CowEs, July % considerable inconve-
niences having been experienced by ships of
the u. States, On arrival in this Country for
orders and information as to markets---i
have thought il my duty to give the follow
ing informa ION, which, if duly attended to,
will obviate every difficulty, and the ships
will have free admission Immediately on
their presenting themselves in the road OF
Cowes.
BY an act of parliament passed in the
IS n year of his Britannia maJes,y's reig;,
chap. 10 ALL ships and vessels arriving
or touching at any port OF u. Britain, With
cott ION or other enumerated articles liable to
retain infection. are subjected TO restraint OF
quarantine, whereby much cxpencc is incur
red in obtaining orders in council for their
release, besides detention-uuisss such ship
so laden be provided with declaration of
the shipper, sw orn TO before magistrate IN
America, and certified also BY the British
consul, or by two known British i,erchants
where no consul resides, that such cotton Or
other enumerated articles (as may beg are
the growth and produce OF America, or, are
not of the growth and produce OF Turkey,
Africa. or West Barbary.
1t is therefore reCommended that every
ship so laden may be furnished With the re-
Gle growth, whether bound to q b. toI
importation, or translentiy oound TO II land,
the Baltic, or elsewhere, after touching in q.
Britain.
All ships bound to g. Britain for orders,
or coming in through stress OF weather,
damage, loss, or accidents OF the scas, are
permitted under the authority oil ,he "b,ve
mentioned act, to perform their sna,aheiOe
at Cowes---but |, is to BIZ observ ina! no
person must quit the ship on ner arrival, IN
til the cus,om house superin tendant has oeen
along side, and giving the legal permission to
lana

ljesty, chap. 6e, regulating tobacco lmporta
tions being yet in existence (notwihs anding
| The expiration of the 27tn OF the king, tor
Carrying into execution treaty OF amity
and navigation with the Unred otates) 1t is
desirable to impress on the minds or mer
chants, snip owners and masters engaged
in The tobacco cargaes, whether ship be

the world that no ship so circumstanced
can touch at or wait for orders at any por
in tbe British channel, except tor Cowes or
