It shall likewise be lawful for the citizens aforesaid to sail with the ships and merchandise before mentioned, and to trade with the same liberty and security from the places, ports, and havens, of those who are enemies of both or either party, without any opposition or disturbance whatsoever, not only directly from the places of the enemy, before mentioned, to neutral places, but also, from one place belonging tc an enemy, to another place belonging an enemy, whether they be under the jurisdiction of the one power, or under several. And it is hereby stipulated, that free ships shall also give freedom to goods, and that every thing shall be deemed to be free and exempt, which shall be found on board the ships belonging to the citizens of either of the contracting parties although the whole lading, or any part thereof, should appertain to the enemies ofeither, contraband goods being always excepted. It is also agreed, in like manner, that the same liberty be extended to persons who are on board a free ship, with this effect, that although they be enemies to both or either, they are not to be taken out of that free ship unless they are officers or soldiers, and in the actual service of the enemies: Provided, however, and it is hereby agreed, that the stipulations in this article contained, declaring that the flag shall cover the property, shall be understood as applying to those powers only who recognise the principle; but if either of the two contracting parlies should be at war with a third, and the other neutral, the flag of the neutral shall cover the property of enemies w hoso governments acknowledge this principle,and not of others. ARTICLE XIII. It is likewise agreed, that in the case where the neutral flag of one of tho contracting parties shall protect the property of the enemies of the other, by virtue of the above stipulation, it shall always be understood that the neutral property found on board such enemy's vessels shall be held and considered as enemy's property, and as such shall be liable to detention and confiscation, except such property as was put on board such vessel before the declaration of war, or even afterwards, if it were done without the knowledge of it; but the contracting parties agree, that, four months having
elapsed after the declaration, their citizens shall not plead ignorance thereof. On the contrary, if the flag of the neutral does not protect the enemy's property, in that case, the goods and merchandise of the neutral, embarked in such enemy's ship, shall be free. ARTICLE XIV, This liberty of commerce and navigation shall extend to all kinds of merchandise, excepting those only which are distinguished by the name of contraband, and under this name of contraband or prohibited goods, shall be comprehended 1st. Cannons, mortars, howitzers, swivels, blunderbusses, muskets, fuzees, rifles, carbines, pistols, pikes, swords, sabres, lances, spears, halberds, and grenades, bombs, powder, matches, balls, and all other things belonging to the use of these arms; 2d.

All other merchandise and things not comprehended in tho 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 transported in the freest manner by both the contracting parties, even to places belonging to an enemy, excepting only those places which are at that time be
sieged or blockaded ; and, to avoid all doubt in this ; particular, it is declared that those places only are uu&icgeu or uiocnaueu, wnicn are aciuauy auacKeu j by abilligerant force capable of preventing the en- j try of the neutral. j ARTICLE XVI. The articles of contraband, before enumerated and classified which may be found in a vessel bound for an enemy's port, shall be subject to detention and confiscation, leaving free the rest of the cargo and the ship that the owners may dispose of them as they see proper. No vessel of either of the j two nations shall be detained on the high seas on account of having on board articles of contraband whenever the master, captain, or supercargo of said vessel will deliver up the articles of contraband to the cantor, unless the nuantitv of such articles be so great, and of so line a bulk, that they cannot be received on board the capturing ship without great inconvenience; but in this and all other cases of just detention, the vessel detained shall be sent to the nearest convenient and safe port, for trial and judgment according to law. ARTICLE XVII. And whereas it frequently happens that vessels sail for a port or place belonging to an enemy, without knowing that the same is besieged, blockaded, or invested, it is agreed that every vessel so circumstanced, may be turned away from such port or place, but shall not be detained, nor shall j any part of her cargo, u not contraband, be confiscated, unless, after warning of such blockade or in vestment from any officer commanding a vessel of the blockading forces, she shall again attempt to enter, but she shall be permitted to go to any other port or place she shall think proper. Nor shall any vessel of either, that may have entered into such port before the same was actually besieged, blockaded, or invested by the other, be restrained from quitting such place with her cargo, nor if found therein afier the reduction and surrender, shall sucli vessel or her carnobe liable to confisca j tion, but they shall be restored to the owners thereof; and if any vessel having thus entered the port before the blockade took place, shall take on board a cargo after the blockade bo established, she shall be subject to be warned by the blockading forces, to return to the port blockaded, and discharge the he said cargo; and, if after receiving the said warnin". the vessel shall persist in ooiui? out with ft I J , the cargo she shall bo liable to the same consequences as a vessel attempting to enter a blockaded port, after being warned off by tire blockading forces.

In order to prevent all kinds of disorder in the visiting and examination of the ships and cargoes of both the contracting parties on the high sens, they have agreed, mutually, that whenever a vessel of war, public or private, shall meet with a neutral of the other contracting party, the first shall remain at the greatest distance compatible with making the visit, under tho circumstances of the sea and wind, and the degree of suspicion attending the vessel to be visited, and shall send its smallest boat in order to execute the said examination of the papers concerning the ownership and cargo of the vessel, without causing the least extortion, violence or ill-treatment, for which the commanders of the said armed ships shall be responsible with their persons and property; for which purpose the commanders of the said private armed vessel shall, before receiving their commissions, give sufficient security to answer for all damages they may commit. And it is expressly agreed, that tho neutral party shall, in no case, be required to go on board the examining vessel, for the purpose of exhibiting her papers, or for any other purpose whatever. ARTICLE XIX. To avoid all kind of vexation and abuso in the examination of the papers relating to the ownership of the vessels belonging to the citizens of the two contracting parties, they have agreed, and do agree, that, in caso one of them shall be engaged in war, the ships and vessels belonging to the citizens of the other must be furnished with seal otters or passports, expressing the name, property and bulk of the ship, as also the name and place of habitation of the master or commander of said ves sel, in order that it may thereby appear, that the ship reallyand truly belongs to the citizens of one of the parties; they have likewise agreed that, such ships, being laden, besides the sea-letters or passports, shall also be provided with certificates containing the several particulars of the cargo, and the place whence tho ship sailed, so that it may be known whether any forbidden or contraband goods be on board the same; which certificates shall be made out by the officers of the place whence the ship sailed, in the accustomed form; without which requisites, said vessel may be detained, to be adjudged by the competent tribunal, and may bo clo
clared legal prize, unless the said defect shall be proved to be owing to accident, and bo satisfied or supplied by testimony entirely equivalent. ARTICLE XX. It is further agreed, that the stipulations above expressed, relative to the visiting and examination of vessels, shall apply only totheso which sail without convoy: and when said vessels shall be under
convoy, the verbal declaration of the commander of the convoy, on his word of honor, that tho vessels under his protection belong to the nation whose dig he carries; and when they aro bound to an enemy's port, that they have no contraband goods on board, shall be sufficient. ARTICLE XXI. It is further agreed that, in all cases the established courts for prize causes, in the country to which the prises may be conducted, shall alonc'takc cognizance of them. And whenever such tribunal of u.uiui pauy uian pronounce juugmeui agimsi any vessel or goods, or property claimed by the citizens i of the other party, the sentence or decree shall mention the reasons or motives on which the same fchall have been founded, and an authenticated copy of! te sentence or decree and of all the proceedings in the case, shall, ifdemanded, ba delivered to the commandant or agent of said vessel, without any delay, he paying tho legal fbes for the same. ARTICLE XXII.

The citizens of all other occupations who may bo established in the tcrrito-i rics or dominions of the United States of America, and of tho republic of Chile, shall be respected and maintained in the full enjoyment of their personal liberty and property, 'unless their particular conduct shall cause them to forfeit this protection, which, in consideration of humanity, tho contracting parties engage to give them. : ARTICLE XXIV. Neither the debts due from the individuals of the one nation, to the individuals of the other, nor shares, nor money which they may have in public funds, nor in public or 'private banks, shall ever, in any event of w ar, or of national difference be sequestrated or confiscated.
