nerally below the currency of this market. Molasses
have been in steady request.
The demand for Foreign Sugar has not been so
extensive; the prices are little varied.

A letter from Berlin states, that the new plan of
finance is completed, and that it is founded on the
principle of introducing as entirely uniform hind-tax
throughput the whole kingdom, from Memvi to the
Moselle. This land-tax is to extend to every specks
of
.real estate, provided it be, what is called in Ger-
mars, istaweeik property. • Its annual net produce is
to be taken as the basis of its annual contribution,
which will be fixed by the average -produce of the
last tee years. Of this net produce, one-eighth part
is to be paid as' an enamel tan, which, it is calculated,
will
bring
in twenty million* of dollars; six dollars
to
,a pound sterling. Is seidis as if the Government
has the wise intention, lot, to introduce an equal
bod-vas into the whole kingdom, that there may be
a basis fat s amfoom representation t so that the
