I have the honor to forward the following abstract of my report of the shipping and of the imports and exports of this regency for the year 1863. It is due to say that my statistical information is furnished by our consular agents from the seven most important Tunisian ports, and is taken by them from the local custom-house officers; but I am assured by trustworthy merchants, who possess ample means for obtaining practical knowledge, that the imports and exports of the regency are probably five or six times greater than here represented. Statute laws establish import and export duties-the former at 3 per cent. ad valorem, and the latter at from 3 to 75 per cent.; but these laws are virtually nullified by those appointed to enforce them, and the custom-house revenues of the government are small. The invoice of imports amounts to $4,500,000, which exceeds the invoice of the previous year by more than $1,000,000. The invoice of exports amounts to $5,050,000, which exceeds the invoice of the previous year by more than $2,000,000. The imports coming from France amount to $2,150,000; those from England and Malta to $1,200,000, and those from Italy to $670,000. The exports to France amount to $2,260,000; those to England and Malta to $950,000, and those to Italy to $800,000. Olive oil and wool were the most important articles of export, and next to these grain, red caps, (shesheas,) and cattle. Cotton culture received a new impulse last year; 300 bales were exported, and preparations are made to raise ten times that amount this season. There is a law prohibiting the exportation of horses, and the export duty on many articles is so heavy as to amount to a prohibition. No direct trade is carried on at present with America, but many American articles find their way here through Malta, Leghorn, and Marseilles, and a cargo of wool was sent last year to New York, via Liverpool. The crops of 1863 were generally abundant, and the country exhibited signs of material improvement. LIBERIA. MONROVIA-A. HANSON, Consul General.
