peculiarly guarded against difficulty in refusing
the right OF search, because it confined the CARO-
OF the vessels to be armed or conveyed TO tie

tain Of Capt. SIS company transactions which

The trial was long and interesting in the

" Our friend Mr.. Gernon, of Bordeaux, has
just sent me letter from MIR. ---, ola +.
ted Paris, the 9Th inst. of which, if have lei.
sure, shall transmit You a copy by this con-
veyance. He mentions that in consequence
OF large supplies of cotton having been re-
ceired from the Levant, that cotton wool had
experienced a great reduction i'm price,
lie states likewise that the stock of dye woods
was very much exhausted in France; and
that very serious Inconvenience was felt all
over the continent, in consequence of the scar
city OF sugar, which is an indispensable re-
qusite for the preservation of the fruits.
wines, &c. &c. These circumstances had
been strongly represented to the emperor,
who had intimated that some relaxation
would be ordered, with respect to those par
ticular articles. MIR. - is OF opinion
that f1aUanHn sugars, and none other, will
be admitted, and he recommends his friends
i'll America TO ship that commodity and dive
woods, in preference even to cotton or tobac-
co, as 1t seems the French government are
bent upon giving spring to lHnen and wool
len manufactures, the materials for which
the country possesses 7oithi,, itself, and of
course preserves the money in the country,
that would so to pay fer cotton 7uooI. Sugar,
understand, very scarce all over Spain, a.
well as France-in fact, is the only article
that will sell here currently at present and
in order to get rid of other articles, many
persons make point of not selling sugars,
unless the purchaser takes a proportion of
cotton, tobOcco, &c. &c. with it."-.4urora.
