Extract of letter dated Madeira, October

A few days since decree appeared from
the government of Rio Janeiro, imposing a
duty upon brandy, throughout the P0rtu-
guese dominions of $50 per l4e gallons.
This same decree also orders that from and
after the LIST Nov. of the present year, all
foreign vessels shall pay, in all the ports of
the Portuguese dominions (wilhout regard
TO previous treaties) the same tonnage du-
ties and expences that are collected from
Portuguese vessels, in the ports of the ma
tions to which they belong. This is clear
ly levelled at English and American yes
sells, with view of compelling these go
vemments to make exceptions in their har-
bors in favor of the Portuguese dig. In the

the opening of the trade with the Indians
to individuals under suitable regulations.
Aftergiving detailed history Of the pro-
visions adopted from time to time by the
government for regulating trade with the
Indian tribes, and pointing out what he
conceNes to be the defects and inconveni-
ences Of each, as well as describing the
situation, character, wants, and resources
of the various tribes within our territories,
the Secretary recommends that the exist
ing establishments should be abolished, and
that the trade be exclusively vested in a
company with sufficient capital, 10 be divi-
'ded into shares of10O dollars each and to
be limited to the term of twenty years to
pay an annual tax on its subscribed capital
for the privilege of exclusive trade, and to
be subject in the same manner as private
traders, to such rules and regulations as
may be subscribed. The efforts OF the
company, observes the Secretary, undis-
turbed by rival interest, would be direct
ed to establish its central over The various
tribes of Indians; to exclude foreign adj
venturers; and TO give the greatest degree
Of profit to its trade. The success of such
a company, properly conducted, scarcely
admits of donbt. Our position in re-
gard 10 this trade, the facility which the
navigation of our great and numerous ri
vers in sthat quarter would afford, and
the protection from our military posts,
would speedily destroy all foreign compe-
tition, and would, in few years, push our

world would be ours, accompanied with
decided influence over the numerous and

gions. philadelphia Union.
