GERM AN PAPERS.

VIENNA. Aram 11.

The last Numbers of the Noma Gazette give the
Treaty of Navigation and Commerce between their
Majesties the Emperors of Austria and Brazil, signed at
Vienna on the 16th of June, 1827, by the respective
Pleoipotentiaries, Prince Metternich and the Marquis
de Rezende, the ratifications of which have lately been
exchanged. The basis of the Treaty is a perfect re-
ciprocity between the two empires, the subjects of which
shall be allowed to trade in all the ports which are open,
or may be open in future to any foreign nation. Articles
under the description of contraband of war are excepted,
as well as the coasting trade from port to port. The
sth Articles runs thus: lu order to determine the na-
tionality of Austrian and Brazilian ships,it is agreed those
ships shall be considered as Austrian which are the pro-
perty of Austrian subjects, and built,registered, and navi-
gated according to the laws and ordinances of Austria ;
and that those which are built in Brazil, and t the pro-
perty of Brazilian subjects, and of which the Captain
and three-fourths of the crew are Brazilian subjects,
shall be considered as Brazilians. His Majesty the
Emperor of Austria, with a view to facilitate the nazi-
gation of Brazil, consents to wave for the present this
last stipulation; the proprietor and the Captain, how-
ever, must be Brazilians. and the ships have all their
papers in the legal form."
By Art. Vl.--‘6 All go‘uls, met chandise, and articles
whatsoever, of the produce and manufacture of the sub-
jects and territories of his Maiesty the Emperor of
Austria, and consigned from the ports of Austria for
consumption, may be imported into all and every of
the ports of the empire of Brazil (to whomsoever con-
signed) without being liable to different or higher duties
than those now paid, or which shall be paid in future,
on the same merchandise, articles, &c. by subjects of
the most favoured nations, conformably to the general
tariff of customs, which will be promulgated for this
purpose in all ports of Brazil in which there are, or
-hail be, custom-houses. When the most favoured na-
tion is spoken of, Portugal is not to be uaderstood,
though it should obtain commercial advantages in
Bra ail."

Art. Vll.—When articles of the produce or manufac.
cure of Austria imported into Brazil for consumption,
have no fixed value in the tariff, the importer may give
a declaration of their value; but if the Custom-house
officers judge the value to be too incorrect, they may
take the goods so undervalued, paying to the vender,
in fifteen days, ten per cent. above the estimate, and to
reimburse the duties already paid. Article VIII. stipu-
lates the same facilities for the produce and manufac-
tures of Brazil, imported directly for consumption, in
the posts of Austria.

Art. IX.—The produce and. manufactures of each
Empire, imported into the territories of the other, must
have certificates of origin, in the form established in
the recpective States.
_

Art. X.—All Austrian produce and manufactures,
clnsigned to the ports of Brazil for entrepot, or re-
exportation, shall pay no higher duties than those now

Articles XV. and XVl.—The Treaty to continue in
force for six years, from the date of the exchange of the
ratifications, which is to take place in nine months from
the passing of the Treaty (16th June, 1827), or sooner
if practicable.—Algenreine Zeilung, April 16.
There is a difference between the French and German teat of
the Treaties as given in the Austrian Papers: the French has" er
the property ;" the German " and the property."
