]. British vessels arriving within the
ports of the United States, are to paw no
higher or other duties or chsrges than
those payable by vessels of the United
States. Articles Of the growth, produce
or manufacture of the European terrific
Ties OF his Britannia Majesty, imported in
British vessels, are TO be admitted to en-
try, upon the payment of the same duties
as the existing laws impose upon similar
articles, imported III vessels of the United
States. The equalization is also to be
extended to all hort charges, including
an exoncration from the charges of Hehf
money.
2. The equalization of the duties and
charges takes effect at the date Of the ra
LITIGATION Of the convention, which was on
the 22d OF December. 1875. If therefore,
you nave in any ms ance, on or after that
day, exacted the alien duties or charges
upon the entry Of British vessels, or of ar
tlcles the growth produce or manufacture
oi his Britannia maj sty's territories in Eu-
rope, imported in Br tIsh vessels, Won will
be pleased to refund to the proper party,
the difference betwt en- the alien AMI the
domestic duties and charges.
9. 1t is proper, however, to add nega
lively, that the equal cation of duties and
charges does not extend to British YES
sells and their cargoes, arriving in the
ports of the United States from his Bri-
fannie M.jesty's possessions il the West
Indies, and on the continent of North A.
merica, nor to articles imported in Bri-
tish vessels, unless such articles are OF the
growth, produce or manufacture of his
Britannia Majesty's territories in Europe.
