citizens, their vessels, and merchandise;
and that this equality Of favors shall be
made 20 extend to the passengers, cores
pondence, and merchandise Of the United
States, in their transit across the said ter
ritory, from one sea to the other. The
government Of New Granada guarantees to
the government of the United States that
the right of way or transit across the
asthmus o. Panama upon any modes Of COM
munication that now exist, or that may be
hereafter constructed, shall be open and
free to the government and citizens of the
United States, and for the transportation
of any articles of produce, manufactures,
or merchandise, of lawful commerce, be-
longing to the citizens of the United States;
that no other tolls Of charges shall be levi
ed or collected upon the citizens of the
United States, or their said merchandise
thus passing over any road or canal that

upon and collected from the Granadian
citizens; that any lawful produce, manu-
features or merchandise belonging to citi-

ton, for the purpose of expectation to any

paid such duties, they shall be entitled 10
drawback upon their expectation; nor shall
the citizens of the United States be liable
to any duties, tolls, or charges of any kind
to which native citizens are not subjected
for thus passing the said isthmus. And,
in order to secure to themselves the fran
gull and constant enjoyment of these adj
vantages and as an especial compensation
for the said advantages, and for the fayors
they have acquired by the 4th, 9th, and
9th articles fthis treaty, the United States
guaranty positively and eficaciously to
New Granada, by the present, stipulation,
the perfect neutrality of the beforemen-
toned isthmus, with the view that the free
transit from the one to the other sea NAV

OF sovereignty and property which Grana-
da has and possesses over the territory.
