SIGNED AT ATHENS 20TH FEBRUARY (4TH MARCH)„IB3S ;
RATIFICATIONS EXCHANGED AT VIENNA, 28T1I AUG.

(9TH SEPT.), 1835.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, &c., and his Ma-
jesty the King of Greece, mutually animated by the de-
sire to continue the friendly relations happily existing be-
tween them, and to extend and confirm the commercial re-
cial relations between. their. States, and persuaded that
nothing will so much contribute to the accomplishment of
their mutual wishes in this respect, as the establishment of
freedom of trade and navigation, based on the principle of a
just reciprocity, have named for Plenipotentiaries to conclude
a treaty to this effect, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria,
the Chevalier Prokesch d'Oden, &c., his Majesty's Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary to the Court of his Hellenic Majesty ;
and his Majesty the King of Greece the Sieur Rizo
Neroulos, Secretary of State for the Household and for
Foreign Affairs, who, having exchanged their respective
powers, and found to be in due form, have stipulated the
following articles :
I. There shall be reciprocal freedom of trade and navi-
gation between the subjects of Austria and Greece.
11. In consequence, the subjects of the high contracting
parties shall enjoy in all the seaports of their dominions an
equal freedom of trade, in manner that there shall be ac-
corded to them in the said ports by the respective Govern-
ments a perfect equality and reciprocity of commercial rights
and advantages, and in so far as these rights and advantages
arc subject to whatsoever species of service (redevances),
they will be treated absolutely on the same footing as the
natives in respect to the public imposts.
111. Articles of warlike stores and of coasting trade,
consisting of native or foreign produce,from one port to ano-
ther, of the State are excepted ; the said trade being only
permitted in national bottoms ; nevertheless the subjects of
the high contracting Powers are at liberty to embark their
goods and merchandizes in the same bottoms, both paying
the same duties.*

IV. The vessels of the subjects of each of the high-con-
tracting Powers, will only pay in the ports of the other the
sames dues of pilotage, &c.. to which national vessels are or
shall be subjected.
V. Such vessels shall be considered Austrian or Greek,
as are held and navigated agreeably to the laws in force in
the respective countries.
VI. All raw and manufactured produce of the territo-
ries subject to the high contracting parties, the importation
or exportation of which in or from the respective ports is
legally permitted to native vessels, may be equally im-
ported or exported in the ♦essels belonging to the subjects
of the high contracting parties, without being subjected
to any higher duties whatever than those which are or
may be imposed on such produce imported or exported in
native bottoms.

VII. All articles which not being the raw or manufac-
tured produce of the States of his Majesty the King of
Greece can be legally imported into the Austrian ports shall
only be subjected in Greek vessels to the same duties which
arc paid in the same articles imported in Austrian vessels ;
and a strict reciprocity shall be observed in Greek ports for
Austrian vessels, in respect to articles not the produce of
the states of 11. I. R. Majesty, which can be legally im-
ported into Greek ports.
VIII. The raw and manufactured produce_ of the States
of each of the high contracting powers, the importation of
which is legally permitted in the States of the other, shall
not be subjected to any higher duty or payment whatso-
ever, than those to which are or may be subject the produce
of a similar kind of another country ; excepting in case
that in the States of one of the said Powers, the duties on
the raw or manufactured produce of another country
should be diminished in virtue of a formal treaty, on The
assurance of peculiar commercial advantages, or to a re-
lative diminution of duty ; in such case, the other Govern-
ment cannot demand the same diminution of duty without
offering the same advantages, and will not enjoy it, except
from the moment it will-have assured them ;
,and it cannot
offer them to the same extent and consideration, only after
having given an equivalent. ; but in all cases the two Go-
vernments must conclude a special agreement to this effect.
IX. In all that relates to the police of ports, to the
loading or unloading of ships, to the safety of merchandise,
objects of trade, goods and effects whatever, the subjects of
the high contracting parties shall be mutually subject to
the laws and regulations of the, local police. On the other
hand, they will enjoy in their persons and goods, in all the
extent of the respective territories, the same rights, privi-
leges, favours, and exceptions which are, or may be, ac-
corded to natives. They may dispose freely of their pro-
perty by sale, exchange, donation, will, or any other man-
ner, without hindrance or obstacles, conforming, neverthe-
ess, to the laws and regulations of their respective country.
They can transfer, as they like, their fortunes from one of
the two States to the other, without being subject, in re-
spect of such transfer, to any impost (taille) or extraordi-
nary tax whatsoever. . _

X. There shall not be given, either directly or indirectly,
neither by one of the two Governments, nor by any agent,
Company, or Corporation, acting in its name, or under its
authority, any preference for the purchase or sale of the raw
or manufactured produce of the possessions of the two high
contracting parties, and imported in the territory of the
other, on account, or in consideration•of the nationality of
the vessel : the intention of the high contracting parties
