ST. PETERSBURG'', OCTOBER 9.
The following are the regulations (at length)lately
issued by his :Majesty's order, for the trade of the
Aleutian Islands, &c.
" Considering that, according to the reports that
have been laid before us, the commercial relations of
our subjects in the Aleutian Islands, and in the Rus-
sian establishments along the North-west Coast of
America, are exposed to all kinds of disadvantages
and impediments by the contraband trade : consi-
dering also, that the principal cause of these inconve-
niences arises from the want of regulations on the li-
mits of navigation along these coasts, and of a settled
rule for commercial regulations, as well in the above
places as on the east coast of Siberia, we have thought
it necessary to determine those relations by the fol-
lowing Ordinance:
I. It is not permitted to any but Russian subjects to com-
mence the whale or other fishery, or any branch of, industry
whatever, in the islands, ports, and gulfs, and in general, along
the coast of the North-west of America, from Bebring's Straits
to 51 degrees, north latitude, as well as in the Aleutian Islands,
on the east coast of Siberia, and the Kurile Islands; that is to
say, from Bebring's Straits to the South Cape, in the island of
Ooroop, viz. in 45 deg. 51 min. north latitude.
2. In consequence every foreign vessel is forbidden to touch
at the Russian Establishments enumerated in the preceding

paragraph, or even to approach them within a less distance than
100 Italian miles. Whoever acts in contradiction to this Regu-
lation shall lose his cargo. •
5. Vessels compelled by stress of weather or ►ant of prod.
dons to touch on the coast, are excepted from this prohibition.
In these two cases they are bound to thew satisfactory grounds
for their approach. Vessels sent by friendly Powers on voyages
of discovery, are also exempted from the general rule, under the
1 restriction of being furnished with passports from the Russian
Minister of the Marine. _ _

4. Foreign
reasons above

ml which touch at the coasts for the
are obliged to choose a place where

there is a Russian

5. A pilot shall be sent, if the weather permits, to foreign
merchantmen, in order to assign them an anchoring place fit for
such vessels. Every Captain acting to the contrary shall pay a
fine of 100 piastres.

6. All oared boats belonging to foreign merchantmen must
land at a place pointed out to them, where a white flag shall be
set up during the day, and a light at night. An Inspector shall
see that no merchandise be clandestinely landed or embarked.—
Whoever shall anchor at another place shall pay 50 piastres, and
he who shall carry on shore merchandise, or other effects, shall
pay 500 piastres, and the merchandise shall be confiscated.
7. If it should be necessary to unload a vessel in order to rr
pair it, the Captain is to be authorized to do so. In this case
the Captain shall deliver to the Authorities of the place a state-
ment of the nature and the quantity of his goods. Ile who shall
conceal any part of the cargo shall be charged as guilty of con-
traband trade, and pay a fine of 1,000 piastres.
8. The expenses which may be incurred in the said places
shall be discharged either in ready money or in bills of exchange.
In case the Captain should have no money, and no person will
become security for him, the Chief Authority of the place is
authorized, on the application of the Captain, to sell a certain
part of the merchandise sufficient to pay the expenses. This sale
can only be made for account of the Company, and through the
medium of the Authorities. It can under no pretext exceed the
amount of the expenses, on pain of the sequestration of the cargo
and a line of 1,000 piastres.
