Tobacco for the French Government.

--We learn that James Gray's Sons, merchants of this city, have been awarded, over a number of competitors, the contract for buying Tobacco in the Richmond market for the French Government. The firm named are the subagent foreparts in New York, who have the whole contract for the United States. The Tobacco trade is a monopoly with the French Government, to which it yields yearly a revenue of about thirty-five million of dollars. The profit on the Richmond contract must be in the neighborhood of $20,000.
