My Lord—l have the honour to enclose herewith copy of
a note which I have received from M, Quaade, enclosing
the notification by the Minister of Marine that after tho
25th of this mouth a blockade of the east coast of the
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is to be established with
the exception of certain places therein specially named.
M. Quaade also states that any neutral ship then lying in
a blockaded harbour will be allowed till April 1 to leave it,
either in ballast or with cargo ; and if in any special case it
should happen that this delay is not sufficient for the clear-
ing out of the neutral ships, the officer in command of the
blockading force is authorised to grant, on demand of the
consular agent, a further delay for their free departure.
I have sent copies of this note and its enclosures to Mr.
Consul Taylor, and hava instructed him to inform the
Vice-Consuls in his district of the intentions of the Danish

Government.—l have, &c„
The Earl Russell, &c.

(Translation.)

Copenhagen, Feb. 20.

Sir—l have the honour to inform you that from the 25th
of this month all the ports and inlets of the east coast of
the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein will be in a state of
blockade, with the exception of Neustadt, the lelands of
Ala and Aeroe, and other places actually under the autho-
rity of the King.
While transmitting to you herewith some copies of the
public ition in which the Minister of Marine notifies the
blockade, I venture to have recourse to your kind interven-
tion to request you to be good enough to give notice to the
consular agents of your Government resident at the block-
aded places, notifying to them at the same time that all
neutral ships which at the commencement of the blockade
are in a blockaded port will, up to the Ist of April, have the
right of leaving either with cargo or in ballast.
If, from special circumstances, the delay fixed for free
exit is not found sufficient in any particular case, the officer
charged with the blockade is authorised to arrange for a
longer term with the Consular agent, on receiving an appli-
cation from him to that effect.

Receive, &c.,

U. QUAADE,
