SEPARATE ARTICLES. 



ART. I. Some of the titles made use of by the contracting parties, 

 whether in the full powers, and other instruments, during the course 

 of the negociation, or in the preamble of the present treaty, not being 

 generally acknowledged, it has been agreed that no prejudice should 

 ever result therefrom to either of the said contracting parties; and 

 that the titles taken or omitted, on either side, upon occasion of the 

 said negociation, and of the present treaty, shall not be cited, or 

 quoted as a precedent. 



ART. II. It has been agreed and determined, that the French lan- 

 guage, made use of in all the copies of the present treaty, shall not 

 form an example which may be alledged, or quoted as a precedent, or. 

 in any manner, prejudice either of the contracting powers; and that 

 they shall conform, for the future, to what has been observed, and 

 ought to be observed, with regard to, and on the part of powers, who 

 are in the practice and possession of giving and receiving copies of 

 like treaties in a different language from the French; the present 

 treaty having, nevertheless, the same force and virtue as if the afore- 

 said practice had been therein observed. 



In witness whereof, we the under-written ambassador extraor- 

 dinary, and ministers plenipotentiary of their Britannic and most 

 Christain majesties, have signed the present separate articles, and 

 have caused the seals of our arms to be affixed thereto.
