stances, and increasing them in others. The
chief purpose of the law, however, seems
to be the encouragement: of lonian - shipping,
and the securing to the inhabitants of the
lonian States all the advantages of the coasting
trade in their respective islands, and of the trade
carried on between island and island. Oil and
currants, which may be called the staple commo-
dities of these islands, are permitted to be ex-
Ported -duty free. A wiser system of Govern-
Iraent seems to dawn upon the lonian Islands,
and vre trust will remove any unfavourable im-
pression a former less enlightened policy might
leave made. The increased activity given to
agricultural pursuits by the removal of the duties
on the exportati'on of oil and currants induces us
to hope.the most beneficial results from this wise
and no less equitable measure.

The Gazette of Corfu contains a remarkable law,JuLT passed in
the second Session of the second Parliament of the lonian
Islands, entitled, " Act of Parliament for the gradual Aboli-
tion of Feudal Tenures.
PREAMBLE.—" It being one of the principal objects of the
Govanon ernment to encourage a
ci griculture, and experience having
strated that one of the greatest impediments to its pro-
greas is the existence of property rendered inalienable by means
of feudal restrictions, therefore, with a view to pia an end to
this evil, increasing at the same time the prosperity of the State
and of private person?, by authority of his Excellency the Pre-
sident and of the Most Illustrious Senate, with the assent and
advice of the most noble Legislative Assembly of the lonian
Islands, in this second Session of the second Parliament, and
'with the approbation of his Excellency the Lord High Corn.
zliasioner of the Sovereign Protector, it is ordained and enacted
as follows."
The law itself, in seven short articles, provides for the aboli-
tine, and partly immediate, partly gradual, of all feudal tenwres
et restrictions hindering or impeding the alienation of landed

The Dutch and Flanders Mails have brought
us but very little intelligence of public interest,
and we have therefore no extracts to offer to our
Readers. Letters from Brussels say that there

from Madrid. One of the reports put in circula-

disorders in the bowels are very prevalent
at %Madrid, and attack strangers in parti-
