houses, and the environs of the city. It is chiefly
English manufactured goods that are taken out of the
warehouses of the India Company, and the Custom.'
house deptits; to be transported either to private houses
or other places in the town.
For these several days they have been employed at
the Custom-house, is opeaing a great number of' cases
rand bales containing manufactured art:cles, for the
purpose of making cut a list of them and entering
' them at the Customhouse. The proprietors and eon.
oreti hope by these means to save the articles from
being sequestrated, as -having paid the duty and be.
410111* Swedish property. Several merchants with the
. .
Illtme view have entered large quantities of sugar and
-coffee. • Thy Custom-house. readily connives at these
