in the Goajlra peninsula.
Art. 2. The ports and coasts referred to in the preceding
Article are also declared in a state of blockade.

date with regard to vessels arriving from Europe; thirty
days for those despatched from Demerara and the other
West India Islands, excepting the vessels coming from St.
Thomas, St Croix, Curator and its independencies, for
which the time will be eight days.
Art. 4. If before the expiration of such terms a vessel
shall arrive; whatever be its nationality, to the ports and
places blackaded, the blockading forces will notify the
existence of the blockade, noting in its log-book the day
and place, or the latitude in which such vessel was met,

insist in the pretension to enter, notwithstanding the noti-
fication, it will be subject to detention and confiscation.
