LAST ACTS OF THE CONGRESS OF sovE-
REIGyS.
The deliberations he Congress at AK
la.Cbapelle have terminated we now
present the grand official result-the last
protocol and declarations OF the Allied
Sovereigns or their Ministers, towards
which all their consultations tended, and
with the signature of which their assem-
bly, is finally broken up, and its Illustrlous
members dispersed. These documents are
interesting IN point ofrform, as they exhi-
BIZ the completion of the work which has
so .ong attracted so >much attentIon-but
otherwise their contents are modestiy ex-
pressed. With the partial good, which is
likely to Gow from Aix-la-Chapeile, there
is certainly as little general evil, united,
as ever did result, or ever can result from
the meetings of persons who possess, we
may say conformity, millions of men at
their command. Of the four documents
published BY congress, the first is an ac-
acknowledgement of the four Allied Powers
Of the tranquil state of France, OF her ful-
fiIment of all her existing engagements, OF
the adequacy Of the pledges which she
offers for their completion, and ,conse-
quent acknowledgement OF the proprlety
of Withdrawing the army of occupation
The king of France IS then invited to
make one of the congress. This invitation
is in the second docnment accepted m

COPY OF A LETTER FROM MABANHAM.
United States Consulate,
.Maraaham, 10th Dee. 1918.

SIR
| take the liberty 10 address you these
lines, and hope you will have the goodness
to give TO the same as much publicity as
possible, for the information of American
citizens, who may henceforth send their yes
sels to this port
Vessels without regular bill of health,
are subjected, in this port, TO quarantine
of eight days, to be prolonged at the plea
sure OF the health head officer, who is ex-
tremely severe in such cases. During the
quarantine, said officer visits The vessels as
many times as he thinks proper, and for
each visit he charges IL dols. % cts. as also
% cents per diem for two health clerks on
board. There are several other private
charges which generally attend the quaran-
tine. Masters of vessels are hereby request
ed to provide themselves with regular bill
OF heath from the respective authority in
the United States.
American vessels have generally been
admitted INTO this port under tranquil, but
the collector administrator d 'Aiffandega)
has lately changed his conduct, and is de-
termined not to allow any more franquiaS
and has gone SO far as TO say, that Ameri-
can cleaFances are produced by the officers
OF the custom houses, without mentioning
the packages, marks and numbers Of The
cargoes, on purpose to enable the masters
of vessels OF their conslgnees to smuggle.
Franqua entry is of course denied to all
vessels except those in distress, if they prove
with authentic documents, such as custom
house clearances. charter parties, bills OF la
ding, sc. that they were bound 10 another
port.
Masters of vessels will save greafmany
charges, incoDveniencies and trouble, by
having the marks, packages, and numbers
inserted in the custom house clearances, as
also mentioning in the same, the ports OF
destination, and the packages sc. which
are destined to each port that is. when a
vessel is bound TO more than one port,
otherwise they are subject to be compelled
either to leave the port within three days,
or to land the whole of their cargoes and to
pay the duties.
| have the honor to be, very respectfully,
sir, your most obedient humble iervant.
