Treaty between Spain and Portugal.

BELLIARD.

S the object which his Catholic Majefty had in view, and which he confidered as neceffary for the general good of Europe, when he declared war against Portugal, is obtained, his Majefty has refolved, after conferences had, to restore and renew the bonds of friendship and good underftanding by means of a treaty of peace; and the plenipotentiaries of the three belligerent powers having met together, have agreed to conclude two treaties, which in their effential parts will be but one, as the guarantee will be interchangeable, and will cease with refpect to both when either shall be infringed. To carry into full effect this important object, his Catholic Majefty the King of Spain, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Portugal and Algarve, have granted their full powers, as follows: namely, his Catholic Majefty the King of Spain, to his Excellency Don Manuel de Godoy Alvarez de Faria Rios Sanchez y Zargoza, Prince of Peace, lieutenant of Alcudia, lord of Soto di Roma, and of the diftri&ts of Albala, count of Everamonto, grandee of Spain of the first clafs, perpetual governor of the city of Madrid, and of the towns of Santiago, Cadiz, Malaga, and Ecija, knight of the illuftrious order of the Golden Fleece, Grand Crofs of the diftinguished Spanish order of Charles III. commander of Valencia, del Ventofo, Rivera, &c. Grand Crofs of the order of St. John, counfellor of ftate, chamberlain, generaliffimo, and captain-general of the armies of

Art. I. There fhall be peace, amity, and good understanding between his Catholic Majefty the King of Spain, and the Prince Regent of Portugal and Algarve, as well by fea as land, through the whole extent of their kingdoms and poffeffions; and all captures which fhall be made by fea, after the ratification of the prefent treaty, fhall be faithfully reftored, with all their goods and effects, or their refpective value paid.

II. His Royal Highnefs will fhut the ports of his whole territories against the fhips of Great Britain in general.

III. His Catholic Majefty will restore to his Royal Highness the fortreffes and places Gurumena, Aronches, Portalegri, Caftel Davide, Barbaamar Camp, Major and Ouguela, with all the territories hitherto conquered by his arms, or which may hereafter be conquered, with all their artillery, fire-arms, or other warlike ftores, and in the fame condition in which they were surrendered to him; and his Catholic Majefty will take as a conqueft the fortress of Olivenza, with its territory and inhabitants from the Guadiana, and unite the fame for ever to his own territory and fubjects, as that river above mentioned fhall be the boundary of the refpective kingdoms on that part.

IV. His Royal Highnefs the Prince Regent of Portugal and Algarve will not permit any depôts of prohibited and contraband goods, which may be prejudicial to the interefts of the crown of Spain, to be formed on the frontiers of his kingdom, exclufive of fuch as appertain to the revenues of the crown of Portugal, or are neceffary for the confumption of the refpective territories in which they are established; and if this or any other article fhall not be maintained, the treaty which is now concluded between the three powers, including the interchangeable guarantee, shall be nuli and void, as is expreffed in the articles of the prefent treaty.

V. His Royal Highness will immediately repair and make good all damages or injuries which the fubjects of his Catholic Majesty may have fuftained during the prefent war, from the fhips of Great Britain or the fubjects of the court of Portugal, and for which they can rightfully claim indemnification; and in like manner his Catholic Majefty engages to make fuitable fatisfaction for all captures which may have been made by the Spaniards before

the

the prefent war, in violation of, or within cannon-fhot of the Portuguese territory.

VI. Within the fpace of three months, reckoning from the ratification of the prefent treaty, his Royal Highness will pay to the Treasury of his Catholic Majefty the expenfes left unpaid when they withdrew from the war with France, and which were occafioned by the fame, according to the estimate given in by the amballador of his Catholic Majefty, or which may be given in anew; with the exception, however, of any error that may be found in the faid estimates.

VII. As foon as the prefent treaty fhall be figned, all hostilities fhall ceafe on both fides within twenty-four hours, without any contributions or requifitions being laid after that time on any of the conquered places, except fuch as may be allowed to friendly troops in time of peace; and as foon as this treaty shall be ratified, the Spanish troops fhall leave the Portuguese territory within fix days, and fhall begin their march within fix hours after receiving notice, without offering any violence or injury to the inhabitants in their way; and they thall pay for whatever may be neceffary for them, according to the current price of the country.

XI. The prefent treaty fhall be ratified within ten days after it is figned, or fooner, if postible. In witnefs of this, we, the undersigned minifters plenipotentiary, have fubfcribed the prefent treaty with our own hands, and fealed it with our arms.

In thefe frontier places, the fubjects of the two powers, without going farther into the country, may carry on a wholefale, but not retail trade, and traffic with fuch merchants as arrive there from remote districts.
