" Since our last letter of the 4th inst. we
were acquainted with the new duties which
are to be laid OIL certain colonial goods, and
have now the honor to impart you with.
Though this note is not oRicial, yet you
may depend upon its correctness. You
will easily perceive that the views of our
government, are principally to grant pc
cuiar protection to the national navigation.
The difference of If soc. per cwt. of cot
tons, imported from your port by French or
foreign vessels, is indeed very consid-
cradle, almost half AN ordinary freight
The Importation of sugar and coffee ha-
wing been pretty large before the new ta-
riff is put in execution, we do not expect
an immediate rise of their prices, but they
will certainly be maintained to the present
quotations.
As for the grand article cotton, we have
been confirmed in our opinion, that the
spinners having delayed buying, until they
had consumed their last bag, would mani
fest their wants at once, and pay better
prices. In fact. the upland of the Des-
patch's cargo, was sold at 20Of. and on the
following day, at 900. The Hope got the
same prices for her small parcels. We
now have the United States and Balloons
cargoes on the market-they will proba
bly, obtain 220f. for the upland, and at least
S70f. for the sea-island. The Balloon was
lost at the entrance of our river-but most
part ofthe cargo is saved.
The whole of our stock in the first hands,
will soon be off, Sc considering how small is
the quantity of cottons expected from your
side, we have great confidence in the
maintenance or rather in the improvement
OF the actual prices.
Rice is extremely extraordinary quality
was sold at 25f.-best, 26f-5o is refused
for good new This grain becomes album
dant all over Europe. Exchange on Lon
