Now, therefore, I, John Quincy Adams, President of the United States,
conformably to the fourth section of the act of Congress aforesaid, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the foreign discriminating duties of
tonnage and impost within the United States are and shall be suspended
and discontinued so far as respects the vessels of the subjects of His
Holiness the Pope and the merchandise of the produce or manufacture of
his dominions imported into the United States' in the same, the said
suspension to take effect from the 30th of May aforesaid and to continue
so long as the reciprocal exemption of vessels belonging to citizens of
the United States and merchandise as aforesaid therein laden shall be
continued, and no longer.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas Willis Anderson, of the County of Alexandria, in the district of
Columbia, is charged with having recently murdered Gerrard Arnold, late
of the said county; and
Whereas it is represented to me that the said Willis Anderson has
absconded and secretes himself, so that he can not be apprehended and
brought to justice for the offense of which he is so charged; and
Whereas the apprehension and trial of the said Willis Anderson is an
example due to justice and humanity, and would be every way salutary in
its influence:
Now, therefore, I have thought fit to issue this my proclamation, hereby
exhorting the citizens of the United States, and particularly those of
this district, and requiring all officers, according to their respective
stations, to use their utmost endeavors to apprehend and bring the said
Willis Anderson to justice for the atrocious crime with which he stands
charged as aforesaid; and I do moreover offer a reward of $250 for the
apprehension of the said Willis Anderson and his delivery to an officer
or officers of justice in the county aforesaid, so that he may be
brought to trial for the murder aforesaid and be otherwise dealt with
according to law.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed to these presents.
(SEAL.)
Done at Washington, this 10th day of September, A. D. 1827, and of the
Independence of the United States the fifty-second.
J. Q. Adams.
By the President:
H. Clay,
_Secretary of State_.
