has succeeded in negociating a new tarif for duties
on exportation ; in virtue of which, the ancien
system of Bestrictions is removed, and all article
of Swedish produce may be freely exported from
this country in British as well as in Swedish vesiels,
without any limitation as to quan►ity, which was
heretofore the cane. The Swedish Government was
desirous that these privilege■ should be purchased
by reciprocal modifications of the Navigation Act
on our part, but we are happy to find that bud
Stratigford has successfully resisted all changes of
that nature. IVe are now beginning to hope that
the British influence here, and the indefatigable ex-
ertions of our I ite Minister, may produce the adop-
tion by tl►is Government of more liberal principles
iu matters of commerce ; which would be equally
beneficial to itself, and to the fair and honourable
trader.
