Gazette, speaking of the treaty lately concluded between
the United States and Sardinia says is the FIRST treaty
of commerce. properly speaking ever entered into by
the Sandman Government with any other country. II
adds "Severa of the provisions are peculiar and high

transit of not only products of the United States, with
the exception of salt, gunpowder. and manufactured
tobacco, but for the products oil all other countries
imported from the United States, either in America

OF central Europe. II conveys also the most uneqayo-
cal evidence Of the disposition the part OF his Sard
nian Majesty to afford every possible facility for his
neghbors 10 receive their supplies Of transatlantic pro
due through the port of Genoa, well as an unembar
rassed outlet Tor their manufactures.

raj and special provisions OF this treaty. and while the
American Government claim the credit Of having
the difficulties which have hitherto prevented
Sardinia from opening her ports to recprocaly free
trade with other commercial countries, his Sandman Ma

in regard 10 internal commerce through his States ,eer
and enlarged views than those hitherto avowed
acted on by any other European Government Genoa
will now have every reason TO bless that good fortune
which has united her with Sardinia and which secures
N her the advantage Of carrying the transatlantic
commerce of countries beyond the confines Of Sardinia

commerce ever entered into by Sardinia, including &C.
nos, should have been concluded with America, disco
