MISCELLANEOUS. 



1077 



It is hereby notified, that It Is the earnest desire of rear admiral Sir David Milne, com- 

 mander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels in North America, and in the lakes of 

 Canada, in endeavouring to preserve the maritime rights of his majesty from infringe- 

 ment, to avoid, as much as possible, subjecting the vessels and people of the United States 

 of America engaged in the fisheries to any loss or interruption which they have made 

 themselves liable as to the just rights which belong to the maritime dominions of his 

 majesty in North America. You are therefore allowed to pursue your voyage without 

 further detention, taking notice, however, that if you are again found trespassing on his 

 majesty's rights you cannot expect to receive further indulgences ; and you are requested 

 to notify to the vessels of your nation, as far as in your power, to avoid interfering with 

 these fisheries which exclusively appertain to his majesty's subjects, as they will be here- 

 after proceeded against as the law directs. Given under my hand at Halifax, 58 year of 

 H. M. reign, 1818. 



(Signed) DAVID MILNE, 



Commander in chief.
