Treati/ between Great Britain and the Sublime Porte concluded at the
Dardanelles on the bth of January 1809.
In the name op the Most Merciful God.
The object of this faithful and authentic instrument is as follows :—
Notwithstanding the appearances of a misunderstanding between the
Court of Great Britain and the Sublime Ottoman Porte, consequent
upon the occurrences of the moment, the two powers, equally animated with
a sincere desire of re-establishing- the ancient friendship which subsisted
between them, have named their Plenipotentiaries for that purpose, that
is to say. His Most August and Most Honored Majesty George the Third,
King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, has named
for His Plenipotentiary Robert Adair, Esquire, one of the Members of
the Royal Parliament of Great Britain; and His Majesty the Most
Noble, Most Powerful, the Most Magnificent Sultan Mahomet Han
II., Emperor of the Ottomans, has named for His Plenipotentiary Syud
Mehmed Emin Vahid Effendi, Director and Inspector of the Department
called " Mercoufat," and invested with the rank of " Niehange^ of the
Imperial Divan, who having reciprocally communicated to each other
their full powers, after several conferences and discussions have con
cluded the peace equally desired by both powers, and have agreed upon
the following articles :—
I.
From the moment of signing the present Treaty every act of hosti
lity between England and Turkey shall cease, and in furtherance of this
happy peace, the prisoners on both sides shall be exchanged without dis
tinction in thirty-one days from the signature of this Treaty, or
sooner, if possible.
II.
Should any fortresses belonging to the Sublime Porte be in the pos
session of Great Britain, they shall be restored to the Sublime Porte, and
given up with all the cannons, warlike stores, and other effects in the
condition in which they were found at the time of their being occupied
by England, and this restitution shall be made in the space of thirty-one
days from the signature of the present Treaty.
III.
Should there be any effects and property belonging to English mer
chants under sequestration within the jurisdiction of the Sublime Porte,
the same shall be entirely given up and restored to the proprietors, and
in like manner, should there by any effects, property, and vessels belong-
in to the merchants, subjects of the Sublime Porte, under sequestration at
Malta, or in any other islands and possessions of His Britannic Majesty,
they also shall be entirely given up and restored to their proprietors.
