The following stipulations were also made:

21. His Britannic Majesty agrees that the vessels of the United States of America shall be admitted and hospitably received at the principal settlements of the British dominions in the East Indies, viz: Calcutta, Madras, Bombay and the Prince of Wales' islands, and that the citizens of the United States may freely carry on trade between the said principal settlements and the said United States, in all articles of which the importation and exportation, respectively to and from the said territories, shall not be entirely prohibited; provided only that it shall not be lawful for them, in any time of war between the British government and any state or power whatever, to export from the said territories, without the special permission of the British government, any military or naval stores, or rice.

22. The citizens of the United States shall pay for their vessels, when admitted, no higher or other duty or charge, than shall be payable on the vessels of the most favoured European nations, and they shall pay no higher or other duties or charges on the importation or exportation of the cargoes of the said vessels, than shall be payable on the same articles, when imported or exported in the vessels of the most favoured European nations.

23. But it is expressly agreed, that the vessels of the United States shall not carry any articles from the said principal settlements to any port or place, except to some port or place in the United States of America, where the same shall be unladen.

24. It is also understood, that the permission granted by the preceding article is not to extend to allow the vessels of the United States to carry on any part of the coasting trade of the said British territories; but the vessels of the United States, having in the first instance, proceeded to one of the said principal settlements of the British dominions in the East Indies, and then going with their original cargoes, or part thereof, from one of the said principal settlements to another, shall not be considered as carrying on the coasting trade.

25. The vessels of the United States may also touch for refreshment, but not for commerce, in the course of their voyage to and from the British territories in India, or to or from the dominions of the Emperor of China, at the cape of Good Hope, the island of St. Helena, or such other places, as may be in the possession of Great Britain, in the African or Indian seas; it being well understood that in all that regards this article, the citizens of the United States shall be subject, in all respects, to the laws and regulations of the British Government from time to time established.
