ANOTHER INFRINGEMENT OF THE
:. ORDER IN COUNCIL.
Falmouth, (Janaita) July ls.-The American
brig Lucy Church, direct from New York, was
spoken off this port, on Saturday se'nnight,
bound TO Montego Bay, For orders, where, il
appears, she obtained supply of water, and
F." from some misunderstanding relative to a
Market" she proceeded next day 10 ST. Thorn
as. This communication Of American vessels
with port in this island, in defiance of the Or
der in Council, is rather more than would be
permitted to British vessels on the American
coast, for, by their Act concerning Navigation,
which came into full force on the Isl inst. il is
enacted that "every such vessel, so excluded
from the ports of the United States, that shall
enter or attempt to enter the same, in violation
of this &C., shall, with the tackle, apparel and
furniture, together witAnte tAfgo on board such
vessel, be forfeited to iie United States.
