THE TRADE WITH BRAZIL.—The official paper of
Rio, received by the last, packet, contains a decree reducing
the oppressive anchorage duties on British and all other
foreign vessels. from 90urs. per ton to 30Ors ; or, in English
money, f ore 2s. a ton to Si. This is a very valuanle con-
cession, and will be felt to be a great relief by all shipowners
engaged in the trade with Brazil lc is pleasant to see the
obstacles, which a mistaken policy bas opposed to the inter-
course of nations, thus disappearing one by one. England,
which has taken the lead in freeing commerce and navigation
from its fetters, having a greater commerce, by from fifty to
sixty millions a year, than any other nation in the world,
will, in the end, be the greatest gainer by the removal of ob-
stacles to the intercourse of notions.--Liverpool Times.
