dines, with the same stipulations in favour of the inhabitants of this 

 colony, inserted in the IVth article for those of Canada: and the 

 partition of the islands called neutral, is agreed and fixed, so that 

 those of St. Vincent, Dominico, and Tobago, shall remain in full 

 right to Great Britain, and that of St. Lucia shall be delivered to 

 France, to enjoy the same likewise in full right, and the high con- 

 tracting parties guarantee the partition so stipulated. 



X. His Britannic Majesty shall restore to France the Island of 

 Goree in the condition it was in when conquered: and His Most

 Great Britain the River Senegal, with the forts and factories of St. 

 Lewis, Podor, and Galam, and with all the rights and dependencies 

 of the said River Senegal. 



XI. In the East Indies Great Britain shall restore to France, in 

 the condition they are now in, the different factories which that 

 Crown possessed, as well as on the coast of Coromandel and Orixa 

 as on that of Malabar, as also in Bengal, at the beginning of the year 

 1749. And His Most Christian Majesty renounces all pretension to 

 the acquisitions which he has made on the coast of Coromandel and 

 Orixa since the said beginning of the year 1749. His Most Christian 

 Majesty shall restore, on his side, all that he may have conquered 

 from Great Britain in the East Indies during the present war; and

 Jing for lawful Subah of the Decan ; and both parties shall renounce

 fort were taken. 



XIII. The town and .port of Dunkirk shall be put into the state 

 fixed by the last treaty of Aix la Chapelle, and by former treaties. 

 The cunette shall be destroyed immediately after the exchange of the 

 ratifications of the present treaty, as well as the forts and batteries 

 which defend the entrance on the side of the sea ; and provision shall 

 be made at the same time for the wholesomeness of the air, and for 

 the health of the inhabitants, by some other means, to the satisfaction 

 of the King of Great Britain. 



XIV. France shall restore all the countries belonging to the Elec- 

 torate of Hanover, to the Landgrave of Hesse, to the Duke of Bruns- 

 wick, and to the Count of La Lippe Buckebourg, which are or shall 

 be occupied by His Most Christian Majesty's arms: the fortresses of 

 these different countries shall be restored in the same condition they 

 were in when conquered by the French arms; and the pieces of 

 artillery, which shall have been carried elsewhere, shall be replaced 

 by the same number, of the same bore, weight and metal.
