Whereas there is reason to believe that the Asiatic Cholera or some 

 other malignant disease does at present prevail at Quebec and other 

 ports of Lower Canada, at Halifax in the Province of Nova Scotia, 

 and at New York in the United States of America, I the Governor

 aforesaid, shall be deemed to be infected, and that all Ships and 

 Vessels arriving from any of the said ports at any port or place in

 Thirty days in her passage from such infected port may, if otherwise 

 free from suspicion, be permitted to perform a Quarantine of obser- 

 vation for the period of Forty-eight hours or more at the port or place
