Went to a prohibition. But this, without doubt,
will not be found to be the case: for Bortaraere
is convinced of two things ; grit, of the wants of his
awaTreasury ;and, 2dly, of the great want in which
the whole Continent is of all articles of Colonial
and East India produce. He lass been informed
of the hies price paid for those *deletes by the peo-
ple of the Continent, when, la spite of sit his De-
crees and Doraniers, they were introduced into
every part of the Continent ; sad he has probably
regulited Isis tarif by those prices. !fence, in the
first instance, or in the first fever of importation,
the duties, be thialte, will be paid, and his
eon coffers replenished, not only by the duties
upon importation, but by the duties which will

,he high price of the import duties--his subjects

they sib be enabled to do so by the sale of coin-
marlines which they could not sell before this De-
,,,e. If, as we hear, they have tan and three years'

nail they have got rid of the snicks, the
dice of France, of which they bare a sevenths's-
dant stock on bond. Then, indeed, when they
hire no more than the produce of the year ou hand;
• r,hrm, in consequence of the large importations,
they will not be in such utter distress for East India
and Colouial produce as they are at present, then
tilt import duties would be felt as inordinately high.
oar:pins have accordingly been made
to a rant amount, with a view to profit by the in-
cieso4 demand likely to arise from so great an
secession of consumers. All articles of Colonial
Produce have risen considerably. Sugar advanced
five shillings per cwt. ; it is even said, that some
kirsch evprrienced an advance of ten shillatige; end
mike, five shillings ; and unless these speculations
be premature and excessive, the sales of the ludic
Company will experience a proportionate rise.
