ANNUAL REGISTER, 1814. 



As the Swedish paper-money has 

 never been current in Swedish Po- 

 merania, so his Majesty the King 

 of Denmark engages to make no 

 alteration in this respect, without 

 the knowledge and consent of the 

 States of the Province. 



IX. As his Majesty the King of 

 Sweden, by the 6th Article of the 

 Treaty of alliance, entered into at 

 Stockholm, the 3rd of March, 1813, 

 with his Majesty the King of 

 Great Britain and Ireland, bound 

 himself to open, for the period of 

 20 years, reckoning from the 

 date of the exchange of the ratifi- 

 cation of the treaty, the port of 

 Stralsiind, as an entrepot for all co- 

 lonial produce, merchandise, and 

 manufactures, brought from Eng- 

 land and her colonies, in English 

 or Swedish vessels, upon payment 

 of one per cent, ud valorem on the 

 goods tints introduced, and an equal 

 duty on their removal from thence ; 

 so his Majesty the King of Den- 

 mark engages to fulfil ibis existing 

 agreement, and to renew the same 

 in his Treaty with Great Britain. 



X. The public debt which is 

 contracted by the Royal Pomera- 

 nian Chamber, remains chargeable 

 on the King of Denmark, as Sove- 

 reign of the Dukedom of Pomera- 

 nia, who takes upon himself the 

 stipulations agreed upon for the 

 reduction of the said debt. 



XI. The King of Denmark re- 

 cognises the donations which the 

 King of Sweden has given on the 

 domains and revenues in Swedish 

 Pomerania and the ilse of Ru- 

 gen, and which amount to the 

 yearly sum of 48,000 Pomeranian 

 rix dollars; his Majesty also binds 

 himself to maintain the donatories 

 in the full and undisturbed posses- 

 sion of their rights and revenues, 



so that they may receive, sell, op 

 make over the same, and that all 

 may be paid them without any 

 hinderance, and without duties 

 and expenses under whatsoever 

 name. 



XII. Their Majesties tlie King 

 of Sweden and tl»e King of Den- 

 mark mutually engage never to 

 divert from their original destina- 

 tion monies appropriated to objects 

 of beneficence or public utility, in 

 the countries thus reciprocally ob- 

 tained by the present treaty, name- 

 ly, the Kingdom of Norway and 

 the Dukedom of Swedish Pomera- 

 nia, with their respective depen- 

 dencies. 



The King of Sweden, in pursu- 

 ance of this mutual agreement, en- 

 gages to support the Universities of 

 Norway, and the King of Den-

The payment of all public offices 

 both in Norway and Pomerania, is 

 to remain a charge upon the ac- 

 quiring power, reckoning from the 

 day of taking possession. 



Pensioners are to receive the 

 pensions assigned to them by the 

 preceding Government without in- 

 terruption or chantre. 



XIII. As the King of Sweden,, 

 so far as is practicable, and as de- 

 pends upon him, wishes that the 

 King of Denmark may receive 

 compensation for the renunciation 

 of the Kingdom of Norway, of 

 which his Majesty has given satis- 

 factory proof in the cession of Swe- 

 dish Pomerania and the Isle of 

 Rugen, so his Majesty will use all 

 his endeavours with the Allied

 Norway.
