The Leeds Mercury of this day repeats an assertion which

it formerly made, but for which it now professes to have more positive authority, that the German Commercial League, during the late session at Stungardt, raised the duties slightly on cotton warps, imposed a duty of 50 dollars per hundredweight on English and French hardware, and the same duty on worsted and worsted and cotton mixed goods. The duty on some kinds of goods will, it is said, amount to 50 per cent ad valorem; and many fear, that "the great. balk of our woollen and worsted exports to Germany will be quite excluded by the increased duties."
