We are glad to find that the cause of General
LASNE s' abrupt departure fro:n the Court of Lisbon
was of a personal nature, and unconnected with any
National object. It was the antient custom inFrance,
and it remains the same in many other Countries,
or. the Government to farm certain duties :o
In -the case of Foreign Midstersi it is
well known; there is a general exceptbn to their
paying the customary duties of the Ountry, on a
certain proportion of articles of Dress aid Furniture,
which they may chuse to bring wih them. In
such cases, 'it is usual, where the dutes are farmed,
for the Government to make good he amount of
them to the Lessees, but in every inMilce the p:ack-
ages .a re under the co,—niAkn.cf 317tt. Custom-House,
which has the right of inspetlio before they are
permitted to pass. Wete the

impossible to calculate the nuraerousfrauds whic h •
would be committed.

On the baggage belonging to" General lASNES
being landed at Lisbon, the Officers insisted en' the
usual search, which being refused, a dispute arose,
but they persisted in the exercise of their rig-ht.—
General LASNES, presuming on .the power of his
Court, wrote a very rude letter to M. de PINTO,
the Portugaese Minister, peremptorily insisting
on the dismissal of those Officers, or he should leave
Lisbon. M. do PI WT. cncicavouccd to rcconcitc
him to the usages of the Country. but in vain.
