Sir,—llis Excellency the First Minister of State, with
date 31st August last, makes me the following commu-
nication :
" The Ministry of Government of the kingdom writes,
with date of to day, the folloWing to the Political Chiefs
of the provinces of the Sea-board:---6 In consequence of
an inquiry moved by the Political Chief of Murcia on
the27th of November last, relative to the trans-shipment
of merchandise and goods by those vessels which, on
account of damages, are unable to continue their voyages,
her Majesty was pleased to command that the Sanitary
Council should be desired to communicate what might be
esteemel convenient on the subject; which body, on the
9th of February last, represented that it was not con-
sidered improper to allow of an operation in which the
national hospitality was concerned, and which interested
the preservation of the public imealth, always provided
that the sanitary authorities should jointly co-operate
with those of the revenue. In consequence of which,
her Majesty was pleased to command that this opinion
should be transmitted to the Department of Finance, in
order that that Ministry might make known whether
there was any difficulty to the putting the said arrange-
ment into execution accordingly;' to which, by Royal
Order of the 17th July last, this Ministry has received
the following reply :-6 The Queen (whom God preserve!)
is informed of your Excellency's communication of the
17th March last, inserting for the due resolution of this
Ministry of Finance, the opinion given by the National
Sanitary Council in the expedient drawn up in conse-
quence of the refusal of the Administrator of Customs
of Carthagene to consent to the trans-shipment of the
cargo of the British brig Harby, which arrived at that
port from Ibraila and Constantinople on the 21st No-
vember la,t, and which trans-shipment was allowed by
the Sanitary Beard to be performed, at the petition of
the captain of the vessel and his national consul, on ac-
count of I er being unable, through damages, to convey
her cargo to the Lazaretto of Mahon, for which she was
bound.' And her Majesty, in conformity with what is
expressed by the Sanitary Council, and agreeably to the
opinion of the Directory General of Customs and Tariffs,
has been pleased to command, that every vessel found to
be in the same state as the brig Harby, shall be per-
mitted to trans-ship the whole or part of her cargo,
always on condition that no mercantile transaction shdil
intervene in the process, and that the vessel shalt be in
an unfit state through damages to convey the said cargo
to the proper;Lazaretto; the authorities of Sanity and the
Revenue being required to proceed jointly, in order that
the operation may be conducted with the necessary pre-
cautions for the prevention of fraud.' Which I commu-
nicate according to Royal Order transmitted through his
Excellency the Minister of Government of the Kingdom,
in order that in the cases which may occur to you, you
should co-operate with the other authorities, so that the
said trans-shipments may be performed according to the
terms above indicated."
Which I communicate to you, in order that it may be
published in your establishment for mercantile infor-
mation.

TLEREAGII PAPERS.—The long-expected " Memoirs
and Correspondence of Viscount Castlereagh, Second
Marquis of Londonderry," edited by his brother, are
published this day by Mr. Colburn, printed uniformly
with the Wellington and Nelson dispatches. The im-
portance of the publication of the Castlereagh Papers at
the present moment may be judged of from the follow-
ing extract from a letter of Mr. Alison, the distinguished
author of "The History of Europe," quoted in the pre_
face:—`' I cannot Aequatcly express (says Mrs.

the gratification and intertst which these palters, .
and all, have afforded me. I consider them a
able materials for history. Those regarding
and Government of Ireland during the I theebellion-and
after it, are of the highest importance, especially from
the vehement manner in which tkta,t, measure has since
been assailed, and the uneeasirg efforts made to get it
