SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication
in the colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of
Her Majesty in Council, extending the provisions of "The
Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," to the United States of
Mexico.
I have, &c.,

At the Court at Windsor, the twenty-eighth day of

Present:
THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
LORD PRESIDENT, EARL OF COVENTRY, LORD ASHBOURNE.

WHEREAS by "The Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," it is pro-
vided that, whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty
that due facilities are or will be given for recovering and
apprehending seamen who desert from British merchant-
ships in the territories of any foreign Power, Her Majesty
may, by Order in Council stating that such facilities are or
will be given, declare that seamen, not being slaves, who
desert from merchant-ships belonging to a subject of such
Power, when within Her Majesty's dominions, shall be liable
to be apprehended and carried on board their respective
ships; and may limit the operation of such order, and may
render the operation thereof, subject to such conditions and
qualifications, if any, as may be deemed expedient:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty
that due facilities will be given for recovering and apprehend-
ing seamen who desert from British merchant-ships in terri-
tories belonging to the United States of Mexico under a
treaty between the Governments of Great Britain and the
United States of Mexico, signed at the City of Mexico, on
the twenty-seventh day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-eight:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the power vested
in her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by
and with the advice of her Privy Council, is pleased to order
and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that, from
and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette, sea-
men, not being slaves, and not being British subjects, who,
within Her Majesty's dominions, desert from merchant-ships
belonging to citizens of the United States of Mexico, shall be
liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective
ships: Provided always that, if any such deserter has com-
mitted any crime in Her Majesty's dominions, he may be
detained until he has been tried by a competent Court, and
until his sentence, if any, has been fully carried into effect.

And the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the Secretary of
State for India in Council are to give the necessary directions
herein accordingly.
