ill ■ ports and places on its eastern fide,
to whichfoever of the parties belong
ing may freely he referred to and used
Sv bath parries, in as ample a manner

duty now payable on the importation
of European and Asiatic goods when

American vrfieis, driven by stress of
weather danger of enemies, or other
misfortune, to feck {richer, fiiall
be received in port - into which
veifels could not ordinarily claim to be;
ad mis ted. ft ids uipuldtion is now
mac’s reciprocal.

ty.
The nineteenth is the fame as the twenty-fifth

ment.
The twent-third fecurcs to each the rights of

this treaty is not to interfere with antecedent en
gagements, And,
The twenty-fisth limits the duration to ten
years from the exchange of ratifications.
It is dated the 31 December, ISOS ; but pre
vious to the signature, two notes were given,
by the Britilh to the American cemmufiocere.
The firft keeps open for future difeuffion a claim
of Britain not to pay more on goods lent from
Canada or New Brunswick, into the tenhorie-i
of the \j. States, than is paid cn the importation
of such goods in American (bip3. The fecund
note declares that the king of Great Britain he a
dire&ed h:s ccJcnaifSonen, before they fig> the
treaty, to deliver that rote, in order that a fair
uuderftajiding nfay be rad by all parties of his ]
Majesty’s views, in ccnfequence of the blockad
ing decree, to vuich the attention df the Ame
rican conuniuioners is invited. The decree so
recer.t in print cf time, and so novei and mon
(Irons in ft.hftar.ee, that his Majef.y it at a Lfs
to calculate on events ! but fuppolL.g, however,
I that it will be formally abandoned or totally re
j linquiil.-ed by Bonaparte, or in case he is mistaken
!in that fur.poution, he reds with confidence on
i the good ienfe of the government of the IT. S.
! that the y will not fubm-t to an innovation so des*
| truclive of tire rights of neutral commerce.—
Should he, however, be mistaken in ail these
points, and the enemy (liould actually carry into
execution his threats, and neutral nations ao
cuiefee in such ufurpatidn, he may probably, _ th o’
I rcluftautiy.be obliged to retaliate. The treaty
] fecurcs to the United States 10 many privileges
•of neutral commerce, that at a time when his
| Majeity and neural nations are threatened with
such extension of belligerent pretensions from his
! enemies, without any explanation from the U.
States what they will do in case Bonaparte at
tempts *0 Lice on them his decree, his Majesty
must reserve to himfelf to act according to con-;
, tingencies in that particular, the signing if the;
| treaty notwlthftanding. And as the distance of
1 the American commiffiouers from their govern
ment renders a previous explanation inopo Bible,
j hismajefty anthorifes his comaiiflionen to finifh
] the treaty. This is done under the fulled per
| suasion, that, before the treaty returns to Europe
I from America ratified, time will difeover the
1 formal abandonment or tacit relinqiiilliinent of
I the enemy of his pretensions; cr in case that
. ftioulj net take place, that the government of
j the United States, by their conduct or a.Tur
* ances, will secure his majesty that they will cot
submit to innovations so deftrucrive o r n 1 a rid me
rights. JV.it in case Bonaparte enforces his ue
i tree according to its tenor, and if neither by the
i atTurar.cr s nor con duel of America a disposition
| is (hewn to oppose it, his-majesty wilhes it to be
Ifairly and dearly undentooci, that lie will not
conlider himfejf botmd by the fignatye of his
! comn.iiuonera to ratify ; or in case ho ratifies, he
1 will not and cannot be. precluded from adopting
| such nicafurcs as may leem neceftary fur conn
teradling the defigus of his enemy, wlieoever ’
they (hall occur, and be of lat h aa cstraordina* I
ry nature, as to require extraoidioary’ remedies.’
