 made by his Britannic majesty, in 

 the fifth article of the treaty signed 

 this day, of the island of Guada-

 by that act to the inhabitants of 

 the colony, shall be preserved and 

 maintained.

 other subjects of his majesty the 

 King of Sweden enjoy, conforma-

 the period of the cession, the in-

 more willing to contract, as this 

 traffic has never been authorised 

 by him.

 tinuance of the present war, all 

 armed vessels and privateers be- 

 longing to states at war with Great 

 Britain, from the ports and har- 

 bours of Guadaloupe ; and not to
