Aethe Court at the gEeen's Palace, the i Ith ot
November, 1807, prefe: t, the KING'S Mott Excellent
tlajefly in Council.
Whereas certain orders, eflablifhing an unprece•
dented fyftem of warfare againit this kingdom, and
aimed efpecially at the dellruClion of its commerce
and refources, were, fame time fince, ilfucd by the
Government of France, by which " The Britith
Elands were declared to he in a Hate of blockade,"
thereby lubjceing to capture and condemnation all
vac's, with their cargoes, which thould continue to
trade with his Majelly's dominions :
And whereas by the fame order, "all trading in
merchandize is prohibited, and every article
of merchaildize belonging to England, or coming
from her colonies, or of her manufaCture, is declared
lawful prize :"
And whereas the nations in alliance with France,
and under her controul, were required to give, and
have given, and do give, effea to fuel) orders :
And whereas his Majelly's Order of the 7th of
January lall has not anfwered the defired purpofe,
either of compelling the enemy to recall thole orders,
or of inducing Ileutral stations to interpofe, with el-
fat, to obtain their revocation, hut, oa the contrary,
the fame have been recently enforced wi:l: increafed
rigour,:

And whereas his Majefly, under there circumflan•
ces, finds himfelf compelled to take further meafth es
for afferting and vindicating his juil rights, and
for fupporting that mai nitre power which the exer
tions and valour cf his people have, under the b!ef-
ling of Providence, enabled him to eflabEt and
maintain—and the mair,tenatce ref which is nct more
effential to the fafety and profperity of Li, MajeQy's
dominions than it is to the rotation of fuch States
as flirt retain their independence, and to the general
intercourfe and haprirrefs of mankind.
His MajeQy is therefore chafed, by and with thc
advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby
ordered, that all the ports and phices of France and
her allies, or of any other country at war with his
Majefly, and all other ports or places in Europe,
from which, although not at war with his Majefly,
the Blitifh flag is Excluded, and all ports or places
in die Colonies, belonging to I.is Majefiy's enemies,
lhall, from henceforth, be fihjE ft to the fame re-
lit itlion, in pint of trade and navigation, with the
eseeptier, hereinafter mentioned, as if the fame were
aci bh.ckaded by his Majefl)'s Naval foices, iu
thc Emit grill and rigorous manner.
And it is hereby farther ordered and declared, that
all trade in articles which are of the produce or wants-
facture of the laid countries or colonies, fh.ll be
deemed and con fide' ed to be unlawful, and that eve y
vetfel trading from or to the Paid countries or colonies,
together with all goods or rnerchandize on board, and
all articles of the vrocluce or manufaCture of the laid
c unities nr colonies, than be captured, and con-
denme—d as price to thc captors

But although his Majeay would be fully jutlified
by the circumaances and confideratians above re•
citcd, in eaablithing fuch fyaem of rearitaions with
refptqt to all the countries and colonies of his enemies,
eithout exception or qualification ; yet his Majefly,
being nevertheleii defirous not to li.bjed neutrals to

any greater inconvenience than is abfolutely infepar-
able from the carrying into effect his Majelly's jnf
determination to counteract the defigns of his ene-
mies, and to retort upon his enemies themfelves the
confequences of their own violence and injunice; and
being yet willing to hope that it may be poffible,
continently with that object, (till to allow to neutrals
the opportunity of furnifhing themfelves with colo-
nial produce for their own c: nfumption and fupply;
and even td leave open, for the pretent, fuch trade
with his Majelly's enemies as (hall be carried on
direaly with the ports of his Majefly's dominions, or
of his allies, in the manner hereinafter mentioned :
His Majetly is therefore pleafed further to order,
and it is hereby ordered, That nothing herein con-
tained Mall extend to fubjea to capture or condemna-
riots any veffel, or the cargo of any veffel, belonging
to any country not declared by this order to be fob-
jetted to the reflrittions incident to a Rate of blockade,
which (hall have cleared out with fuels cargo Irons
Tome port or place of the country to which the be.

free port in his Majetly's' colonies, under circumßan-
ces in which loch trade from Inch free ports is per-
mitted, direa to fume port cr place in the colonies
of his Majeßy's enemies, or from thole colonies
dire& to the country to which filch vacl belongs, or
to lonic free port in his Majelly's colonies, in fuch
cafes, and with fuch articles, as it may he lawful to
import into Inch free port ;—nor to any veffel, or
the cargo of any veffel, belonging to any country
not at war with his %jetty, which (hall have cleared

port or place in Europe which is declared by this
Order to be fubjea to the reatiftions incident to a
(late of blockade, deftined to Come port or place in
Europe belonging to his Majetly, and which (hall be

are not to be underflood as exempting front capture
or confifeation any veffel or goods which (hall be
liable thereto in refpea of having entered nr departed

to difcontinue her voyage, and to proceed to fume

afforded for the arrival of information of this his Ma-
jelly's order at any port or place from which the

(ball be found in the profecution of any voyage con-
trary to the refit iftions contained in this order, (ball
he captured, and, together with her cargo, condem-
ned as lawful price to the captors.
And whereas counties, not engaged in the war,
have acquiefced in theft orders of France, prohibiting
all trade in any articles the produce or manufac-
ture of his Majetty's dominions ; and the merchants
of thole countries have given countenance and effect
to thole prohibition;, by accepting from perfons flyling
themfelves commercial agents of the enemy, refident
at neutral ports, certain documents, termed 's Certi-
ficates of Origin," beiog certificates obtained at the
ports rf thipment, declaring that the articles of the
cargo are not of the produce or manufacture of his
Majeity's dominions, or to that effea :
And whereas this expedient has been directed by
France, and fubniitted to by loch merchants, as part
of the new fyflem of warfare directed againa the
trade of this kingdom, and as the molt effectual in-
Itrument of accomplifhing the fame, and it is there-
tore effentially neceffary to refill it :
His Majelly is therefore pleafed, by and with the
advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is
hereby ordered, that if any veffel, after reafonable
time (hall have been afforded for receiving notice of
