SMUGGLING OVER PIE BORDER TO BE PRE-
vISTRD.-Mr. Sargent, Commissioned OF Gus
toms, viii leave WashiE gton next week ior tue
frontier, to carry into effect the law ana regu-
lations TO prevent smuggling. lnese, ne says
in his circular, have been made necessary by
the extent to which the revenue laws have
been eyaded and the very lax manner in which
thew have been enforced by some of the officers
of customs The examination OF ira velers bag
gage ill be vigorously performed; but In the
= e1amin alton, the omcers OF customs Will oe
carefuI not to disturb their contents more than
is necessary to ascertain whether they contain
any goods liable to duty, and upon whicn du-
ties have not been paid. The examination
must, however, be sufficiently thorough TO as
certain whether they contain sucn goods, lnclu-
ding laces and jewels, or not.
Baggage passing from the united States will
be examined by proper officer, and sealed up
in order to prevent its being disturbed while
The regulations, amongst other things, re-
quire that in closing and sealing trunks boxes,
bales, barrels. or other envelopes or packages
Of any kind, the proper officers, in order to
guard against false bottoms, movable hinges,
and other fraudulent contrivances, will take
care the same are secured by cords or
wire and additional seals that they cannot be
opened, nor any part of the contents taken
from them, without removing, breaking, or
cutting such cords, wires, or seals.
Seals are to be used for sailing vessels,
steamers, boats, cars, and other vehicles en-
faged in trade between the United States and
other countries.
Trunks, travelling bags, boxes, and every
thing containing articles Of wearing apparel or
other personal effects, or purporting to do so,
must be opened and their contents thoroughly
ins pected by the proper officer OF the customs,
who shall remove the seals from the car con-
tanning such baggage. No trunk. travelling
bag, valise, or other envelope Is to be delivered
or taken away until thus inspected, and all
baggage among which may be found secreted
articles liable to duty upon which the duties
have not been paid, must be seized and re-
