Extract ola letter, dated Lisbon, June Is.
"rhe influence of the English policy
is more and more felt in our Councils,
and produces in the acts Of our govern
ment results advantageous to our COM
merce and manufactures. Our cabinet
has Just taken the first step to renounce
the system of absolute prohibition
which kept from our ports great part
of the ships of Europe. A duty OF 80
per cent is established in the room OF
complete exclusion in vast number OF
articles, the consumption of which has
become indispensable, and which could
not be procured except by smuggling.
Such are silks, ornaments, tissues
marked with gold or silver, laces, false
stones, and beads of all colors, cloths
and stuffs of all countries, except those
Of England and Holland. Hencefor-
ward competition will be open to all ma
tons, and the consumer will gain by
it. These measures brought into har-
mony with our new relations with Bra
iii, cannot fail to raise our commerce,
from the state of stagnation, or rather
of nullity, TO which it is reduced.
"The preamble of the Edict which
introduces more reasonable system
deserves to be quoted, as it is calcula-
ted to shew the new spirit which ami
mates the government; it is as follows !:
"T, the King, make known, to all
those who shall see the present Edict,
that, considering the Inconvenience
which result from retaining laws, the
enactment of which were salutary,
when they were adapted to the usages,
customs, and circumstances of the
times of their publication, but which
have become Incompatible with the
new usages and wants which the course
of time has introduced into society,
think fit and order the following to be
observed, sc.
article is the most important.
'The same articles, it says, which
were prohibited, and which are at this
moment admissible in the two ports OF
Lisbon and Oporto, shall pay the duty
on imports in the ports in which they
shall enter, according TO the regula-
tons laid down to that effect at present
30 per cent or which shall be in force
in future. The duties shall be paid &C
cording to the estimates made of the
price on the day when they were dis
patched from the Custom Houee, Or by
an auction, which may be made for the
greater security and regularity of the
payments

and Oporto."
"The export duty on wine is reduced
to one half.

ed the public with document purport-
ing to be communication from the
Governor of the province of Chloe TO
the Secretary of the CHILEAN republic,
bearing date the 9TH of March last.
Chloe is an island in the Pacific O.
cean, on the coast Of Chill, abundant
and fertile. After the battle of Ava.
cucho, communication was made to
the Governor of this Island from the
republic Of Chill, advising and recon.
mending the incorporation of that roy.
al province with that government, to
which this document is an answer
) The Governor of Chloe, sarcastically
declares, that in pursuance of the ad.
vice rendered by the government oil
Chill, and determining for himself tina,
the will Of the people of his province
should form his rule of action, he had
, visited all parts of his government, and
obtained the opinions ofthe kings sub
jects-that they conceived the loss al
Aracucho to be partial, temporary
and reparable calamity, and were de-

legiance TO Ferdinand. The writer
states that the republics of Mexico
