The Belgians are more a manufacturing than a commercial people, and the above company seemed averse to enter into any engagements as regards the management of steamships. Mr. King then directed his attention to France, in addressing a memorial to the French Minister of Commerce. --He succeeded in inducing the French Government to change the law granting a subsidy for a Northern line to New York, and substituting Savannah for New York, and extending a Southern line from Bordeaux to the West Indies, to the same port.
