" It having been represented to his Highness the hey, that, not-

gunpowder, the smuggling of that article is carried to a great extent

craft that resort thither for the coral fishery, and other purposes, by
whom it is sold to the Arabs, Kobyles, and other enemies of the
Algerine Goveniment ; and also that great disorder and riot cow
stantly occur at the taverns, liquor-sbope, and the houses of ill-fame
kept by Europeans within the said town of Bons:—the Govern-
tr.ent deems it expedient to inform the respective European Consuls-
General to this Regency, that, with a view of putting a stop to such
contraband traffic and disorderly conduct, tbc Admiral Ali Rais is
about to be sent to Bona for the purpose of promulgating and put.
ting in force the following decrees.

quantity of one Algerine pound, be found in any house in the town
ut Bona, the same, together with the house and all property found

vessel or boat in the harbeur, (except such as put in there by stress
of weather or other legitimate cause) exceeding a quarter of a can-
tar Algerine weight (about ::.51bs. English), the same as well as the
vessel or boat and cargo shall be forfeited, and the crew sent out of
the kingdom forthwith.
" it. That all Europeans (the Vice-Consuls and their families es.
cepted) now residing at Bona, and for whose conduct the Vios.

them shall be paid.
