TUESDAY EPTEMBEk'3;i"S06;

Extract of a letter from Car racoa,. dated 9th
August to a respectable merchant in New-York.
: " Miranda' has been again defeated, and
compelled, to re-embark, probably with the
determination toabandon an enterprise which,
J it would seem, his Af:f Jcountrymen are
not firnvenousrh to eticourase. and hVhas no
z dis- , I ( mCans to accomplish it Oh any other principle.
f l I have seen the extract of a letter from the
I -ce-mnfiahdant of Coro, mentioning ihat a skir
iishtook place the Ithtnst. where M's par
y were.engngtd in watering at Rio Negro
ihat he hnd twenty killed, 17 wounded, and
"some prisoners that his- fleet consisted of
hips, brigs &c. protected by his Britannic
Majesty's ship Lilly oaly. They are suppos
' ed to have returned to Aruba, but we hayc no
arrival to establish that (act." '
Trent the Richmond Enquirer.
' TOBACCO TRADE. .
Letters, which have .been received in
this city from London, announce an im
portant change in; the mode of colletlitig
the doty on tobacco. The following may
explain the' nature and confcijucncei of
this new regulation.
. The duty on tobacco in England, is not
paid on the importation, as it is on mod
other articles and drawn back on expor
tation. The principal reafon afligned for
this excepttorr is, that the duty upon a
whole cargo would be fo confiderable, as.,
to require loo great a capital io the hands
f the importer. 'The prefent duty, for
inftancc, is as. Id (Terting per lb. The
whole atnouni therefore on a ciigo of 300
hhds. would have been immenfe, ai;d (he
capital fo veiled, might have remained
for months and years in an ucprodudive
ftate
When the tobacco is landed" in Eng'and,
it is llored'in what are call-i J ihc king's
tuarthevfes .".and it is upon Celiverir.g it
ttoni ihe warehoufes that the duty .is ad
vanced. The great' convenience of thit
arrangement i that . a mainifaluer who
has purchafsJaceoof tobacco, may fuf.
fcr is to lie in the warthouffS? for feveral
yr-rs, anlhc pasfhc duty iii proportion
as he confumci ihe t.ifac!j. Another
convenience is, that he may jy the duty
on the fcoood parcel of totfccc'o,' out of
the proceeds of ihc tirll when it has been
manufactured and carried !oharkct.
Eut in the payment of.th is duty il.ere
f as formerly no exception fut'e n lavur
of flemmed tobjero ; the J ity being la.i l
upon the lb. of tobacco, wit tout any rer
gard to its flemi. , , l'
In former limes, thefc t'ftcms were of
toafidcrable ule. In the rr attufafture of

change however having tallcn place tnihi
