THE following notice, issued by the Foreign Office, is
published for general information.

J. G. WARD,
Commissioner of Trade and Customs.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has received the
following communication from Her Majesty's Ambassador at
Madrid:—

“Under the provisions of an Act recently passed by the
Spanish Cortes, goods arriving in Spain and her colonies
from the United Kingdom and the British colonies will con-
tinue to receive the same treatment as heretofore—namely,
in the peninsula and adjacent islands the minimum tariff,
together with the advantages conceded by treaty to Switzer-
land, Sweden and Norway, and the Netherlands, or other
European States, except Portugal.

“In the Spanish colonies such goods will continue to be
treated under the minimum column of the colonial tariff.

“This treatment will be maintained until a permanent
commercial treaty is concluded between the United Kingdom
and Spain, or until the negotiations now pending for the
conclusion of such a treaty are formally broken off.”
