will astonish all Europe. This latter, intimation

,consi-
deration of the Executive Authorities, and that
the following are the duties proposed on several
commodities; viz. Tea, which was at 1000 liVres.
per quintal or curt. is reduced to 50 livres per cwt.;
Cottons, which .were sat 842 livres per quintal
cwt. are diminished to 42 livres per cwt. ; Clayed Su-
gars, 35 livres per cwt.; Coffee and Cocoa, 35 livres
per cwt. ; 1 aw Sugars, 15 livres per cwt. ; and
Indigo, two livres per.lb. Cotton, Woollen, and'
other manufactures, have not been mentioned.--.
lodia goods are noticed, and are'to be.admitted
into France, but the condition's on Which they are
to be introduced have not yet been determined.

manufactures,,will not materially differ from that
which ivas adhered to in 1786, when the duties
upon them were 12 and 10 per cent, and in one.
instance 5 per cent. but in the article of Saddlery,
15 per cent. ad valorem. -
