To consider only whether the Assembly should not resolve that one or two cargoes be sent alternately by the respective Chambers, in the manner as used heretofore to be done. Leaving the third point untouched, as it stands, we should only enlarge it with this addition: That all the goods sent to iVew Netheriand, or parts thereabout, must first and foremost come to Fort New Amsterdam, before being exported elsewhere, for the purpose of having their permits exhibited there, to be entered and that the ships may be visited, in order to see that they have no prohibited or unentered goods on board. In like manner, the return cargoes shall have to be entered at the same place ; and it must be declared for what ports in this country they are destined, with the restriction, that the duties and other imposts shall have to be paid into the Chamber from which they obtained the permit, and they shall be cleared thence for Fort New Amsterdam further, they shall be bound to return direct to Fatherland, without being at :

liberty to touch at any trading places, on pain of forfeiture of ship and goods, should they act otherwise. Finally, leaving the remaining points as they are, also the instruction to be amplified by new additions of what this Assembly may determine further to resolve on the suggestion of Director Stuyvesant.
