ITS date, the importation of slaves aud lumber,
horses and u.uies, asses neat cattle. sheep, hogs,
ana every other species Otliy suck AMI, ave pro-
visions. and also. otcvery kind of provisions what
ever tbcef, pork ami butter exceptedJ into the
British West India colonies, in ary shps or ves-
sells belonging to the subjects of any state in a.
mity with ms naiesiy, according to tie usual re.
gniauons and then provides, that no such YES
se!s shall, however, bc permitted, after the first

vessel bringing the same, according to the adj

inthe tbove order, it is rather difficult to ac-
coun 'or the reason that occasioned the different

although IN the first instance, the tonnage duty

will undoubtedly affect all vessels CARRYING the a
bove articles. who may also have FIST, on board.
after the fl st J"ly. We fear this may occasion
great trouble and confusion in collecting the du-
Ties, and some difficulty will arise from the diff

were laid by the late act of assembly
