Each Steamer must have her Number painted in Fish and Chinese Characters conspicuously, so that she may be known as soon as seen.
2d-On entering the Port, the Master of each Steamer will forthwith hand a correct Manifest of all Foreign Cargo to the Revenue cers, two of whom will be told off to each Steamer, which it will be their duty to go on board of, as soon as she arrives, and there remain petil the Vessel's Departure, to watch the discharging and taking in of Cargo.
3d-On the arrival of a Steamer, if there should be on board Goods belonging to any reputable Foreign Merchants having known ablishments at Canton, these will be permitted, at the discretion of the Hoppo, to disembark their Goods and place them in their Godowns soon as they shall cause a correct List or Manifest of the quality and quantity of such Goods, bearing their Signature, to be delivered to the Frehue Officers, who will thereupon make the necessary examination, and retain the Manifest as a Voucher for the Duties payable on demand. ould there be any other Cargo on board for which no separate Lists are presented bearing the Signature of a known and reputable Firm, tch Goods will not be permitted to go to Store-houses, or to be landed until they have been examined, and the Duties are paid.
4th, Merchants wishing to export Goods in these Steamers, ought in the first instance to report them for examination to the Customs, i-1 pay the Duties leviable thereon ; and, upon the Manifest of the same, request a Custom-house Permit for their Shipment, which Permit, with the Manifest, must be produced to the Revenue Officers on board, that they may satisfy themselves the Goods brought for shipment are eGoods which have been examined, and for the shipment of which the Permit has been granted. If any Goods are brought for shipment without a Permit, the Master of the Steamer, upon notice from the Custom-house Officer, will not allow such Goods to be placed on board 's Vessel; and any Captain or Master of a Steamer allowing shipments in opposition to the prohibitory notice, will be held responsible, and Le Goods may be seized and confiscated.

After receipt of which Certificate of Discharge, he cannot receive further Cargo.
6th-Any Steamers failing to comply with the Regulations, will not be allowed to leave the Port; and in the event of any Steamers parting forcibly, the Consul will be notified of the fact, that such proceedings may be taken as the Treaties provide for Vessels leaving without Port Clearance.
