jut equality between’ Ruffian and 
Britifli fubjets, both the one and 
the other fhall-pay the fame duties 
of exportation and of importation, 
whetherit-bein Ruffia, or in Great 
Britain and Ireland, whether it be 
in Ruilian or in Britith veflels; and 
no regulation fhall-be made by the 
high contraéting parties in favour 
of their own fubjects, which the 
‘fubjects of the other high contrac- 
ing party fhall not enjoy, and. that 
underftood dona fide, under whatever 
name or form it may be, in fuch 
manner as, that the fubjects of one 
of the powers fhall have no ad- 
vantage over thofe of the other in 
the refpective dominions. 
_ VI. Every aififtance and poffible 
difpatch fhall be given for the load- 
ing and unloading of veflels, as well 
as for the entry and departure of 
their merchandife, according to the 
regulations made for that purpofe ; 
and they fhall not in any manner 
be detained, upon the penalties 
announced in the faid regulations. 
In like manner, if the fubje&ts of 
Great Britain make contracts with 
any chancery or college whatfoever, 
for delivering certain merchandife 
or effects, on the declaration that 
thofe merchandifes are ready to be 
delivered; and after they fhall have 
been actually delivered within the 
term fixed in thofe contracts, they 
fhall be received, and the accounts 
thall be regulated and liquidated in 
confequence, between the faid col- 
lege or chancery and the Britith 
merchants, within the time which 
fhall have been fixed in the faid 
contracts. The fame rule fhall be 
obferved in the dominions of Great 
Britain towards Ruffian merchants. 
_ VII. It isagreed that the fubjeéts 
of Great Britain may, in all the 
gilics and places of Ruffia where it 
271 
is allowed to any other nation to 
trade, pay for merchandife bought 
in the fame current money of 
Ruffia which they have taken for 
their merchandife fold, unlefs the 
contrary. fhould be ftipnlated in 
their contratts. The fame is to be 
underftood equally refpecting Ruf- 
fian merchandife in the dominions 
of Great Britain. 
VII. In the places where em- 
barkations are ufually made, it thal 
be perrfitted to the fubjeéts of the 
high contracting parties to load their 
fhips or carriages with, and to tranf- 
port by water and by land all forts 
of merchandife which they may 
have bought (with the exception of 
thofe of which the exportation is 
prohibited) on paying the cuftom- 
houfe duties, provided that thofe 
fhips and carriages conform them~ 
felves to the laws. 
IX. The fubjects of the high 
contracting parties fhall not pay 
more duties upon the entry or de- 
parture of their merchandife than 
are paid by the fubjeéts of other 
nations. Neverthelefs, in order to 
prevent, on both fides, the cuftom- 
houfe from being defrauded, in the 
cafe of the difcovery of merchan- 
dife imported clandeftinely, and 
without paying the cuftom-houfe 
duty, they fhall be confifcated ; and 
the merchants convicted of contra~ 
banding fhall be fubjected to the 
fine eftablifhed by the Jaw in fuch 
cafes. 
X. It fhall be permitted to the 
high contracting parties to go, come, 
and trade freely in the flaies with 
which the one or the other of thofe 
parties fhall be, in prefent or in 
future, at war, provided that they 
do not carry ammunition to the 
enemy: with the exception, ne- 
verthelefs, of places actually block-
