DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 15.

rMOUNING HERALD.]
We hope that the next Session of Parliament
the Ministers will entertain the question of the
Tea trade. If a further reduction of taxation
could be afforded, we would recommend it to
take place from the present tax on tea. It has
now become every body's beverage, and time has
proved it to be wholesome. Whether it would
be politic or just to throw open the trade to
China, is a question that will, no doubt, be en-
tertained at some future period. In India we
have experienced the benefits arising from the
Liverpool and other people participating in that
trade ; and it is not improbable, that if the Chi-
nese trade were open to others, we should reap
the benefit of it. It is proverbial, that all large
companies move slow in comparison with indivi-
duals. Formerly there were no British cotton ma-
nufactured goods sent to the East Indies; but since
that trade has been opened, there are large quan-
tities exported. The present tax on tea, we be-
lieve, is double the first cost. This is too much.
It causes smuggling, and sets people to manufac-
ture an article from sloe and other leaves, to imi-
tate common tea. A. great deal of the common
tea now sold in various parts of the country is
mixed with a spurious article. A reduction from
the tax on tea, and a free trade from China,
would materially increase the consumption, and
even the revenue derived from that article ; and
ag the importation would be increased,co the ex-
portation of our manufactures to China would in-
crease. It may appear at present improbable;
but admitting the trade to be opened, and the
tax on tea to be reduced, we should not be sur-
prised at hearing some day that the beaux in
China took to the wearing of British nankeens.

[MORNING POST.]
Paris Papers to the 14th inst. reached our
Office by Express last night. The Etoile of Sa-
turday contains intelligence from Spain, which
states that the Marquis of Casteldorius, a Gran-
dee, of Spain of the first class, had been sudden-
ly arrested and confined under a strong guard in
the Arsenal, because he had appeared at Court
in the national uniform, anti on being command-
ed by the King to resume the habit of Chamber-
lain, he replied, " that the one he had on did
him more honour than any other," and imme-
diately began to burn the celebrated air of Tra-
gala Perro. If this statement be correct, the
confidence of the Constitutionalists may be
greatly increased ; for were Ferdinand as
strong, or the Royalists as well affected to his
person as it is represented by the Ultra Papers
of France and Spain, he would not be thus
bearded in his own palace. They must know
that his misgovernment of the kingdom since his
return from Cadiz has disgusted all his former
adherents, or else none of them would venture
openly to avow their respect for the abolished
Constitution. These Papers announce the death
of the Princess of Conde, whose long and pain-
ful agony had been recorded in daily bulletins
ever since the beginning of February. This Prin-
cess, who is represented, and the believe justly,
to have been a model of all the virtues that do
honour to human nature, was born at Chantilly
on the sth of October, 1757, and died at three
o'clock P. -AL last Wednesday. The Moniteur
contains an official certificate of her death. It
appears from other accounts, that the House of
Bourbon has experienced two other losses. The
Duchess of Lucca (Ex-Queen of Etruria),
lately died in Italy, before she had completed
her forty-second year, and her decease has been
followed by that of the only remaining Aunt of
Louis XVI H.. Princess Cunegonde of Saxony.
The F rencli Funds continue to decline.
