[OBSERVATIONS.-1. Nankins and all sorts of cotton
and half cotton goods woven and printed; whether
transparent, non-transparent, or demi-transparent,
with the exception of those hereinafter named, re-
main prohibited. 2. Turkish goods, up to this
time prohibited or not named, are to be included
in the list above.mentioned. 3. As doubts often
arise whether white cotton goods, when checked
or striped, or otherwise similarly designed, are
to be considered as non-transparent or demi-
transparent, and seeing the great difference in
the Custom-house duties on these articles, it
is ordained, that in the number of goods of
this description, of which the duty on non-
transparent is fixed at 70 copecs, and on the tran-
sparent and demi-transparent at 2 roubles 20
copecs per lb., those shall be considered as non-
transparent, which in the pound weight, contain less
than 94 archines square. Those on the contrary
which contain more than 9i, and not more than 11
archines square, shall pay 1 rouble 40 copecs, instead
of 2 roubles 20 copecs in silver money per lb. The
Minister of Finance is furthermore authorised to
make, during the year 183 S, such changes as may, ,
by the practice of the interval, appear necessary with
regard to the contents of the weight of the above-
mentioned articles, by giving the trading public due
notice of his determination. He shall besides send
to the Custom-houses and give them the necessary
instructions upon the subject of the duties to be le-
vied upon those goods which until now have been
considered transparent, even when these objects can-
not be assimilated to the above rule.
It is self-evident that this rule does not extend to the
cotton pods, upon which a duty has been imposed
of more than 70 copecs per lb. on the one descrip-
tion, and of 2 roubles 20 copecs per lb. on the other ;
nor upon those specifically mentioned, as tulles, pet-
tinets, and lace of Turkish fabric, admitted exclu-
sively into the ports of the Black Sea and the Sea
of Azof.l
