The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy-

respecting the navigation of the Danube by vessels of
neutral powers, a translation of which is hereto subjoined.

(Translation.)
DECLARATION.

In virtue of V. e orders of his Majesty, the Emperor, the
Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial troops appoints the
ports of Braila and Galatz for the commerce of neutral
powers, both as regards exportation and importation. The
vessels of such Powers coming from the Black Sea can
return freely into that sea after having received cargoes in
the ports above mentioned, on condition always that they
abstain, before entering the Black Sea, from touching at
any port of the Danube. Consaquently these vessels be-
fore quitting the ports of Braila and Galata must present
their documents to the Russian Consular Agents, who
will furnish them, gratis, with a certificate showing the
destination of the ship, and bearinr, the formal declaration
that if before entering the sea they should disembark corn or
provisions upon any point of the right bank o t the Danube
they will by this contravention incur sequestration. Neutral
vessels whi ;I wish to ascend the Danube, in order to proceed
at once into the Austrian States, and which carrydown car-
goes destined either for Braila or for Galatz, or for expor-
tation by the Black Sea, will be liable to the same forma-
lity of a Russian certificate indicating their destination and
prohibiting them, under pain of sequestration, from enter-
ing into any traffic on the right bank of the Danube.
Neutral vessels wishing to descend the Danube will not
meet with any hindrance, provided that on their passage
by Orsova they furnish themselves at the Russian Consu-
late with a certificate stating that they belong bona fide to
a neutral power, and that, their cargo is not destined for
one of the Turkish ports of the Danube,
