much displensure the continual arrival OF merchant

not be ignorant That according The laws in force
this port closed 10 foreign commerce. only on
account Of the notorety and date of this law, but be-
cause the Mexican Consus in all countries have refused
legaze by their signatures The documents which the
tariff requires for the legal importation Of all kinds OF
merchandise in every port of the Republic. The Govern
ment has also learned with great disgust, that greet
portion Of this merchandise is Of the class prohibited by
The Tariff and that others have been admitted by the
VOTED authorities al very great reduction of The ord
nary duties, which is power exclusively vested in the
National Congress
On this account and il cannot be doubted That these
