case of survival : that his Majesty, having examined
and approved of the propositions, had sanctioned

ticle, by excepting from the places at which the re-
vered authors of his being shall fix their residence,

lished. It contains eight articles, by which his

francs; which is to be acknowledged by his son,

ready due to him, and the deht to be defrayed within
three years. The Queen Mother, in case of sur-
vivorstop, to have eight millions of reels per annum.
The Infant Francisco, brother of Ferdinand, to en-
joy the same stipend as has alwa}s hoen allowed to
pet boos of his rank. His Majesty Charles IV. sti-
pulates that lie shall fii his abode in any place or
country he may think proper, which is the point of
•ac4ption mentioned in the Note. Himself and the,
Queen to be treated, during their lives, with all the
respect due to their rank, and to continue in the en-
3nyment of (heir Royal titles. His Majesty Charles
