PAPER C.
PROJET OF FRANCO-AMERICAN NAVIGATION.
Mr. Wm. Iselin, of Havre, kindly furnished me the following:
"The French Government has offered the following contracts:
"Havre to New-York, 26 voyages a year, fr.3,100,000, or $620,000.
"Bordeaux to Rio Janeiro, touching at Lisbon, Goree, Bahia, or
Pernambuco, and a branch line from Rio Janeiro to Montevideo and
Buenos Ayres, 24 voyages a year, fr.4,700,000, or $940,000. The
Government now requires 13 departures from Bordeaux and 13 from
Marseilles at the same price.
"Nantes to St. Thomas, thence to Guadalupe, and thence to
Martinique, with the following branch lines:
"No. 1. St. Thomas to St. Martha or Carthagena, and thence to
Aspinwall.
"No. 2. St. Thomas to Porto Rico, thence to Havana, Vera Cruz, and
Tampico.
"No. 3. From Martinique to Cayenne.
"The subvention offered is fr.6,200,000, or $1,400,000.
"The total amount of subvention offered for the 3 lines is
therefore 14 millions of francs per annum, or $2,800,000.
"The Messageries Imperiales have given a tender for the Brazil
lines.
