The Ships and Vessels of Nations that rest neuter and at Peace with the

World during a War with other Nations, have a Right to navigate freely

on the Seas as they navigated before that War broke out, and to proceed

to and enter the Port or Ports of any of the Belligerent Powers, _with

the consent of that Power_, without being seized, searched, visited, or

any ways interrupted, by the Nation or Nations with which that Nation is

at War.
