The information that a treaty has been at last signed be-
tween this country and Hanover, by which the long-disputed
questions relative to the Stade Duties, have been settled, has
given general satisfaction to mercantile men who are interested
in the matter in this metropolis. It is also to be remarked,
that the duties in future to be imposed upon our manufac-
tures, &c., are fully as liberal as was anticipated. No doubt,
under the new system, there will be a large commercial inter-
course between this country and Hanover, and through it
with the other large and important mercantile towns on the
Continent. In this way, it is more than probable, that the
restrictive policy which is still upheld, may be ameliorated,
and that the principles of liberalism, which have been com-
menced by us, will be extended among the European codes of
duties.
