Arrica.—The island of Bourbon was.taken possession of by the British troops in Sep 
tember last ; but it has since. been confider: tly reported. that the place was aftcr a short pe- 
yiod abasidoned by the capters. The island.of Bourbon could, i in a.commercial point of view, 
prove of little importance to the British, nation. It is trne, that the cettun wool which 
Bourbon produces is admirable in its kind, and, that the coffee cultivated in the district of 
St. Paul, cedes only to the coffee 9: Mocha, in point of odour 5 yet, we ask, would it be 
politic, would it be generous, .to introduce those dangerous. rivals, into the. English. market 
among the arti¢ctes ot a similar description furnished by the West Indies ?—Our West India 
mercherits find their stock heavy enough in all conscience, even as matters are now Situated 5 
but, whgt would be their situation if large quantities of co‘onial produce supeript to their 
own, were submitted to the trade at such prices as they cannot pretend. to seil at?—Guinea

Bartic —By the treaty between France and Sweden, eee ikt is said. to have been re- 
Stored to the latter power. ‘The permissioa to import colonial produce was indispensable to 
the Swedes, with whom sugar is as essential and universal an article of culinary use as salt. 
It was necessary, moreover, ahat Russia and Prussia should be suipplied with that and other 
articles of colonial produ.e, which they can receive only through Sweden. Our governe 
ment will not, it is understood, protect the exportation of colonial produce from rhe Swe- 
dish to the other ports of the Baltic. Russia tallow sells at prices from .4l. 1s. to 41. 5s. per

Greamany.—By the sketch of the.new constitution of ‘thie Hanse Casing given.in the 
Dutch papers, we find they are to be conv erted into what is termed free imperial cities un- 
der the protection oj France; and nothing coming from; America, either. cirectly or indirect- 
ly, can be adnfitted without an express order trom the Emperor Napoleon. . By. leite:s re- 
ceived from Hamburgh, we learn, that sugar, ‘and other: West India articles, are perinitted, to 
be sent into the interior, paevehstitine the mgour of the new custum-house regulations. 
Hotranp—The political revolution in Holland hes produced an alteration in tae policy 
recently adopted’ by our Buard of Trace. Licenses were, on the 3d ult. after.a cessation of 
two thenths, granted to ships proceeding in ballast tu France, and returning with grain, flour, 
and burr-stones. Licenses were also delivered for the use.of sucn foreign. vesseis as had hep 
fote brought these. commodities, permitting them to load. with British monusactures, and 
British or foreign” colonial produce,’ and to depart wi h such’ cargoes to ‘Botiand and 
‘France.’ :

sels furnished with proper licenses ; that is to sayy, they must be new ones, of a soe postes
