DECREE.
Department of War and Marine.
Monte Video, June 19, 1856.
Expeiiencs having proved that the Society of Pilots for
the service of the navigation from this port to that of
Buenos Ayres have done nothing but injure the consignees
or the masters of the ships which want a pilot at a great
distance from the port, without any guarantee for the in-
terests which are placed under his charge, a cir nmstance
which weighs on the Authority which has allowed these
societies, without any responsibility which may save the
consequences arising from the inexperience or carelessness
of the pilots who receive under their direction the life and
fortune of those who are on board : the Authority being
interested in preventing the commerce from being preju-
diced by any of the causes which may take place in the
above-mentioned sense, the President of the Republic
directs and decrees :
Art. Ist. The first and other societies of pilots, created
by the Decree of March 27, of ISSI, derived from th fiist
petition which caused its installation, are without any
effect.

Art. 2,1. The CAptain of the Port shall leave to the mas-
ters of vessels and consignees the liberty of choosing the
pilot they may like to conduct their ships to the port of
their destination in the river.

Art. 3d. When vessels from outside coming up the river
have no consignees in this place, and the captain does not
come on shore, and asks fir a pilot from on board, the
Captain of the Port will provide one, employing the first
who may present himself, if lee has his license, and is a re-
sident in the republic.
Art. 4th. The Captain of the Port will have on a small
hoard a list of the pilots registered for the service of the
river, in order that the persons interested may choose
whom they wish to conduct their ships.
Art. sth. The Captain of the Port will exact from every
pilot the dollar which is established for the passport which
he ought to take on board, and he will embody the produce
of every month in the account of his entries which he is to
transmit to the Treasury.
