My Lord.
I have the honour to inclose herewith printed
copies and a translation of a Royal Decree dated the
19th instant (published on 29th) fixing the value of
the Spanish Pataca or Duro at Macao at 610 reis in-
stead of 850, and in Timor that of the Dutch Florin
at 360 reis, both enactments being provisional.
In virtue of the same Decree, monopolies are
established at Macao with respect to Petroleum and to
Gunpowder, Saltpetre and Sulphur.
I have &c.
(sd.) H.G.MACDOUALL.
