Art. V. The money to be paid by China is on account of French military expenditure, and losses sustained 
by Frencli merchants and others under (French) protection, whose hongs and chattels at Canton were burnt 
and plundered by the populaee. The French Government will at a future period divide the money in fair pro- 
portions amorig such sufferers, — the amount to be appropriated for the losses and injuries incurred by such 
French subjects and others protected, to be One Million of Taels. The remainder will be retained for military 
expenses. 
Art. VI. It shall be promulgated throughout the length and breadth of the land, in the terms of the 
Imperial Edict of the 20th February, 1846, that it is permitted to all people in all parts of China to propagate 
and practice the „teachings of the Lord of Heaven, “ to meet together for the preaching of the doctrine, to build 
churches and to worship; further, all such as indiscriminately arrest (Christians) shall be duly punished; and 
such churches, schools, cemeteries, lands, and buildings, as were owned on former occasions by persecuted 
Christians shall be paid for, and the money handed to the French Representative at Peking, for transmission 
to the Christians in the localities concerned. It is, in addition , permitted to French Missionaries to rent and 
purchase land in all the provinces, and to erect buildings thereon at pleasure. 
Art. VII. On the day on which the Ministers of the two countries affix their seals and signatures, the port of 
Tientsin, in the province of Chih-li , shall be opened to trade on the same conditions as the other ports. The pro- 
visions of the present Convention shall take effect from the day on which it is signed, no separate Ratification of 
the same being necessary: they shall bc observed and enforced just as if forming part of the text of the Treaty öf 
Tientsin. And on the receipt of Five hundred thousand taels at Tientsin, the French forces , Naval and Military, 
shall retire from Tientsin and occupy the two ports of Taku and Yen-tae (Chefoo), where they are to remain until 
the payment in full of the Indemnity, — upon which the French forces, at whatever places stationed, shall one 
and all be withdrawn from Chinese territory; but the Naval and Military Commanders in Chief may encamp 
soldiers for the winter in Tientsin, and on the payment of the ready money indemnity the force shall retire from 
Tien tsin. 
Art. VIII. On the exchange of the Ratifications of the Treaty of 1858, Chusan shall at once be evacuated by 
the French forces now stationed there ; and on the payment in full of the sum of Five hundred thousand Taels for 
which this Convention provides - — with the exception of (that portion of) the force which, being about to winter 
at Tientsin will remain there for a time, and which it is considered inconvenient to at once withdraw, — as is 
stated in the seventh Article, the various forces occupyirig Tientsin shall be -withdrawn from that city, and shall 
retire to the Taku forts, the North Coast of Tangchow and the city of Canton where they will be stationed until the 
Indemnity of Eight Millions of Taels, guaranteed by this Convention, shall ha.ve been paid in full: the occupant 
forces, as above referred to, shall then be entirely withdrawn. 
Art. IX. On the exchange of the Ratifications of the Treaty of 1848, His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor 
of China, will by Decree notify to the High Authorities of every Province, that Chinese, choosing to take service 
in the French Colonies , or other ports beyond sea, are at perfect liberty to enter into engagements with French 
subjects for that purpose, and to ship themselves and their families on board any vessel at any of the open 
ports of China; also that the High Authorities aforesaid shall, in concert with the Representative in China of 
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France, frame such regulations for the protection of Chinese emigrating 
as above, as the circumstances of the different ports may demand. 
Art. X. A mistake having crept into the text of the 22d Article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin in 
the year 1858 to the effect, that Tonnage Dues would be charged on French ships over one hundred and fifty 
tons burthen at the rate of Five Mace per ton, it is now agreed, that on vessels of more than one hundred and 
fifty tons, Tonnage Dues shall be levied at the rate of Four Mace per ton; on vessels of less than one hundred 
and fifty tons, one mace per ton shall be collected. From henceforth, French vessels entering port shall each 
and all pay Tonnage Dues in accordanee with the rates hereby fixed.
