COMMUCI.
The attention of French merchants and manubc.
totem has already been several times called to the nets
route opened to them by the Illyrian Provinces, for
facilitating their direct relations with the Levant. We
can now felicitate them on being enabled to announce
their success.
The merchandise imported from the Ist of January
rtd the month of August, amounted in weight to 11,93:1
Vienna quintals, or 499,51 S kilograms.
There are already settled atCostanicsa four principal
agents for the Levant trade. One of them has dis.
patched 1,000 bales of cotton for Paris, LyOns, and
Venice.
From Costanicza the trade passes generally through
Gori tz a, Neu stadt, and Laybech k front
thence to Trieste and Milan.
The Turks brought about 5,000 bales on their own
account ; the surplus has been sent off direct from the
Levant to the merchants of France and Italy. I'ne
carriage to Paris is conducted partly by way of
Trieste. and partly by Laybach and Villach.
It is believed that 20,000 bales of cotton will arrive
at Costanicza before winter, in cOnsequence of the fa.
cilities created, and the suppression -of duties which
obstructed the commerce of Costanicza. The route of
Costanicza is not the only privileged one; that of Spa.
latro also presents some advantages,and among others
that of a less lengthened conveyance over the Ottoman
territory, and a longer passage through countries unit.
ed to the empire, or subject to his Majesty.
The post is so regulated. that letters may teach
Tr.este in four days. At present there are only two
weekly couriers, but it is proposed to establish a third.
The road of Carlstadt is not practicable for com-
merce. That from Costanicza to Graduzsa, by the
Save, is t ilerable. When the Save is navigable, cot-
tons may be embarked at Graduzza, for Laybach ;
this route is a goad deal frequented.
From these details it appears, that the speculations
of French merchants may be conducted with perfect
security, by certain points in the Illyrian provinces,
which are open to our connections with the Levant ;
and that the merchants who first seconded the views
of Government have been the first to reap the advan.
Cage of it.
The amount of Levant merchandise which passed
through the Custom-house of Costanicza, for France
and Italy. from the Ist of Jan. to the SOth of June,
was .50,588 francs in specie, and 2179 bales. From
the Ist of July to the gist of August, it was 112,1118
francs, and'4646 bales.

The law issued by our Sovereign of Wirtemberg, .
prohibiting emigration under the penalty of confisca-
tion of the emigrant's property, is mtacuted with
great rigour. Several persons have already suffered
the penalty ; particularly M. De Hochstettea, vice.
equerry to his Majesty, whose property, as well as
that of his wife, has been confiscated.
