REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY

COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is
the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal properties; while, if adulterated with British
Brant-. these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and
invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory
spirit.
The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy,
Auld the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many
persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may
be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex-
pect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to
avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy
trade as all importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy,
pale and brown, in this country, and, 114 accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a
Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of
it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges him-
self to sell none bnt the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im-
por ,
