It is understood that refined sugar is not comprised in
this list, because the duty of 41 francs per 100 kilogrammes,
fixed on the importation of that article, includes the duty
on consumption with which it is now charged in France.
It is equally agreed between the high contracting powers
that, in the event of the modification or the suppression of
the duties of excise now imposed upon French manufac-
turers, goods of British origin and manufacture shall, with
regard to such duties of excise, be subjected to the same
conditions as similar French goods. If, however, in conse-
quence of the suppression of any of such duties, the govern-
meut should establish a supervision or control, or an admi-
nistrative system over certain articles of French manu-
facture, the direct or indirect charges which may be borne
by the French manufacturer shall be countervailed by an
equivalent surtax imposed upon similar British articles.
It is further understood that if drawbacks are granted to
other articles of French manufacture, the duties of customs
which are imposed upon similar articles of British origin or
manufacture shall be augmented by a surtax equal to the
amount of the drawbacks.

Art. 4. With regard to pure and mixed tissues taxed ad
valorem, the valuation of which may appear to the French
Government to present difficulties, they reserve to them-
selves the power to designate the 'Custom-house of Paris
exclusively for the admission of such goods.
Art. 5.. Each of the high contracting powers engages to
extend to the other any favour, any pi ivilege or diminu-
tion of tariff, which either of them may grant to a third
power in regard to the importation of goods mentioned,
r not mentioned, in the treaty of the 23d of January,
1860.

Art. 6. The tariff annexed to the prevent convention

duration as the treaty concluded between the high con-
tracting parties on the 23d of January last, of which it is a
complement.
Art. 8. The present convention shall be ratified, and the
ratifications shall be exchanged at Paris within fifteen days,
or sooner, if possible. In witness whereof the respective
