You doubtless will have received

This decree has deprived even resi-.
dent, patented merchant, Of the right OF
receiving and disposing of his own, as well
as the property Of his friend, except in case
where it may arrive to his own number, IN
rotation.
There are eight patented merchants at
this place, FIVE of which are lndlgenes, ana
three only Americans.
1t is now ascertained, that it is the inten..
ton ofthe emperor, that the business OF
alivessels arriving here, whether directly
consigned or not, shall be done by sala
merchants, 10 rotation, and that the SAD
Decree will be very vigorously enforc-
ed.
A deputation of American merchants
have lately been on to Gonaives, had an au'
dience with the emperor, strongly remon'
s,rated against the injustice of the decree
and pointed GU, to him the destructive
consequences which might be expected to
ensue, from it. being enforced. He, how
ever, suffered them to return without CIV
inp them the smallest satisfaction whats 1
yer.
| therefore most earnestly recommend
to YOU and all your friends, not to MAKE
apy more shipments to this island, untle
some favorable change takes Placs' %
