The President satisfied that Oldenburg has abolished discriminated duties.And whereas satisfactory proof has been received by me, under date of the eleventh of May last, that thenceforward all discriminating or countervailing duties of the Dukedom of Oldenburg, so far as they might operate to the disadvantage of the United States, should be, and were, abolished, upon his Highness the Duke of Oldenburg’s being duly certified of a reciprocal act on the part of the United States:
Declares the discriminating duty, with respect to Oldenburg, repealed.Now, therefore, I, James Monroe, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and proclaim, that so much of the several acts imposing duties on the tonnage of ships and vessels, and on goods, wares, and merchandise, imported into the United States, as imposed a discriminating duty of tonnage between vessels of the Dukedom of Oldenburg and vessels of the United States, and between goods imported into the United States in vessels of the said Dukedom of Oldenburg and vessels of the United States, are repealed, so far as the same respect the produce or manufacture of the said Dukedom of Oldenburg.
