the
pressure upon the more substantial Chinese brokers
of
engagements which they must

beings recklessly into unseaworthy beuils must be extrandinarily
great..

that this subject

Message from the Queen to both Houses of Parliament, March 27, 1854.
VICTORIA REGINA,
Commonk
HER Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House of Lord that the negotiations in which Her Majesty, in concert with her allies, has for some time past been engaged, with His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, have terminated, and that Her Majesty feels bound to afford active assistance to her ally the Sultan against unprovoked aggression.
Her Majesty has given directions for laying before the House of Lomona copies of such papers, in addition to those already communicated to Parliament, as will afford the fullest information with regard to the subject of these negotiations. It is a consolation to Her Majesty to reflect that no endeavours have been wanting on her part to preserve to her subjects the blessings of peace.
Her faithful Common
Her Majesty's just expectations have been disappointed, and Her Majesty relies with confidence. on the zeal and devotion of the House of Lorda and on the exertions of her brave and loyal subjects, to support her in her determination to employ the power and resources of the nation for protecting the dominions of the Sultan against the encroachments of Russia.
TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1854.
DECLARATION.
V. R.
It is with deep regret that Her Majesty announces the failure of Her anxious and protracted en- deavours to preserve for Her People and for Europe the blessings of peace.
The unprovoked aggression of the Emperor of Russia against the Sublime Porte has been per- sisted in with such disregard of consequences, that after the rejection by the Emperor of Russia of terms which the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, and the King of Prussia, as well as Her Majesty, considered just and equitable, Her Majesty is compelled by a sense of what is due to the honour of Her Crown, to the interests of Her People, and to the independence of the States of Europe, to come forward in defence of an Ally whose territory is invaded, and whose dignity and independence are assailed.
Her Majesty, in justification of the course she is about to pursue, refers to the transactions in which Her Majesty has been engaged.
The Emperor of Russia had some cause of complaint against the Sultan with reference to the set- tlement, which His Highness had sanctioned, of the conflicting claims of the Greek and Latin Churches to a portion of the Holy Places of Jerusalemn and its neighbourhood. To the complaint of the Emperor of Russia on this head, justice was done; and Her Majesty's Ambassador at Constan- tinople had the satisfaction of promoting an arrangement to which no exception was taken by the Russian Government.
But while the Russian Government repeatedly assured the Government of Her Majesty that the Mission of Prince Menchikoff to Constantinople was exclusively directed to the settlement of the question of the Holy Places at Jerusalem, Prince Menchikoff himself pressed upon the Porte other demands of a far more serious and important character, the nature of which he in the first instance endeavoured, as far as possible, to conceal from Her Majesty's Ambassador. And these demands, thus studiously concealed, affected not the privileges of the Greek Church at Jerusalem, but the position of many millions of Turkish subjects in their relations to their Sovereign the Sultan.
These demands were rejected by the spontaneous decision of the Sublime Porte. Two assurances had been given to Her Majesty; one, that the Mission of Prince Menchikoff only regarded the Holy Places; the other, that his Mission would be of a conciliatory character.
In both respects Her Majesty's just expectations were disappointed.
136
Demands were made which, in the opinion of the Sultan, extended to the substitution of the Ein- peror of Russia's authority for his own, over a large portion of his subjects; and those demands were enforced by a threat: and when Her Majesty learnt that, on announcing the termination of his Mis- sion, Prince Menchikoff declared that the refusal of his demands would impose upon the Imperial Government the necessity of seeking a guarantee by its own power, Her Majesty thought proper that Her Fleet should leave Malta, and, in co-operation with that of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, take up its station in the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles.
So long as the negotiation bore an amicable character Her Majesty refrained from any demonstra- tion of force. But when, in addition to the assemblage of large military forces on the frontier of Turkey, the Ambassador of Russia intimated that serious consequences would ensue from the refusal of the Sultan to comply with unwarrantable demands, Her Majesty deemed it right, in conjunction with the Emperor of the French, to give an unquestionable proof of Her determination to support the Sovereign rights of the Sultan.
The Russian Goverment has maintained that the determination of the Emperor to occupy the Principalities was taken in consequence of the advance of the Fleets of England and France. But the menace of invasion of the Turkish territory was conveyed in Count Nesselrode's Note to Rechid Pacha, of the May, and re-stated in his Despatch to Baron Brunnow, of the Max which an. nounced the determination of the Emperor of Russia to order his troops to occupy the Principalities, if the Porte did not within a week comply with the demands of Russia.
19 31
1 June
The Despatch to Her Majesty's Ambassador, at Constantinople, authorizing him in certain spe- cified contingencies to send for the British Fleet, was dated the 31st May, and the order sent direct from England to Her Majesty's Admiral to proceed to the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles, was dated the 2nd of June.
The determination to occupy the Principalities was therefore taken before the orders for the advance of the combined squadrons were given.
The Sultan's Minister was informed that unless he signed within a week, and without the change of a word, the Note proposed to the Porte by Prince Menchikoff on the eve of his departure from Constantinople, the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia would be occupied by Russian Troops. The Sultan could not accede to so insulting a demand; but when the actual occupation of the Prin- cipalities took place, the Sultan did not, as he might have done in the exercise of his undoubted right, declare war, but addressed a Protest to his Allies.
Her Majesty, in conjunction with the Sovereigns of Austria, France, and Prussia, has made various attempts to meet any just demands of the Emperor of Russia without affecting the dignity and inde. pendence of the Sultan; and had it been the sole object of Russia to obtain security for the enjoy- ment by the Christian subjects of the Porte of their privileges and immunities, she would have found it in the offers that have been made by the Sultan. But as that security was not offered in the shape of a special and separate stipulation with Russia, it was rejected. Twice has this offer been made by the Sultan, and recommended by the Four Powers, once by a note originally prepared at Vienna, and subsequently modified by the Porte, once by the proposal of bases of negotiation agreed upon at Constantinople on the 31st of December, and approved at Vienna on the 13th of January, as offering to the two parties the means of arriving at an understanding in a becoming and honour- able manner.
It is thus manifest that a right for Russia to interfere in the ordinary relations of Turkish subjects to their Sovereign, and not the happiness of Christian communities in Turkey, was the object sought for by the Russian Government; to such a demand the Sultan would not subunit, and His Highness, in self-defence, declared war upon Russia, but Her Majesty nevertheless, in conjunction with Her Allies, has not ceased her endeavours to restore peace between the contending parties.
The time has however now arrived when the advice and remonstrances of the Four Powers having proved wholly ineffectual, and the military preparations of Russia becoming daily more extended, it is but too obvious that the Emperor of Russia has entered upon a course of policy which, if uncheck- ed, must lead to the destruction of the Ottoman Empire.
In this conjuncture, Her Majesty feels called upon by regard for an Ally, the integrity and inde- pendence of whose empire have been recognized as essential to the peace of Europe, by the sym- pathies of Her people with right against wrong, by a desire to avert from Her dominions most injurious consequences, and to save Europe from the preponderance of a Power which has violated the faith of Treaties, and defies the opinion of the civilized world, to take up arms in conjunction with the Emperor of the French for the defence of the Sultan.
Her Majesty is persuaded that in so acting she will have the cordial support of Her people; and that the pretext of zeal for the Christian religion will be used in vain to cover an aggression under- taken in disregard of its holy precepts, and of its pure and beneficent spirit.
Her Majesty humbly trusts that Her efforts may be successful, and that, by the blessing of Pro- vidence, peace may be re-established on safe and solid foundations.
Westminster, March 28, 1854.
DECLARATION.
HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, having been com- peiled to take up arms in support of an Ally, is desirous of rendering the war as little onerous as possible to the Powers with whom she remains at peace.
To preserve the commerce of neutrals from all unnecessary obstruction, Her Majesty is willing, for the present, to waive a part of the belligerent rights appertaining to Her by the law of nations.
It is impossible for Her Majesty to forego the exercise of her right of seizing articles contraband of war, and of preventing neutrals from bearing the enemy's despatches, and she must maintain the
89
I
T
137
right of a belligerent to prevent neutrals from breaking any effective blockade which may be established with an adequate force against the enemy's forts, barbours, or coasts.
But Her Majesty will waive the right of seizing enemy's property laden on board a neutral vessel, unless it be contraband of war.
It is not Her Majesty's intention to claim the confiscation of neutral property, not being contra- band of war, found on board enemy's ships, and Her Majesty further declares, that being anxious to lessen as much as possible the evils of war, and to restrict its operations to the regularly organized forces of the country, it is not her present intention to issue letters of marque for the commissioning of privateers.

Whenever any prize shall be taken by any of Our fleets, squadrons, ships, or vessels of war, whilst acting in conjunction with any fleet, squadron, ships, or vessels of war belonging to any other Power or Powers in alliance with Us, Our High Court of Admiralty, or the Vice-Admiralty Court within Our dominions adjudicating thereon, shall apportion to such Ally or Allies a share or shares of the preceeds of such prize or prizes, proportionate to the number of officers and men, &c., present and employed on the part of such Ally or Allies, as compared with the number of officers and men, &c., present and employed on Our behalf in such capture or captures, without reference to their respective ranks; and the share or shares so set apart for such Ally or Allies shall be transmitted to such persons as may be duly authorized on behalf of such Ally or Allies to receive the same.
Ships or vessels being in sight of the prize, as also of the captor, under circumstances to cause intimidation to the enemy and encouragement to the captor, shall be alone entitled to share as joint captors.
After having deducted the portion set apart as aforesaid for Our Allies, a distribution, so far as regards Her Majesty's Forces, shall be as follows:
The flag officer or officers shall have one-twentieth part of the whole net proceeds arising from prizes captured from the enemy, by any of the ships or vessels under his or their command, and of the rewards conferred for the same, according to the following conditions and modifications, save and except as hereinafter provided and directed, that is to say:
When there is but one flag officer he shall have the entire one-twentieth part; when two flag offi- cers shall be sharing together, the chief shall have two-thirds, and the other flag officer shall have the remaining one-third of the one-twentieth part; and when there shall be more than two flag officers, the chief shall have one half of the said one-twentieth part and the remaining half shall be

equally divided among the junior flag officers; commodores of the first class and captains of the fleet to share as flag officers: provided always that no flag officer, unless actually on board any of Our ships or vessels of war, and at the actual taking, sinking, burning or otherwise destroying any ship or ships of war, privateer or privateers, belonging to the enemy, shall share in the distribution of any head money or bounty money granted as a reward for taking, sinking, burning, or otherwise destroy- ing any such ship or vessel of the enemy.
That no flag officer commanding in any port in the United Kingdom shall share in the proceeds of any prize captured from the enemy, by any ship or vessel which shall sail from or leave such port by order of the Lord High Admiral, or of our Commissioners for executing the Office of Lord High Admiral.
That when ships or vessels under the command of several flag officers belonging to separate stations shall be joint captors, each flag officer shall receive a proportion of one-twentieth part, according to the number of officers and men present under the command of each such flag officer; and when any ship or vessel under orders from the Lord High Admiral, or from Our Commissioners for executing the Office of Lord High Admiral, are joint captors with other ships, or vessels under a flag or flags, the like regulations as to the apportionment of the flag share to the flag officer or officers is to be observed. With reference to flag officers, it is to be noted that when an inferior flag officer is sent to rein- force a superior officer on any station, the superior flag officer shall not share in any prize taken by the inferior flag officer before he has arrived within the limits of that station, unless the inferior officer shall have received some order directly from, and shall be acting in execution of some order issued by, such superior flag officer.
:
No chief flag officer quitting any station, except upon some definite urgent service, and with the intention of returning to the station as soon as such service is performed, shall share in any prize taken by Our ships or vessels left behind, after he has passed the limits of the station, or after he has surrendered the command to another flag officer appointed by the Admiralty to command in chief upon
such station.
An inferior flag officer quitting any station (except when detached by orders from his commander- in-chief upon a special service, accompanied with orders to return to such station as soon as the ser- vice has been performed,) shall have no share in prizes taken by the ships and vessels remaining on the station, after he has passed the limits thereof. In like manner, flag officers remaining on such station shall not share in the prizes taken by such inferior officer, or by ships or vessels under his im- mediate command, after he has quitted the limits of the station, except he has been detached as afore- said.
A commander-in-chief or other flag officer belonging to any station shall not share in any prize or prizes taken out of the limits of that station by any ship or vessel under the command of a flag officer of any other station, or under orders from Our Commissioners of the Admiralty, unless such comman- der-in-chief or flag officer is expressly authorised by Our said Commissioners to take the command of that station in which the prize or prizes is or are taken, and shall actually have taken upon him such command.
Every commodore having a captain under him shall be esteemed a flag officer with respect to the twentieth part of prizes taken, whether he be commanding-in-chief or serving under command.
The first captain to the admiral and commander-in-chief of Our fleet, and also the first captain to any flag officer appointed to command a fleet of ten ships of the line or upwards, shall be deemed to be a flag officer for the purpose of sharing in prize, and shall be entitled to share therein as the junior flag officer of such fleet.
Any officer on board any of Our ships of war at the time of capturing any prize or prizes, who shall have more commissions than one, shall be entitled only to share in such prize or prizes according to the share alloted to him by the above-mentioned distribution in respect to his superior commission or office.
And with reference to other officers it is to be noted that a captain, commander, or other com- manding officer of a ship or vessel, shall be deemed to be under the command of a flag, when he shall have received some order from, or be acting in the execution of some order issued by, a flag officer. whether he be, or be not within the limits of the station of such flag officer; and in the event of his be ing directed to join a flag officer on any station he shall be deemed to be under the command of such flag officer from the time when he arrives within the limits of the station, which circumstance is ai- ways to be carefully noted in the log book; and it shall be considered that he continues under the flag officer of such station, until he shall have received some order directly from or be acting in the cxecution of some order issued by some other flag officer, duly authorized, or by the Lord High Ad- miral, or Our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral.
J
And We hereby direct, that the captain, commander, lieutenant commanding, master command ing, or any other officer, duly commanding any ship, sloop or vessel of war, singly taken any prize from the enemy, that is to say, the officer actually in command at the time, shall have one-eighth of remainder, or if there is no flag, one-eighth of the entire net proceeds, except that if the single capturing ship be a rated ship, having a commander under the captain, the commander shall take portion of the one-eighth part, as if he were commander of a sloop, according to the proportion here. inafter set forth; and if more than one commanding officer of the same rank of command shall be entitled to share as joint captors, the one-eighth shall be equally divided between them; but when captains, commanders, lieutenants commanding, and masters commanding respectively Our ships and vessels of war, and commanders under captains in rated ships shall'share together in whatever variety of combination, the one-eighth shall be so divided into parts for a graduated apportionment as to provide for each captain receiving six parts; each commander of a sloop, or commander under a cap- tain in a rated ship, three parts; and each lieutenant commanding, or master commanding, or other
140
officer actually commanding a small vessel of war, two parts; which We hereby direct shall be the proportion in which they shall respectively share; commodores of the second class and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, doing duty as field officers, above the rank of major, to share as captains; and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, and doing duty in the rank of major, to share as commanders of sloops.

it cannot be conducted in so

And it is hereby further ordered by Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council as aforesaid, that any Russian merchant vessel which, prior to the twentyninth day of March now last past, shall have sailed from any foreign port, bound for any port or place in any of Her Majesty's Indian territories, or foreign or colonial possessions, shall be permitted to enter such port or place, and to discharge her cargo, and afterwards forthwith to depart without molestation; and that any such vessel, if met at sea by any of Her Majesty's ships, shall be permitted to continue her voyage to any port not blockaded,

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION,
THE Contract hitherto in force for the publication of GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATIONS having ceased on the 21st instant. Contracts hereby given, that the HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, this day established, will be hereafter the only Official Organ of Proclamations, Notifications, and all Public Papers of this Government.

W. CAINE, Colonial Secretary.
Victoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1853.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
The following notice lately given to the Chinese Inhabitants is published for general information, The delay in collecting the ordinary police rate for the current quarter will of course extend to all rate-payers of whatever nation.
Colonial Secretary Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 10th June, 1854.
By Order,
C. B. HILLIER, Officiating Colonial Secretary.
NOTICE.
WHEREAS it has become necessary to hire for a short period during the absence of the British Men-of-War an extra (number of Policemen to protect the Lives and Property of the Inhabitants and Whereas an Ordinance was passed empowering the Lieutenant-Governor to raise an additional rate of three per cent for the payment of such extra force; Notice is hereby given that the Collectors of Police Rate have been directed to levy the said Rate of three per cent accordingly; but as the Lieu- tenant-Governor trusts to be able in the course of one or two months to dispense with the services of this Auxiliary Force, and thus to be relieved from the necessity of exercising in full the powers vested in him by the aforesaid Ordinance, he has directed the Collectors to refrain for the present from levying the ordinary rate due for the current quarter, in the hope that it may be practicable ultimately to remit it wholly or in part.
The Lieutenant-Governor takes this opportunity of assuring the Inhabitants that the measures adopted for their protection are such as in his opinion should entirely allay the slight alarm caused by the departure of Her Majesty's Ships-of-war; and he urges upon all householders the desirability of strengthening by their influence that proper sense of security which it has been his aim to preserve

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
The Honorable the Lieutenant-Governor desires to record the thanks of the Government to this Community for the prompt manner in which it has responded to his suggestion to form a Volunteer Corps for the protection of life and property; and he doubts not that so ready and energetic a mauifestation of public spirit will have its due effect in supplying the partial want of confidence that recent events have inevitably caused.

I enclose a form of order by the “Chief Justice or other Fudge," for the penal servitude, transportation, or intermediate custody, of Military offenders, which has been approved by the Law advisers in this country
as suited to the provisions of the Act. Whenever such an order is made, it should be duly “notified" to you: and if the order is for penal servitude or transportation of an European Military offender, you will cause such offender to be removed to England to be dealt with according to Law.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
