Foreign Office. October 24 1884

I am directed by Earl Granville to transmit to you what we understand is still regarded in time of peace as the rule, namely, that the reception of refugees sailing from their colonies is accepted (accipitur) with certain limitations.

##

If the rights of refugees sailing from their colonies are considered, it is worth noting the definition of blockade: "Blockade is a limitation of the rights incident to the Neutral diving (i.e., diving or remaining) in peace, imposed upon him by the right of the Belligerent during war" (Phillimore, International Law, III, 473 - Ed. 1873). I would refer this to F.D.

I ask for information on the question regarding whether the G.O. has advised the doctor that this proclamation was issued in immediate response to the French declaration of belligerent rights. Surely before the French demand belligerent rights, they must admit themselves to be belligerents!
