BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JAN. 17.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a despatch from her Majesty's Char. 46 d'Affaires at Lima,
enclosing a translation of a decree of the Peruvian Govern-
ment, by which vessels, laden with guano at the Chincha
Islands, are no longer compelled to touch at Callao, of
which the following is a copy :

Lima, Nov. 26.
It being unnecessary that the vessels occupied in carry-
ing guano, and which go with this object to the Chincha
Islands, with the permission of the Government, should
return to Callao for the purpose only of fulfilling the
formality of finally closing their register, which can
be effected at the said islands, that measure causing
to the shipping the loss of some days, which can be
employed to the benefit of the long voyage which
they have to make to arrive at their distination, and at the
same time they suffer much injury by the desertion of the
crews consequent upon the vessels staying in the port of
Callao ; it is resolved, that the captains of vessels loaded
with guano who wish to depart direct from the Chincha
Islands to the place of discharge, may do so ; and in such
case they must be cleared by the chief of the station or the
government which may be established there, who shall
give notice to the Custom-house of Callao of those to whom
the permission is conceded. And in consideration that by
this measure the owners of ships derive a benefit, and that
the excessive coat occasioned by the demurrage on account
of the impossibility of exporting the quantity of tons re-
quired for the demands of the different markets ten laydays
more than those fixed in the charters for guano shall be
allowed in compensation for the concession made. At the
same time the consignees of those ships shall exact that
they have at the islands the quantity of water allotted to
them until the Government can make other arrangements.
Communicate, register, and publish this.
