stances, to regulate the DUTIES and DRAWBACKS on

merchandise, into or from the United Kingdom, in Foreign
Ships or Vessels, than are charged or granted on the like goods,
wares, and merchandise, when imported or exported in British
ships or vessels.
And whereas it is expedient that his Majesty should be em.
powered to allow the importation or exportation of any goods,
wares and merchandize, in foreign vessels, upon payment of
the like duties, and with the like drawbacks, bounties and al.
lowances, as are now by law paid or granted upon similar goods,
wares and merchandise, when imported or exported in British
vessels, from or to those countries in which no other duties are
charged, or other drawbacks, bounties or allowances granted
upon the importation or exportation of any goods, wares or
merchandize into or from such country, in British vessels, than
are charged or granted upon such goods when imported or ex-
ported into or from such countries in foreign vessels :
Be it therefore enacted, by the King's most Excellent Ma-
jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords
Spiri-

assembled, and by the authority of thesame, That from and after

Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, or by
his Illajesty's order or orders in Council, to be published from
time to time in the London Gazette, to authorize the importa-
tion or exportation into or from the United Kingdom, of any
goods, wares or merchandize, in foreign vessels, upon payment
of such and the like duties only, and with the like drawbacks,
bounties and allowances, as are granted or charged upon simi-
lar goods, wares or merchandize, when imported or exported
in British vessels : Provided always, That before any such
order or orders shall be issued, satisfactory proof shall have been
