SECOND CHAMBBR OF THE STATES GENERAL.
BITTINLI 0F THE 22D NOVF.MBIR.
The following Meisage from his Majesty
eras read :
4. High and Mighty Lords—The eemme of the
Mediterranean and the Levant stands in need of being
protected by particular dispositions, combined ac-
cerdime to the state of the countries in which it is
carri•A on. To meet the expenses which result from
It, special duties have therefore been at all times
.hviei in the northern provinces' the receipt and ma-
nagement of • which belonged to Boards established in
•-•the priccipal ports, under the name Of Chambers of
• Abe Co.eineree of the Levant.
" The nroment in which a general system of im-
port and export duties is going to be introduced,
also that in which this subject ought to draw our at.'
tention Ir is the more urgent to regulate it, es the
• re-establishment of security in the Mediterranean is a
dge that all the commercial cities in the kingdom
will soon direct their enterprises and hieriantile spe-
culations to that quArter. As soon as they shall have
obtained ele degree of activity which we are allowed
.to expect, experience will slew how these duties will
be the best fixed and levied. Under present circum-
stances, and after the long interruption of our rela-
tions will) the Levant, it appears prudent not to depart
essentially from. the Tariff which leas long been
known in the northern pores. and which was never
considered then as onerous to commerce.
" The examination of
.the mode to be adopted in
regard to the administration has produced a different
result, and made it necessary to establish Chambers
of the Commerce of the Levant in the Ports which
are now destitute of them, or to suppress those which
already exist : we have given the preference to the
last, as the more simple and analogous to what is
done in other branches of the public service.
" The legislative regulations requisite for this pur-
pose are contained in the annexed project of a law.
(Signed) " WILLIAM.
" Brussels, Nov. SU "
To this message is annexed a project of a law tend-1
ing to rive particular protecncm to the navigation of
the Mediterranean, and the commerce of the Levant.-'
The Message and the Project were refereed to the
Sections for examination.
His Majesty has just sanctioned the measures pro-
posed by the War Department for, prosecuting the
fortifications which are begun on several points of our
frontiers with' such activity that from 10 to 12,000
workmen may be employed in them during the win-
ter seam, besides those wh- ate alreahly engaged
by . the Contactors. The Engineer Officers who
have the d rection of these works will concert mea-
sures with the Magistrates of the Towns and Com-
inunes, that the preference be given to fathers of fa-
milies, whose good characters and necessities tender
more especially worthy of relief.
By a Decree of his Majesty of the 11th of this
month, theline of Custom-houses between the Nor-
thern and Southern provinces of the kingdom Will at
length cease to exist.on tl.e Ist of December:
Another Decree, dated the 12.11, prohibits the
transit of rags, or paper with foreign arms (stamps),
of tee, cloves, sutmegs, and cinnamon.
