"I communicate to you the pleasing intelligence that our harbour, since the day before yesterday, is no longer in a state of siege, but is restored to its ancient security, and again under the Tuscan Government. It is therefore believed, that in future even English goods may be imported and exported without any examination."
Another letter, same date.
"The neutrality again granted to our port by France has occasioned here the greatest joy, as it is expected it will infuse new life into commerce. It is doubtless a consequence of the convention between the French Government and the Courts of Madrid and Lisbon, which England appears tacitly to have approved, that she may not lose the trade to Spain, Portugal and Italy. We shall soon be able to procure English colonial commodities and manufactures in abundance. Every thing is tranquil in the kingdom of Naples: and the fears of the Porte, lest the French should make an attack on the Morea, have hitherto at least proved without foundation."
