resolution to expel, the vote stood l0l to IS.
The substitute being adopted, the next vote

whether it would not be in order to move that

which your Excelency did me the honor TO write 10
me yesterday, asking me- In the name OF your gov
eminent, II the decision just taken In favor OF the
enemy'5 ships bound for the ports of the empire,
freghted on French account before The declaration
or war; would be extended to such OF the said ships
as may before the 10Th OF this month have shipped
cargoes on neutral account for neutral ports In
adopting the arrangements referred TO In the note
inserted in the Journal ODciei OF the 2Oth the
EnfDerOr's government had no other intention than
to provide In the interest OF French commerce., for
u situation not included in the declaration OF the
Congress OF Paris OF the 10th OF April 1856 as TO
maritime war. In fact. without exceptional
measure, such as that which has been taken, the
SHIPS in question and their cargOes would have come
ternationa law, and would have become liable to
connscation IN case OF capture.
With regard to neutral cargoes shipped under
the enemy = nag, they are covered by the general
privilege sanctioned in their favor by the Declare
ton OF 1856, and his Majesty's Ambassador In
London has been instructed to make known to
the government Of the Queen, in a note OF which
your EXcellency VIII find copy herewith annexed,
that In OF the capture OF German ships neutral
cargoes which may be found on board them Will be
restored to the parties Interested proof OF their
nationality. To go further than this ana free
enemy's ships for the sole reason that they are
bound TO a neutral port, and have put to sea before

tual REIMBURSEMENT OF the rights Of war.

gestiOn OF England and In concert with her we
