TIE ZoLL-VKRER.-The Nuremberg Gazette
states that Prussia proposed an increased duty of
three dollars on cotton, and one dollar on linen
threads. The cabinet of Berlin maintains the idea
that the system of drawbacks would change that Of
the customs union il opposed the uniform increase
OF hve dollars on every species Of thread. Il must
not be forgotten that the system Of drawbacks OK
lists in the association on refined sugars and fabr
Gated tobdcco; articles for which the duty that
paid for the raw material is reimbursed their ex-
portatioD. These drawbacks amounted, on sugar
alone 10 half million Of dollars last year. Russia
being in great want OF sugars, Saxony supported
the opinion Of Prussia, but Baden and Wlrtemberg
voted for the uniform duty Of FIVE dollars with re-
endorsement at the frontier. Bavaria will have to
give the casting vote.

"a boat arrived on the 22d ult., from Dilemma
Ghazaouat, with important dispatches from Gene
raj Cavaignac, which bring news of great interest
Some Arabs, for the most part belonging to the
tribes which had actively participated in the butche
ry Of Sid-Brahim, had taken advantage of the mo-
mentary absence of the general, who had gone in
the direction of Morocco to attack the detachments
occupied in the works of the road from Ghazaoua

the column under his command, succeeded in max
ing counter march in such manner that the enc

they had themselves been the first to provoke. Mor'
than 500 Arabs were driven toward the sea, ant

to lay down their arms, however, and, in conse
quence, the whole of them persisted; some killed by
our soldiers, all the others were drowned"
