British North American Provinces adjoining the United States," passed 3d
March, 1845, in the manner prescribed by the proviso contained in said

Whereas the Secretary of the Treasury has duly recommended to me the
extension of the privileges of the law aforesaid to the port of
Whitehall, in the collection district of Champlain, in the State of New
York:
Now, therefore, I, James K.
