" With respect to the external relations of the customs
union, both the ducal Governments unite in conft.te-ing
upon Austria the power to negotiate for the common
weal, in extending to the french r between Parma and
Sardinia the convention already existing with Ser-
dinia, with a view to • the suppression of smuggling
on the common border; and Austria is further em-
powered to negotiate. similar conventions, and con

meats, which will tend to wiclon the -sphere of commer-
cial operation, benefit trade and commerce, or augment
the revenues of the state. It remains, however, optiocal

that mischief has ensued, and two failures of importance
aro announced. One defalcation conceini a gentleman
now abroad, who was ',so injudicious, although it is cer-
tainly often done, as to leave power with another to
operate for bins, and 12,0001., it is said, will not

otli .'acing, however, is charged with something
more serious, viz., with misappropriation, and it
