RAW-SILK. 



(C.) of improving our raw-silk investment, we have 

 5e"crai° caused the instructions of our inteUigent Super- 

 pni 1808. intendant, Mr. Wiss, on this subject, to be printed, 

 copies of which useful work have been transmitted 

 you by the ship Hugh IngUs, in the course of this 

 year 1808. We direct our Board of Trade to 

 furnish the Residents at the several silk aurungs 

 with an adequate number of these papers, and to 

 require that they will give them the most precise 

 and unvarying attention. 



As, probably, with respect to the subordinate 

 filatures, the Residents themselves cannot at all 

 times exercise a personal superintendance, it may 

 be desirable that the instructions should be 

 translated into the Native languages, for the 

 information and direction of the Native ser- 

 vants who are entrusted with the care of the 

 minor establishments. At all events^ the latter 

 must be made acquainted with the substance of 

 these orders, and held responsible by their 

 superiors for the strict execution of them.
