The same duties shall be paid, and the same bounties allowed, on 

 the exportation of any articles the growth, produce, or manufacture 

 of His Britannic Majesty's territories in Europe, to the United 

 States, whether such exportation shall be in vessels of the United 

 States or in British vessels ; and the same duties shall be paid, and the 

 same bounties allowed, on the exportation of any articles the growth, 

 produce, or manufacture of the United States, to His Britannic 

 Majesty's territories in Europe, whether such exportation shall be 

 in British vessels or in vessels of the United States. 



It is further agreed, that, in all cases where drawbacks are, or may 

 me, allowed upon the re-exportation of any goods the growth, pro- 

 duce, or manufacture of either country, respectively, the amount of 

 the said drawbacks shall be the same, whether the said goods shall 

 have been originally imported in a British or an American vessel. 

 But when such re-exportation shall take place from the United States 

 in a British vessel, or from the territories of His Britannic Majesty 

 in Europe in an American vessel, to any other foreign nation, the two 

 contracting parties reserve to themselves, respectively, the right of 

 regulating or diminishing, in such case, the amount of the said 

 drawbacks.

 Majesty's possessions in the West Indies and on the continent of 

 Xorth America shall not be affected by any of the provisions of this 

 article, but each party shall remain in the complete possession of its 

 rights with respect to such an intercourse. 



Art. 3. His Britannic Majesty agrees that the vessels of the United 

 States of America shall be admitted, and hospitably received, at the 

 principal settlements of the British dominions in the East Indies, 

 viz: Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Prince of Wales's Island, and 

 that the citizens of the said United States may freely carry on 

 30 trade between the said principal settlements and the said 

 United States, in all articles of which the importation and 

 exportation, respectively, to and from the said territories, shall not 

 be entirely prohibited: Provided, only, that it shall not be lawful for 

 them, in any time of war between the British Government and any 

 State or Power whatever, to export from the said territories, without 

 the special permission of the British Government, any military stores, 

 or naval stores, or rice. The citizens of the United States shall pay 

 for their vessels, when admitted, no higher or other duty or charge 

 than shall be payable on the vessels of the most favoured European 

 nations; and they shall pay no higher or other duties or charges on 

 the importation or exportation of the cargoes of the said vessels than 

 shall be payable on the same articles when imported or exported in 

 the vessels of the most favoured European nations. But it is ex- 

 pressly agreed, that the vessels of the United States shall not carry 

 any articles from the said principal settlements to any port or place, 

 except to some port or place in the United States of America, where 

 the same shall be unladen. 



It is also understood that the permission granted by this arti- 

 cle is not intended to allow the vessels of the United States to
