At the Court at Windsor, the Ist of Sept., 1826—Present the•
King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
11-berme by the lawanow in force for regulating the importation
of corn—opts and. nat-nteal may be imported into the United
Kingdom, and into the Isle of Mn,e for home consumption. wain
and subject to regulations of the several statutes in that case made
and provided, whenever the avernge price of oats (to be 'sc.?.
tained in the manner therein prescribed) shall be at or above
dm price of 279. per quarter, and pease may in like manner
be imported, whenever the price shall he at or above 535. per quar-
ter r and whereas, by a certain Act of Parliament, made and peered
in the third year of his present Majesty's reign. Intituled " An
Act to amend the haws relathig to the Importation of Corn," it is
enacted, that whenever foreign corn, meal, or flour, shall be admis-
sible under the provisions of an Act, pave 1 in the tily-tifth year
of thercign of his late Majesty, King Ozorge the 111. iniituled" An
Act to amend the Law now in force for regulating the Importation
of Coen," or under the provisions of the said Act, pawed in the
third year of the reign of his present Majesty, there shall be levied
and paid certain duties therein specified upon all such foreign corn,
meal, or flour, when adMtted for home consumption: and where-
' as, by the weekly returns of purchases and sales of corn, made by
tire several Itumectore of Cora Returns in the cities and towns of
Eng:attil anti Wales, to the Receiver of Corn Returns, it appears
that the average price of oats, and also the average mite of pease, at
the present time exceed the before-mentioned prices of Ile. and e3s.
per quarter : and whereas, from information which bath this
day been laid before his Majesty, it appears that the price of oats,
as well as that of pease, is still rising, and that the crop of oats,
and oleo the crops of pease and beans, of the present year, have faded
to a considerable extent, and that a deficiency in the crop of pots.
tries is also apprehended in some parts of the United Kingdom ;
and whereas, if the importation, for home consumption, of oats
and oatmeal, and of rye, pease and beans, be not immediately per-
mitted, there is great cause to fear that much distress may ensue to
all classes of his Majesty's subjects :
And whereas, under the Acts aforesaid, no foreign grain of the
above (Ivied's:Lon, whatever may be the respective average prices
of the same, can be admitted to entry for home consumption till
after the lifteet,th day of November in the present year, when the
next quarterly average, by which the admission of such grain is
regulated, will be made up, seconding to the provisions of the said
Acts: his Majesty, with the advice of his Privy Council, doth
order, and it is hereby accordingly ordered, that &reign oats and
oatmeal, rye, pease, and hearts, whether warehoused oe otherwise,
dial', and may, from the date hereof, be permitted to be entered in
the ports of the United Kingdom, and of the lac of Man, for
hone otiosuntption, provided the parties making:Say of any such
