 and the full exercise of all their 

 rights over their property, debts, and 

 effects, which they have now, or 

 may hereafter have, in the kingdom 

 of Sweden, on the footing of the 

 10th article of the present treaty. 



X. The Fins now in Sweden, as 

 well as tlie Swedes now in Finland, 

 shall be at full liberty to return into 

 their respective countries, and to 

 dispose of their property, moveable 

 and immovable, without paying 

 any duty of removal, or any other 

 impost due on the like occasions. 



The subjects of the two high 

 powers, established in either coun- 

 try, Sweden or Finland, shall have 

 full liberty to establish themselves 

 in the other, during the space of 

 three years, from the date of the 

 exchange of the ratification of the 

 present treaty ; but shall be held to 

 sell or alienate, during the said pe- 

 riod, to any subject of the power 

 whose dominion they desire to quit. 



The property of those who, at 

 the expiration of the above term, 

 have not complied with this regu- 

 lation, shall be sold at a public sale, 

 by authority of the magistrate, and 

 the produce thereof delivered to the 

 owners. 



During the three years above fix-

 make such use as they may please 

 of their property, the peaceable en- 

 joyment of which is formally secur-

 agents, pass, freely from one state to 

 the other, in order to manage their 

 affairs, without experiencing any ob- 



stacle whatever, in consequence of 

 theirquality of subjects of the other 

 power. 



XI. There shall henceforth be a 

 perpetual oblivion of the past, and 

 a general amnesty for the respective 

 subjects, whose opinions, in favour 

 of one or the other of the high con- 

 tracting parties during the present 

 war, may have rendered them sus- 

 pected or liable to punishment. — 

 No trial shall hereafter be instituted 

 against them on such grounds. If 

 any process have been commenced, 

 it shall be annulled and superseded, 

 and no new proceeding shall be 

 commenced.

 revenues shall, in consequence, be 

 immediately removed, and the pro- 

 perty shall be reserved to the own- 

 ers ; it being well understood that 

 such as become subjects of either of 

 the two powers, in virtue of the 

 preceding article, shallhavenoright 

 to claim from the sovereign, of 

 whom they have ceased to be a sub- 

 ject, the annuities or pensions which 

 may have been obtained in virtue 

 of acts of grace, concessions or ap- 

 pointments, for preceding services.

 chives and other documents, public 

 and private, the plans and charts of 

 fortresses, towns and territories, de- 

 volved by the present treaty to his 

 majesty the emperor of all the 

 Russias, including the charts and 

 papers which may be deposited in 

 the surveyor's office, shall be faith- 

 fully delivered up, within the space 

 of six months ; or if that period 

 should be found too short, at the 

 latest within one year. 



XIII. Immediately after the ex- 

 change of the ratifications, the high 

 contracting parties shall remove all
