falr. On their return to our ports, they muft import no defcription whatever of colonial pro- 
duce, or merchandize, except as above fpecified; for, fhould the articles even be of a 
defcription admiffible under ordinary circumitances, they will at prefent be totally prohibited. 
Thefe licenfes will have the effect of exempting the vefiels therewith provided, from the 
extraordinary regulations of the cuftoms, -and of confining the examinations, to be made om 
their return, fo the aicertainment of the defcription of the commedities, which are above 
fpecified, and whereof the importation is permitted, and this without rendering the captains 
refponfible in any other refpect whatfoever. The punifhment for a violz:ion of this condition 
of the licenfe, will.be a confifcation of the property, a fine upon the owner for violating his 
Majefty’s orders, and the revocation of the licenfe as being hull and void.” : 
We think the DireGtors of the Cufloms might have fpared themfelves the trouble of 
circulating this letter, for we fincerely believe ‘that few. or any ef the French traders will 
take advantages of the ofters which it holds forth; in fhort, France is commercially defungt; 
the chief trading towns and cities of the empire, (Bourdeaux, for instance, } are abandoned 
and the {mall number of merchants {till remaining, are fo disheartened by the recoileftion at 
laft misfortunes, and fo bewildered as to the means of procuring the edmiffible commodities, 
that the pitiful circular of the Diretors willtend to nothing more than to produce on 
paper_a thow of bufinefs, which in effect cannot be realized this fide of an abfolute and perma- 
nent peace with the first commercial nation on the face of the globe.
