ROYAL SwINDLISG.-King Ferdinand OF Naples.
with the royal view of replenishng his exhausted
Exchequer issued proclamation declaring Mes
sina free port. Those who were simple enough
to believe the word of king, entered the port and
stored their commodities but when.they attempt
ed to sell or export them they were politely III
formed that his august majesty had changed his
ROYAL mind and would tax every cents worth OF
foreign produce in the port. The merchants re-
nonstrated, but in vain; they even asked permits
sion to withdraw their goods and depart as they
had entered, but this was also denied. His majesty
would not allow anything that had entered Messina
agreeaby to his proclamation to be either with
drawn sold, without first paying an enormous
duty ofover 100 per cent. on its value Among
those who have been thus entrapped and swndled,
are several merchants OF this city, some OF whom
have paid the duties under protest. We under
stand that they have represented their case to our
outrageous proceedings Of this royal robber.
