These, failures throughout the kingdom, have wonderfully effected the manufacture of every 
description of goods, and a general want of confidence exists between the maoufacturer and 
the export merchant. .The speculators at Liverpool have completely overstocked the difs 
ferent riarkets of South America, where, at present, English manufactured articles can be 
purchased at a loss of 20 per cent. to the exporter, with the exception of few articles, on 
which little or no credit could be obtained here. 
Porrucau.—A proclamation has been published at Lisbon, informing those who wished 
to put their valuables ina place of safety, that the ship Vasco da Gama, and the frigate 
Phenix, have been appointed for receiving money, plate; jewels, and other valuables; and 
that they may also deposit the same in any of the English ships of war stationed in the port. 
Wines in the country are uncommonly scarce and dear, and likely to continue so, as the last 
vintage. has proved very unproductive, and the peasantry unable, from the state of the country 
at present, to attend to the vineyards, &c. &c.—A slight shock of an earthquake was-expes 
rienced at Lisbon, on the 26th of October, but without doing any material damage. 
FRaANCE.—-The most important article in these journals, is a. Decree of Bonaparte, Jared 
Fontainbleau, the 19th of last month, of a most peculiar character, in which the: ordinary 
notions of discretion and policy are abandgned, for the sake of the gratification of the. maalig- 
nant passions. In this document it is declared, that English manufactures, found either im the 
public custom houses, or in private possession, shall be burnt. » This law is not only extended 
to France, each department of which is separatély named in it, but to every state and king 
dom occupied by the French troops—Switzerland, Italy, Naples, and Spain, and toall the 
remote dependencies, The penal part enacts, that whoever shall be found in disobedience 
‘of this Decree, to introduce English manufactures, shall be branded in the hand, and shall 
be liable to imprisonment for aterm net less than three and not more than tem years. Bona~ 
parte has also ordered that no merchant in. his empire shall be allowed to endorse any Bill 
of Exchange payabie in England, or drawn upon any person in the British-domitions, © * 
At Franxroxr, the utmost distress prevailed, in consequence of the decree having 
been eaforced, that ordered the seizure of all goods, which the proprictors ‘had not included 
3n their declarations, whereby they would have been oply subjected to the payment of the 
extra duties. The piace was crowded with French custom-house officers, and a general search 
had taken place, when there were found immense quantities of goods, which-had not been 
enumerated in the declarations made tothe government; the consequence of which was, 
that they were all seized, in order to be soid far French account. Yet notwithstanding all. 
the severe decrees of Bonaparte, we import and consume their brandies, wines, and other 
French products, all of which are paid for by bills of exchange om London! ‘This cimport 
trade from France into this country requires parliementary investigation, as it is most cer- 
Brandy sells here from 
253, to 28s. pers gallon, and French wines from 9Q]. to 1001. per hogshead! Whereas be 
wine of Postugal, and brandy of Sanit would be a good sabetitute he them. Ww
