caused a, gold snuff-box; s,.t will' diamonds, to be
presented to M. VAN MARSCiiALL, Minister.-Direc-
tor of the Duchy of Nassau, in token of iris satis-
fattiott at the expedition with which the contingent
of that Duchy was put in motion, and also at the
excellent appearance of the troops.
Various applications having been made for an ex-
planation of the intent and spirit of the Decree of
the 16th of September last, relative to the prohibi-
tion of colonial goods coming from Holland
.and
Spain, the following answer has been returned by
the Diret:tors of the Imperial Customs .
" The prohibition extends to all colonial pro-.
duce, of ,vhatever quility, and whether used as ar-
ticles .A food, or for othrr pnrposes. It applies not
on!V to the articles in the tarif of the law of
Bth Florid, 11 th year, but also to those procured
from the. East Indies, such as cinnamon, cloves, and
otter spices and drugs, the traffic in which is chiefly
in the hands of the English.
" Peruvian bark is not included in the prohibition.
The only excepted articles, therefore, are bark and
cotton.

" The application is instantaneous, according to
the general rule, and.extends to all vessels' that have
arrived' subsequent to the receipt of the Decree, if
they are still in harbour, and have not landed their
cargoes.

Nevertheless, colonial produce lauded before
the :receipt of the said Decree, shall, be permitted
to pass, if accompanied with a proper clearance and
manifest, in the same manner as the-articles already
in the entrepot.
" Other commodities cleared multi Holland pre-
vious to the prohibition, and imported on the faith
of a gertificate from the French 0)114, shall be
exempt from confiscation, but not be suffered
to be landed; -on the contrary, they must be re-ex.
ported in the vessels that brought them; the re-ex-
portation being, however, not to take place until a
duplicate of the certificate of origin, transmitted for
examination to the Minister for Foreign 'Affairs„
shall have been returned in due form, and the le-
gality of the cargo have been thus ascertained."
