CONNER CIAL.
PRICES OF PRODUCE
HAYTIEN TARIFF.


The following are the principal pro-
visions of the new tariff published at
Port-au-Prmce, on the l3thSJune last.
The general import duty on foreign
merchandise, imported in foreign bot
toms, is l2 per cent on valuation es-
tablished by law, and which is general
ly about fifty per cent higher than the
invoice rates. This duty is to be paid
on all foreign goods, no matter from
what country they come, whereby the
English are deprived Of the privilege
they before enjoyed OF paying only Z
per cent. when other nations were fore
ed to pay 10.
Foreign merchandise imported in
Haytien vessels pays duty Of per
cent. ad valorem.
In comparing this tariff with that
promulgated in 1922, We find differ
ence in the official valuation OF GER
tain articles. Thus
MAcKEREL which were formerly ra-
ted at dollars the barrel, are now va
lued at 6, and, consequently, instead OF
the old duty of96 cents, only 70 are to
be paid. !,
RICE which was formerly subjected
to the general ad valorem duty on va
luation of a dollars the quintal, is now
subject to specific duty Of | so cents
each quintal.
Some few articles are subject to
specific duty. Among these Flour de-

4P.M. saw sail on our larbOard bow
standing to the N. w. at P. NJ. being
ahead Of us; at 5 so NJ. they tackled
ship to the eastward; at p. M. wore
ship and stood for us; at 6 so being
within musket shot of us and full of
men, with no colors set, and apparent
lv to come on board of us, | fired a
musket, which they returned with a 8
or 9 FOUNDER, and still coming down
on us ordered all our muskets TO be
loaded, and to fire all at once into her,
in order to let them know that we were
armed, and determined to defend our
selves. As soon as we fired the vessel
fell in the wind, which enabled me to
get ahead of her, and nearly out OF
musket shot, as it was full four minutes
before they got the schooner before the
wind, and ere she commenced firing a.
gain. From the confusion on board
of her after we fired, have not the
least doubt we shot the man at the
helm. i then kept the brig before the
wind, switch brought the schooner in
our wake, and rendered her head sail
useless. and / observed she had no
square sail. When kept the brig be-
fore the wind she begun to FIRE again
with her long guns. ordered our men
to wet the sails in order, if possible to
prolong the chase, so as TO make my
escape during the night, as it would
be perfectly useless TO contend with
them, they having at least IS men and
long 6's or 9's, and we with only 6

gers. am happy to inform you that
every man on board did his duty, as
they very cody drew the water with
buckets up to the rail yard in order to
wet the sails, and enabled US to get
clear of them. vet must say, with
the help of Providence, and the firing
Of muskets, was all that saved the
Sarah from falling into their hands,
Ats P. M. lost sight Of them, hoping
they had given up the chase. But we
weie disappointed, as at 9 30 they fired
again. Before 10 P. NJ. the moon go

they must have lost sight Of us, we

IMPORTANT INDIAN TkbAitES. :.
rr,r,.ef ofq letter to the Editor Of the Missouri
G,sel;geaeer, dated 81. LOUIS, June4
Dear Sir: l have the pleasure to IN
form YOU that treaties have been con-
cmded by General Clark, with the Kan
cas- and Usage Indians, for the cession
If all the land which they held within
This state. and also for a considerable
district ofcountry west Of Missouri and
Arkansas Several new and advanta-
geous sripulations have been introduce
% INTO these treaties. The Kansas are
N nav for all horses or other property
stolen or taken by them from the white
neople since the year 1915, and the
Dsages are in like manner to pay Tor all
similar depredations committed by
them since the year 1908. These sti-
nnIat;ops. Of course, cannot take effect
until after the treaties are ratified by
the President and Senate, when, upon
nroof being made to the superinten-
dent of Indian Affairs at ST. Louis, pay
ment will be made. The sum OF eight
thousand dollars is appropriated by
The t,ea,ies to these ihdemnities. These
Indians are also to pay for all future in
;uries Of the same kind, the amount OF
which is to be annually stopped out
other annuities on making proof to
the agents Of the value ofthe property
taken. The country west OF Missouri
and Arkansas is appropriated to the
use of the Kansas and Osages, and OF
the other Indians now within the limits
ofthis State, none Of whom are to set
tie within 20 leagues OF our boundary.
Thus these important treaties have
been concluded, by virtue OF which the
beautiful tract Of country on the west
ern border of this state will be laid o.
men to the settlement OF white people,
and the whole state is to be freed from
the nuisance Of an Indian population.
MANY of our frontier citizens and adj
ventarers to Mexico, will be indemni-
fed for their losses, and the obligation
TO paw for thefts and robberies out OF
their annuities, will operate as secn-
rity against future depredations, and
will make the whole nation responsible
for the good behaviour of each individ-
ual The stipulation to prevent all In
dams from settling within sixty miles
of our boundary, is one Of the wisest
ever put into a treaty. 1t Will be adj
vantageous to both Indians and white
people, for il viii leave clear space
between them, wide enough TO prevent
encroachments on each others terrific
nv, and allow room for stock to range
without getting upon Indian land, and
giving the Indians pretext Tor killing
and stealing it. Upon the whole, these
are two of the most advantageous trea-
ties ever made for Missouri, and must
have the effect of giving tranquility to
her frontier, securing ii against future
interruption from Indians, bringing a
beautiful part of country into cultiva-
ton, greatly increasing the stream OF
emigration to our western border, and
giving it a dense and powerful popula-
ton which viii forever place 1t beyond
the dread of Indian wars

From our Correspondent.


Port-au. Prince, June 2l.-Herewith
you have copy of the new Tariff, by
which you will perceive that an equali-
cation of duties has at length been OBJ
tanned, and which will, l hope, tend to
increase the relations between this and
our country.
The commerce of this country has
never been in so depressed a state as at
the present moment. Although the
stock Of all kinds Of American produce
has scarcely ever been so limited, vet
there is no demand for any thing; and
what two years ago, would have been
consumed in two weeks, would now be
considered an overotock for as. many
months. There is large stock of Eu-
ropean merchandise OF hard, but /
think it doubtful, that if the holders
were obliged to force sales, they could
realize the charges on them. This
state Of things is, in great measure,
attributable to the depressed state Of
the marketsin Europe, for West India
produce, and the scanliness oil the last
years crops, occasioncd by the exces-
siye droughts. Another principle cause
is, the want of capital on the part of
the Haytiens, and the jealous and con-
tracted policy which will not suffer the
introduction of foreign capital, which

going forward, * consequently throws

chanics, whose distress, in its turn, dis.
tresses others; by which means the
whole population suffer more or less,
according TO their dependence one on
the other. On their part, the Haytiens
say their position is entirely different
from all other nations; and that they
have consequently been obliged to a
dept totally different course Of poiiti.
cal economy-they may be right, but
doubt it.
