A motion was made in the House of Commons
on the !4th ofJune, (Which escaped our notice
Tuesday,) for documents connected with the
| commercial relations of England and Portugal.
The object was to show, that the effect of the We
nv old commercial treaties had been injurious to
both countries; producing in Portugal an arbi.
trary and despotic Wine Company, and depriv-
ing England of the good and cheap wines of France
and the advantage of an extended intercourse
with that great country.
On the 18th. Mr.. Hume brought forward his
motion to adopt measures for Withdrawing the
settlement of Sierra Leone, which he urged had
been total failure. He made a statement of
the frightful mortality which had carried off the
population there in different years. After de-
bate, in which General GascOyne made worth
less attack on the friends of negro emancipa-
ton, Mr.. Hume. withdrew his resolution, and
moved for the appointment of Committee of En-
qury, which was agreed to.
Duty on Sugdr.-It will be seen, says the
Liverpool Times. {" that the Chancellor of the
exchequer has at length been induced to consent
to a slight and partial reduction in the present
extravagant duties on sugar. This reduction al
though it only applies to the coarser kinds, and
although it is to be cOunterbaanced by an in
crease Of the duty on rum, is good SO far as it
goes, and will, we hope, lead in short time to
general revision of the sugar duties, which are
at present ruinous.t TO the producers. and extreme
" burdensome to the consumers of that article |
The duty given up is calculated by the Chancc- |
Tor of the Exchequer to amount to ESQ, 900, Or
P400.OOO; and the deficiency produced in the
revenue is to be supplied, partly by an increas-
ed consumption, of Sugar. and partly by an adj
dition of cd. per gallon to the duties on rum !
