The St. Petersburg Gaeette publishes an important
ukase of the Imperial Senate, by which the privileges
of Odessa, as a free port, which expired on the let in-
stant, are prolonged for a furtner period of five
years—i. e., to the 15th August, 1854. The tariff re-
mains as heretofore, but there ere some alterations in
the duties on imports levied rot the use of the city,
which formerly were one-fifth ; but on the 15th
August next, all goods then in bond, and subse-
quently arriving, shall henceforth pay two fifths, ex-
cept on wine, tea, and sugar, which .hell pay three-
fifths ; and tobacco, arrack, rum, brandy, and all other
ardent spirits, shall be subject to the full duty as

heretofore.
Another imperial ukase prolongs the privileges of
foreign small boats and vessel', not carrying more
than 10 lute, to engage in the coasting trade along
the east coast of the Black Sea, from Anapa to Fort
St. Nicholas inclusive for three years more, i. e. to
the 7th March, 1883. An alteration has likewise
taken place in the quarantine laws of the port of
Odessa. The quarantine, with free papers, is to con-
tinue four days, and in case of a death on board, six
day,. Vessels from Anatolia are to be eight days in
quarantine ; and vemele from Egypt, unless theyl
have passed their quarantine at Constantinople, are
to pus it at Odessa daring the number of days which
is quoted in former decrees.
