It is thus dm it was guilty of .an egregious, folly in blockading the Elbe and the Weser, by which it has sustained more injury than we could have 'done to it. th e system of 'blockading, however, ertikly. on one side, amounts to this : :Become j . ain iq-War with France, •I will hipve na Poriiiti7 at sea.

The right of blockatte' can never be ex tended but .to Fortre s s es . If you should ta k e al l the places which you put into a state of blockade, you might take advantage of the Right of Nations to prevent Vessels from entering them : we, how ever, hope that the.
