Government, for the value of pro- 

 perty, moveable or immoveable, 

 unduly confiscated by the French 

 authorities, as well as for the total 

 or partial loss of their debts or 

 other property, unduly detained 

 under sequestration since the year 

 1792. 



France engages to treat in this 

 respect the subjects of England 

 with the same justice that the sub- 

 jects of France have experienced 

 in England ; and the English go- 

 vernment wishing, on its part, to 

 concur in this new testimony that 

 the allied powers have given to his 

 most Christian Majesty of their 

 desire to remove entirely the con- 

 sequences of the epoch of misfor- 

 tune, so happily terminated by the 

 present peace, engages on its side 

 (as soon as complete justice shall 

 be done to its subjects), to re- 

 nounce the whole amount of the 

 excess which may be found in its 

 favour, relative to the maintenance 

 of the prisoners of war, so that the 

 ratification of the result of the 

 labours of the undersigned com- 

 missioners, and the payment of 

 the sums, as also the restitution of 

 the effects which shall be adjudg- 

 ed to belong to the subjects of his 

 Britannic Majesty, shall render its 

 renunciation complete. 



Art. V. The two high contract- 

 ing powers, desirous to establish 

 the most amicable relations be- 

 tween their respective subjects, 

 reserve to themselves a promise to 

 come to an understanding and ar- 

 rangement as soon as possible, on 

 their commercial interests, with 

 the intention of encouraging and 

 augmenting the prosperity of their 

 respective states. 



The present additional articles 

 shall have the same force and vali- 

 dity as if they had bqen inserted in 



those words in the treaty of this 

 da}'. They shall be ratified, and 

 the ratifications shall be exchang- 

 ed at the same time. In faith of 

 which, the respective plenipoten- 

 tiaries have signed them, and af- 

 fixed the seal of their arms.

Additional Article of lite Treaty 

 with Prussia. 



Although the treaty of peace 

 concluded at Basil,, the 5th of 

 April 1795, that of Tilsit of the 

 9th of July, 1807, the convention 

 of Paris of the 20th of September, 

 1808, as well as all the conven- 

 tions and acts whatsoever, con- 

 cluded since the peace of Basil be- 

 tween Prussia and France, are 

 already in fact annulled by the 

 present treaty, the high contract- 

 ing parties have judged it never-, 

 theless proper to declare again ex- 

 pressly, that the said treaties cease 

 to be obligatory, both in the arti- 

 cles that are expressed, and those 

 that are secret, and that they mu- 

 tually renounce every right, and 

 disengage themselves of every ob- 

 ligation which might result from 

 them. 



His Most Christian Majesty 

 promises, that the decrees issued 

 against French, or reputed French 

 subjects, being or having been in
