they wttl be allowed to proceed, without being liable to be
retained arl ;:;!Iszer in that place.
The same facilities %ill be granted to Russian vessels
and ships navigating the c‘ortion of the Danube which
crosses or waters the States of his Imperial and Royal
Apostolic Malest,.
Art. 5 The Imperial Gov
„,:nent of Russia engages
to commences as soon as possible
"rder to arrest the progress of sandlt‘a""4
tr„: necessary- works, in
—at the mouth of
Soulina, zull to render that pass pract; `able in such a way
that it cannot oppose any obstacle to the navigation.
These works will be resumed and pursu:'d as often as
they will be deemed necessary, and that the' season and
weather will admit of, in order to arrest a fresh .
sandbank
at the mouth of Soulina.

Art. 6. The Imperial Government of Russia enga:es
L,hcsides to have a lighthouse constructed, with as little de-
vlay as possible, at the most convenient spot at the mouth of
Soulina, and to establish lights there of the most approved
principles of the present day, with strong reflectors.
Than lights will be regularly lighted on the Ist of March
of each year, and continue as such until the month of De-
cember.

Art. 7. In order to contribute to the expense of the
works for cleansing and keeping in order stipulated in ar-
ticle 5, as well as those which the construction and keep-
ing up of the lighthouse will require, established alike for
tho mutual interest of the two empires, Austrian vessels
pass;ng the mouth of Soulina, whether freighted or in bal-
last. will pay at once, for entrance and going out, the
duties stipulated hereaf:er in a fixed and invariable man-
ner, viz., for expenses of cleansing :
Two-roasted vessels, two Spanish piastres or talaris.
Three-masted vessels, three Spanish piastres or talaris.
Steam-vessels indiscriminately, three Spanish piastres,
or talaris.

For lighthouse duty, all Austrian vessels, without re.
fer,:nee to sizo or tonnage, will pay a talari or Spanish

piastre.
Both charge; will only be levied but on vessels quitting
tl?e, mouth of the Panubc, and not on their entrance, in
order that the vessels be not stopped, and that they may
avail them:clvgs of a favourable wind to ascend the river
without loss of time.

The levying of the duties for the cleansing will take
plAee from the period when the works are commenced.
Nevertheless, every Austrian vessel which, from the year
1842, would be neeessit2.ted to employ boats, either to enter
or leave the Danube, would from that fact alone he exempt
from she charge for cleansing.
The ligl'thouse duly will be paid from the moment that
the lights are lighted..
Art. 8. In order to facilitate still more the commercial
rclitt9ns between the countries situated along the Danube
and the .D.l,ssian ports of the Black Sea, the Imperial Go-
vernment of consCiltS to assimilate the Austrian
steam navigation of !leDanubc, with respect to sanatory
precautions, to that of il:e Black Sea by the Dardanelles,
by admitting that merchancli despatched from Vienna or
Hungry by the Danube, on bonr4 Austrian steamers, be
treated at Odessa, or in the other Russian ports, in the
same manner &a that arriving from Trieste, Leghorn, and
other ports in the iY.editerranean, as often es the merchan-
dise, and the packets or hales which comprise it, are pro-
vided with the seal of the fitivian embassy at .‘"enna, or
of that of the Russian Consul at Orsowa.

Ar. 9. Toe tYco high contracting Powers, by thus re-
cognising as permanent the maintenance of the principle
of the free navigation of the Danube, have agreed that
the stipulations of th.o present convention shall remain in
force and have their full and entire effect for the space of
ten years, from the day of the exchange of ratifications.
Art. 10. The present convention shall be ratified, and
the ratifications exchanged at St. Petersburgh in two
months, or earlier, if pc,rsible.
By virtue of which the respective Plenipotentiaries have

MEMORANDUM FCR REGIMENTS OF INFANTRY ARMED WITH

THE PERCUSSION MUSKET.

Horse Guards, Sept. 10, 1840.
The General Commanding-in-Chief having det.med it
expedient to cause a reference to be made to the Master-
General and Board of Ordnance, in respect to the supply
of implements to the soldier, for takin off the lock, or the
parts thereof, for oiling it, as also to the means which the
soldier should have of taking off or replacing the nipple of
his musket, and, further, as to the price to be charged to
the soldier for the loss of copper caps, the following ex-
tracts of the communications received from the Master-Ge-
neral and Board, i❑ reply, are hereunto annexed, for the
information and guidance of the corps concerned :
" With respect to the supply of implements for taking
ff the lock, or the parts thereof, for oiling it, this depart-
ment, I am to state, has never furnished the soldier with
tools for that purpose, nor does it appear to the Master-
General and Board desirable to encourage him so to do,
more especially with the superior locks fixed to percussion
arms ; much injury being done to locks by frequent taking
out the screws and springs : but, as small detachments
might have no means of obtaining the assistance of the
sergeant armourer of the regiment, either for replacing a
defective nipple, or for taking off and oiling a lock re-
quiring that operation, the Master- General and Board
propose that each sergeant and corporal should be sup-
plied with the following articles, viz :
" One tri-armed nipple wrench, with turnscrew and
worm, one spring cramp, three spare nipples.
" Thia woold.gi,Le_ a proportion to each company of eight
of each of the former tools, and twenty-four spare nipples
a proportion which it is considered will be ample for the
objects in view.
_ _

-•` The Master-Gcneral and Board are of opinion that
the price to be charged to the soldier for the loss of cop-
per caps should be ten shillings per thousand."
By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill,
Commanding-in. Chief,

CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM.

Horse Guards, Sept. 8, 1840•
The General Commanding-in-chief hating had under
his consideration the means of carrying the percussion caps
by corps supplied with ►percussion arms, has been pleased
to approve of the following arrangements :-
1. In thc case of infantry regiments, the general supply
of percussion caps is to be carried by the men in a tin
magazine, calculated to contain from 80 to 100 caps. This
tin magazine is to be carried in the pouch with the ammu-
nition.

The caps intended for immediate use arc to be carried
in a small pouch made of patent leather on the outside, for
the better resistance of wet. The pouch is to be attached
to the coat on the right side by means of a ring, and to be
so fixed as to be clear of the belts.

2. The pouch, in the case of regiments armed with rifles,
is to be attached to the waist-belt.

3. The pouch, in the case of cavalry regiments, is to
be attached to the sword-bait,

Approved patterns of the pouches and tin magazines,
intended both for the cavalry and infantry, have been
sealed and deposited fur reference at the Board of Gene-
ral Officers.

The first supply of the above equipment trill be provided
by the Board of Ordnance, on requisition from regiments,
through this department.
By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill,
Commanding-in- Chief,
