and the city of Savannah, or other portam this

te«y and distinction, and much gratified to find
a most friendly sentiment towards our country,
which I beliesfi.to bft^gan±ral In Belgium, and

of the Independence of the Southern Confed
*TSer remaining in Belglnm some two w«ki,
I proceeded u>Pari* for the purpose of opening
negotiations with a French Company which had 1
taken A contract under the Government, for a
very lai^e subsidy, to establi.-h two lines of
fir at clafft •eeau steamers—one from Havre to
New York, and one from Bordeaux: to the West
Indies. My object was to induce the company
to bring the Northern line to Savannah, and to
extend the Southern line to New Orleans. I
also commenced correspondence with Epglisb
Houses connected with steam navigation: I
found among all parties the most diecouraging
ignorance oi the great advantages presented by
tie Bbut itern States for direct commercial In
tercourse wTlli'thedh* apd a prevailing belief
that New York was thstonly port which offered
emtattie encouragement to steam cpmiflutjlc*-
tion with the North^American "continent I
therefore found it ptpessary to act under ^onr
instructions to explain the commercial re'a-
tlona hitherto existing between the Southern
and Northern States of the late Union*.and that
I must seek to change the opinions of individ
uals by- communication# addreieed to their
Governments Thli»IfobPd to be no easy task.
The data whichT required - was not readily ob
tained. On exaraiug.several libraries in Lqodon
I found the United States censes of 1850, sev
eral State returns of a later date, and the Brit
ish trade reports. From these I. framed ay
letter to the F.eoch Minister of Commerce,
which yon will find in the Appendix matked A.
This letterY had printed in pamphlet form, aa
you will see. I capped tiro-copies, one In
French and one in English, to be placed in the
uandgof the Emperor, and I distributed three
thousand copies or the pamphlet. I sect copies

Aside from thetomediate object of its pub

securing the Uro French lines referred to, to

It is shown by the bill rendered by Mr. King
that his aciusl expense of llvinr, traveling, and
preparing and publishing the papers referred
to, baa been $5,900, being four hundred dollars
morh than has been paid t* him; and the Com

he be allowed the sum of twenty-fiye hundred

iu accomplishing that ol ject. On the first day
'NO * .-.l...
of November I clo-ed and aigned a contract
with Mr. Frederick fifabel, of Liverpool, which
please find in Appendix marked J’,. This con
tract ie, of course, subject to i.ne. approval of
your Excellencj, and also of tij-^ Legislature-
New Orleans and Charleston are eo much better
knowu in Europe as iraportaat commercial
ports, than Savannah, I fonnd It, for a long
time, quite Impossible t > obtain any consider*
lion of the proposals I was authorized to make,
while various attempts were made to organize
companies tor the puqpoge of establishing lines
of steamers to the former porta, la feet, had
I not been aided ly the ealculatkma and argu
ments .contained in my report to the Legisla
ture on the measage ot jour ExceUencFin 1S30,
and the statements in my letter to EarlKnssell
showing the y§st advances Which will result
from direct commercial intercourse between
Europe and the Cotton Stales, I should have
found it .impossible to induce parties to think
of bringing a line of steamers to 8»vannah.
The whole arifject Is now ■o'well understood,
however, I am of opinion that it will not be a
long time after the removal.of the blockade
before steam communication 1 will- be opened
with most,.if not all, pnr .principal ports, and
it is therefore fftri the wisdom oi your ExceU
lencyand the Legislator* uv decide whether or
not it ia dealrable to secure to Georgia the lead
in a matter Of so much Importance,, by con
firming ihe contract herewith' - submitted, with
or without modifications. We may loon, walk
confidence, to the .estaWisbrncnt of the French
line as soou as the ships can be built, which, as
they are to be of the largest class, will probably

ple, at an early day, to seek profits in uiarMfee,
manufacturing and comm rcial pursuits. Tf'y,
therefprg, fought the early' protection • f;«.he
Government. Duties were laid on foreign ion**
nage coming into the ports ot lbe United Stiee,
and foreign vessels were 1 xclnded from all par
ticipation in.the c aatiog trade ; and, asseanen
were necessary to supply the Increasing tom age
of the Northern Stutei; large bounties 1 ere
offered to those who engaged In the cod
mackerel fisheries, on the plea that it va3
necessary to estallieh a nursery or ecboo for
seamen tor national maritime defense. Dasicg
the wa»- with Great Britain, which commenced
in 18L2, tftohii mabufactoring establlshorints
sprung up%fl over N«w Ei.gland, and a the
close of that contest, the proprietors of tiose
works applied to Congr^s for the enactf ent
of a protective tariff. Under the pretex ,sud
plea tha^J^vculd be wise policy to scc£e a
home supply in the event of another war, and
. that without protection they could not c-'tfipete
with the skilled industry of Englandjand

out of the necessity which compelled him to
remain much longer than -wse contemplated,
and the erpenee incarre* In the poblieallon of-

which it is believed were productive of much

lract‘proposed by.the law of Gf Qrgia, the bnsi-_
ness would have been soon completed, and the
•am appropriated for the com mission would
have been amply sufficient to defray all ex
pentes. But as test company declined to take
the contract, it became necessary to seek otb*r
parties. The war which commenced with the
bombardment of Fort Snmtey, snd iu subse

merchan.s and csplullsts. that much delay pnd

to remark, that atihougfe I retnrkeffaa soofi ns
the performance of ffiy dntied and circum

In my* retorn by w*y of the West Indies. It is,
perhaps, not improper for me to allnde to the
leet that the Commissioners of the Confederate

month, and that they did not Incur the expense
of pamphlet and newspaper publication which
fell aq heavily upon mjselt They were also
