The N?.vy lit nterant, Mr. Von Krieger, 

 is the inl'peclor of niips' mu(ler-rol.s. It 

 is his paitici:lar duty to take care, that no 

 Danifli tr other native failor* engage 

 themfclves in any foieign feivice. 



Mr. Von Halimg is comniarder of the 

 guard. (hip, and, in a ceitaia degree, fub- 

 crdinate to the infpe61or. 



The governor o£ the warehoiife, Mr. 

 Buthmann, is likvvif'e haiboiT-mafier, a.id 

 ]i uieninl of the barriers. As harhtur- 

 irniter, he is under the psrticulaidiiedtion 

 of the above-mentioned infpeflor, who in 

 Cafes of difficulty piefcribes what is to be 

 done. 



The poU from Hamburg arrives at 

 Tonningeii, on Wednelday and Saturday 

 even'ngs, and returns thither on Thurf- 

 days and Mondays. The latter ufed to 

 po o. Jy on Sundays ; but as this fliovt in- 

 ifcivil was very inconvenient to the mer- 



them, fixed for Mondays. It is hoprd 

 that the Thurfday poll will likewife be 

 changed to Friday. 



An open fpot near the harbour is called 

 the Borfe, or Exchange, andjocofeiy in 

 E.igliib, the Royal Exchange Here, in 

 the afternoon, between four and fix o'- 

 clock, the merchants, brokers, captains, 

 and others, daily afilmble! 



In almolf every houle at Tonningen, 

 lodgings are let ; tite uUial price for a 

 furni(hed room, after the manner of Ton- 

 nincen, if for a few days, is a rix-doliar 

 per day, in i'pecie. 1 have heard one in- 

 ftance of five rix-dollarsper day being paid. 

 In general the price is five rix-dollars per 

 week ; there are no taverns for the gen. 

 tceler clafils worth naming ; lately, how- 

 ever, a clever innkei-per, one Lillburn, 

 from Han.bu g, has tlbbliflied an hotel 

 at Tonningen, which has met with great 

 approbation. At this houfe is a fubfcrip- 

 tion club, in which ftrangeis, when intro- 

 duced, may participate. 



There is alio a play-houfe, refembling 

 a barn, and the playeis are probably of 

 the lame calf. 



I fiiall conclude this account with a few 

 remarks on the produce, trade, and tna- 

 nulaclurcsof Tonningen. 



Agriculture is gradually advancing 

 from year to year. 



T< nningt n has for a confiderable time 

 enjiiyed a hr Ik exporttraJe in corn and 

 rape-feed, but almolt exclufively for her 

 ovvii account. At tl-,e preient conjunftiire, 

 however, many ot the purchafers in fo- 

 reign parts, are turning their attention to 

 this market, nor can it be doubted, that, 

 even when the blockade of the Elbe fliail 

 ceafe, this branch of trade will continue 

 to flourilh. 



Of rape feed, large quantities are ex- 

 ported ; the rape-oil is chiefly confumed 

 at home, only an inconGderabJe quantity 

 being exported j tlie oil-cakes are icnt to 

 Holland, England, and other parts. 



Rags form an imuortain article of ex- 

 portation. Horned cattle are in the 

 ipriug purchalid lean in Jutland, fatted 

 in the province of Eiderltedt during the 

 fummer, and then lent to Hamburg, to 

 the number of about three thoufand. 



A tannery, which was ertablifhed here 

 three years ago, has much liiminilhed the 

 exportation cf hides, which before that 

 pc4iod was confiderable. 



Butter is fent from Tonningen to Ham- 

 burg in large quantities. 



The wool ot tbe province of Eiderftedt 

 is veiy excellent ; it is pui dialed here with 



cj.a.Tts, it was, on repreicctation from eagerneis by the fi^amburg rauxhauts
