that which was adopted by the French Govern- Kaifong, Br. 3, 1,200, E. Finlayson, Hera' les. Swed. 8.&. 1,160, Grundelinat, 20th / Downing, Mr. and Mrs. Suewin, E. A.

ment on the outbreak of war between Spain and the United States, and could not therefore have been designed to give Russia an undue advantage. In this proclamation it was declar- ed "that a man-of-war of either of the belligerent Powers shall be permitted to enter or remain with prise in the ports os road-steads of France, of her cotonics or protected countries, for more than twenty four hours, except in case of stress of weather or actual necessity" Evidently the proviso "with prizes" is vary great importance is determining whether France is acting up to the terms of the proclamation enjoining strict neutrality on all her citizens during the exist ence of hostilities between Russia and Japan. In the instructions, issued to French authorities at the same time as the proclamation, rales were laid down which may be regarded as con. stituting the traditions of the French Govern ment in the matter of belligerent ships entering French ports, Among the most important of these are the following:-

-In no case whatever is a belligerent ship allowed to make use of a French port, or the

port of a country under French protection, for purposes of war, or for procuring arms-ori munitions of war, or for executing under cover of effecting repairs any work that would tend to increase her fighting power.

2.The duration of the stay in French ports of belligerent ships unaccompanied by a prize or prizes is limited by no special regulation. However, to be authorized to remain in port, such vessels are bound to conform to the usual conditions of neutrality, which may be summed up as follows:-

+

(a.) Ships admitted to the benefit of asylum must preserve peaceful relations with every other vessel anchoring in the port, and partij cularly with the ships of the enemy.

(5.) The said ships must not, with the aid of resources procured from shore, increase their war material, reinforce their crews or enroll volunteers, even from among residents of their own nationality.

(r.) They must abstain from all inquiries re- garding the force, location, or resources of their enemy, from departing suddenly in order to pursue hostile vessels the approach of which may be signalled-in a word to refrain from using the port of asylum as a base for any operation whatever against the enemy and must use neither force nor ruse to recapture prizes taken by the enemy, or to deliver pri- zoners of their nationality.
