belonging to either of the Belligerents which
shall anchor in any British Port shall be allowed
to quit her anchorage within Twenty-four
Hours after any vessel belonging to the adverse
Belligerent, whether armed or unarmed, shall
have left the same Port. In order to give effect
to Her Majesty's orders I am to desire that, on
the arrival of any such armed vessel in any
port or roadstead within your Government, you
will notify this rule to her Commander, and
will inform him that, in case he should infringe
it, his Government will be held responsible by
that of Great Britain for violating the Neutra-
lity of British Waters.

If any such Violation should take place, you
will not fail to report it at once to Her Majesty's
Government, and to the British Admiral on
the Station.

And if you have strong grounds for appre-
hending any such Violation, you will similarly
communicate with the British Admiral.

I have, &c.,
NEWCASTLE.
