" Causal. Orris, bLiiica I. •

" having been represented to the Lords of his Ma-
jesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, that the Officers of
Customs require a Special Order of Council for the exportation
of arms and ammunition for Alexandria, as being on the coast of
Africa, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of
the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs, that it was not in-
tended that the General Order of the 22d November last, should
extend to the ports of Africa situated within the Straits of Gib-
raker, and that their Lordshjps are, therefore, of opinion that
the Officers of Customs should be instructed, not to require in
future Special Orders for the exportation of arms and ammuni-
tion to the ports of Africa which are so situated.

actual tare to be ascertained, or where the Deicers of the Reve-
