Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

The manner in which the Emperour has acted to enforce his former edict against the admission of foreign merchandize and manufactures into Germany, and the new restrictions which he has formed, are the things which has given the alarm to our manufacturers. He published an edict, imposing 60 per cent. on our manufactures eighteen months ago, but, like the former edicts of France, it was of no avail ; like France, he is now taking steps of a most rigorous kind to enforce that edict.

No foreign goods are to be exposed to sale--no magazine can be kept-and wherever they are found, they are to be subject to seizure and confiscation.

The commissioners of the customs are to furnish him monthly with an exact list of all the persons in his dominions, mentioning their names, profession, or quality, who import, or cause to be imported, foreign manufactures to the end that he may know the persons who are rich and luxurious enough to pay a duty of 60 per cent. in addition to the original value of the goods ; for it is, he says. from such persons that he must draw the sums necessary to answer the exigencies of the state.

No foreign goods are to be admitted-but expressly on the order and for the use of the persons who import them,

No foreign goods are in future to be permitted to pass from one part of his dominions to another under the penalty of confiscating, without producing at the Custom house a certificate of the first payment of the duty of 60 per cent. upon which a permit will be granted for the carriage to the place of their destination.

These are the measures with which the Emperour now threatens England. Stronger and more effectual means he could not have devised.
