TRANSLATION.
An order has been directed to the Superior Civil Governors of Cuba, Puerto-Rico, and the Philippines by the Minister of the Colonies, ordaining that the reciprocity conceded in Orders lately published, to Swedish, Norwegian, and Dutch ships from Colonies and possessions situated out of Europe, and to those of various English Colonies, in the payment of Port and Navigation Dues, is understood to be granted to the Flag, not taking into account in any way the port of departure of the said ships; and that consequently, on the arrival at the Spanish Colonial provinces of a vessel belonging to any Nation or Colony with which equality of treatment in the payment of the said Dues shall have been established, it shall be considered as Spanish vessels are, be the port of its departure what it may.
