NOTICE TO MERCHANTS AND TRADERS. aTU rpIFE TAXES hitherto levied on h M'Jt>.y A VESSELS ENTERING the RIVER SCHELDT, bound for Antwerp in Uel""■l',"il,rgium, being since tlie flivst August last, by with !)ie maritime countries of Europe, (or ever abolished, and moreover the duties on tonlevied by the Government, and the pilot dues being r-diuvd by 20 per cent, for .sailing vessels; To p'-r cent, for vessel* in tow, and HO per cent, fur Hteamer-i, and finally the harbour duct levied bv the City of Antwerp bciny also simpliiied and reduced. '1 heae reductions now render Antwerp one of the most economical, «.■. j! aJuaje ha.-* been uue of the Huiest and moi-t commouiou-j ports for shipping oji the continent of Europe. The saving consequent upoj) tliesc reductions may be estimated, for a vessel * of 50<) tons, to amount to I,2<X> to 1,300 frav>, or I'tH to t",2 per voyage, and if to tliifl hup: be added tbe tolls for the navigation of the ri;-er-Kcheldt, now abolished, but which a short u-ne p/'.icc would have been <;harped on all vessels entering that river, the total Having to a vessel of 500,/.oils may be taken at 2,800 frane.s, or Jtlli'. < This diminution of eT^r cns(M) together with the rery considerable redMioim made bv the Belgian Government in the rates of carriage by the railroads belonging to the for goods of every class and weight, iirminr; from any part of Europe for shipment at Anjtfrerp. render this port, which is so favourably situated for the trade; with central Europe, the most .-eonomieal, as well as the most convenient pluee, fojcshipping goods from the European continent. Bef,..u-s thus largely reducing the expenses of vessels filtering the river Scheldt, bound for Antwerp, tt;e Beigiun Government, anxious to oiler every faeility to vessels arriving there, and to give the greenest extension to the commerce of that, port, has udded large new docks to those already existing, and is now having erected new dry docks and other establishments on a suilicicjiHv extensive scale to admit of repairs being undertaken of vessels of oven' description and any tonnage, «o that the largest may now be repaired at Antwerp instead of going elsewhere for that purpi.*., us was Jurincrly the case with vessels of IIUUH'.UII rl7.e.
