TJit Wtii Imlia Mail Contract Sytttm?Tki A'ica- 1
ragtui Que$H<m?'Die American Steamer*, fc. \ j
A good deal of interest is just now felt in the
mercantile world, at the probability that there
eeems to be of the West India Mail Packet Company
obtaining from the government a renewal of
their contract; and no wonder, for it is a well
known fact that advices Irom the west coast of
America, Vera Cruz, and varioui parts of the
West ladies, are continually anticipated via the
United .States, by the Cunard steamers, and in all
such cases the di?satiefaction is very great and
very reasonable. For my own part, I can conceive
nothing more monstrous than for the British go- i
vernment to venture upon such a step. A nioditiration
of the routes or circulation f.?r this mail
tervice has, it is true, been submitted iu the
columns of the Vimn, for the gu'libility of th"ae :
*hot>e ken cannot see through it; it it i-sctrrely
likely to go down. It is proposed, you will be
aware, that the company l?uild four n< w steliners,
of equal (mark tin word) power und soeed with
those of the Cun ?;d line, und of tonnage from 2,'MX)
to 8,000 each. Vt ry good Tb? -e -te un-r.s ?re to be

Been ginned by the acquittal of the deputy Jacu'iy, i
it Konigtberg, who ha* been tried oa the charge n
i>t high treason, for his liavin<r tiken pirt '
in the deliberations of the lite National A - in- <
t>ly, when that body had removed from i
Frankfort to ^tutgird. Tli* accas-itioa against I
Jacoby was principally founded on the spch*s
he had held in that assembly, and on th?* proclamation
to the German nation i-mied by the
latter and binned by him, in which all Pit* government?
of Germany which refused to c irry out tin
ree-olutu>ns uf the assembly, had been declired
puilty of treason ng-tinst the people. The i iiu?tice,
however, that he alone, though ooe ot the
principal leader* of the democratic party, should
be made responsible fi r the is of the \ 'ional
Assembly and for speeches he had made in hi < capacity
as rnoriber of the same, could not fiil t'?
cause the jury to return the verdict of not guilty. i
His acquittal is regarded as another defeat of tlie
government. similar to that it has suot iin-J ia the
trial of Waldeck.

have arrived nr that city, and the Archduke

We have received tiie following from the gentleman
to whom the letter was addressed : ?
A'iknna, October 12, 1S19.
On the 6ih inst., 1 embaiked at Venice, in the
tteHmcr which lay off that city, to leave, ut twelve
o'clock at night, for Trieste. My passport was
placi d in the hands of the clerk, to present the
Austrian officers who came on board to examine
the character of the passengers. I had retired to
bed, and was enjoying a deep sleep, when, at teu
minutes to twelve, was rudely awoke, with an
orcer, iou mutt per up, sir, utiu go na anon'.
? Why must 1 po on shore 1" I asked : an'! was
answered, " Your passport is not in order." When
entered the saloon, tnere were about thirty passengers
standing around several Ati.-rrian officers,
and my appearance in my night-gown, together
with the knowledge that I wan an American, attracted
the attention of all. Addressing myself to
the mperior officer, 1 s.iid, " Why, .-ir, arn I in this
rude manner awoke from my sleep, when you hold
my passport, properly visfcd at Merun, in Tyrol, hy
the h gnett authority, through to Trieste! And
you certuinly know, eo long a* I am travelling in
Austria, on the road to Trieste, I am not to he detained,
or subject to ether vises?" He replied,
" You mutt have it vi-ed l?y the military commander
of Venice." ' No. sir," I replied ; "tint
is not incumbent on me. Venice is a part of Austria,
end my vise carries me through every city,
frcm Tyrol to Trieste." He replied, " We have
no time to discuss the subject. \ ou are del lining
the boat, and you must g? ashore at once." In the
mildest language I could use, 1 solicited him to
ihanj:e that decision ; that my business made it
very important for me to be in Trieste the next
day ; that 1 was not leaving Austria, but entering
iheir capita), where, if I was u suspected person,
ihey would have me completely in their power.
The order was again re|>eated?" Go ashore at
once." folding my arms, I replied, " i will not go
ashore, unless you compel me t? do so by using
brute force ; and wo to the hand that is placed upon
me. 1 am, cmrlemen, au American citizen, have
complied wiih all the laws ol Austria, have a pimrt

I will not leave Venice till full and complete inlUrnnilieation
is obtained. As the Ci nnil of t!ie

(pressed their opinion* thai my passport waa perfectly

Afsumiog that from the Isthmus of Panama to

lOUtCS as follow to:?

miles, occupying 32 to 85 days, including the stoppegf-s
above referred to.
One glance ut this statement of the indirect route
and lieijuent stoppages of the royal mail steamers,
will lolly account for the reason why American
steamer* taking a direct route, a* follows, are enabled
to anticipate them : ?
( baicre* to Jamatoa. iiiilea 3
Jan aira to New Vork 7
Nb* York to Liverpool 1J

AtervKc detention at Now Vork. by reason of inturu.tui?te
arrirald 3
Total. <'ba#rea to Liverpool, na Sew York 2<i
or a laving in time ot from aeven to ten djvs
It cannot, therefore, br astonishing thit the New
York route is prelerred. What pausen2''r would
not wish to shorten his sea voyage a week or ten
days'?
The West India ttearnerB leave Chug res with :in
average freight of 1.000,000 dollars (t'rei|ieutly
more) forKngland. This amount may be expected
t-roitiy to be very much au^meateu by tne supplies
of u?Jd from ihe Culitornnui mines Cud it t?e exptt'U-il.
therefore, that the merchants, owning sucu
valuable remittances, wiil permit th? ir treasure to
be thioptd by the W?t India 8 tea me re, which,
with ihtse large sams on board, stay idling by t ie
way a day at Cartbsgenu; two, three, ami soinetimeB
f?ur days at Jamaica; a quarter of a day at
Havti and Porto Rico; twodiys at >St. Thomas,
and so on, when the insurance risk is greatly increased!
And is it not natural to expect that the
New York route, so much shorter an 1 more rapid,
will completely supersede the present West India
plan <>f intercourse with the isthmus, unit s:; uu alteration
be speedily arid ell't dually applied ?
A remedy may be devised whereby the whole of
these evils might be removed, and the trtllie now
almost entirely lost to or leaving the West India
MetniMs completely restored, if they were permitted
to take a direct route us follows :?
( bagret to St. Th' taan. miles 1,120
St Tbrraaft to Kajral 2,349
Kajal to Southampton 1.373
The total distance from Chagrsi to Sovthampton
would l>?*. say 4 742

Porto liieo. St. Thomas. and l-'ajal 6,080
Chaste* to Southampton, vta St. Thomat and
Kay a] 4 742

By employing steamers ?f the Cunnrd class, a
fortnight or ten day? would be the real saving in
time, while the New York route would he surpassed
in regard to the economy of time eflected.
The only alteration in the present arrangements
necessary to guard against a derangement in the
intercolonial service, would be the necessity of
having a branch steamer to bring up mails from
f?an Juan, Nicaragua, Carthagena, Jamaica, Sco.,
to ^t. Hicmas, there to ineet the direct steamer
from Chairres:?
The route outward to the isthmus pursued by
thrar steamers is still more objectionable ana
lr-ngtliy, t.nd if pricked out on the map, will probably
e.\cite a unile; it is as follows:?

From Southampton to the istbnuis. occupying !15
to i;tidays, w h* n, it the principle <>t a through or
trunk line, via St Thomas, were adopted, to which
other lines should be tributary. the distance would
be 4.74*2 miles, occupying 22 or 21 days, thus
etlectitifr a saving in distance of 1,108 miles, nnd
10 or 12 days in time, which would be principilly
accomplished by the fewer *topi>?gea and su;>erior
speed of steamer* under the new regulation* thus
ai-tumed.
In a national point of view, Great Britain ean
fiiiord that the advantages of a comnuiaicatiao
primarily < pent d and established by herself, and
f Mx ntial to her own mercantile prosperity, should
be diveried info another and rival chanael.
Vnlew aonie alterations are made, the Knglifh
steamers, compared with the American ships, will,
in railway parlance, be merely clow parliamentary
trains nirnii.g sgaipst express mails.
That this climax is likely to result, may be ga.
the red from the immense effort* now rmiking by
the Americans to increase mid extend their mercawile
steam marine. The building y?rd* of
New Vork are filled with stupendous steamers in
course of construction: and already many have
commenced running. The line of attaints between
Panama and San Francisco has been eminently
successful. The same may b>- said ol the
vessel* running in conjunction with them on this

the necessity of an independent trunk line to the
Isthmus of I'anHma (to which the other lin^a
shoald be feeder*,) and which should he carried
out by steamships of greater power, is the more
apparent when tykm in connection with the di?>
