 Russia, as likewise the natives of 

 other parts, who, in consequence 

 of the war, are now in Russia, may

 Russia, within the space of eighteen

Art. 8. The Ottoman Porte 

 grants a pardon and general am-

 no wise or means be molested for 

 their last actions. The fortresses 

 lately erected in their country shall 

 bedemolished asbeing unnecessar}', 

 and the Sublime Porte will put 

 garrisons into the ancient fortified 

 places. But that such garrisons 

 shall not infringe any of the rights 

 belonging to the Servian people, 

 the Sublime Porte will for such 

 purpose adopt, in concert with the 

 Servian nation, such measures as 

 may be necessary for their security. 

 The Porte grants to the Servian 

 nation the same advantages as are 

 enjoyed by her subjects of the 

 islands in the Archipelago, and of 

 the other districts ; and causes it 

 to partake of the effects of her 

 magnanimity, by permitting it to 

 have the sole management of its 

 internal concerns, by fixing the 

 mass of contributions which it will 

 receive from its own hands ; and.

 of the subjects of both parties,

 be again examined and decided 

 according to law. 



Art. 11. The Russian troops 

 shall quit the provinces, fortresses, 

 and towns restored, within three

 thing necessary.
