Dad l3Amcricsu ships have oflate Arrived
here again, ana by the last Danish decree
they are not even allowed 10 transport the
goods from there 20 Altoona. In the frussian
domiaions vigorous measures are likewise
taken against the import, and it seems that
Russia will likewise be very sharp inregard
20 the vessels coniHg there. so that q. e mavi-
CATION to the north and the Baltic. will this
year prebaby be subject to vast dasgers and
difficulties. 1t l., 10 he hoped THAI things
may soon take 4 more favorable turn, for as
It IS now situated. it is almost in, possible to
undertake any thing.

The following has appeared here this
We. Frederick William, King Of Prus-
STA, stc.''
Although we considered the. means
taken in consequence OF the Treaty of Til
sit. 18th June, 1908, which had fortheir OBJ
Ject the entire exclusion of English COM
merce, as being sufficient FOR the purpose for
which they were intended, VIC are now con.
unced OF the com:rary, particularly by the
measures lately taken by his imperial ma
|es,y the Emperor Napoleon. and therefore
are now under the necessity OF taking new
measures TOR the purpose of imposing the
above.
LIST. After the 1st day of April, no vessel
which may arrive from any European port,
having on board any ofthc articles prohibited
by the continental system, shall be admitted
Drugs shall alone Tag exempted
I'd. No produce, commonly termed CO.
Iomai, the produce Of the East or West
Indies, shall be pcrinitted to be imported
from any European port, IS il is not To be
supposed that any OF the continental powers,
who possess colonies, import more than
they wan. for their own consumption Co
loniai and such other produce rs is not Eu-
ropean, can only be Imported direct out OF
American ports, and out Of such other East
and West India countries and colonies with
which France is in friendly intercourse
All East and West India produce OH board
OF vessel coming from an European port,
shall be confiscated
Sd. AS in such large undertakings, it can.
the opposed that the cargoes are the pro-
perry OF different shippers, it shall not be
farther permitted that such cargoes can be
entered as beng the property of more than
one house, and. for each argo only one pro-
prietor Can appear and prove his proper
y.
4th. The examination of the slIps and
cargo's papers. log books, the declaration
OF the Captain and crew, remains as before
ordered, in the power of the different COM
missioners appointed in our ports for that
purpose; at the same time, for the more eff
lectually preventing all collisions, hence
forth all the certificates, generally termed
certificates OF origin, shall be communicat.
ed to the Imperial French consul general,
consul or vice consul who may reside in the
port where the vessel arrives. Should the
latter object to the entry OF the cargoes, the
above commissioners are Immediately to re-.
port to our department of foreign relations,
and await the decision.
5th. All goods and produce, not Europe
an, shall, upon being landed. he taxed for
consumption. and no difference shall be made
between what is declared to DE for home
consumption and re-eXportation, as we are
rather willing to deprive ourselves of the
profits which attend transits, than to expose
ourselves TO difficulties and uncertainty of
forwarding into other countries goods of
doubtful origin.
9Th Every order and regulation which
our board OF trade, police of the port, &c.
may issue, shall be Immediately executed,
and our department of foreign relations have
1t afterwards in their power, upon repre-
sentation being made TO them to alter on a.
rlend in any way they may find most pro
Per. Every complaint against the laws cf
the commissioners, are to be made 10 that
department.
9TH. In the same manner where expediti
Gus measures are requisite, cur military,
police, &c arc required to obey. provision
ally, the orders of the commissioners, who
are Immediately 10 inform our department
of foreign relations of such requisitions. &c.
as they may have been obliged to make.
9Th. As respects the land trade, all CO.
lonial and European goods, shall, as hither-
to, be permitted 10 enter from all states with
which we are in amity; they must, however,
be accompanied by document of the ma
gistrates of the place, who must testify to
their unquestionsble origin which certif-
cate must be attested by our council--but
their goods must also be Immediately taxed,
as is provided in the 5th article.
We repeat the threats cc-tained in the
above mentioned decree Of the 18th June,
1908. as to all persons contravening, aud
shall not only punish all our subjects, who
act in opposition, but particularly our com
mcrcial commissioners, who do not follow
our Instructions, &c &c.
