NEAPOLITAN DECREE PROHIBIT
ING THE EXPORTATION OF GRAIN.

The following is a translation of a decree published in the
Naples Gazelle of the Ist inst., prohibiting the exportation
of grain and pulse from the kingdom of the Two Sicilies ;
" Having perused with much attention the reports made
to us by the Ministers for the Home Department, regarding
the short crops of grain and pulse in our kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, and likewise the report respecting the export
that has already taken place, and is still in progress, which
may be followed by serious evils to the public subsistence ;
• " Having further observed the high prices paying for all
sorts of grain, we have, by the advice of our Secretary of
State for the Home Department and the ordinary Council
of State, resolved to issue the following decree, viz.:--
" 1. The export of all kinds of grain and pulse is hereby
suspended, in consequence of our Royal determination, from
all our Royal dominions, from the date of the present decree.
" 2. Our Secretaries of State for the home Department
and Finance, each according to the virtue of his office, is to
see that this decree is signed and enforced.
(Signed) " FERDINANDO.
" Palermo, 27th November, 1838."

The ENGLISH in the PERSIAN GULF

(From the Gazette de Smyrne.)
The ancient town of Aden, capital of the small kingdom
of which it bears the name, in the Yemen, is paced by the
geographers in the Gulf of Aden, outside the Red Sea.
The new town of the Aden, by which name the English
have just christened it, is at the mouth of the Red Sea, in
the Straits of Babelmandel, a bay sufficiently spacious- to
contain a fleet and an infinite number of merchantmen of
all sizes, and which offers always a safe asylum against the
storms so frequent in these latitudes. This bay is open to
the N.W., and comes up to the town.

To the south of the bay, at a very little distance, and to-
wards the middle of the strait, is the small island of Perim,
the true gate of the Arabian Gulf, which the English fortified
in 1799, and which they appear to wish to make a second
Gibraltar. They are actively working at the fortifications of it,
as well as on those of Aden, and when they snail be finished,
the English will be able to monopolize the commerce of this
sera. Even already a great many vessels of that nation make
a considerable traffic by it of arms and ammunition, on the
coast of Abyssinia as well as on those of Arabia Felix. It is
in the direction of Mocha especially that their operations
have attained to a considerable extension. All the Mocha
coffe which formerly went to Egypt is, at present, export-
ed by them to England. It is now nearly four months
since that the English have taken possession of Aden, the
acquisition of which cost them but the moderate sum of
thirty thousand talari. It was a scheik, or chief of a
tribe whose name is not known, who sold it to them for
that sum, and who after having given it up to them, re-
tired with his followers into the interior of Arabia ; for
one of the principal clauses in the bargain was the retire-
ment of the scheik to a certain distance from Aden.

It is not known what is the extent of the territory depen-
dent or acquired round the city, neither is the force of the
garrison which has been established there known. It is
certain that the English Government seems to attach great
importance to this new acquisition. Latterly it notifie to
Mehemet Ali, by means of its Consul-General in Egypt,
that he must give particular orders to his troops nut to
approach Aden, under pain of seeing such violation of ter-
ritory severely punished, and that it would be looked upon
as an act of hostility against England.
_ _ _

On the other hand the British Government has within
the last year named numerous agents on all the principal
points of the shores of the Red Sea. At this very moment
they are preparing a consular regulation which is intended
to fix the powers of each of those functionaries according to
the grade and importance of the post they occupy.
The East India Company, which bas always seconded the
Government in all its enterprises has not been found wanting
in this circumstance, when their interests are most at stake.
They have already expended considerable sums in the con-
struction of the projected railroads between Suez and
Cairo, and in the establishment of two inns, which are
nearly finished, one at Suez, the other about half way
to Cairo. While waiting the commencement of the rail-
road, they talk of repairing the road, and of establishing
between Suez and Cairo, for the conveyance of passengers
and merchandise, diligences which will perform the journey
in 24 hours, instead of four days as hitherto.

abated since our last, which might have been expected, consi-
dering the extensive purchases which have been made of late.
Grocers as well as Refiners have purchased very sparingly,
1. and the quantity disposed of by private contract during the
three days amount to only 1,100 hbds and tierces, nearly all
of which was sold by one party, and were principally taken
for Bristol and Hull. Importers, however, remain firm, and
the advanced rates of last week have been supported for
both brown and yellow descriptions. Two public sales of Bar-
badoes, consisting of 237 hhds, 11 tierces, 36 has went at full
prices, and all were disposed of, fine at 67s 6d a 68s, good
653 a 66s 6d, good mid 63s 6d a 64s 6d, mid 62s a 635, one
lot ord 59s 6d. Privately good dry brown and greyish (with
a few better on the same board) St. Lucia, Antigua, and Tri-
nidad have been sold at 583 to 595; St. Vincent's and Do-
minica ditto with more strength 59s to 60s, low middling to
good middling from the different colonies 61e to 665, and of
the finer description hardly any are to be met with. The
letters received from several of the West India Islands speak
favourably of the crops, but on several of the estates the
negroes were working reluctantly.
This afternoon there was again only a limited demand either
for the scale or refining, but importers remain firm, and have
obtained previouk rates for all descriptions ; the total quantity
sold for the week is 2,000 hhds and trs.
REFINED.—The grocers in the early part of the week were
free buyers, and previous rates were fully supported, Lumps
equal to the standard selling at 765, but during the last two
or three days the demand has slackened, and the transactions
have been limited : in common as well as in the better de-
scriptions prices, however, remain firm. For shipping there
has been nothing doing, and the price for double crushed is
still uncertain. Pieces and Bastards have been taken less
freely, but previous rates have been maintained. The demand
for Treacle has been limited, but late rates have been sup-
ported. For 200 hhds Dutch crushed 32s 6d has been ac-
cepted.
MAURITIUS.—In the early part of the week there was a good
demand by private contract both from grocers and refiners,
and 3,309 bags at public sale were sold at prices fully
up to those of Friday last, low yellow brought 565, good mid
to fine 61s a 655, low brown 475, good 53s 6d, strong grey
59s 6d a 61s 6d ; but during the last two days the purchases
have been limited in both brown and yellow descriptions,
prices, however, remain firm; the deliveries since last Friday
have been extensive,exceeding those of the corresponding period
of last year by 2,546 bags. The stock is now 25,955 bags
larger than last year, there has been no arrivals since our last,
and nothing is declared for public competition next week.
This afternoon 4,318 bags at public sale, a superior parcel, sold
at full prices, good to fine yellow at 61s 6d a 64s 6d per cant.
EAST INDlA.—Manilla has been sought after by the refiners
at late rates, but importers demanding stiffer prices have
checked business, and the operations privately have been only
to a limited extent, and confined to 1,000 bags at 22s a 24s 6d
for low brown to good yellow, none has been offered at auc-
tion, and at present nothing is declared ; for Siam previous
rates are required, but there has been only a limited business
doing • the grocers have manifested less anxiety to purchase
Bengal, but the supply continuing short, they have been com-
pelled to pay previous rates ; some arrivals are near at hand.
This afternoon 111 bags Bengal at public sale brought full
prices, good and fine wbite 66s a 68s 6d, mid 64s 6d per cwt.
MoLassEs,—West India are held for full prices, but there
has been only a limited business doing since our last, 31s a
32s has been obtained for fine Antigua, and for Barbadoes 33s
is asked.

TEA.--There has again been little life in the Tea market,
buyers purchasing sparingly of both black and green descrip-
tions, but under last sale's pricc s ther..! are still no sellers.
The declaration for the January sale was issued this afternoon.
COFFEE.—lmporters of British Plantation st,ll refuse to
submit to lower prices, but the announcement of 6,276 bags
Ceylon, 466 bales Mocha, and 160 bales My: ore for auction
on Tuesday and Wednesday next, has produced increased dul.
ness in the Market, and the transactions in all descriptions
have been very limited. At public sale, 57 casks 209
bags were all bought in for the want of bidders; middling
Jamaica at 110,.; good and fine ordinary Demerara at 90s to
95s ; but a small part has been sold since the sale at the buy-
ing in prices; the lower qualities are particularly neglected,
from the apprehension entertained by the buyers that the
arrivals expected early next year from the Cape at the 9d duty
will come more immediately into competition with them ;
271 casks 20 bags have been imported from the West Indies
since our last; 150 casks 100 bags are declared for auction
next week.

There has been an increased demand for Foreign, and
the transactions in Brazil have been extensive, amoziting
to 5,000 bags, at prices 2s above those previously ob-
tained ; the principal part was taken on speculation, and
the prices ranged from 40s to 46s for low good ordinary
to fine ord colory ; St. Domingo is held for advanced rates,
but at present there has not been much business doing ; for
auction on Tuesday 2,000 bags are declared ; there has been
no arrival since our last.

but former rates were supported, good to fine fine ord sold at
95s 6d to 103 s ; the latter brought stiffer prices, good ord 433 6d.

stock here of unsold is very small.

cepted, but without inducing buyers to take more than suffi-

part only of 27'cliests were sold, fair brown Bencoolen at 5:4,
small at 4s 9d; the remainder was bought in, good arid fine

dull of sale.

FRUIT. —ln the prices there is little alteration to notice,

and there is still a fair demand for all descriptions. In Patals
Currants the business done last week was extensive, and the
buyers appear to have supplied themselves for the present ;
the holders, howevor, still show a disposition to raise the

prices, Zante and Cephalonia being now held for 735.

mencement of the present, prices advanced to 59s 9d en the
spot, and 60s to 60s 3d for delivery in the three first month!
