In the Na:ne of the Must Holy and Undivided
Trinity.

The events which have taken place in Spain Ikriv-
big terminated. the, state of hostility which unfortu-
nately subsisted between .the Crowns of Great Britain
,anA§paiit, and united the arms of both against the
,common
,enemy, it seems good that, the, new rela-
lions which have been produced between two na-
diOnS, now connected by common interest, should
.be 'reguldrly established an& confirmed by a formal
Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Alliance : where-
fore, Majesty the King of the. United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and the SupreMe and
Central Junta of Spain and the Indies, thing in the
.name and on the behalf of his, atholic Majeaty Fer-
dinand VII. hive constituted and.apnointed : that is
to say, his *Majesty, the King of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the .Right Honourable
George Canning, one of his Majesty's' most Honour-
able Privy Council, and his Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs; and the Supreme and
Central Junta of Government of Spain and the In-
dies, acting in the name and. on the behalf of his
Catholic Majesty' Ferdinand VII. Dori Juan Ruiz de

Military Order of Calatrava, Rear-Adthiral of the
Royal Navy, hauled by the Supreme and Central
Junta. of Government of Spain and thelndiei, as
Envoy Extranrdinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
'of his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand VII. to his Bri-
tannic Majesty; their Pletiipotentiaties, to conclude
and sign a Treaty of Peace; Friendship, and Alliance;

powers, have agreed to and concluded the following
Articles

ART. J. There shill be between his Majesty) he
King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and his 'Catholic Majesty Ferdinand VII.
King of Spain and of the Indies thereunto apper;
tamping, and bet Ween all their Kingdoms, States,
Dominions, and Subjeas, a Christian, stable and
inviolable Peace; and a perpetual and 'sincere amity,
and a stria alliance daring the war against France;
together with an entire and lasting oblivion of all
acts of hostility dote on either side, in the course of
the late wars in 'which they have been engaged
against each other.

'7ll To obviate all complaints and disputes which
might arise on the subject of prizes, captured pos-
terior to the Declaration published by his Britannic
Majestyon the 4th of July of last year, it has been
mutually agreed, that the vessels and property taken
posterior to the/date of the said Declaration, in any
seas or porta of the world, without any exception and
without any regard either to, time or place, shall be.
restored by both patties. And,- as the accidental
occupation of any of the ports of the Peninstila by
the common , enemy, might occasion disputes re-
speding any vessels, which, in ignorance of such
occupation, might direct their-course to those ports
from any other harbour, eitl;er of the Peninsula or
the colonies ; and as cases may occur in which Spa-
nish inhabitants of the said ports or provinces so oc-
cupied by the enemy,. may, with their propel ty,„ en-
cleasouu to escape iron) his grasp; the high con-
trading Parties have agreed that Spanish vessels, not
aware of the enemy's occupation of any harbour
which, they are desirous to enter, or such as may suc-
ceed in making their escape trout any harbour so oe-'
copied, Nhali not be captured, nor themselves nor
their cargo be considered as a good prize.; but, 'On
the contrary, that they shall meet with :every help
and assistance from the naval power of his Britannic
Majesty, •

III: I3is Britannic Majesty engages to continue
to assist, to the utmost of 'his power, the Spanish.
nation in their struggle against the tyran►►y and
usurpatinn of France, and promises not to acknow-
ledge any other King of Spain and of the Indies
thereunto appertaining, ,than his'eathnlic Majesty
Ferdinant VII. his heirs, or stick lawful successor
as the Spanish nation shall Atigiowledge;' and die
Spanish Government, in the name and on the be-
half of his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand-VIL en-gages
never, in any case, to cede to France, any part of
the territories or. possessions of the Spanish Monar-.
chy, in any part of the world. •
IV. The high cwitratting Parties agree to make
'common cause against France; and not to make
peace with that Power.exCept by common consent.
