MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
"TRE herring fishery on the Sussex coast has had a favourable commencement, and great num~ 
bers have been taken. 
Immense shoals of herrings have already appeared in Loch Toriden, and along the neighbour-~ 
ing coast, which promise a most success‘ul fishing. During the fishing on the coast of 
Cathness, it is understood that upwards of 80,000 barrels of herrings have been taken and 
cured. 
The French have begun to encourage the introduction of Italian manufactuted silks inte 
that country. Cheese is anurticle with which Italy supplies France at present. France has 
allowed the exportation of hops to Holland by the ports of Anvers and Weel, on the Meuse; 
as also freestone from the quarries at Andernach and of osiers, on the payment on the lat- 
fer articles of a duty of 5 per cent. y 
The French Government has placed the Island of Capri under their Custom-house regula- 
tions in the same manner as that of Corsica. ‘They have also subjected the Tunny fishery on 
the coasts of Sardinia to the same duties as the other French fisheries are Hable to. 
A treaty has lately been concluded between the regency of Algiers and the British, by which 
the exclusive right of the trade of the ports of Bona, La Cala, and 1 bol, has been ceded te 
the latter, for the exportation of hides, wool, wax, and 7,300 sanaques of wheat annually. 
The Day of Alsers has alse ceded to the English the coral fishery on the coast belonging te 
that regency. 
The Coleraine market is the most extensive and flourishing in Ireland for fine seven-eights 
wide Irish linen. , 
It is said that instructions have been sent to the different presidencies in the East Indies, to 
implore anadditional duty of ten per cent. on neutral vessels trading to all parts of that country 
within the British jurisdiction. This is particularly aimed at the trade carried on by Ame- 
rican ships between the East Indies and America, and eventually with Europe. . The English 
East India Company finding it of immediate advantage to sufter the natives of Bengal to dis- 
pose of theircattons, muslins, andsilks, tostrangers, whose ready money might gotothe govern- 
ment for taxes, encouraged the merchants of the American States to carry on a brisk trade to 
thatcountry. It hadits advantage, bothtothe Company and to the Americans, but it has 
at last exceeded the moderate bounds which the Company originally gave way to, and has 
created, insome degree, arivalship with the company in supplying the European market. It 
is supposed that were it not for this trade to India, all Scotland would be insufficient to furnisla 
the manufactured cotton wanted in America. The American ships in this trade are from 200 
to 509 tons burden each. They sail in ballast and take cash to the ameunt of frem 150,000 
to 200,0@0 dollars each.
