by and with the advice of his Privy Council, by
any Order or Orders in Council, to be issued from
time to time, to give such directions, and make
such regulations touching the Trade and Com-
merce of, to, or from any British possession on or
near the continent of Europe, or within the Medi-
teranean Sea, or in Africa, or within the limits of
the East India Company's Charter, except the pos-
sessions of the said Company as to His Majesty in
Council, should appear most expedient and
salutary.
Now therefore, Her Majesty by and with the

imposed upon similar articles, the produce or
manufacture of the United Kingdom, or of other

And the Right Honorable the Lords Commis-
sioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, and the Right
Honorable Lord John Russell, one of Her
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, are to

may respectively appertain.

claim and Declare the said order in Council, and
give notice that from and after the date hereof
