Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, 9th June, received in this town, from a respectable source.
"We have just received information from Paris, that the East India and China Trade will remain entirely free to every French citizen, and to every port in the Republic, for expeditions outwards as well as returns. It is also made almost certain, that foreigners will be put under the same restrictions, with respect to our colonial trade as before the revolution. By a law just formed for regulating the trade of Tobacco, its importation is restricted to the ports of Ostend, Dunkirk, Dieppe, Morlaix, Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, Cette and Marseilles, and the advantage in the duty in favour of what is brought in French vessels is preserved, which is almost equal to a total prohibition in any others."
