" As she considers places in a state of blockade
which in reality are not so, as well as places of ccm-
merce, not fortified, bays and mouths of rivers ;
" As she declares places in a state of blockade,
which in point of raft are not so, or which in their
very nature cannot be so placed ;
" France is reduced to the necessity of applying
the same principles which England adopts in her
maritime code to the British islands, to British sub-
jefts, to their property of every kind, to be found in
the territories, states, and ports, occupied or to be
occupied by the French arms, to the ships coming
from the British islands or colonies arriving in such
ports, as well as those which shall go from such
ports to those belonging to Great Britain.
" That while His Majestrthe Emperor and King
declares the British Islands in a state of blockade,
and with respeel to English subjeds, their property,
and the ships which 'come from the British Islands
or possessions, or which are bound for the same, in
doing which His Majesty is justified by the laws of
self-defence ;

doing so has been prompted not merely by the in-

as his duty to proteft the Continent from the misery

exercised by England are visibly intended to inter-

carries on commerce in English commodities, sup •
ports the views of England, and must be considered
as her accomplice ;

the city of llamburgh are in this situation, and are
notoriously engaged in the affairs of England, His
Majesty the Emperor and King feels himself re.
Intlantly compelled to take possession of that city.
