§ MR. FENWICKsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government has received information that the Danish Government will permit vessels that have been delayed by ice in the port of Lubec to leave that port without being subject to capture; and whether Her Majesty's Government will urge on the Banish Government the justice of permitting German ships which have been delayed by ice in German ports before the commencement of the war, and having cargoes on board belonging to British merchants, to leave such port without being subject to capture?
§ MR. LAYARD,in reply, begged to state that the regulations of the Danish Government on this subject had been published in the Gazette. It was therein stated that a reasonable time, to be named by the owners of vessels detained in port by the ice, would be allowed for their departure. He had not received any information that Lubec had been blockaded. A few hours ago, however, an intimation reached him of the blockade of the following ports—Cammim, Swinemunde, Wolgast, Greifswalde, Stralsund, and Barth.
