To the General Convention of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation, concluded at Washington on the twenty-sixth day of April, 1826, between the United States of America and His Majesty the King of Denmark.
The United States of America and His Majesty the King of Denmark, wishing to favor their mutual commerce by affording, in their ports, every necessary assistance to their respective vessels, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries, being duly empowered for that purpose, have agreed upon the following additional articles to the General Convention of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation, concluded at Washington on the twenty-sixth day of April, 1826, between the contracting parties.
The respective Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls and Commercial Agents, shall have the right
Not to prevent resort to the judicial authority.
Consuls-General, consuls, &c., may require the assistance of the local authorities to arrest deserters, &c. Mode of procedure. Deserters when arrested how to be disposed of.
However, if the deserter should be found to have committed any crime or offence, his surrender may be delayed until the tribunal before which his case shall be depending shall have pronounced its sentence, and such sentence shall have been carried into effect.
The present additional articles shall have the same force and value as if they were inserted, word for word, in the convention signed at Washington on the twenty-sixth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, and being approved and ratified by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, and by His Majesty the King of Denmark, the ratifications shall be exchanged at Washington within six months from the date hereof, or sooner, if possible.
In faith whereof, we, the undersigned, in virtue of our respective full powers, have signed the present additional articles, and have thereto affixed our seals.
Done in triplicate at the city of Washington, on the eleventh day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.
Additional articles.
A la Convention Générale d’Amitié, de Commerce et de Navigation conclue à Washington le vingt-six Avril mil huit cent vingt-six entre Sa Majesté le Roi de Danemark et les Etats-Unis d’Amérique.
Sa Majesté le Roi de Danemark et les Etats-Unis d’Amérique désireux de favoriser leur commerce réciproque, en accordant dans leurs ports toute aide et assistance nécessaire à leurs navires respectifs, les soussignés Plénipotentiaires ayant été dûment autorisés à cet effet, sont tombés d’accord sur les articles suivants, additionnels à la Convention Générale d’Amitié, de Commerce et de Navigation conclue à Washington le vingt-six Avril mil huif cent vingt-six, entre les deux parties contractantes.
Les Consuls-Généraux, Consuls, Consuls-General, consuls, &c., may sit as judges and arbitrators.
Il est bien entendu cependant., que cette espèce de jugement ou d’arbitrage ne saurait priver les parties contondantes du droit qu’elles ont, à leur retour, de recourir aux autorités judiciaires de leur pays.
Les Consuls-Généraux, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, et Agents Commerciaux seront autorisés à requérir l’assistance des autorités locales pour la recherche, l’arrestation et l’emprisonnement des déserteurs des bâtimens de guerre et de commerce de leur pays. Ils s’addresseront à cet effet aux tribunaux, juges et officiers compétents et réclameront par écrit les déserteurs susmentionnés en prouvant par l’exhibition des registres des bâtimens ou rôles des équipages ou par d’autres documens officiels, ou si le bâtiment était parti par copie des dites pièces dûment certified par eux, que ces individus font partie du dit équipage. Cette réclamation, ainsi justifiée, la remise ne pourra leur être refusée à moins qu’il ne soit dûment prouvé que les dits individus sont des sujets ou des citoyens du pays où la remise est réclamée. Ces déserteurs, lorsqu’ils auront été arrêtés, seront mis à la disposition des dits Consuls-Généraux, Consuls, Vice-Consuls ou Agents Commerciaux, et pourront être enfermés dans les prisons publiques à la réquisition et aux frais de ceux qui les réclament pour être retenus jusqu’au moment où ils pourront être rendus aux bâtimens auxquels ils appartenaient ou pour être renvoyés dans leur pays sur
Mais s’ils ne sont pas renvoyés dans l’espace de trois mois à compter du jour de leur arrestation, ils seront mis en liberté et ne pourront plus être arrêtés pour la même cause.
Toutefois si le déserteur se trou-vait Offences against laws of the country to be punished.

Rights of most favored nation.
Citizens of the United States may make purchases in the Ottoman Empire.
“Permits” abolished.
No other or higher duties or charges shall be imposed in the dominions and possessions of either of the contracting parties, on the exportation of any article to the dominions and possessions of the other, than such as are or may be payable on the exportation of the like article to any other foreign country; nor shall any prohibition be imposed on the exportation of any article from the dominions and possessions of either of the two contracting Powers to the dominions and possessions of the other, which shall not equally extend to the exportation of the like article to any other country.
No charge or duty whatsoever will be demanded on any article of Ottoman produce or manufacture purchased by citizens of the United States of America, or their agents, either at the place where such article is purchased or in its transit from that place to the place whence it is exported, at which it will be subject to an export duty not exceeding eight per cent., calculated on the value at the place of shipment, and payable on exportation; and all articles which shall once have paid this duty shall not again be liable to the same duty, however
To be reduced one per cent, annually.
Duties on imports not to be higher than, &c. Prohibitions.
His Imperial Majesty further engages that, save as hereinafter excepted, he will not prohibit the importation into his dominions and possessions of any article the produce and manufacture of the United Import duties not to exceed eight per cent.
If these articles, after having paid the import duty of eight per cent., are sold either at the place of their arrival or in the interior of the country, neither the buyer nor the seller shall be charged with any further duty in respect to them; and if such articles should not be sold for consumption in the Ottoman Empire, but should be reexported within the space of six months, the same shall be considered as merchandise in transit by land, and be treated as is stated hereinafter in Article XII. of this treaty; the administration of the customs being bound to restore, at. the time of their re-exportation, to the merchant, who shall be required to furnish proof that the goods in question have paid the import duty of eight per cent., the difference between that duty and the duty levied on goods in transit by land, as set forth in tile article above cited.
It is understood that any article, the produce or manufacture of a foreign country intended for impor-tation into the United Principalities of Moldo-Wallachia, or into the Principality of Servin, which shall pass through any other part of the Ottoman Empire, will not be liable to the payment of customs duty until it reaches those principalities; and, on the other hand, that any article of foreign produce or manufacture passing through those principalities but destined for some other part of the Ottoman Empire, will not be liable to the payment of customs duty until such article reaches the first custom-house under the direct administration of the Sublime Porte.
The same course shall be fol-

Such equality of treatment shall apply reciprocally to the respective vessels, from whatever port or place they may arrive and whatever may be their place of destination.
Transit duty to be reduced.
Frauds may be prevented.
Taxes upon and rights of citizens of the United States.
An exception to the stipulations laid down in the fifth article shall be made in regard to tobacco in any shape whatsoever, and also in regard to salt, which two articles shall cease to be included among those which the citizens of the United States of America are permitted to import into the Ottoman dominions.
Citizens of the United States, however, or their agents, buying or selling tobacco or salt for consumption in the Ottoman Empire, shall be subject to the same regulations and shall pay the same duties as the most favored Ottoman subjects trading in the two articles aforesaid ; and furthermore, as a compensation for the prohibition of the two articles above mentioned, no duty whatsoever shall in future be levied on those articles when exported from the Ottoman Empire by citizens of the United States.
Citizens of the United States shall, nevertheless, be bound to declare the quantity of tobacco and salt thus exported to the proper custom-house authorities, who shall, as heretofore, have the right to watch over the export of these articles, without thereby being entitled to levy any tax thereon on any pretence whatsoever.
Stipulations as to gunpowder when imported.
When a cargo or a large quantity of gunpowder arrives in an Ottoman port, on board a vessel of the United States, such vessel shall be anchored at a particular spot, to be designated by the local authorities, and the gunpowder shall thence be conveyed, under the inspection of such authorities, to depots, or fitting places designated by the government, to which the parties interested shall have access under due regulations.

The present treaty, when ratified, shall be substituted for the commercial convention of the 16th of August, 1838, between the Sublime Porte and Great Britain, on the footing of which the commerce of the United States of America has been heretofore placed, and shall continue in force for twenty-eight years from the day of the exchange of the ratifications; and each of the two contracting parties being, however, at liberty to give to the other,
Notice to terminate maybq, given, &c.
Treaty to be executed in all the provinces of the Ottoman Empire.
Treaty to be construed fairly.
Tariff of custom- house duties to be agreed on.
Each of the contracting parties shall have the right, a year before the expiration of that term, to demand the revision of the tariff. But if, during the seventh year, neither the one nor the other of the contracting parties shall avail itself of this right, the tariff then existing shall continue to have the force of law for seven years more, dating from the day of the expiration of the seven preceding years ; and the same shall be the case with respect to every successive period of seven years.
The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Constantinople in three calendar months, or sooner, if possible, and shall be carried into execution when ratified.

Protocol.
The plenipotentiaries undersigned, having come together in conference to determine the general treaty relative to the redemption of the Scheldt dues, and having judged it useful, before drawing up this arrangement in due form, to be enlightened with respect to the treaty concluded the 12th of May, 1863, between Belgium and Holland, have resolved, to this end, to invite the minister of the Netherlands to take a place in the conference.
The plenipotentiary of the Netherlands presented himself in response to this invitation, and made the following declaration : —

Note has been taken and record made of this declaration, which shall be inserted in or annexed to the general treaty.
Done at Brussels, the 15th July, 1863.

Preamble.
Commercial intercourse having been for some time established between the United States and the Republic of Honduras, it seems good for the security as well as the encouragement of such commercial intercourse, and for the maintenance of good understanding between the United States and the said Republic, that the relations now subsisting between them should be regularly acknowledged and confirmed by the signature of a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation.
For this purpose they have named their respective plenipotentiaries, that is to say :

In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and provoke their aggressions, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere,
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal band worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers, in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
