armed ship of any of the Belligerent Powers,
or by any officers or persons in the service
of any of the said Powers, shall be permitted
to be brought into any of the ports, har-
bours, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her
Majesty, either in the United Kingdom or
elsewhere.

2. All ships of war of any of the said
   Belligerents are strictly prohibited from
   making use of any port or roadstead in the
   United Kingdom of Great Britain and
   Ireland, or in the Channel Islands, or in any
   of Her Majesty's Colonies or Possessions
   abroad, as a station or place of resort for
   any warlike purpose, or for any purpose of
   warlike equipment; and no ship of war of
   any of the said Belligerents shall hereafter
   be permitted to sail out of, or to leave any
   port, roadstead, or waters subject to British
   jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the
   Power or Powers with whom such Belligerent
   is at war (whether the same shall be a ship
   of war or a merchant ship) shall have pre-
   viously departed, until after the expiration
   of at least twenty-four hours from the depar-
   ture of such last mentioned vessel beyond
   the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty.

3. These orders are to be in force, and to
   be strictly observed in every case until Her
   Majesty shall be pleased to make any fur-
   ther or other order to the contrary.

4. The word "Privateer" is not used in
   these Instructions, because by the Declara-
   tion respecting Maritime Law, signed at
   Paris on the 16th April, 1856, Austria and
   Prussia agreed that "Privateering is and
   remains abolished," and Denmark adhered
   to the same Declaration, on the 25th of June,
