Hamburg]) Papers to the l7th instant reached us this
mottling. They contain the substance of an Imperial
Ukase, issued by the Emperor of RUSSIA, establishing a
new Tariff, founded on that illiberal prohibitory policy
which Governments are saslow to relinquish. In this
new Tariff the duties on imports of every kind are so
augmented, as in many articles to amount almost to a
prohibition. 'The duty on porter is increased ten silver
rubles (abont a guinea) per hogshead, and that on rum
is raised five and twenty per cent. All kinds of white
cotton goods are to pay an additional duty of seventy
silver copecs (about ls. 6d.) per lb. while on the finer
sorts the duty is augmented nearly half a crown in the

pound. On stockings, canvas, counterpanes, &c. the
duty is increased .about 25 per cent. That the new Tariff
.is principally directed against our manufactures,
we think is very probable—but the loss of what we
supply to Russia, can-very easily be compensated for in
other quarters, to which we look for such an impulse
to our trade, as Russia and the whole Continent could
never give us. Besides, the prohibitory system defeats it-
self. The very attempt to exclude our manufactures will
oaly make them be sought fox with increased avidity, and
Russia can no more prevent smuggling than we can do in
England, where in spite of the activity of our Excise,
and our Preventive System, it is carried on to a consi-
derable extent. In Russia the difficulty is increased

tenfold, by the chat atter of the persons who engage in
contraband traffic ; they are not needy, but despe-

rate adventurers ; merchants and men of fortune who
• have an organized system, which beards all authority
and defies all efforts to suppress it. Whether the Rus-
sian Government, in attempting to exclude our manufac-
ture., has opened any new mat ket for its own produce,
we have yet to learn. The following ate two different
accounts of the New Tariff, from the Hamburgh Papers:
