PARIS, March l6.
The decree of the 9Th March has taxed brown
fugar from the French colonies As francs, and
tete and clayed fuRars so francs per demical
quintal. Some perfons have thought, from the
manner Of announcing the duty, without diain-
guifhing that of entry from confumption, that
the whole was payable on the arrival of the mer-
chandize. This opinion is erroneous. All the
difpofitions iince the law of the sth Foreal, year
IL, on the French colonial produce, pay the frft
duties of entry on the arrival of the ever kinds
OF goods, which are fubjeet to entrepot ieti, and
the approximations bear only on thofe of con.
fumption. So that the actual duty of As francs
on brown fugars from our colonies will be found
comprifed. 1T. the original duty of entry of 8
francsp per decimal quintal eftablifhed by the law
OF the sth Floreal payable on entry Cd, that
of confumption, of 42 francs per decimal quin-
tai, which is not payable except on merchant
die declared TO be for home confumpton. It
is the fame with refpect to the duty of so francs
on tetes and clayed fugar, viz. 4 fir. so cts. du.
ty of entry, and rs fr. SO cts. for duty on con-
iumption. In fhort, brown fugars, tetes and
clayed, coffee and cocoa from the French colo
mics, taken from Entrepot to be transported to
foreign countries, will continue to pay the du-
ties fixed by the 10th article of the law of the
9Th Floreal.
