NAPLES, NOVEMBER 7.

In pursuance of a Decree of his Majesty of the 4th
inst. and in obedience to the orders of the Minister of
Finance, the Director-General of the Customs, ac-
companied by the Inspector-General and the Direc-
tor, proceeded to the chief custom-house of this ca-
pital, and Caused to be delivered to him the keys of
ail the principal warehouses. He proceeded to a
minute and rigorous examination of all the British
merchandize produced by prizes, sequestration, or
cor,Sccation in the customhouse.

All these articles were composed of muslins, chintzes,
Manchester goods, calicos, painted floor-cloths, India
goods, cotton cloths and velvets, ironmongery, tin,
and other merchandize, amounting to more than
60,000 ducats. A great fire was kindled in the
square, where all these commodities were unpacked,
opened, and burnt, piece by piece, under the inspec-
tion of a numerous detachment of custom-house offi-
cers, under the orders of their principal. The fire
lasted from noon till five o'clock.

So novel a sight attracted an immense crowd. The
greatest order prevailed. It was even perceived that
the public manifested sentiments of satisfaction at
seeing a conflagration which, independent of the fatal
blow that it gives to English commerce, announces to
that Government the fate which awaits all the pro.
ductions of her industry, that traitorous artifices may
throw upon our coasts.
