elle entry of foreign privateers into Austrian ports iS
interdicted. Vessels under the Austrian flag are not to
transport troops belonging to the belligerent Powers,

punishment. Vessels under the Austrian flag are not to
enter any ports besieged by the Powers at war. An ex.
ception, however, is made to the effect that, in spite of the
present war, there is to be no interruption in the coin-
inerce and navigation of Austrian vessels with the poets
of the belligerent Powers, and the merch int vessels or
these Powers are to be allowed full liberty to enter Aus-
trian ports. The decree proceeds to state that, in the
full confidence that the Austrian neutral commerce will

tains are not to oppose themselves to any search made in
400 d faith by the former, but are to produce, without re-
sista,ree, any papers or documents that may be required.
Phe belligerent Powers, adds the decree, have off'
cially given satisfactory assurances, that property'
under a neutral flag will be respected, with the exception
of articles contraband of war. Prizes made by belligerent
Powers will not be admitted into any Austrian ports,
with the exception of Trieste, where their contents may
be sold, after a legal condemnation. The decree is to
have immediate effect. and it provides, in conclusion,
that if any Austrian vessel should be subjected to ins-
proper treatment, information is to be immediately given
to the nearest Austrian Consul, in order that the Go-
vernment of Imperial Majesty may demand repara-
tion and satisfaction. _
