Tuesday, evening, August I.

a Royal Ordinance, dated the 26tb ult.
which confirms the intelligence we yesterday
published in letter from Havre. relative to
the imposition OF an extra tonnage duty upon
American vessels. The following are its e.
nactments:
"Tbe tonnage duties levied upon foreign
ships, on their entrance into the ports of our
kingdom situated in Europe, shall be substi-
tuted, as respects vessels belonging to the
United States, by special duty of 80 francs
81. los. sterling) per ton, without prejudice
to the additional tenth.
Such vessels ss can prove that they left
the ports of the Union, and were bound d.
rect to French port, previously to the 18th
ofJune last, lat which period the act of Con.
gress, dated 18th May, must have been
known throughout the Union), will only be
liable to the ordinary tonnage duty; as also
ships coming into our ports in ballast.
1.-The enactments of the present Ordinance
viii cease to have effect, if the Act of Con.
gress of the 10Th of May, should have been
annulled, and from the moment that the Off
cial knowledge of such abrogation shall have
been received in France"
A second Ordinance enacts, that from the
18th of October next, and until the 2lst Of
March, 1921, exclusively, there shall be
granted premium of ten francs per hundred
kilogrames of Cottons of the two Americas,
imported into France, in French or foreign
vessels, with the exception of those of the
Union.
REVOLUTION IN NAPLES.
GA private letter from Naples confirms
what has been said relative to the public un-
certainty as to the issue of events:
Some persons arrived from Milan, says
this letter, have assured US that the Austrian
troops cautioned in the Lombardo Venetian
territory, have received reintoIcements that
il becomes daily more difficult TO obtain pass
ports from the government for the other parts
of Italy, and even that some suspected per-
sons have been arrested. With respect to
the city of Naples, the inhabitants yielded
TO the invitation which was made 10 them 10
hoist the tri-coloured flag, (red, blue and
black) before their residences, as, IN the e.
vent of their not complying, it was threaten
ed that stones would be thrown at their win
dows. With the exception of the military,
very few of the colored cockades are worn
which represent smoke, fame and fire. In
fact, we cannot reconcile the adoption of this
rallying sign, which is that of the Carbonari,
with the prot. stations ofrespect for religion,
which are reiterated in the ordinances and
proClamations of the new authorities. All
feeling men, of whatever party, applaud the
6rmness with which general FiraDgeri has
hitherto answered the popular groups who
desire that the King should show himself at
the balcony. When this general spoke of
the advanced age his majesty, aud that his
;nErmities would not admit Of his conpli-
ance, the clamor ceased, and the eyes Of
some among them betrayed the feelings of
their hearts.
General Garascosa and Pope have fire.
uuent conferences with some members OF the
Commission of Public Safety: the intelli-
gence which appears to reign between them
and the general officers augurs somewhat
well.
Bergani and Colleta, two ex-generals of
Joachim, have arrived here. The prince
lieutenant general has confirmed them in
their former rank"
To the details which this letter conveys,
adds the Quotidienne, and which we have
received from person worthy of credit, we
must add, that a banker Of Paris yesterday,
Thursday. 9th ult. received letter from
correspondent at Naples. in which it is
distinctly stated, that the generals who have
taken part in the iEsurrection, have proceed.
ed TO the palace of the prince-lieutenant-ge-
neral, and resigned to him their command in
| the army. This determination is attributed
to their knowledge of the disposition of the
European cabinets.
