LONDON, MONDAY; JuNs V. ISO.

The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. The only

vlbject of domestic interest is the progress made by M. de

VII.I.LLE in the conversion of the rentes. The Minister
is straining every nerve to carry his point; but it is clear
that he will fail. The new Three per Cents. continue to
rise ; but the only purchases are made for the Sinking
Fund, and as the stock is very limited in extent, the seller
can obtain what price he pleases.
The intelligence from Portugal is favourable to the
wisdom and liberality of the present Ministry. By the
inquence of this country they bare been induced to begin
a sstem of commercial policy calculated to revive the in-
dustry and promote the welfare of the Portuguese people.
We stalijoin the extract cantaining an account of the Royal
Edict on this occasion.
The correspondence from Madrid, in these papers, men-
tions the departure of M. Acts AGRO, the Spanish Commis-
. sion.A., for London. The project of a forced loan, it is
stated, was too ruinous even for the Government of FER-
DIN AND. The late Vi:teroy of Peru, LASERNA, was to
leave Bayonne on the 19th, on his return home. Wagers
had been laid that he would be put upon his trial a week
after his arrival at Madrid.

LISBON, JUNE 8.
[Pitrtarx CONNEIPONDENCE.I
The influence of the English policy is more and more felt in our
councils, and produces In the sets of our government results advan-
tageous to our commerce and our manufactures. Our Cabinet has
just taken the first step to renounce the system of absolute prohi-
bition which kept from our ports a great part of the ships of Eu-
rope. A duty of 39 per cent. is established in the room of complete
exclusion in a vast number of articles, the consumption of which
has become indispensable, and which could not be procured except
by smuggling.
Such are silks, ornaments, tissues worked with gold or silver,
, laces, false stones, and beads of all colours, cloths. stuffs, of all
cauctries, except those of England and Holland. Henceforward,
cumpetitims will be open to all nations, and the consumer will gain
by it. These measur, s brought into harmony with our new rela-
tions wiet Brazil, cannot fail to raise our commerce from the state
of stagnation, or rather of nullity, to which it is reduced.
The preamble of the Edict, which introduces a more reasonable
system, deserves to be quoted, as it is calculated to show the new
spitit which animates the Government. It is as follows.—
" I, the King, make known to all those who shall see the present
Edict, that considering the inconveniencies which result from retain-
ing laws, the enactments of which were salutary when they were
adapted to the usages. customs, and circumstances of the times of
their publication, but which have become incompatible with the
nor usages and wants, which the course of time has introduced into
afieicty, think fit and order the following to be obsorved :"
This is assuredly the same doctrine that has lately been as-
serted in the House of Commons, by Messrs. Canning, Peel, and
Iluskirson.
The several articles follow :
Article I recapitulates the prohibitory laws and ordinances:
in the 2d, are excepted some articles compmed in those laws and
ordinances, among which are sword canes, pocket pistols, sod all
kinds of spiritous liquors. Article 4is the most important. " Thel
same articles," it says, '• which were prohibited, and which are at,
this moment admissible in the two ports of Lisbon and Oporto,
shall pay the duty and imposts in the ports in which they shall
enter, according to the regulations laid down to that effect at present
(35 per rent.) or which shall be in force in future. The duties shall
hr paid according to the estimates made of the price on the day
when they are despatched from the Custom-house, or by auction
which may be made for the greater security and regularity of the,
payments.
Art. 5 extends to the Azusa, Madeira, and the Cape de Vend
Islands. the remilations laid down for Lisbon and Oporto.
Another Edict, of the same date, suppresses the duty on the ix.
