several of them underwent, in our hands, considerable repairs. Of the three ships on the stocks, two have been taken to pieces, and the useful part of their timbers brought away; and the third, being in a considerable state of forwardness, was sawed in various parts, and suffered to fall over.

The flat boats drew up on the two sides of the praam, and the gun-boats, which also received troops, were placed beyond the floating battery, so that, as soon as the brigade of artillery was embarked, the troops marched to their boats, and the whole put off to their respective ships; after which the floating battery and praam were destroyed.

Admiral Gambier's letter in the same Gazette, repeats the circumstances attending the evacuation and embarkation, and gives the following recapitulation:

Another order of his Majesty in council follows, stating, that

The Gazette of the 11th, and the Supplement to that of the 14th, contain the new regulations of trade and commerce with neutrals. The The commanders of ships of war preamble to the latter runs as follows: and privateers are instructed to warn Whereas certain orders, establish- such vessels as have commenced their ing an unprecedented system of war- voyages prior to notice of this order, fare against this kingdom, and aimed to discontinue such of them as are especially at the destruction of its contrary to its provisions, and to procommerce and resources, were, some ceed to some of our ports.

The order then declares, that all the ports and places of countries at war with his Majesty, and of countries which, though not at war, have excluded the British flag-and all the ports and places in the colonies of enemies, are to be subjected to the same restrictions in trade and navigation, as if they were actually blockaded in the most rigorous manner and all trade in articles, the produce and manufacture of such countries and colonies, is to be deemed unlawful.

EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS.

1. Vessels and cargoes belonging to countries not restricted as above, may proceed from their own ports, either in Europe or America, to the enemy's colonies, or from those colonies to their own ports.

The order then recites, that French commercial agents, residing at nen tral ports, have been in the habit of giving certificates called "Certificates of Origin," declaring the cargoes not to be the produce or manufacture of Great Britain; and concludes by or daining, that all vessels with such documents, or any papers referring to them, shall be lawful prize.

In the second order it is declared:— 1. That any vessels belonging to countries at amity or in alliance with us, may import into this country from enemies' ports, such goods, wares, and merchandize, the produce and manu facture of countries at war with us, as are specified in the schedule of an Act of the 43d of his present Majesty, entitled "An Act to repeal the duties Customs," &c. &c. subject to the same regulations as have been in use with respect to such goods imported, according to the navigation laws when in force..

2. Vessels and cargoes of the above description, may also proceed from 2. Such of these goods, &c. &c. the free ports in our own colonies, as are authorized to be warehoused under the usual circumstances, direct under an Act of the 43d of the King to the colonies of enemies, and from and also all the articles that have such colonies to such free ports.

3. Vessels and cargoes belonging to countries not at war with us, and clearing out under regulations to be prescribed, may proceed from any port or place in this kingdom-or from Gibraltar and Malta or from any port belonging to our allies, to the place specified in their clearances.

4. Vessels and cargoes belonging to countries not at war with us may come from the ports restricted, as in the general order, direct to any of our European ports.

The following was published as an explanation of the above regulations:
