Moreover, two or three other affairs of honor
are in course of preparation, and will come OIL IN
due time, when some other young patriots Will
probably be satisfied, particularly if they have the
honor to entertain half an ounce of lead III close

1t is understood that Commodore Morris will

If the weather wc have had thus far in Genoa
be g fair sample Of the Italian climate, 1t Is as
beautiful as it has ever been represented by TO-
mancers or poets. Thus far there has been no
frost herc-frcs have hardly been necessary even
for the Americans-the thermometer ranges from
90 to 70-tlc market is filled with green peas and
all the delicate fruits and vegetables, which arc the
second crop of the year. The sky is cear-the
air is cold and bamy, and if the nights were
chilly and damp could compare it with our In
dian summer. But it is infinitely swccter
wish had space and time for a few sheets
on the commerce of Genoa just at the present
time it is for Americans matter of some interest
The King of Sardinia has published decree which
is to take effect on tie lst Of January, lo43, by
which the duties upon manufactured goods and a
large number of other articles greatly reduced
ON some things 30 per cent This, if properly
understood, would be good opportunity for
American merchants to export some of our domcs
tic commodities to this port. There is hardly
ever period when New York house would not
do well by sending cargo of cotton, raw or manu-
featured, or tobacco, to Genoa. There is vast
amount of goods purchased here by the capitalists
of Genoa for reshpmont to other ports, or for the
interior of the Continent, and almost any cargo
meets with ready sale Besides the effect of the
final settlement of affairs in China and Affghanis-
tan has been very favorable to European COM
mcrce. 1t is now believed that the ports of China
will be fully opened for the first time for com
merce with the rest of the world. The recent In
tclligencc has, in all the South of Europe, had a
favorable effect, and probably no revelation of the
present century will, in the end, have done more
to extend tho commerce and the civilization of the
Anglo-Saxon race.
BY the next opportunity will communicate to
you moro particularly the facts which interest our
own commerce. Truly yours,
