THE following Circular from the Board of Trade is

WILLIAM H. REYNOLDS.

NOTICE TO SHIPMASTERS.

Ships entering Spanish Ports in Distress.

It has come to the knowledge of Her Majesty's
Government that cases have occurred where British
vessels, having been compelled through accident or
stress of weather to put into Spanish Ports, have,
although not trading with any of those ports, been
subjected to heavy fines and confiscation of cargo
on the part of the Spanish Customs Authorities, on
account of inaccuracies, however trifling or accidental,
in the ship's manifest, the production of which has
been demanded by the Customs House officers im-
mediately upon the vessel's reaching port.

As it appears that proceedings of this nature are
sanctioned by the letter of the Spanish Law, ship-
masters are hereby warned of the difficulties to which
they may be exposed when putting into Spanish Ports
under circumstances of the nature above mentioned,
should any inaccuracy whatever be discovered in con-
nexion with the ship's cargo or papers contrary to
the laws of Spain.
