(L.S.)

(Signatures and seals of thefive'Siamese
Plenipotentiaries.)

Agreement entered into between Harry Smith Parkes,
Esq , on the part of her Britannic Majesty's Govern•
rout, and the undermentioned It)yal Commissioners,
on the part of their Majesties the First and Secor:d

Kings of Siam.
Mr. Parkas having stated, on his arrival at Bangkok,
as bearer of her Britannic Majesty's ratification of the
treaty of friendship and commerce, concluded on the
18th day of Apri! 1855, between her Majesty the, Queen
of the Kingdom of Great Bi•itain and Iretane,
and their i'dojestie-, P.ira Bird Sointleteh Pura Para-
aiendr Maba I‘lerigkut Phra Chum Klan Chau Yu Hus,
the First King, of Siam, and Phra Lard Soredeich
Phra Pawareedr Ramesr Mahisvraresr Phra Pin
Klan Chau Yu Hua, the Second Kieg of Siam, that Le
was instructed by the Earl of Clarendon, her Britannic
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, to request the Siamese Government to consent
to an enumeration of those articles of the former treaty,
concluded in 1825, between the Hon. East India Conk
pant and their late Majesties the First and Second Kings
of Siam, which are aurogated by the treaty first named,
and also to agree to certain explanations which appear
necessary to mark the precise fore and application of
certain portions of the new ,treaty ;, their aforesaid Ma•
jesties, the First and Second Kings of Siam, have ap-
pointed and empowered certain Royal Commissioners,
namely, his Royal Highness Kroin Hluaug Wong-sa
Dhiraj Snia, and their Excellencies the four Sena
puthies or Principal Ministers of Siam, to confer and
arrange with Mr. Parkes the matters above named ; and
the Paid Royal Commissioners having accordingly met
Mr. Parkesjor this purpose on repeated occasions, and
maturely considered all the subjects brought by him to
their notice, have resolved :
That it is proper, in order to prevent . future contro..
versy, that those clauses- of the old treaty which are
abrogated by the new treaty should be distinctly speci-
fied, and that any clause of the new treaty which is not
sufficiently clear should be fully explained. To this end
they have agreed to and concluded the following twelve
articles :

The Vth Article of the treaty provides that passports
shall be granted to travellers, and the Vth Article of the
Regulations thEet port clearances shall be furnished to
ships ; In reference thereto, the said royal commissioners,
at the request of Mr. Parkes, agree that the passports
to be given to British subjects travelling beyond the
limits assigned by the treaty for the residence of British
subjects, together with the passes for cargo-boats and
the port clearances of British ships shall be issued within
24 hours after formal application for the same shall have
been made to the proper Siamese authorities; but if
reasrna.ble cause should at any time exist for delaying or
withholding the issue of any of these papers, the Siamese
authorities must at once communicate it to the Consul.
Passports for British subjects travelling in tbe interior,
and the port clearances of rritish ships, will be granted
by the Siamese authorities free of charge.
ETICLE

Oa the prohibition of the exportation of rice, salt, and
fish, and or the duty on paddy.

The VIIIth article of the treaty stipulates, that,
"whenever a scarcity may be apprehended of salt, rice,
and ti 13, the Siamese Government reserve to themselves
the right of probibitin by pubic proclamation the ex-
portation of these articles."
Mr. Parkes, in elucidation of this clause, desires an
agreement to this etteet, namely, that a months notice
shall be given by the Siamese authorities to the Consul,
prior to the enforcement of the prohibition, and that
British subjects who may preciously obtain special per-
missiin from the Siamese authorities to export a certain
quantity of rice witiels they have already purchased,
may do so even after the prohibition comes in force.
Mr. Parkes also requests Coat the export duty on paddy
should be half of that on rice, namely, 2 ticals per koyan.
The said Royal Commissioners having in view the fact
that rice forms the principal sustenance of the nation,
stipulate, that on the breaking out of war or rebellion,
the Siamese may prohibit the trade in rice, and may
enforce the prohibition so long as the hostilities thus
occasioned shall continue. If a dearth should bo appre-
hended on account of the want or excess of rain, the
Consul will be informed one month previous to the en-
forcement of the prohibition. British merchants who
obtain the royal permission upon the issue of the pro-
clamation to export a certain quantity of rice which they
have already purchased, may do so, irrespective of the
prohibition to the contrary ; but those merchants who
do not obtain the royal permission will not be allowed,
when the prohibition takes effect, to export thence they
may already have purchased. The prohibition shall be
removed as soon as the cause of its being imposed shall
have ceased to exist.

Paddy may be exported on payment of a duty of 2 a.
cafe per koyan, or half the amount levied on rice.

ARTICLE VII.
On permission to import Gold Leaf as Bullion.
Under the eighth article of the treaty, bullion may be
imported or exported free of charge. With reference to
this clause, the said royal commissioners, at the request
of IVIr. Parkes, agree that foreign coins of every denomi-
nation, gold and silver in bars or ingots, and gold-leaf,
may be imported free ; but manufactured articles in
gold and silver, plated ware, and diamonds or other
precious stones, must pay an import duty of three per
cent.

ARTICLE VIII.
On the establishment of a Custom House.
The said royal commissioners at the request of Mr.
Parkes, and in conformity with the intent of the eighth
article of the new treaty, agree to the immediate estab-
lishment of a custom house, under the superintendence
of a high government functionary, for the examination
of all goods landed or shipped, and the receipt of the im-
port and export duties due thereon. They further
agree that the business of the custom house shall be con-
ducted under the regulations annexed to this agreement.
ARTICLE IX.
On the subsequent Taxation of Articles now free
from Duty.

Mr. Parkes agrees with the said royal commissioner°
that whenever the Siamese Government deem it to be
beneficial for the country to impose a single tax or duty
on any article not now subject to a public charge of any
kind, they are at liberty to do so, provided that the said
tax be just and reasonable.

ALTICLE X.
On the BoUndaries of the Four Mile Circuit.

lft is ;ti:nulated in the IVth Article of the treaty that
"British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent
land and buy or build houses, but cannot purchase lands
within a circuit of 200 sen, (not more than four English
miles) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in
Siam for ten years, or shall ob'.ain special authority from
the Siamese Government to enable them to do so."

The points to which this circuit extends, due north,
south, east, and west of the city, and the pot where it
crosses the river below Bangkok, have accordingly been
measured by officers on the part of the Siamese and
English ; and their measurements, having been examined
and agreed to by the said Royal Commissioners and Mr:
Parkes, are marked by stone pillars placed at the under-
mentioned localities, viz.:—

On the North.
One sen north of Wat Kemabhirataram.
On the East.

Six sen and seven fathoms south-west of Wat Bang-
kapi.

On the South.

About nineteen sen south of the village of Bankpakeo.

On the West.

About two sem south- west of the village of Baugphrom.
The pillars marking the spot where the circuit line
cross the river below Bangkok are placed on the left
bank three sen below the village of Li'mgmarau. and on
the right bank about ene sen below the village of Bang-
lampuluen.

ARTICLE XI.
On the Boundaries of the Twenty-four hours' Journey.
It is stipulated in the 4th article of the treaty, that
" excepting within the circuit cf four miles, British
merchants in Siam may at any time buy or rent houses,
landii, or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance
of 24 hours' journey from the city of Bangkok, to be
computed by the rate at which boats of the country can
travel." _ _ _ _ _

The said Royal Commissioners and Mr. Parkes have
consulted together on this subject, and have agreed that
the boundaries of the said 24 hours' journey shall be as
fellows :
