196 Monthly Commercial Report. {March 1, 
«¢ The exportation of either gold or silver is not allowed. All returns must be made in pro- 
duce of the country, and to take away the same. Vessels may come in- ballast, and may 
bring such goods as are permitted-/or the negro-trade. 
**The Spanish consignee must become bound for the duties, and pay a fourth in fifteen days 
after having made the dispatch, and the remaining three-fourths in the three following months, 
that is one-fourth in each month. ~ . ch 1, 
‘“All vessels, friends, and neutrals,shall be admitted, and must receive 4 custom-house officer 
on board, as is usual_with othér vessels, and shall deposit their papers in the Secretariodel 
Governer’s office, untila visit is past for sailing. : 
ve The Spanish consignee must not sell by retail, on account of any foreigner. 
«The interdiction of wine, oil, vinegar, and spirituous liquors (except rum) ts prohibited.” 
Such are the regulations by wltich Spanish America is once-more thrown open ‘to British 
traders. We trust the latter will make a temperate use of those privileges, by avoiding 
wild speculation, and instead of sending out cargoes of old shopkeepers, that they will consult 
their own interests by asserting their cargoe consignments, and shipping marketable goods 
only.—By the latest accounts received from the Brazils, we learn that British goods are in 
smali request there, and that for printed cottons in particular, there is scarcely any demand. 
Pernambucca cotton sells from 9s. 1d. to 2s. 3d. and Maranham from 1s. 10d. to 2s. Jd. per 
Ib. Guarimala indigo, from 5s. 6d.to 11s. 9d. and Caracca ditto, from 5s. 6d. to 11s. 9d. per 
Ib. Brazil indigo, of which there is but an inconsiderable quaatity in the market, fetches 
from 2s. 6d. to 5s. Buenos Ayres hides, from 5d. to 9d. per ibd. 
West Inbres. Inour last report we entered our protest against the importation of the 
produce of the island of Bourbon, a measure, which if\carried into effect, would undoubtedly 
prove highly detrimental to the iuterests of West India traders in general. It was then re. 
ported and believed,:that Bourbon either was, or would be, abandoned sy our troups, but it is 
now known that an expedition is fitting out by our government, the object of which is of a 
* two-fold nature, notonly to retain Bourbon, but to reduce the Isle of France. Should there 
be any design of bringing home the produce et those islands, we have only to express a hope 
thatthe importers will be-required to give bond for its se-exportation. . Sugars are dull of sale, 
and they have fallen in price. The produce of the different islands varies from about 31. 16s. 
to 4]. 8s. 3 coffees were pretty brisk about the commencement of the month, but they now , 
begin to decline. Jamaica is down about Qs. per ewt. within the last week. Rum, particu- 
lar!y common Leeward, though remarkably dull inthe London market, has sold well at Li- 
verpool. At the latter place about 600 puncheons were lately purchased at 4s,3d. The 
London prices are, of Jamaica, 4s. 4d. to 6s. and Leeward Islands, 3s. 9d. to 4s. 6d. per gallon. 
Jamaica logwood (chipt) fetches from 271. to 291. per ton.: The unshipt is uncertain. The 
* Jast Gazette contains an order in council, relative to West India commerce, which want of 
room obliges us toomit this month ; it shall however appear in our next Report. 
HoLLaNnD.e=Our trade with this country, such as it ‘has been, is likely to be entirely an- 
nihilated by the intrigues of the French Bmperor. Of this subject we shall possibly be — 
enabled to speak more tully in our next Report.
