In our Logt we made a mistake respecting thc export duty on corn, in stating it to be on back wheat, beans, peas, and wheat, 20f. per last; basley and oats, lOf.; and rye, 15f. It should be 020f.; Under date, Batavia, 10th July, it iS announced, that during the visit of the Governor-General Baron Van der Capellan to the llo- lucca Islands, his Excellency published at Banda, on the 29th of April, some new repulations, the object of which was chiefly to abo- Jish the unnecessarily oppressive laws relative to the m-onopoly of the spice trade; more accurately to determine the territory of the islands; to prevent arbitrary proceedings bv the offlcers, and to ensure a more upright administration of justice; for which end the Goveraor-Genaera resolved- 1. The residency of Banda shall, henceforward, consiMt, besides the Banda islands of the following islands, viz.:- The east part o?Great Ceram, with the islands of Kelffling, Ceram Laut, Gisser, Goram Key, ard Arou: and in general all the other little isLands to the cast and south of Banda. 2. There shall be a Council of Justice at Banda, to determine on provisional regulations for the police, and civil and criminal admi- nistrations of justice, in Banda, which the Governor will promulgate in the sequel. 3 and 4. All the laws, regulations, &c. tending to protect the ex- isting monopoly of the spice trade, especially in nutmeg9 and mace, shall be maintained in their rigour. All other laws, and which owe their origin to tbis monopoly, but dlo not tend to protect or maintain it, shUll be abolished, and are hereby declared to be null and vsid. The remaining articles are more particular, and detail the re- gulations. BRUSSELS PAPERS. TtRFTI;.';Pf,.q- Oi,.,r- MY
