"Her Majesty, Queen Of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and ireland,
having been compelled to take arms in
support of an ally is desirous of render
my war as little onerous as p ssible to
the Powers with whom she remains at
peace. To preserve the commerce of
neutrals from all unnecessary obstruc-
tions, her majesty is willing for the
present to waive part of the belliger-
ent rights appertaining to her by the
law Of nations. 1t is impossible for
Her Majesty to forego the exercise of
her right of seiZing articles contraband
of war and of preventing Heutrals from
bearing the enemy's dispatches, and
she must maintain the right of a beliger-
ent TO prevent neutrals from breaking
any effective blockade which may be
with an adequate force
against the enemy's force in harbors or
coasts. But Her Majesty will waive the
right Of seizing the enemy's property
laden on board a neutral vessel, unless
it be contraband Of war. 1t is not Her
Majesty's intention to claim the con6sca-
ton of neutral property not being con-
traband of war found on board the
enemy's ships, and Her Majesty further
declares that being anxious to lessen as
much as possible the evils of war, and
10 restrict its operations to the regular
y organized forces of the country, it is
not her present intentions 10 issue letters
Of marque for the commissioning of
priVateers."
