The negotiations respecting the Sound Duty continue, and
the following points are said to be already agreed on:—
I. Provisionally to reduce the duty on A Twist, from 36
to 20 stivers per 1001bs. B Cocoa tram 24 to 6 stivers per
1001bs. C Coffee from 20 to 8 stivers per 1001bs. D Blue
Campeachy Wood from 30 to 15 stivers per 1001bs. The du-
ties on Cotton and Pepper will also be reduced, but to what
extent is not known.

11. This reduction will be reckoned from the opening of the
navigation this year, and what has been paid since that time
is to be repaid.
Il I. The definite revisal of the tariff ( f duties shall be
made by Commissioners of all the Powers interested, who shall
meet at Elsinore.

IV. These Commissioners will be instructed to fix the Table
of the goods, the nature of the ships, papers, the rate of torn-
mi.sion, and all other regulations, and also the period for
which the Convention shall remain in force. _

V. Four per cent. on the value of the merchandise is taken
as the general basis of the new tariff.
WisisiiADEN, APRIL 27.—1 t was to be expected, from the
slow progress in the work of removing the stone dam, the
sand would accumulate more and more in the ports ot
BiLerich, and that the depth of water hecomvs less. since no
steam-boat can touch there, which is, in fact, now the case.—
Prussian State Gazette.
HANOVER, APRIL 30.—1 t is said that the Duke of Bruns-
wick was so ill during the whole of the King's visit, that it was
not possible to speak on matters of business. It is said, how-
ever, that on a direct application of our Government respect-
ing the Customs Union, it was answered, on the part of
Brunswick, that the negotiations at Berlin for the accession
of iirunswick to the German Customs Union were too far
advanced. There is, therefore, no doubt that Brunwick will se-
parate from our League. It is, however, affirmed in many
quarters that the loss to our treasury will be extremely small,
and that an increase of our taxes, which is talked of, will not
be on that account, but in consequence of the intended aug-
mentation of the military establishment.
BRURSWICK, APRIL 25.—The visit of his Majesty the King
of Hawiver on the Duke's birth-day, was quite unexpected, at
least by the public in general. He arrived in the afternoon,
and returned to Hanover on the following (lay. The shortness
of the visit entitle us to conclude that there could be no im-
portant discussions, tending to interrupt the negotiations with
Prussia fur our accession to the Customs Union, and so we
may hope, with undiminished confidence, that the negotiations,
which are to begin on the 3d ot next month, will lead to the
long-wished-for accession to the Pru.iian League.
