TREATY OF COMMERCE, NAVIGATION, ETC., BETWEEN U. STATES AND PERU.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Whereas, a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation between the United States of America and the Republic of Peru was concluded and signed at Lima, on the twenty-sixth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one, which treaty, being in the English and Spanish languages, is word for word as follows:

The United States of America and the Republic of Peru being equally animated with the desire to render firm and permanent the peace and friendship which have always so happily subsisted between them, and to place their commercial relations upon the most liberal basis, have resolved to fix clear and precise rules which shall in future be religiously observed between the two nations, by means of a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation.

To attain this desirable object the President of the United States of America has conferred full powers on John Randolph Clay, the accredited Charge d'Affaires of the said States to the government of Peru, and the President of the Republic of Peru has conferred like full powers on Brigadier-general Don Juan Crisostoma Torrico, Minister of War and the Marine Minister of Foreign Affairs, ad interim, &c., who, after exchanging their respective full powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following articles:

ARTICLE 1. There shall be perfect and perpetual peace and friendship between the United States of America and the Republic of Peru, and between their respective territories, people, and citizens, without distinction of persons or places.

ART. 2. The United States of America and the Republic of Peru mutually agree that there shall be reciprocal liberty of Commerce and navigation between their respective territories and citizens; the citizens of either republic may frequent with

* 1,364 qrs. barley; 429,515 planks and deals; 760 cwt. salt; 18 casks wine; 5 rafts, and 6 pairs mill-stones.

+503 qrs. linseed; 160 tons calcined bones; 102 bales wool; 1,547 ox-hides.

414 casks wine; 993 barrels prunes, and 420 bags walnuts.

their vessels all the coasts, ports, and places of the other, whatever foreign Commerce is permitted, and reside in all parts of the territory of either, and occupy dwellings and warehouses, and everything belonging thereto shall be respected, and shall not be subjected to any arbitrary visits or search. The said citizens shall have full liber

ty to trade in all parts of the territories of either, according to the rules established by the respective regulations of Commerce, in all kinds of goods, merchandise, manufactures, and produce not prohibited to all, and to open retail stores and shops, under the same municipal and police regulations as native citizens; and they shall not in this respect be liable to any other or higher taxes or imposts than those which are or may be paid by native citizens. No examination or inspection of their books, papers, or accounts, shall be made without the legal order of a competent tribunal or judge. The citizens of either country shall also have the unrestrained right to travel in any part of the possessions of the other, and shall in all cases enjoy the same security and protection as the natives of the country wherein they reside, on condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there prevailing; they shall not be called upon for any forced loan or occasional contribution, nor shall they be liable to any embargo, or to be detained with their vessels, cargoes, merchandise, goods, or effects, for any military expedition, or for any public purpose whatsoever, without being allowed therefor a full and sufficient indemnification, which shall in all cases be agreed upon and paid in advance.

ART. 3. The two high contracting parties hereby bind and engage themselves not to grant any favor, privilege, or immunity whatever, in matters of Commerce and navigation, to other nations, which shall not be also immediately extended to the citizens of the other contracting party, who shall enjoy the same gratuitously, if the concession shall have been gratuitous, or on giving a compensation as nearly as possible of proportionate value and effect, to be adjusted by mutual agreement, if the concession shall have been conditional.

ART. 4. No higher or other duties or charges on account of tonnage, light-houses, or harbor dues, pilotage, quarantine, salvage in case of damage or shipwreck, or any other local charges, shall be imposed in any ports of Peru on vessels of the United States of the burden of two hundred tons and upwards, than those payable in the same ports by Peruvian vessels of the same burden, nor in any of the ports of the United States by Peruvian vessels of the burden of two hundred tons and upwards, than shall be payable in the same ports by vessels of the United States of the same

burden.

ART. 5. All kinds of merchandise and articles of Commerce which may be lawfully imported into the ports and territories of either of the high contracting parties in national vessels, may also be so imported in vessels of the other party, without paying other or higher duties and charges of any kind or denomination whatever than if the same merchandise and articles of Commerce were imported in national vessels; nor shall any distinction be made in the manner of making payment of the said duties or charges.

It is expressly understood that the stipulations in this and the preceding article are to their full extent applicable to the vessels and their cargoes belonging to either of the high contracting parties arriving in the ports and territories of the other, whether the said vessels have cleared directly from the ports of the country to which they appertain or from the ports of any other nation.

ART. 6. No higher or other duties or charges shall be imposed or levied upon the importation into the ports and territories of either of the high contracting parties of any article the produce, growth, or manufacture of the other party, than are or shall be payable on the like article, being the produce, growth, or manufacture of any other country; nor shall any prohibition be imposed upon the importation of any article the produce, growth, or manufacture of either party into the ports or territories of the other, which shall not equally extend to all other nations.

ART. 7. All kinds of merchandise and articles of Commerce which may be lawfully exported from the ports and territories of either of the high contracting parties in national vessels, may also be exported in vessels of the other party; and they shall be subject to the same duties only, and be entitled to the same drawbacks, bounties, and allowances, whether the same merchandise and articles of Commerce be exported in vessels of the one party or in vessels of the other party.

ART. 8. No changes or alterations in the tariffs of either of the high contracting parties, augmenting the duties payable upon merchandise or articles of Commerce of any sort or kind imported into, or exported from, their respective ports, shall be held
