Dune at Munich, May 30, (LS.) (Signed) LEWIS, Crows Prince. NUREMBERG; JULY Id. Several public papers hive frequently spoken of the hardships suffered by many of the countries on the Rhine. and a great part of the rest of °moony, in consequence of the obstacles opposed by the Netherla►►ds to foreign trade. Several of the Prus sian provinces (Rhenish) are especially affected by the neighbourhood of the Belgic frontier, and of the line of custom-bouses long since established there. Some exports and imports are entirely prohibited ; many, and among these yarn, subject to a duty of 8 per cent. on the value, soul almost every thing to • ►lroit de balance. Even goods coming froin fu reign countries pay a heavy transit duty. Thus a steam•eagine, ordered a few months ago from England, by a manufacturer on the Rhine, had to pay iu the kingdom of the Netherlands 500 florins fur transit duty alone. Those duties are • g re a t I trance to trade, and paralyze all commer. coil activity ; the burdens are ►ende►ed still more oppressive by the chicanery of the Belgic douauiera, who in every respect go far beyond their colleagues of French stamp, with whom we formerly had to do; this is saying a great deal, but it is too true. By these obstacles, trade particularly has suffered so much, that on the high roaJ from Liege to Co. logile, where you might formerly meet hundreds of loaded waggo►►s, you now very rarely meet with 'Phis has even obliged the flamers of the tolls ou tin, road to petition the Belgian Government f.r reduction of the sum they hate contracted to pay. Many goods from Fiance. intended fur Germany. which formerly went through Brabant to Cologne. now take the much longer and worse mold by Saartonck, Treves, and Cottlenrt, in order to avoid at any rate coming in contact with the Belgic fron tiers. Numerous urgent reprearintations have been nude to the Pcussise Government at Aix-la- Chapelle. The general wish ia, that measures may he adopted to compel the Belgians to aholi.h the import duties out Prussian prodactions. Holland and Belgium are boonded from the north side to the neighbourhood of Saerbrnik by the Prussian States. All goods from the Netlferlands to the in terior of Germany. Switierland. and Upper Italy, must absolutely pass through the Prussian domi nions. By threatening to ose reprisals and threats, will not do; establishing a tine of thstoin-houses on tilt Prussian frontiers. with a tad** modelled after !kit or Belgium, might attain the desired end. fehas also been proposed to lay a heavy transit duty (for example. 10 per cent. on colonial good.) upon all Belgian articles passing through the Prussian Rhenish province*. Such urea-tires might convince the Belgic Government that from the geographical situation of the cou.stries, Belgium and Holland are more dependant on Prussia than Punkt on them.--( ithreadberg Correspondent, Jaty 14.) r 7 I 1 (' liimt.
