the occupation of Plante to Sir Archibald Campbell's

deiced on all hands. The Antbasad,ir from Ava, it
was presnmed, had proposed terms .hat could not be
listened to, or failed to give that of good liith on the
part of his Royal master, which was desirable and
Sir Archliald was preparitu to pro eel on the capital,
and to move as sonn as he could obtain water convey-

nereas, we have taken into nur serious considera-
tion, and exps ience has shewn, that the laws and regu-
latithis which have hitherto existed in Netherlands
India, with regard to entiepot and entrepot duties;
also the trans-,hipping in the roads of goods subject to
impost and export duties, have not had that salutary
effect which was intended; also that the laws and ri gu-
lations successively framed are not sufficiently known,
in order to give to the Public, by their distinctness and
comprehensiveness, that entire confidence and security
which we required to extend and establish a permit-
wnt general trade, on liberal principles, and p.irsicu-
I fly to encourae the native and inter.colcnial trade
—so IL is that we have thought fit to decree, and do
decree as toliows:

for the trans-shipment of goods in theyurts of Netherlands India.

cially thi.se appearing by the regulation of the 28th

difications, of whatever denoinination, till now in force in
Netherlands India.

*. 2. At all ports in Netherlands India, where the in-
teicsts of commerce will thereby be promoted, and
