A recent circular from the French Minister of Commerce has

called the attention of the Chamber of Commerce to the low estimation in which the wines of Champagne are at present held in the United States, in consequence of frauds committed in the exportation. This communication has brought to light the fact that the Swiss send to the United States, through France, a quantity of fabricated wine of the Champagne class, and that in 1836 they exported thither 73,000 litres of wine of different sorts in this manner.—Galignani's Messenger.
