Accounts from Palermo, of the Ist of September,
state that the commerce in general complain of the
now duty of 20 carlins per quintal for the exportation
of sulphur, which prevents commercial operations.
Since the abolition of the monopoly the price of sulphur
may he quoted at 18 tari for first quality, Pi second,
and 13 the third per quintal. Adding to the above
prices the duty for exportation of tO carlios, the price
will be 38, 36, and 35 carlins the quintal ; it must be:ob-
served that the tari of Sicily is like that of Naples, of
the same value.

Accounts from the Havannah to the 19th of August
state that the dull season of the year had commenced
(for business), consequently there was little of interest
to communicate, and the arrivals from foreign ports
were very few. The exports and imports were exceed-
ingly limited. Exchanges on London, 12,} to 13 prem.
Intelligence had been received at the Havannah of the
burning of a %illage by the Indians, and that they
murdered all the white men they could find. The Ame-
ricans will find some trouble to drive them upon their
Florida territory.
