THE duty Of export on coffee, shipped
in Neutrals, is dol. bale, on brown su-
CARS, 80 cents, on clayed IS cents, on IN
digo1oo cents, cotton 20 cents, cloves 90,
and ebony wood 100 cents. Ifany of these
productions are carried directly to France,
and landed there, will be exonerated from
the said duty, on producing certificate to
be delivered here.
I" Business at the Isle of France, is In
general on more critical footing, than it
has been since my residence in the country,
owing to the heavy duties imposed by the
government, on goods shipped in any o.
Their than French vessels. Numerous tai-
lures, to a large amount, have lately taken
place.
The London papers, from which the ar
ticles, published in our last, were extract
ed, furnish variety of speculation, on the
subject ofwhat is termed the conspiracy of
Moreau, sufficiently demonstratiye of the
innocence of the accused, and of the mex
tin9 s;shable jealousy and hatred of Bona
Sc to every Erenchman of virtue and ta-
leats. Towhat lengths the leaders in this
new scheme of revolution dare extend their
sanguinary and ambitious projects, or to
what point they are particularly directed,
beyond the removal ola single individual,
we know not; BUTT is pretty certain, that
the friends Of Moreau will never consent,
without struggle, to see him dragged to
the scafold or driven in exile to some sick
ly and inhospitable shore.
