bors of Samuel Carr, of Antrim, N. 11. were
called by an alarm of distress to his house.—
Two of them, very respectable gentlemen, en
tered the house, and found Carr heating his
wife w ith a chair, which he had nearly shatter
ed to atoms upon her person. They imme
diately secured the lawless and cruel monster,
tied his hands, and in order to secure him in ,
the house till the proper authority could lake ,
him in custody, they fastened a rope about his
neck, and secured it to some immovable object,
and wont in pursuit of tho municipal authori
ties of the town. Carr was left alone in a
room, where they found him on their return a
corpse! He had fallen down in such a man
ner, being drunk, as to produce strangulation.
No blame is attached to his neighbors, by those
acquainted with the circumstances.
A good story is told of a stranger in Paris,
who was standing lately at tho door of the
Opera Comiquo, waiting for admission, lie
felt a hand placed on his watch-pocket, imme
diately found that his watch was not there.—
Turning round to the person behind him, and
seizing him by the arm, he ordered him to re
turn his watch. The man immediately gave
him a watch and disappeared. On returning
home after the performance, the stranger was
much astonished to find his watch hanging up
in his room. He had forgotton to take it with
him, and had received from the thief the watch
of some other person, which had just been
stolen. *
New Proposition in Surgery. A cor
respondent of the New York Express, announ
ces his ability to cure consumption, by cutting
away the deceased lungs !
The reasons upon which tho writer in the;
Express founds his assurance of the feasibility ■
of this mode of cure, are: First—a man can;
breathe and retain his good health with one of
his lungs only. Secondly—nature sometimes i
effects a cure by drying up one of the lungs,!
and this is the only method in which she does
effect a cure. Thirdly—the operation is ncith- and
or difficult nor dangerous. And fourthly, the
diseased lung may he wholly removed, if neces
sary. ’ I j

E*lDaet of a letter to the editor, dated,
St. Augustine, June 1, 1837.
The Indians come into Tampa Bay ve
ry slowly, and indeed it is very doubtful
whether they can be all removed to their
destined abode before the fall of the year.
The numerous herde of cattle and horses
they possess, renders time indispensable
to collect them, besides the very accepta
ble rations at present issued to them from
the U. S. stores, induces me rationally to
conclude, that they are by no means anx
ious to emigrate. Peace we crave, plen
ty they have ; so let it be until the fall,
when they must and shall go. Paddy
Carr alias Major Paddy Carr, also his ser
geant, Wm Barnett, are here.—They
brought in about 150 head of cattle and
mules for sale which they captured from
the Seminoles. Paddy Carr is a dark In
dian about 40 years of age, sft 8 or 9 in.
handsomely proportioned, and muscular
in his person, very intelligent in conver
sation, and has no doubt received a good
education. Jle speaks our language with
fluency, is correct in his deportment and
rather polished in his manners; the latter
acquirement has obtained for him admit
tance into some of our most respectable
families—lie is fond of the society of the
ladies, and loses no opportunity to visit
them—in fact, for an Indian, he is nrara
avis. They both belong to the Regiment
of friendly Creeks now in the service of
tlie U. States.
No News. It is now a long time that
we are without news from Europe, espec
ially for this season of the year, while
there has been a considerable prevalence
of easterly winds. The next intelligence
is awaited with anxiety by the mercantile
community. The effect of the intelligence
in England of the disastrous state of af
fairs here, is yet to be learned, and the
question whether the heavy failures in
this country are to be followed by the
failure of important houses connected
with the commerce of this country, is yet
to be determined. There must also be
much uncertainty as to the effect which
the recent events may have had in various
olher ways. Many persons expect to hear
that the intelligence from this country will
have produced very important effects on
the state of affairs in England, and even
that the Bank of England may be under
the necessity of adopting the course of the
banks here in stopping specie payment.
We do not see sufficient reasons for ex
pecting such a result, though there can be
no doubt that the depression of commer
cial affairs here, will be very seriously felt
in its effects on the trade of Great Britain.

HAVING received a number of communi

ies respecting hiy Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, 1 take this method of an
swering them—l invite ail who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come-and see the opera
tion of tlie machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I hind myself to pay the expenses of his trig.—
1 do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having soon the machine ; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, 1 annex |kp
follow ing certificates, one of them signfcd by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Soutliern States. In my absence from*

We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith's new Brick Machine, inventedhy
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in resommending it to the
public. Tlie fact of its performance 13 its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands', it
made al the rate of two thousand three hund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day. it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six boys to bear off, and four tossed
the moulds, Ac together with four grow®
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make llie above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.’
