eution of his Royal Highness's said orders i and also
finding, that the enemy has, through the medium of
inland-carriage, established a commercial intercourse
between the said blockaded- ports, and the rivers,
harbours, creeks, bay 4, and outlets contiguous thereto,
Whereby 'loofa effect pf the said blockade has been
to a certain degree prevented.
In order to put a stop to tht same, I do, by vir-

obedience to the orders T have received from the
Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, declare that not only the ports and har-
bours of the Chesapeake, Delaware, New ' York,
Charleston, Porc-Royal, Savannah, and the river
Mississippi, here% betore-mentioned, aft still conti-
I ,
nued in a state of strict and rigorous blockade s but

that I have also ordered all that part of Long Island
Sound, so called, being the sea coast lying within
Montuck Point, or the Eastern point of Long Island,
and the point of land opposite thereto, commonly
called Black Point, - situated on the coast of the
main land or continent, together with all the . ports,
harbours, creeks, and entrances of the East and North
'rivers of New York, as well as all .other the ports,
creeks, and bays along the sea coast of Long Island,
and the State of New York, and all the "ports, har-
bours, rivers and creeks, lying and being on the sea-

sylvania, the lower counties on the Delaware, Mary-
land, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
and, all the entrances from the sea, into the said river
of Mississippi, to be strictly and rigorously blookaded.
And I do therefore, by virtue of the power and au-
thority in me vested, declare the whole of the said
harbours, bays, rivers, creeks, and sea-coasts of the
said several State's-to be ip a state of strict and rigo-
rous blockade. , • -
66 And.l do further declare, that I have stationed
OA the sea coasts, bays, livers, and harbours of the
said several Soma, a-naval force, adequate and suf•
dent to enforce and maintain the blockade thereof,
in the most strict and rigorous manner.
66 And I do -hereby require the respective Flag
Officers, Captains, Commanders, and Commanding
Officers of his Majesty's ships and vessels, employed,
and to be employed, on the American ag4l West-
India station, and all others whom it may concern,
to pay the strictest regard and attention to the execu-.
tion of the said orders of his -Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, and also to the execution of this or-
der. And I do caution and-fin :rd. the ships or ves-
sels of all and evert nation in peace and amity with
the' Crown of •Great .Britain, from entering, or at-
tempting to enter, or from Coming out, or attempt-
ing to come out of any'of the ports, harbours, bays,
rivers, or creels before-mentioned, under any pretence
whatsoever; and that no person hereafter may plead
ignorance, of the measures which his Majesty has
been reluctantly compelled' to adopt, in order to en-
force his enemy to put an end to the war, on their
