GERMAN AND RUSSIAN PAPERS.

From the Weser, April 23.
According to accounts that are worthy of credit, the money which
the Duke of Brunswick took with him, on his journey to Paris,
probably amounted to several millions of dollars. This great sum
is partly the fruit of the savings of his Highness during the six years
of his reign, and partly the produce of the sales of domains which
have been effected during the same period, but the validity of which
sales is contested by the Committee of the estates. The amount
was gradually converted into gold and put into tin cases, closely
soldered up, each containing 5,000 dollars—all of which the Duke
took with him.

As the last resolution of the Duke relative to the affairs of Bruns-
wick was taken on the 21 of this month, and it is understood that
the time fixed for compliance was only four weeks, we may expect
important events at the close of the present month.

LEIPSIC, APRIL 24.

The fair promises well, partly on account of the great number of
Greeks and Asiatics who appear here for the first time, some of them
with their own brokers, and partly on account of the large sums for
schrelt they have credit front foreign places. Hitherto, they have',
merely looked about them, and consulted together, but made few
purchases, so that we cannot yet say what goods are likely to be
particularly in demand for Asia. IVe have also many Poles and
lt,..cstans here. from which we infer that the late reductions in the
tiv.es of customs, in both states, will give commerce a little liberty.
he march of Saxon troops for a certain purpose is still enveloped
In mystery. It is conjectured that should matters come to extre.
mities, the cause of the march will soon be removed. As the march
of our troops has been frequently announced, without taking place,
we do not believe that it will be effected on the 26th, as some persons
now affirm.

UKASE,io-TiIi.DIRECTING SENATE.

" The Minister of Finance has represented to us that various cis.
cutnatAnces are observed, on an attentive consideration of the ma.
nufactures and trade of the empire, which prove on one side the in.
sufEciency of the duties on various articles for the protection of the
national manufactures, and on the other the injury that arises from
the prohibition to import several articles, the admission of which,
on payment of a proportionable duty, would excite emulation in our
own manufacturers. Approving of these representations, we have
given our sanction to • new table, approved by the council of the
empire, of articles, the importation of which Is to be again allowed,
as well as of those the duties upon which are in some instances in.
creased, in others diminished. We transmit this table to the senate,
commanding it to be carried into effect.

The Commercial Journal adds the following observations:—

" NICHOLAS.

The changes in the Tariff have the following objects :-
1 . To reduce the number of prohibited articles, as far as can be
done without injury.
e. To lessen the temptation to smuggling.
3. To afford to our manufacturers (with sufficient protecting du.
ties) new patterns, to make them sooner acquainted with the im-
provements of other countries, to excite them to emulation, and, in
general, to enlarge their ideas.
4. To procure them a more extensive sale; for ifs small number
of articles of luxury which come into the empire by various means
must for the present be obtained for the capital from foreign coun.
tries, yet our manufacturers have the market of all Russia open to
them ; for new, more elegant, and all valuable articles for the fa-
shims must, oicouree, be longer in reaching the distant provinces.
The untenable notion of preventing luxury has not been taken into
consideration ; but, at all events, the Russian manufacturers will be
able to supply the public with such superior articles on reasonable
terms.

5. The duty on some articles is augmented, because experience
allows, that, Si our manufacturers could not of era ise subsist, the
duties on others are increased or diminished, in order to do way
with inequalities in the tariff:
Pecuniary advantage has not been sought; and as the changes
relate only to the admission of prohibited articles, or to objests of 1
small importance, it did not seem necesthry to make this ordinance
known earlier.
