The following has been received at Lloyd's :
" Office of Committee of Privy
" Council for Trade, -Whitehall, Oct. 24.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Com-
mittee of Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you,
for the information of the Committee at Lloyd's, the
enclosed translation of a Decree lately issued by the
Mexican Government, introducing a new method of
ascertaining the tonnage of vessels for payment of duty.
" I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
(Signed) "J. MACGREGOR.

cree

" Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, General of Divi-
sion, Yeremerito de la Patria, and Provisional Prpsi..
dent of the Mexican Republic, to all its inhabitants.
Know ye,
" That having observed the inaccuracy of the me-
thod established by the circular of the 21st October,
1826, for the admeasurement of merchant vessels,
whereby the result of the calculation of tonnage gave
a smaller number of tons than the vessels actually
measured, the national exchequer thus failing to re-
ceive the dues legitimately belonging to it, in conse-
quenceelilbtlii byarticle of
of the excess of the divisor assigned in that
o f circular,

In e this
the err, os
or;
the Representatives of the Departments,
" I have thought fit to decree as follows :
" Art. 1. From the date of the publication of this
decree the captains of all the ports of the two seas of
the Republic, shall observe in the admeasurement of
merchant vessels the following rules, having reference
to the Measures of Burgos :
" Take half the sum of the length upon the deck
and the keel, multiplied by three-fourths the beam,
and half the floor, multiply this product by half the
depth of hold, divide the result by 41,078, and the
quotient will give the number of tons on which duty
is to be taken, on the hypothesis that the linear pro-
portion of the Paris foot to that of Burgos is as seven
to six, and of the English foot to that of Burgos as 12
to 10.97.

" Art. 2. The measurement of the vessels if to be
taken from inside to inside of the timbers.

" Art. 3. The captains of the ports shall be respon-
sible for the due execution of this decree.
