Article XXL
All other merchandise and things
not comprehended in the articles of
contraband explicitly enumerated
and classified as above shall be held
and considered as free, and subjects
of free and lawful commerce, so
that they may be carried and trans
ported in the freest manner oy ootn
the contracting parties, even to
places belonging to an enemy, ex
cepting only those places which are
at that time besieged or blockaded ;
and to avoid all doubt in this par
ticular, it is declared that those
places only shall be considered as
besieged or blockaded which are
actually invested or attacked by a
force capable of preventing the en
try of the neutral.
Article XXII.
The articles of contraband, or
those before enumerated and classi
fied, which, may be found in a ves
sel bound for an enemy's port, shall
be subject to detention and confisca
tion, but the rest of the cargo and
the ship shall be left free, that the
owners may dispose of them as they
see proper. No vessel of either of
the contracting parties shall be de
tained on the high seas on account
of having on board articles of con
traband, whenever the master,cap
taln, or supercargo of said vessel will
deliver up the articles of contraband
to the captor, unless, indeed, the
quantity of such articles be so great
or of so large bulk, that they cannot
be received on board the capturing
vessel without great inconvenience;
but in this, and in all other cases of
just detention, the vessel detained
shall be sent to the nearest conven-
ient and safe port for trial and judg
ment, according to law.
Article XXIII.
And whereas it frequently hap
pens that vessels sail for a port or
place belonging to an enemy with
out knowing that the same is be
sieged, blockaded, or invested, it is
agreed that every vessel so circum
stanced may be turned away irom
such port or place, but shall not be
detained ; nor shall any part of her
cargo, if not contraband, be confis
cateei, unless, after having been
warned of such blockade or invest
ment by a commanding officer of a
vessel forming part of the blockad
ing forces, she again attempts to
enter ; but she shall be permitted
to go to any other port or place the
master or supercargo may think
proper. Xor shall any vessel of
either party that may have entered
into such port or place before the
same was actually besieged, block
aded, or invested by the other, be
restrained from leaving it with her
cargo, nor, if found therein before
or after the reduction or surrender,
shall such vessel or her cargo be li
able to seizure, confiscation, or any
demand on the score of redemption
or restitution, but the owners there
of shall remain in the undisturbeel
possession of their property. And
if any vessel having thus entered
the port before the blockade took
place shall take on board a cargo
after the blockade be established
and attempt to depart, she may be
warned by the blockading forces to
return to the blockaded port and
discharge the said cargo ; and if,
after receiving such warning, the
vessel shall persist in going out
with the cargo, she shall be liable
to the same consequences as in the
case of a vessel attempting to enter
a blockaded port after having been
warned off by the blockading forces.
Article XXIV.
To prevent disorder and irregular
ity in visiting anel examining the
vessels and cargoes of both the con
tracting parties on the high seas,
they have agreed mutually that
whenever a vessel of war, public or
private, shall meet with a neutral
of the other party, the former shall
remain at the greatest distance com
patible with the possibility and
safety of making the visit, under
the circumstances oi wind and sea.
and the degree of suspicion attenel-
the vessel to be visited, and shall
send one of her small boats with
no more men than may be necessary
to execute the said examination of
the papers concerning the owner
ship and concerning the ownership
and cargo of the vessel, without
causing the least extortion, violence
or ill treatment, in respect ol which
the commanders of said armed ves
sels shall be responsible with their
persons and property ; for which
purpose the commanders of said
private armed vessels shall, before
receiving their commissions, give
sufficient security to answer for all
the injuries and damages they may
commit. And it is expressly agreed
that the neutral party shall in no
case be reouired to ero on board of
the examining vessel for the pur
pose of exhioiting the ship's pa
pers, nor for any purpose whatever.
Article XXV.
Both contracting parties likewise
agree that when one of them shall
be engaged in war, the vessels of
the other must be furnished with
sea letters, patents or passports, in
which shall be expressed the name,
burden of the vessel, and the name
and place of residence of the owner
A At .
and master, or captain tnereoi, in
in order that it may appear that
the veasel really and truly belongs
to citizens of the said other party.
It is also agreed that such vessel, be
ing laelen, besides the said sea let
ters, patents, or passports, shall be
provided with manifests or certifi
cates containing the particulars of
the cargo, and the place where it
was taken on board, so that it may
be known whether any part of the
same consists of contraband or pro
hibited articles; which certificate
shall be made out in the accustomed
form by the authorities of the port
whence the vessel sailed ; without
which requisites the vessel may be
detained, to be adjudged by the
competent tribunals, and may be
declared good and legal prize, un
less it shall be proved that the said
defect or omission was owing to ac
cident, or unless it shall be satisfied
or supplied by testimony equivalent
in the opinion of the said tribunals,
for which purpose there shall be al-
a 1 j m A.
lowed a reasoname lengtn oi time
to procure and present it.
Article XXVI.
The preceding stipulations rela
tive to the visit and examination of
vessels shall apply only to those
which sail without eonvoy ; tor
when said vessels snail bounder

the commander of the convoy, on
his word of honor, that the vessels
under his protection belong to the
nation whose flag they carry, and
when they are bound to an enemy's
port, that they have no contraband
goods on board, shall be sufficient.
Article XXVII.
It is further agreed that, in all
prize cases, the courts especially es
tablished for such, causes in the
country to which the prizes may be
conducted shall alone take cogni
zance of them. And whenever
such courts of either party shall
pronounce judgment against any
vessel, merchandise, or property
claimed by the citizens of the other
party, the sentence or decree shall
set forth the reasons or motives on
which the same shall havo been
founded; and an authenticated
copy of the sentence or decree, anel
of all the proceedings connected
with the case, , shall, if demanded,
bo elelivereel to the commander or
agent of the said vessel, merchan
dise, or property, without any ex
cuse or elelay, upon payment of the
establish el legal fees for the same.
Article XXVIII.
Whenever one of the contracting
parties shall be engaged in war
with another nation, no citizen of
the other contracting party shall
accept a commission or letter of
marque for the purpose of assisting
or cooperating hostilely with the
saip enemy against the said party
so at war, under pain of being treat
ed as a pirate.
Article XXIX.
If, which Is not to be expected, a
rupture should at any time take
place between the two contracting
nations, and they should eneraere in
war with each other, they have
agreed, now for then, that the mer
chants, traders, and other citizens
of all occupations of either of the
two parties residing in the cities,
ports, and dominions of the other.

business therein, iand shall be re
spected and maintained in tho full
and undisturbed enjoyment of their
fersonal liberty and property so
ong as they conduct themselves

mic no offense against the laws.
And in case their acts should ren
