NEAPOLITAN NEW TARIFf.A' 0
By a royal decree bearing date the 18th, and publisTool
the 29th of August, the duties on fish and sundry
_teioll
articles have been reduced nearly 50 per cent , a '4"; of!
most important to trade, particularly as indic^s,asSi
change in the measures which the Neapolitan Goirew-
has so obstinately_ clung to from time immemorial.
It is said the Kin is determined not to continue in frlfitli
courses, and that now, by the new treaty
England, he is at liberty to do as he pleases, and that wimple
see see great changes in these matters. So it is that the o..nr.
of England, based on broad and liberal principles of c°_,w;eteit
cial policy, sheds its beneficial influence over all coiir'

increase trade, and benefit the poor consumers of 4t the
who have hitherto been squeezed—for what ?To be palf
