tranfacl and to treat of every kihd
buffnefs, affd to make Ales and pur
chafes of every kind of goods, on
which they are to pay the lawful
duties, excepting qiamonds, gold
duff and wood of Brazil, which are
‘articles belonging exclusively to
the CTCvn and royal revenue ; the
traffic in which is forbidden even to’
the fuhjeffs of his Royal Highnef*.
sth. The citiieni of the United
States may export all and every
kind cf production or manufa&me
of Brazil—ther duty being fo very
fir.ail on feme articles, tbit it might
a!moft be laid they were exported
without paying duties;
6:h Ever/ Amerkaa v^ffat
which enters the po?ts of Brazil
ought to declare (he brings
