(CIRCULAR.)

Treasury Department, August g.
Sra—YOu will herewith Peceive the copy of a
Proclamation of the President of the United States,
announcing, that certain British Orders in Council
were not withdrawn on the 10th day of June last,
and, consequently, that the trade renewable o❑ the
event of the said Order being withdrawn, is to be
considered as- under the operation of the several
A6ts.by which such trade was suspended. The At;l
to amend and continue in force certain parts of the
Ati, entitled " An Aal to interdict the commer-
cial- intercourse between the United States and
Great-. Britain and France, and their dependencies,
and for other purposes, passed on the 28th'ot June,
is therefore in every respect applicable to Great
Britain-and her dependencies, as well as to France
and her dependencies, any thing in my Circular of
the -28th of June last to the contrary notwithstand-
ing." It results, that from the receipt of this, you
must, in every instance, except as hereafter ex-
pressed, -refuse clearances for British ports, requir-
ing, as usual, bonds from all vessels bound-to per-
mitted ports, in the manner provided by the Third
Section above-mentioned.

But as -Many British vessels have or may come
into the ports of the United States, in consequence
of the President's Proclamation of the I,9th of April
last, he' direEts, that you will permit such British
vessels to depart without giving bond, either with
ballast., or with tbe.cargo they may have on board
when notification is made of the inclosed Proclama-
tion. It being, -however, understood, That this it“
diligence shall not be extended to any other vessels
than such as are now in the ports of the United
States, or such as may hereafter arrive; having sail-
ed from a foreign port before information of the in-
closed Proclamation shall have been receiVed at such
port. The President also direels, that, until a de-
cision from Congress on that unexpe,*d point shall
have been, obtained, or until otherWise-inStruaed,
seizures or prosecutions for supposed contraventions
of either of the above-mentioned Mt, or of the
Non-IntercOurSe seEtion- of the Ist of March last;
arising from Acts which would, in conformity with
his Proclamation of the 19th April last, have been
considered as lawful, shall be suspended in the fol-
lowing cases, viz.— •

1. All vessels which have entered a British port
since the loth of June last, or which may hereafter
enter such port, having sailed from the same before
information of the inclosed Proclamation had been
received at the port of departure, so far as relates to
such forfeiture, penalty which may accrue, or have
accr=ued, by reason of their having thus entered a
British -port.
2. All vessels which have arrived either from
British ports, or with British merchandize, in the
United States, subsequent to the loth of June last,
and also all vessels which may hereafter thus ar-
rive, having sailed from the United States before in-
formation of the inclosed Proclamation should have
been received at the port of departure, so far as re-
lates to any forfeiture or penalty. accruing from hav-
ing arrived or arriving in the United States from
British ports, or with British merchandize.

3. All vessels now owned by Citizens of the
United States, and sailing under the American flag,
which being in a foreign port at the time when the
inclosed Proclamation shall be made known at said
port, shall with all due diligence depart therefrom,
and return without delay to the United States, so far
as relates to any forfeiture or penalty accruing from
their arriving in the United States from British
ports, or with British merchandize:

In the above-mentioned cases of vessels arriving
in .the- United States, and which are•for the present
exempted from seizure, the vessels and cargoes may
be permitted to make entry. The time when the
inclosed Proclamation shall have been known at the
port of departure respeEtively must be ascertained by
the best means in your power, and you may refer
doubtful cases•to this department. Application may
of course still be made in all cases for an absolute
remission of the forfeitures and penalties in the
manner provided for by law; ,the instruEtions herein
given to abstain from prosecutions and seizures in
the.. above mentioned cases being only intended, to
prevent the expences and inconveniences to which
the parties concerned would otherwise be exposed.

The Colleaor of

We arc happy to learn, by the ship Carmarthen,
which left Bombay the 18th of, April last, that
peace pervades every part of our possessions in the
Eist. , The war with Travancore has been terminat-
ed successfully, the Rajah having agreed to Accept
the terms offered by the Madras Government. The
Minister who.bas been the cause of this war com-
mencing, immediately on the news of hostilities
ceasing, quitted with haste the TraVancore domi-
nions, conscioes be must meet with degradation, if
not punishment, That ambitious chief, HOLKAII,
we hear, has it not in his power to 'disturb the unit-
quillity of his neighbours, t►is troops having mutinied
for want of pay. All is said to be successful at the
Persian Court.
