We extract from the Frankfort Journals of the
L
d instant the following regulations respecting
ff the sale of salt in the Rusian Empire:—

PETERSEURGII, JAN. 18.—The following order has been
published here:—
" Desiring to afford to our faithful subjects all possible faci-
lities for the acquisition of an article so indispensable as salt,
by the advice of the Council of the Empire we ordain-
1. The salt produced in the Empire shall be sold wholesale
and retail in warehouses of the Crown, at a reduction of from
to 40 copecs per pood, according to the situation of the
springs, that of the Governments which derive their supply
from them, and the facilities of conveyance. The reduction
shall take place according to the table annexed of the prices of
salt for 1825, published by our express command. The Crown
will bear the loss caused by this measure.
2. For the benefit of the Governments in the Baltic and
those adjacent, the import duties on foreign salt are diminished
10 copecs in silver per pood in the ports of Esthoria, Lithuania
and Courland, and in the town of Narva: no change is made
for the ports of St. Petersburgh, of the Government of Arch-
angel, and for the Custom-houses on the land frontier, because
salt produced in the Empire may easily be procured there.
" We hope that our faithful subjects will see in this mea-
sure, which diminishes the revenue of the salt-works by about
three millions of rubles, a new proof of our paternal solicitude.
" Given at St. Petersburgh, Dec. 8, 1024, the 21st year of
our reign. " ALEXANDER."
