RUSSIAN • : 't" '-
It is known to tite*Whote whilst wit/it-whit denniestllte Wide
of neutrals has been protected by iiikic eche* the PAwer of
Europe were at war; it, is known with what konsrancy she has
guarded the interests of nations in thneef pease igainst theitiveits
of war. Following up this 'invariable priociple also during sae
present rupture with Britain, we entertained the fullest hofes that
the trade with friendly Powers would hot be carried on by ter-
bidden means ; but as experience during the last season proved to tn.
that the enemy has fouud it practicable, by means of neutral ves-
sels, to supply himself with such produce as he stood in need' of,
and tees-sin strength by exchanging his own produce, we have at
present been compelled to order two vessels to be seized.
For these reasons, and to prevent various subterfugesand arti-
fices, we have deoined it necessary to establish some rules, and
hereby order—
I. That all masters of neutral vetsels arriving at our ports are
to prove the property being neutral, by the following documents
of the ship, viz. a pass, ship's register, muster-roll, log-book, ma-
nifest of the cargo, the charter-party, bills of lading, certtficates
of origin whether the cargo or part of the same belongs to the (ap-
tain, and by the invoices of such vessels as come front Attwesca
or the Indies, or are !sound there. In case, howteer, the' mister
is not provided with any one of these documents, the shipit,,tse
be sent out of our ports, and not to be permitted to discharge:
2. In case of neutral ships being partly loaded with merchan-
dise which can be'proVed to be of the maoufacture or produce of
the enemy, the same to be stopped, the mobds to be seized, and,
sold by public auction', lot the benefit. o*f Government ;.but if.
more than half of the:cargo consists of such Seeds, then not only
the cargo, bite also the,ship is to be stitsdi""
' 3. A paw- graittedrtke ship, by alneetelis of sPPea
Power, is not to be onsidered let* as 'potties it appears that.
the Master has acted contrary to the *ante *iv* is
named in the pass differently to what site is in ...rl-1

tested by leg?l,authority, tat the pliceiretittellich-tbe‘erieel`de-

this instance the Master is not,to, •coseidered
4. A pass is not to be consia•tedStalfd;lf
the vessel to which it is gmnttitrivaa:ntatialt 4rl vf4fritAlle it is

en.
v. If the Supercargo or Master, or more thafitnitetlil the
crew, of' a neutral vessel, should he silt:ticks of Plisresesse'vrar
with us; or if such a vessel is not provided with a inuster=riiil of
the crew, duly attested by the Magistracy of such neuerdlOorts
from which the same departed, then bath ship atad tug° are to h •
seized, but the crew to be set at liberty.
6.1 f it should appear that the pass produced by the'Maitet has
been counterfeited or altered, ship and cargo errata\ *kit:oo fur
the benefit of Government, and the Mester. to bkbrOu to trial,
and to be dealt with as is prescribed by the titles toe did* who

be seized for thebenefit of Government: In case tbe.i/AstierWrishcs
to justify himself, by having lost his documents, and cannot pro-
duce any proofs, his vessel td be' detathed;" grinthi lies fitide for
procuring the same proportionate to the distance, if be wishes it;
else, if the Master cannot wait so long, ship and tArWtitre irnme;
diately to be sent off; but if, at the expiradollclf thR frifilcut
the Master does not produce the needful proolsp-sla ail cargo
are to be seized for the benefit of Government': ,"'v•
a. No ship built by the eneniy is to be considered Neutral,
unless amongst other documents, a duly attested :dotionstnt is
founit, proving the sale or transfer to have taken, place, begr the
declaration of the war ; else ship and cargo to •he ?r the
• •
benefit of Government.
9. If the Owner and Commander of a neutral vessel happen to
be a native of a nation at war with us, and are provided with
passes of a Amaral Power, in such a case the pass is not to serve
ei i clearance, as long as they cannot prove having become sv'-
jects and residents of such a power previoui to the declarition
war ; else they are to be sent off, with their eshiPs
them to take in return cargoes.
