following circular addressed by Mr. Seward to the United
States Consuls, respecting the restrictions imposed upon
trade with certain ports in North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Louisiana :
Department of State, Washington, May 30, 1832.
Srn,—Referring to Circular Letter of this Department,
No. 12, dated May 12, transmitting the Proclamation of
the President relaxing the blockade of certain parts of the
United States, together with the regulations of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in regard to trade with the ports thus
opened by proclamation, and prescribing your duties in the
premises, I have now to transmit for your further informa-
tion and guidance additional instructions upon the same
subject.
The Secretary of the Treasury has communicated to this
department a copy of his letter of the 20th inst. to collectors
of customs at ports in the loyal States, prohibiting the
shipment of certain articles, contraband of war, to the ports
of Beaufort, in the State of North Care Tina, Port Royal, in
and NOW Orleans, in the State
the State of South Carolina,
of Louisiana.
All vessels having ott board the articles which are thus
indicated by the Secretary of the Treasury as contraband
will be refused clearances for the ports abovementioned, or
either of them.

These articles, are the following :—Cannons, mortars
fire-arms, piste:is, bombs, grenades, firelocks, flints, matches,'
powder, salt,tietre, balls, bullets, pikes, swords, sulphur,
helmet or hoarding caps, sword belts, saddles and bridles
(always excepting the quantity of the said articles which
may be necessary for the defence of the ship and of those
who compose the crew), cartridge bag material, percussion
and other caps, clothing adapted for uniforms, resin, sail
cloth of all kinds, hemp and cordage, masts, ship timber,
tar and pitch, ardent spirits, military persons in the service
of the fmeniy, despatches of the enemy, and articles of like
chars.cter with those specially enumerated.
You are also informed that collectors of customs of the
'United States have been also instructed to require bonds,
with sufficient sureties, conditioned for the faithful fulfil-
ment of all the conditions imposed by law or departmental
regulations from shippers of the following articles to the
ports opened, or to any other ports from which they may
easily be, and are probably intended to be re-shipped in aid
of the existing insurrection, namely :
Liquors of all kinds, coals, iron, lead, copper, tin, brass,
telegraphic instruments, wire, porous cups, platina, sul-
phuric acid, zinc, and all other telegraphic materials,
marine engines, screw propellers, paddle-wheels, cylinders,
cranks, shafts, boilers, tubes for boilers, fire-bars, and
every article or any other component part of an engine or
boiler, or any article whatever which is, can, or may become
applicable for the manufacture of marine machinery or for
the armour of vessels. _

In accordance with the spirit of these instructions to col-
lectors of customs, by which stringent restriztions are im-
posed upon vessels of the United States, you are specially
instructed to refuse licenses to all vessels which, whatever
the ostensible destination, are believed by you, on satisfac-
tory grounds, to be intended for ports or places in posses-
sion or under control of insurgents against the United
States, or from whence there is imminent danger that the
goods. wares, or merchandise of whatever description laden
such vessels, will fall into possession or under the control
jof such insurgents ; and in all cases where, in your udg-
ment, there is ground for apprehension that any goods,
wares, or merchandise shipped at your port, will be used, in
any way, for the aid of the insurgents or the insurrection,
or be transported to any place under insurrectionary con-
trol, and used to give aid or comfort to such insurgents.
In short, you are specially instructed to refuse every
application for a license for any vessel having on board as
part of her cargo any of the articles designated in either of
the lists furnished by the Secretary of the Treasury.
You will perceive that these lists have been prescribed
under the powers conferred by law on the Secretary of the
Treasury to regulate our domestic trade, and security by
bond is required from all American shippers of goods to
the designated ports against any abuse of the privilege, and
you will readily understand that foreign shippers cannot be
placed on a more favourable footing than American mer-
chants in the loyal ports of the United States.
am, Sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
