In the Liverpool Chronicle of Oct. LIST, we find tho
following article respecting the privileges attached 10
fTe'sn soods transmitted hTovghh British Colonies
which Is Of Immediate interest 10 the merchants and
indirectly to all:
at would appear from late decision of the autho-

fish Colonies, at the low duty Of pence per I9b.

they be correct, prove nearly nullity. We state the
case. The Hopkinson arrived lately from Dcrnerara
with 30 bags foreign cotton. which she took OF board
from schr. arrived from Surinam This cotton'was
GOT landed in Demerara but "transhipped" from
the schr and was regularly included IN the Hopkin-
sons clearance AT DemeraTa. On rendering the duty
Of only Id per cwt. under the now customs
act. 20 Geo chap. 7G section imported from, any
British possesson." the entry refused, and the al
va loren duty of per cent. demanded under the
arrumont that this foreign cotton had not been landed
in DeIncraro and therefore such an importa-
ton from IS required dissection &c. of the act
Geo. cap 107, viz: "no goods shall be deemed 10 be
imported from oay particular place. unless they be
imported direct from such place, and shall have been
there laden board the importing Ship either as the
first shipment Of such goods or after the same shall
have been actually landed at such place" there
were no other clause defining the privileges of an
"mporaton from, we would at say the decision
is correct. But there Is another clause mo 31) in
that identical act Geo. cap l07 in the following
words, no goods shall be entered being Of from
any British possessions IN 4meTHa Ut any benefit at
importing the Same shall have delivered n certificate
from the proper officer Of the place whence such goods
were taken on board Of the due clearance of such ship
from thence containing an account OF such goods"
The HOpkinsonF clearance did COntrin certificate
that the cotton taken on board IN Demerarn and
therefore contend that the 90 bags were an GIN
portation from British possession in America" and
therefore admissible at the low duty. We ar
que that clause 81 is exception 20 the general
clause46; clause % applying to British possessions Ia
America, but clause 46 TO the rest Of the world fit
be not, we ask, Of what earthly use was its being
passed. and the absurdity is still greater when we
consider that both clauses contained IN the same
act, and within two pages Of each other. We need
inform readers that goods produced in any Of
the three quarters Of tho globe Assn, Africa and Anne
rica, and nnpoTtedinto Europe, cannot again be inn
ported from Europe direct into England for homo
consumption. Accordingly the article Of gum Sene-
gal has been frequently shipped from France for
England, by way Of tho United States. The United
States would not permit such importations from
Fran in British ship, and our Interpretation Of the
spirit ofthe two clauses therefore Is this Government

Wan government his friendly Offices TO secure the con-

iessed strong desire for peace, spoke of injuries and
remarked that they should offer propositions, al

speak of Gen. Gamarras movements in Bolivia ms

that they have received none of the document rcla-
