FOREIGN-OFFICE, May 19, 1859.
4,•Sir--I am directed by the Earl of Malmesbury
state to you that her Majesty's Government have
tteilleteeteived the answer of the French Government to
e Inquiries which, as you were informed in my
her mot' the 10th inst., lad been put to them by
ajesty's Abassador at Paris respecting the
ut to which Austrian vessels are liable to
capture by French and Sardinian cruisers.
The first inquiry which Earl Cowley was in-
structed to make was whether Austrian vessels
arriving at ports of call would be allowed to leave
Such ports for their destination without being liable
to capture ; the second whether Austrian vessels
which have sailed for Austrian or for neutral ports
prior to the declaration of war will be liable to
capture.
The French Government have stated in reply that as far as France is concerned it cannot be doubted that Austrian vessels would
eonin the cases
de
specified be subject to capture andcondemnation in
virtue of the general principle of the law of
nations,
acted upon in England as well as in France, aeceneord
ing to which every ship belonging to an
met with at sea after the declaration of
war insiya
good prize.
It is assumed that the question relates to neutral
ports called at for orders, since if an Austrian
vessel, in ignorance of war having broken out,
should enter a French port, she would be protected
by the special decision of the Emperor, dated May
3, which grants safe conduct not only to the vessels
of the enemy actually in French ports, but to
those also which shall enter such ports in igno-
rance of the state of war.—l am, Sir, your most
Obedient humble servant, E. HAMMOND.
Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's.
