Definitive Treaty of Peace, between the French Republic, the King of Spain, and the Batavian Republic, on the one part, and his majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the other.
THE First Consul of the French Republic in the name of the French Nation, & his Majesty the King of the United Kingdom, &c. equally animated by a desire to put a stop to the calamities of war, have laid the foundations of peace, by the preliminary articles signed at London, the 1st of October 1801; and as by the 15th article of the said preliminary articles, it has been agreed, "That there shall be nominated on the one part and the other, Plenipotentiaries, who shall resort to Amiens, to draw up the definitive treaty, in concert with the allies of the contracting parties;" the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French nation, has appointed citizen Joseph Buonaparte, counsellor of state; and his Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Marquis Cornwallis, Knight of the most illustrious order of the Garter, &c.; his Majesty the King of Spain, and the government of the Batavian Republic, have appointed for their Plenipotentiaries, Don Joseph Nicholas D'Azarra, &c. and Roger John Schimmelpennick, &c. who after having exchanged in due form, their powers which are hereafter stated, have agreed to the following articles:
Art. I. There shall be peace, amity and good understanding between the French Republic, the King of Spain, his heirs and successors, and the Batavian Republic, on the one part; and his Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, his heirs and successors on the other part.
The contracting parties shall endeavor to maintain a perfect harmony between them and their states, without suffering, on either side, any sort of hostility by land or sea, under any pretence whatever; they shall carefully avoid every thing which may in future, disturb the union so happily established, and shall afford neither aid nor protection, directly or indirectly, to those who would prejudice either of them.
Art. II. All the prisoners made on either side, by land or by sea, and the hostages taken or given during the war, and to the present time, shall be restored without ransom, in six weeks at farthest, to reckon from the day of the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty, after paying the debts contracted during the captivity. Each contracting party shall (liquidate) pay respectively, the advances made by either of the contracting parties for the subsistence and maintenance of prisoners in the country where they shall have been detained. There shall be appointed a special commission to establish and regulate the compensation due either party. The time and place of meeting of the commissioners, charged with the execution of this article shall be fixed in concert; they shall state an account, not only of the expenses for the prisoners, but also for the foreign troops, which, before being taken, were in the pay of any one of the parties.
Art. III. His Britannic majesty restores to the French republic and its allies, the King of Spain, and the Batavian republic, all the possessions and colonies which belonged to them respectively and which have been occupied or conquered by the British forces in the course of the present war, with the exception of the Isle of Trinidad and the Dutch possessions in the Isle of Ceylon.
Art. IV. His Catholic majesty cedes and guarantees in full possession and sovereignty to his Britannic majesty the island of Trinidad.
Art. V. The Batavian republic cedes and guarantees in full possession and sovereignty to his Britannic majesty, all the possessions and establishments in the island of Ceylon, which belonged before the war to the republic of the United Provinces, or to its East India Company.
Art. VI. The port of the Cape of Good Hope is restored in full sovereignty as before the war, to the Batavian republic.
The vessels of every description, belonging to the other contracting parties, shall have the privilege of refitting and purchasing the necessary provisions as formerly, without paying any other duties than the Dutch are subject to.
Art. VII. The territories and possessions of her most Faithful majesty are to remain entire as they were before the war; but the limits of French and Portuguese Guyanna are fixed at the river Arawary, which empties into the ocean above the North Cape, near New Isle, and the Isle of Penitence, in about a degree and a third of north latitude. These limits shall follow the course of the river Arawary from its mouth, the farthest from the Cape, to its source—thence in a straight line drawn from this source to 'Rio Branco' towards the west. Therefore the northern bank of the river Arawary, from its mouth to the source, and the territory north of the above limits shall belong in full possession to the French republic: The southern bank of the said river, from the mouth and all the territory south of the said limits, shall belong to her most faithful majesty. The navigation of the river Arawary, in its whole course, shall be common to the two nations.
The arrangements which have taken place between the courts of Madrid & of Lisbon, for the establishment of their frontiers in Europe shall be made according to the stipulations of the treaty of Badajoz.
Art. VIII. The territories, possessions, and rights of the Sublime Porte shall be maintained entire, as they were before the war.
Art. IX. The republic of the Seven Isles is acknowledged.
Art. X. The islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino, shall be restored to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, to be held by it under the same conditions as before the war, and under the following regulations:
1st. The knights of the order, whose ("languages") languages continue to exist after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty, are invited to return to Malta as soon as the exchange takes place; they will there form a general Chapter, and proceed to elect a grand master, selected from among the natives of the nations who preserve (des langues) the language, unless they shall have already made choice since the ratification of the preliminaries. It is understood that an election made since that epoch shall alone be considered as valid, to the exclusion of every other which may have taken place prior to that epoch.
2d. The government of the French republic and Great Britain, wishing to place the order and island of Malta in a state of entire independence in respect to them, agree that henceforward neither the French nor the English language shall be suffered there, and that no individual of either of these powers can be admitted into the order.
3d. There shall be established a Maltese language, which shall be maintained by the territorial revenues, and the commercial duties of the island. This language shall be entitled to the dignities proper to it, to benefits ("traitmen") and to a College ("au berge") Proofs of nobility shall not be required for the admission of the knights of the said language; they shall be admissible to all the offices, and shall enjoy all the privileges with the knights of other orders. The municipal, administrative, civil, judicial, and other offices dependant on the government of the island, shall be occupied, one half at least, by the inhabitants of Malta, Gozo and Comino.
4th. The forces of his Britannic majesty shall evacuate the island and its dependencies in three months after the exchange of the ratifications, or sooner if possible, when it shall be restored to the order in the state in which it is found, provided that the grand master or commissaries fully authorised according to the statutes of the Order, be in the said island to take possession thereof, and the troops which are to be furnished by his Sicilian majesty, as hereafter stipulated, be arrived.
5th. Half of the garrison, at least, shall be composed of native Maltese: The remainder the Order shall have the power of raising among the natives of those nations who continue to possess the language. The Maltese troops shall have Maltese officers. The command in chief of the garrison, as well as the nomination of officers, shall belong to the Grand Master, and he cannot dispense with it even temporarily, but in favor of a Knight, according to the advice of the council of the Order.
6th. The independence of the islands of Malta, of Gozo, and of Comino, as well the present establishment, is placed under the protection and guarantee of France, G. Britain, Austria, Spain, Russia, and Prussia.
7th. The Order and Island of Malta, with its dependencies, are declared neutral.
8th. The ports of Malta, shall be open to commerce and navigation of all nations who will pay their equal and regular duties; these duties shall be applied to the maintenance of the Maltese language, as specified in the 3d. sec. and of the civil and military establishment of the Island, and also of a general Lazaretto open to all nations.
9th. The Barbary powers are excepted from the two preceding stipulations, until the contracting parties shall procure a cessation of hostilities which subsist between the said Barbary states, the order of St. John, and those powers that possess the language or a component part of it.
10th. The order shall be governed, as well in its spiritual or temporal capacity, by the same laws which were in force when the Knights quitted the island, as far as they are not deprived of them by the present treaty.
11th. The regulations contained in sections 3d, 5th, 8th, and 10th. shall become laws and perpetual statutes of the Order in the usual form, and the Grand Master, or if he should not be in the island, when it shall be restored to the Order, his representative, as well as his successors, shall make oath punctually to observe them.
12. His Sicilian Majesty shall be requested to furnish 2000 men, natives of his dominions, to reserve as a garrison in the different fortresses of the said islands. This force shall remain there a year from the restitution to the Knights; and if, at the expiration thereof, the Order shall not have levied a sufficient force in the judgment of the guarantee powers, to serve as a garrison to the island and its dependencies, as specified in sec. 5th, the Neapolitan troops shall remain there until it be replaced by another sufficient force.
13th. The different powers designated in sec. 6th, to wit: France, Great Britain, Austria, Spain, Russia, and Prussia, are invited to accede to the present stipulations.
Art. XI. The French troops shall evacuate the kingdom of Naples and the Roman state; the English forces shall likewise evacuate Porto Ferrajo, and generally, all the ports and islands which they have occupied in the Mediterranean or the Adriatic sea.
Art. XII. The evacuations, cessions and restitutions stipulated by the present treaty, shall go on in operation, as they regard Europe, in the course of a month, the seas of America and Asia in three months; the continent and seas of Asia in six months following the ratification of the present definitive treaty, except in those cases especially provided to the contrary.
Art. XIII. In all cases of restitution, granted by the present treaty, the fortifications shall be restored in the conditions in which they were found at the moment of signing the preliminaries, and all the works constructed since their being occupied, shall remain untouched.
It is moreover agreed, that in every case of cession stipulated, there shall be allowed to the inhabitants, of whatever condition or nation, a term of three years, from the ratification of the present treaty, to dispose of their property acquired and possessed whether before or during the present war; during which period of three years, they may enjoy freely their religion and their property. The same is granted in the countries restored, to all those whether inhabitants or not, who shall have made any establishments during the period when those countries were possessed by Great Britain.
As to the inhabitants of places ceded or restored, it is agreed, that no one shall be persecuted, or disturbed in his person or property, under any pretext, on account of his political conduct or opinion, or of his attachment to either of the contracting parties, or for any other cause except debts contracted with individuals, or for acts posterior to the present treaty.
XIV. All sequestration on the one part or the other, laid upon funds or revenues, of whatever they may be, belonging to one of the contracting powers, or to its citizens or subjects, shall be taken off immediately after the signature of this definitive treaty.
The decision of all claims between the individuals of the respective nations, for debts, property, effects or whatever rights, which conformably to the established usages and to the rights of nations, should be exhibited at the moment of peace, shall be laid before the competent tribunals, and prompt and full justice shall be rendered in these cases in the dominions where the claims shall be made.
XV. The fisheries upon the coasts of Newfoundland, and the adjacent isles, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, are placed on the same footing as before the war.
The French fishermen of Newfoundland, and the inhabitants of the Island of St. Peter and Miquelon, shall be allowed to cut the wood necessary for them in the Bay of Fortune, and of St. Pierre, during the first year, from the ratification of the present treaty.
XVI. To prevent all subjects of complaint and contest which may arise from captures which may be made at sea after the signing of the preliminary articles, it is mutually agreed that the vessels and effects which have been taken in the Channel, and in the North Seas, after twelve days exchange of the ratifications of the preliminaries, shall be restored on both sides; and the term shall be a month from the Channel and the North Seas to the Canary Isles, inclusively, whether in the Ocean or the Mediterranean, two months from the Ocean or the Mediterranean, two months from the Canary Isles to the Equator; and five months in all parts of the globe without any farther exception or distinction of time or place.
XVII. The ambassadors, ministers and other agents of the contracting powers, shall respectively enjoy in the states of the said powers, the same rank, privileges, prerogatives and immunities, which agents of the same class enjoyed before the war.
XVIII. The branch of the house of Nassau, which was established in the ci devant republic of the United Provinces, now the Batavian republic, having sustained losses as well in private property as by the change of the constitution adopted in that country, there shall be procured compensation equivalent to the said losses.
XIX. The present definitive treaty of peace is declared common to the sublime Ottoman Porte, ally of his Britannic majesty; and the sublime Porte shall be requested to transmit its accession thereto, as soon as possible.
XX. It is agreed, that the contracting parties upon the demand by them respectively made, or by their ministers and officers, duly authorised to this effect, shall be held to deliver up to justice, persons accused of the crimes of murder, of forgery,
or of fraudulent bankruptcy, committed within the jurisdiction of the party making the demand, provided that it shall not be done unless the evidence of the crime shall be so well established, that the laws of the place where the accused person shall be discovered, would authorise his detention and transmission to justice in case the crime had been there committed. The expense of apprehending and transmitting the person to justice, shall be defrayed by those who make the demand. It is understood, that this article does not regard in any way, the crimes of murder, forgery or fraudulent bankruptcy, committed prior to the conclusion of this definitive treaty.
XXI. The contracting parties promise to observe with sincerity and good faith, all the present treaty, and they will not suffer their respective citizens or subjects, to act in contravention of the same, directly or indirectly, and the said contracting parties guarantee to each other generally and reciprocally all the stipulations of the present treaty.
XXII. The present treaty shall be ratified by the contracting parties within the space of 30 days, or sooner if possible, and the ratification in due form shall be exchanged at Paris.
IN FAITH OF WHICH, We the undersigned Plenipotentiaries, have signed with our hands, and by virtue of our full powers respectively, the present definitive treaty, and annexed our respective seals.

Extract of a letter from Chester town, Maryland, April 28, 1802.
"An instance of voluntary abstinence has lately taken place, perhaps unparalleled. An insane person named Horatio Seney, of Church Hill, in Queen Anne's county, Maryland, a few days ago completed a Past of forty-five days! being determined (as he frequently said) to Out-Past our blessed Saviour. "
"During the whole period, he suffered nothing to pass his lips but pure water:—No persuasion whatever could prevail on him to mix milk with it. Meat, bread, &c. were repeatedly put in his way, that he might take it by stealth—it remained untouched."
"On the morning of the forty-fifth day he broke his fast by eating one perch and two mouthfuls of homony—observing, that as his last meal was fish, his first should be the same. After this, in going to the door, he fell down—was taken up and put to bed; the next day he took half a cup of coffee, and one small biscuit, which was the last food he partook of. A short time after this perhaps one hour, he expired."
"During this wonderful fast, he rode about as usual; exhibiting a most horrid spectacle—his bones nearly through his skin, his lips shrunk so as to discover his teeth and gums complete. He was perfectly harmless, never having injured any one; he was therefore suffered to go at large. He was also remarkable for a retentive memory."

For the information of those who wish to make INSURANCE.
APPLICATION for insurance must be accompanied with a certificate, specifying the length and width of the vessel or boat, the cable, stern-post, number of oars, pump and canoe or skiff, the number of hands, &c. which ought to be given by persons who are judges, and who are disinterested reputable men.
A bill of lading signed by the captain, or a manifest signed by the inspector, which shall specify the whole of the cargo on board, or to be put on board—it must also state where the boat or vessel lies—where she will take in her cargo—when she will take her departure; or if she has failed, the time when, and the port to which she is bound; and if any information has been received from her since she failed, it must be communicated. The insurance does not commence until the vessel is under way, on her intended voyage and the premium paid.
In all cases of loss, if practicable, a survey must be made by disinterested men, who are to state in writing, what in their opinion is necessary to be done, for the interest of the parties concerned; as also a protest to be entered by the captain on oath, in which the hands must join, stating particularly the loss, where and how it happened, and what cargo was then on board.
In case a boat or vessel be lost, it is the duty of the captain and hands, to use all possible means to recover the whole or as much as possible, of the cargo, for which labor and expence, the insurers will pay their proportionable part.
No boat which is insured, must attempt to pass the Falls of the Ohio, without taking a pilot on board.
Any shipper, who intends to tarry at any port or place on the voyage, for the benefit of trading, or other purposes, must have an article to that effect, inserted in the policy of insurance.

TAKE NOTICE
THAT I gave a bond to Robert Sanders, Scott county, in February, 1799, for the sum of two hundred pounds; which bond was discharged in a short time after, when I have sufficient offsets to shew where I paid it, with a number of gentlemen, which I expect can shew said Sanders's receipt. Therefore I forewarn all persons from dealing for it, or taking any assignment on it, as I am determined never to discharge it again.
