cargnes (of american ships in Danish ports y
In answer to the first question we have
to say, that lift appears by the ships s. car
goes papers that the goods were shipped IN
an American port and the same are entirely
Tor American account, or for that of Danes
or subjects to friendly neutral and allied
powers, no further or other proofs OF origin

However, to remove all doubt respect
ing the authenticity of these documents, and
the correctness of the entry made. we have
caused that those American SHIPS which in
tend TO come direct to Danish ports, must
apply to the Danish chargs d'aifaires in
North America, or his vice consul, and take
an attestation of the cargo, the destiuatio,,
and property, as also the name of the ship
and captain. But, in respect to those vessels
which arrive in the royal Danish ports, ioa.
