DUTIES at GIBRALTAR SUS PENDED

(From London Gazettes)
FOREIGN OFFIOE, AUG. 8. —A despatch, dated the.lsth
of July, 1837, has been received by the Right Hon. Vis-
count Palmerston, G.C.R., her Majesty's Principal Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, from George Villiers,
Esq., her I‘l,ljest3's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary at Madrid, ttansmilting a noto from the
Spanish Government, of which the following is a transla-
tion, suspending the Royal Order of July 13, 1830, which
imposed exceptional duties up6n vessels proceeding from
Gibraltar :

(TRANSLATION.)
" Sir,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint you that,
ac-
cording to a communication made to me by the Minister of
Finance, on the 13th instant, the August• Queen Regent
having been informed of the report drawn up, in conse-
quence of the representation which you made in your notes
of the Ist of January and 20th of April of this year, for
the abolition of the exceptional duties which are imposed
upon goods coming from Gibraltar, and conveyed in
Spanish vessels ; and her Majesty, bearing also in mind,
on the one band, the motives of public utility which dictated
the Royal Order of July 13, 1830, and the political con-
siderations which determined the issuing of the Royal De-
cree of Dec. 2, 1834 ; and considering, on the other hand,
the generous and most important services which the British
Government has afforded, and is still affording, to the na-
tional cause in the present contest, has been pleased to re-
solve, in conformity with the opinion of the Council of
Ministers, that, for the present, and without prejudice to
what the Cortes may determine upon the system of customs
and tariff, the observance of the 4th article of the said
Royal Order of July, 1830, be suspended with respect to
vessels proceeding from Gibraltar in the same terms in
which, by the Royal Decree of Dec. 2, 1884, it was sus-
pended as regards vessels proceeding from Bordeaux,
Bayonne, Marseilles, and other intermediate ports of
France, in order that by this means the treaties may be ful-
filled which exist with England, who has the right, accor-
ding to them, to be treated in Spain as the most favoured
nations.—l avail myself, See.

ADMISSIO-N___OF -i3RITISH COAL

INTO SPAIN.

(From the London Gazette.)
FOREIGN OFFICE, AUG. 8.--A despatch, dated the 29th
of July, 1847, has been received by the Right Hon.
Viscount Palmerston, G. C. 8., her Majesty's Principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from George Vil-
liers, Esq., her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary at Madrid, transmitting a note from
the Spanish Government, of which the following is a trans-
lation, respecting the admission into certain Spanish ports
of foreign coal, for the use of foreign steam-boats :
(TRANSLATION.)
" Sir,—The Minister of Finance has just made me the
following communication :

" I have laid before the Queen Regent the information
lately obtained in consequence of the reiterated representa-
tions of the British Minister at this Court, and of the
French Charge d'Affaires, requesting the revocation of the
Royal Order of the 9th of April last,whieh modified that of the
31st of January of the preceding year, respecting the ad-
mission of foreign coal ; and her Majesty, desirous, on the
one hand that no difficulties be placed in the way of the
navigation of steam-vessels, whether national or foreign,
but on the contrary, that every facility compatible
with the • protection and encouragement which our
own mines require be afforded ; and, on the other
hand, of giving another proof to our faithful allies that
the Spanish Government, naturally grateful, is not una-
ware of the important services which, in support of the na-
tional cause, are afforded by the vessels charged to guard
our coasts ; her Majesty has been pleased to resolve that,
although the 3d article of the above-mentioned Royal Or-
der of the 9th of April last declares duty free the foreign
coal which, without being landed in our ports, is kept on
board and consumed by the steamers, they shall for the pre-
sent be allowed to have two deposits in the Mediterranean,
which are to be Barcelona and Alicant, and two others on
the sea-coast, Cadiz and Corunila, upon the payment of
two per cent., and the officers of the customs to have a key ;
for this article, without ceasing to be in the free air, can be
placed in huldit:gs which the masters of the steamers can
provide themselves, and thus they will have a deposit cor-
responding to their consumption. All this to take place
without detriment to the ameliorations which the General
Direction and its Junta Consultiva have proposed, in order
that they may be submitted to the Cortes for examination
and discussion, to whom also immediate communication will
be made of this provisional measure, which circumstances
have obliged the dictation of.
:" I have the honour to make the above communication
to you, in reply to the note which you were pleased to ad-
dress to me upon this subject, and avail m. 3 self, &e.

FAIIIONABLE SWINDLING.

A few days ago, two ycung men of distinguished ap-
pe :ranee, accompanied by a lady of -remarkable personal
at'ractions, alighted from a splendid travelling caleche at
onl of the first Hotels in Paris. A valet and a femme de
chamhre formed •the snit of the trio, who, accordink to tho
postillion's statement, had literally showered gold en tho
:road with rattle prodigality of the English of the giod alai
times, when John. Bull scattered his guineas by handru:s
between Calais and Paris. With a profound °beim:Le
" mine host" conducted his guests to the best apartments
in the house, and bowed and shrugged his acknowledp
ments for the honour conferred on him in the preference
given to his lintel by such distinguished visitors. After a
few days spent in seeing the lions of the metropolis, the
two male exquisites who figure in our narrative stopped irk
a dashing tilbury at the shop of M. Oubtille, a well-know:,
eller on the Quai Conti, and, hating alighted, 01.11 '.red
into a negotiation with hint for a complete set, of bril,
liants for the elder of the two strangcrln Whose siatt4
was 6n the eve of marriage in London. To expedite the
arrangement of the business, a drawing of the necklace,
bracelets, &c., required was produced; and after some parley
between the contracting parties as to the choice of this diamonds, the price, setting, and other particulars, the rosti-
ter was neatly adjusted, the ?welter agreeing to er,:cuto
the order for 60,000 E, and the strangers consenting to his
terms, on conditinti. that the brilliants were to be ready
in a fortnight. It was alp agreed that the strancers were
to call agaiii in about a week, to examine the diamonds
with their sister-in-law, who had accompanied them to
Paris, and on whose judgment in such eases they. had
plac,cl implicit reliance. Within the period specified for
their re-appearance, a carriage, the panels of which were
decorated with v.n Earl's coronet, stopped at the jeweller's
door, and the strangers again honoured his shop with their
presence, and were shown to the drawing-room, accompa-
nied this time by a h.dy dressed in the first style of ele-
gance and fashion. The diamonds were again paraded and
ni:nutely examined and criticised by the lady. Several of
them were charged at her suggestion, but,. ere inspec-
tion had tertninated, the band of a de6achtLent of the
National Guards, marching to do duty_ at the Tuileries,
was heard in the immediate neighboirfriood. The Indy,
who seemed particularly partial to military music, rushed
to, the window. The gentlemen did the same. 'The
complaisant and overjoyed jeweller could do no less
than follow his distinguished customers, and, for a few
moments, the whole party were . stationed at the balcony
looking on the quay, The guard having passed, the jewel-
ler and his customers again attended to business ; a final
selection of the 'diamonds was. made ; the whole were to be
delivered in less than another week ; the price agreed upon
was to be paid in ready money ; the bargain was conch:del,
and the strangers took their departure. Chuckling with
delight at the negociatiou which lie had comluctra with
such diplomatic skill, the jeweller proceeded put his
house in-order" and to arrange the diameadr, which had
been rejected by his new customers, to his inexpres-
sib!e dismay, ice missed several brilliar,ts of high price. He
immediately ran to the address given'by the strangers, and
bad the mortification to find tnat their names and persons
were totally unknown. Irlormation of the robbery having
been given to the police, it was ascertained that several
other robberies had been committed the same parties
under precisely similar circumstances. The swindlers, how-
ever, were- ultimately arrested through the vigilance of the
police, and in their possession was found a considerable
quantity of valuable diamonds and precious stones, several
of which have since been claimed by different jewellers of
the capital. A vast quantity of unclaimed jewellery, how-
ever, still remains,. and, from.-this'eireumstatice, it is evi-
dent that the parties arrested must have exercised their-vo-
cation in London, er,some other capital, previously to their
arrival in Paris. The swindlers, named Ulmann and Marx
Levy, with their wives, who seem also to have been their
partners in trade, have been fully committed for trial. .
