1 trtyfsported in the freest manner, by the 1
citizens of both the contracting parties

excepting, only, those places which are,
at that time, besieged or blockaded ; and

declared, that those places only are be
sieged or blockaded,* which are actually
at acked by a belligerant force capable of
preventing the entry of the neutral.
« Article 19.
The articles of contraband before enu

ship without great inconvenience; but in
this, and in all other cases of just deten
tion, the vessel detained shall be sent to
the nearest convenient and safe port for

with a neutral of the other contracting
party, the first shall remain out ofcannon
shot, and may send its boats with two or
three men only, in order to execute the
said examination of the papers concern
ing the ownership and cargo ofthe vessel,
without causing the least extortion, vio
lencc, or ill-treatment, for which the com
manders ofthe said armed ships shall be
responsible, with their persons and pro
perty; for which purpose the commanders
' of the said private armed vessels shall,
before receiving their commissions, give
sufficient security to answer for all the
damages they may commit; and it is ex
pressly agreed, that the neutral party
shall, in no case, be required to go on
board the examining vessel for the pur- i
pose of exhibiting his papers, or for any
other person whatever.
Article 22.
To avoid all kinds of vexation and
abuse in the examination of the papers
relating to the ownership of the vessels
belonging to the citizens of the two con
tracting parties, they have .agreed, and
do agree, that in case one of them should
be engaged in war, the ships and vessels
belonging to the citizens of the other must
be furnished with sea-letters, or passports,
expressing the name, property, and bulk
of the ships, as also the name and place
ofthe habitation ofthe master and com
mander of said vessel, in order that it
may thereby appear that said ship truly
belongs 10 the citizens of one of the par.
ties ; they have likewise agreed that such
ships being laden, besides the said sea
letters or passports, shall also be provid
ed with certificates, containing the seve
ral particulars of the cargo, and the place
whence the ship sailed, so that it may be
known whether any forbidden or contra*
band goods be otl board the same ;
which certificates shall be made out by
the officers of the place whence the
ship sailed, in the accustomed form :
without such requisites, said vessels may
be detained, to be adjudged by the com
petent tribunal, and may be declared le
gal prizes, unless the said defect shall be
proved to be owing to accident, and sat
isfied or supplied by testimony entirely
equivalent.
Article 23.
It is further agreed, that the stipula
tions above expressed relative to the visit
ing and examination of vessels, shall ap
ply only to those which sail without con-
1, voy, and when said vessels shall be under
e convoy, the verbal declaration of the
commatldef ofthe convoy, on his word of
1, honor, that the vessels under his protec
s tion belong to the nation whose flag he
r carries ; and when they are bound to
an enemy’s port, that they have no con
-1 trabrand goods on board shall be suffi
cient.
i Article 24.
I It is further agreed, that in all cases
the established courts for prize causes, in
the country to which the prizes may be
conducted, shall alone take cognizance
of them ; and whenever such tribunals,
of either party, shall pronounce judg
ment against any vessel, or goods, or
property claimed by the citizens ofthe
other party, the sentence or decree shall
mention the reasons or motives on which
thet same shall have been founded, and an
copy ofthe sentence or de
cree, and of the proceedings in the case,
shall, if demanded, be delivered to the
commander or agent of said vesset, with
out any delay, he paying the legal fees 1
for the same. 1
Article 25.
Whenever one of the contracting par
ties shall be engaged in war with another
State, no citizen of the cither contracting J
party shall accept a commission or letter i
of marque, for the purpose of assisting or t
co-operating hostilely with the said ene- 1
my, against the said party, so at war, t
under the pain of being considered as a 1
pirate. c
Article 26.
If, by any fatality, which cannot be J
expected and which God forbid, the two t
contracting parties should be engaged in c
a war with each other, they have agreed, f
now for then, that there shall be allowed e
the term of six months to the merchants r
residing on the coasts, and in the ports of {
each other, and the term of one year to j
those who dwell in the interior, to ar- r
range their business, and transport their s
effects, wherever they please; giving to „
them the safe conduct necessary for it, j
which may serve as a sufficient protec- 9
tion until they arrive at the designated e
port. The citizens of all other occupa- j
tions, who may be established in the ter. r
ritories or dominions of the United States c
and the Republic of Venezuela, shall be ,
respected and maintained in the full en- j
joyment of their personal liberty and ]
property, unless their particular conduct
shall cause them to forfeit this protection, (
which, in consideration of humanity, the t
contracting parties engage to give them, i
Article 27. £
Neither the debts due from individuals (
of the one oa .on to the individuals of the j
other, nor shares, nor moneys which |

public or private banks,shall ever, in any
event of war or ofnational difference, be (
sequestered or confiscated. (
Article 28. 1
Both the contracting parties being de- (
sirous of avoiding all inequality in rela- (
tion to their public communications and (
official intercourse, have agreed, and do (
agree, to grant to the envoys, ministers (
and other public agents, the same favors, \
immunities and exemptions, which those |
ofthe most favored nation do, or shall on- (
joy : it being understood that whatever (
favors, immunities or privileges, the Uni
ted States of America or the Republic of j
ofVenczuela may find it proper to give
to the ministers and other public agents of
any other power, shall, by the same act, f
be extended to those of each of the con. (
trading parlies.
Article 29.
To make more effectual the prolection
which the United Slates and the Repub- j
lie of Venezuela shall afford in future to
the navigation and commerce of the citi- 1
zens of each other, they agree to receive
and admit consuls and vice,consuls in all J
the ports open to foreign commerce, who |
shall enjoy in them all the rights, pero- j
gatives, and immunities, of the consuls
and vice consuls of the most favored na
tion ; each contracting party, however,
remaining at liberty to except those ports
and places in which the admission and
residence of such consuls and vice con-
suls may not seem convenient.
Article 30.
In order that the consuls and vice-con
suls of the two contracting parties may
enjoy the rights, prerogatives and im
munities which belong to them by their
public character, they shall, before en
tering on the exercise of their functions,
exhibit their commission or patent indue

obliged to pay on account of commerce
or their property, to which the cit'zsns
and inhabitants, native and foreign, of the
country in which they reside are subject,
being in every thing besides, subject to
the laws of the respective States. The
archives and papers of the consulates
shall be respected inviolably, and, under
no pretext whatever, shall any magistrate
seize or in any way interfere with them.
Article 32.
The said consuls shall have power to
require the assistance of the authorities
ofthe country for the arrest, detention
and custody, of deserters from the public
and private vessels of their country, and
for that purpose, they shall address them
selves to the courts, judges and officers
competent, and shall demand the said
deserters in writing; proring by an ex
hibition of the of the vessel’s or
ship’s roll, or other public documents, that
those men were part of the said crews,
and on this demand so proved, (saving,
however, where the contrary is-pfoved,)
the delivery shall not be refused. Such
deserters, when arrested, shall be put at
the disposal of said consuls, and may be
put in the public prisons, at the request
and expense of those who reclaim them,
to bo sent to the ships to which they be
longed, or to others of the same nation.
But it they be not sent back within two
months, to be counted from the day of
their arrest, they shall be set at liberty,
and shall be no more arrested for the same
cause*

protecting their commerce and naviga
tion, the two contracting parties do here
by agree, as soon hereafter as circum
stances will permit them, to form a con
sular convention, which shall declare
especially the powers and immunities of
the consols and vice consuls of the res
pective parties.

to terminate the same ; each of the con.
trading parties reserving to itself the
right of giving such notice to the other
at the end of said term of twelve years ;
and it is hereby agreed between them
that, on the expiration of one year after
such notice shall have been received by
either from the other party, this treaty
in all its parts relative to commerce and
navigation, shall altogether cease and
determine, and in all those parts which
relate to peace and friendship, it shall be
perpetually and permanently binding on
both powers.

of either party shall infringe any of the
articles of this treaty, such citizen shall

gaging in no way to protect the offender,
or sanction such violation.
