drawbacks, bounties, or allowances, when imported into,
or exported from, such foreign country in British vessels,
as are levied or allowed on similar goods, wares, and mer-
chandise, when imported or exported in vessels of such

And whereas by an Act passed in the fifth year of his
present Majesty's reign, intituled " An Act to indemnify
all persons concerned in advising, issuing, or acting under
a certain Order in Council for regulating the tonnage duties
on certain foreign vessels, and to amend an Aet of the last
Session of Parliament for authorising his Majesty, ander
certain circumstances, to regulate the duties and drawbacks
of goods imported or exported in any foreign vessels," his
Majesty is authorised (in certain cases), by and with the

and Ireland, or Of any other of his Majesty's dominions, of
any foreign vessels, upon payment of such and the like
duties of tonnage only as are or may be charged or granted
upon or in respect of similar British vessels :
And whereas satisfactory proof has been laid before his
Majesty and his Privy Council, that goods, wares, and mer-
chandise imported into or exported from the ports of the
United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, the State of Colombia,
and the United States of Mexico respectively, are charged
with the same duties, and are allowed the same drawbacks,
bounties, or allowances, when imported or exported in
British vessels as are levied or allowed on similar goods,
wares, and merchandise, when imported into or exported
from the said ports in vessels of the said United Provinces
of Rio de la Plata, and of the said State of Colombia, and
of the said United States of Mexico respectively; and that
British vessels are charged with no other or higher tonnage
duties on their entrance into the ports of Rio de la Plata,
Colombia, and Mexico respectively, than are levied on
vessels of the said United Provinces of Rio de la Plata,
the said State of Colombia, and the said United States of
Mexico respectively :
His Majesty, by virtue of the powers vested in him by
the Acts above recited, and by and with the advice of his
Privy Council, is therefore pleased to order, and it is here-
by ordered, that from and after the date of this Order,
vessels of the United Provinces of Rio tie la Plata, of the
State of Colombia, and of the United States of Mexico,
respectively, entering the ports of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland in ballast, or laden direct from
any of the ports of Rio de la Plata, Colombia, and Mexico,
respectively, or departing from the ports of the said United
Kingdom, together with the cargoes on board the same,
such cargoes consisting of articles which may be legally
imported or exported, shall not be subject to any other or ,
higher duties or charges whatever than are or shall be
levied on British vessels entering or departing from such
ports, or on similar articles when imported into, or ex-
ported from, such ports in British vessels ; and also that
such articles, when exported from the said ports in vessels
of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, of the State
of Colombia, and of the United States of Mexico, respec-
tively, shall be entitled to the same bounties, drawbacks,
and allowances that are granted on similar articles when
exported in British vessels.
Provided nevertheless, that nothing herein contained
shall extend, or be construed to extend, to any duties or
charges on account of tonnage, light or harbour dues, pilot-

local charges to which any vessels of the United Pro-
vinces of Rio tie la Plata, of the burthen of 120 tons, or
of any less burthen, are now by law liable, in the ports of
any of his Majesty's dominions ; it appearing to his Ma-
jesty and his Privy Council, that British vessels, of the
burthen of 120 tens or of any less bitrthen, are subject in
the ports of the said United Provinces to higher duties and
charges than are levied in those ports on vessels of the said
United Provinces of the burthen of 120 tons, or of any less
