[211:  This grant of general reprisals, though apparently limited in its address, (as to action in the war) to Her Majesty’s fleets and ships, does not exclude non-commissioned captors from taking Russian ships, or goods when called upon by necessity to do so.  For example, any of our armed merchantmen, who in the present war will not be allowed letters of marque, would be quite justified when beating off the enemy, in also making a capture if possible, and although her prize would become a Droit of Admiralty, the captor would be entitled to apply to the court for some compensation.  The second part of this declaration is intended to proclaim the preliminary step to establishing the court of prize.  The declarations with respect to the embargo laid upon Russian goods and ships in our ports require no comment.]
