Doc. No. IS. 



intention of his Catholic Majesty is not in any manner to cancel all 

 the stipulations contained in the above-mentioned treaties: he declares^ 

 on the contrary, from henceforth, that he is disposed to maintain all th& 

 privileges; facilities, and advantages expressed in the old treaties, as far 

 as they shall be reciprocal, or compensated by equivalent advantages.. 

 It is to attain this end, desired on each side, that commissaries are to be 

 named to treat upon the state of trade between the two nations, and that 

 a considerable space of time is to be allowed for completing their work. 

 His Catholic Majesty hopes that this object will be pursued with the 

 same good faith, and with the same spirit of conciliation, which have 

 presided over the discussion of all the other points included in the defini- 

 tive treaty; and his said majesty is equally confident that the respective 

 commissaries will employ the utmost diligence for the completion of this 

 important work.
