DANISH COMMERCE.

Private letters from Copenhagen, dated the 22d
ult. contain the following information, which is likely
to interest our mercantile readers:—

66 The Danish Government, by ordinances issued
in May and June, 1812, prohibited the importation
of all kinds of foreign merchandize, which, by drain,
ing the country of considerable sums, occasioned a
loss, which nothing could compensate. At the mo-
ment whcn the peace with England revived, naviga-
tion, it pahlislicci an ordinance, dated April 2, 1814,
which, annulling all those previously issued, placed
the D:inish commerce on the same footing as before
the w.tr, and restored the tarif of duties fixed in 1797.
This ordin..nce permits the importation of ail kinds
of foreign merchantlize, except the following :
_

1. Cloths and all sous of woollen stuffs that are sold by
the ell.

2. Mans and cottons, printed or stained, which are sold by
this ell.. _

S. Fustians of all kinds, and manitfactu:ed cotton hose.
4. Raw fcrago sugar, and sugar refined in Europe.
S. Porcelain and playing cards.
Howeyer, till a new order, the woollens and cot-
tons specified in the first three articles May be admit-
ted in.Qrder to remain in the country, but only at the
Cikstonr-house of Copenhagen ; and on condition that
qerbe declared at the ing's Custom-house, like
other imported goods, and deposited in the ware-
houses orthe Custom-house.
•44 Thei shall be publicly sold by auction by the
CostnOs, and not delivered to the purchasers till they
are marked with- the Custom-house stamp, after the
sale, and after palioithe King's duties.
4; these duties shall be 30 per cent. on the gross
producA of the sale; the proprietors shall receive 70
per cent. witboutother dedgction. At the other cus-
tom-houses of the kingdOpi, at which such goods
shall arrive, they shall merely be stamped from one
tti the other, till they reach Copenhagen.
" T.h.. entrepots of transit and credit are re-esta-
blished, as they were by the ordinance of the Ist of
February, 1797. The entrepot of credit is, however,
restricted to the period of six quarters, and the duties
on merchandise deposited in these entrepots must be
paid bef re the expiration of the sixth quarter.
" The Cu estotn-liouse duties on goods not prohi-
bited must be paid in specie, ,ccording to the tarif of
the Ist of Fthluai y, 1797; according to the value of
the old current Danish iis dollar, which was then
4 fr. 40 c. and which differs nearly one-half from the
new silver rix-dollar, which is worth exactly half as
much as the bank or specie rit aullar of Hamburg&

A Mail arrived from Holland this morning. An
article from Frankfort states, that BONAPARTE and
Mui. have been fully reconciled, and that the for-
goer is inviting to his standard in Elba the disaffected
of all countries, and particularly those of Italy and
Corsica ; and insinuations are thrown out that MURAT
is not quite so hostile to these measures as a legiti-
mate Sovereign ought to be. The following are
extracts irom the above Mail:
