shall be conformed to that of the United
States.
First mode of Pi/ymen!.—Immediately
nfter this 'l‘i'e:ity shall have been duly rat-
ified by the Government of the Mexican
Republic, the sum of three millions of
dollars shall be paid to the said Govern-
ment by that ofthe United States, at the
City of Mexico, in the gold or silver coin
of Mexico. For the remaining twelve
millions of dolly.-, the United States shall
create a stock, bearing an interest of six
per centuui per annum, commencing on
the day of the ratification of this Treaty
by the Government of the Mexican Repub-
lic, and payable annually at the City of
Washington; the principal of said stock
to be redeemable there, at the pleasure of
the G_overnment of the United States, at
any time after two years from the exchange
of ratifications ofthis Treaty; six months’
public notice _of the intention to redeem
the same being previously given. Certifi-
cates of such stock, in proper form, for
such sums as shall be specified by the
Mexican Government, shall be delivered

stallments of three millions of dollars
each, together with interest on the same,
at the rate of six per centum per aunuin.
This interest shall begin to run upon the
whole sum of twelve millions from the
day of the ratification of the present
Treaty by ghe Mexican Government, and

ment, as it falls due, the whole interest

ment, aud transferable by it,'shall be deliv-
ercd to the said Government by that of

fer millions of dollars. To ascertain the

the duty of all officers and agents of the
United States to denounce to the Mexican
authorities at the respective ports any at-
tempts at a fraudulent abuse of this stip-
ulation which they may know of or may
have reason to suspect. and to give to
such authorities all the aid in their power
with regard thereto; and every such at-
teriipt, when ‘duly proved and established
by sentence of a competent tribunal, shall
be punished by the confiscation of the
property so attempted to be fraudulently
introduced.

ularly exchanged, the person so offending
shall be dealt with according to the estab-
lished laws of war. The officers shall be
daily furnished by the party in whose
power they are, wiili as many rations, and
of the same articles, as are allowed, either
in kind or by commutation, to officers of
equal rank in its own army ; and all
others shall be daily l'urni.shed with such
ration as is allowed to a common soldier
in its own service; the value of all which.
supplies shall, at the close of the war,.or
in periods to be agreed upon between the
respective commanders, be paid by the
other party, on a mutual adjustment of ac-
counts for the subsistence of prisoners;
and such accounts shall not be mingled
with or set off against any others, nor the
balance due on them withheld, as a com-
pensation or reprisal for any cause what-
ever, real or pretended. Each party shall
after the restoration of the said Custom-
Houses, and previously to the expiration.

the time of the restoration of the same.-
And to all such nicrcliandi.-e, effects, and
property, the rules established by the pre-
ceding Article shall apply.
ART. XXl.—-If, uuhappily, any disagree-
ment should liereafter arise between the
Governments of the two Republics, wheth-
er with respect to the interpretation of
any stipulation in this Treaty, or with re-
spect to any other particular concerning
the political or commercial relations of
the two nations, the said Governments, in
the name of those nations, do promise to
each other that they will endeavor, in the
most sincere and earnest uianner, to set-
tle the diffierences so arising, and to pre-
serve the slate of peace and friendship in
which the two countries are now placing
themselves; using, for this end, mutual
representations and pacific negotiations.
And if, by these means, they should not
be enabled to come to an agreement, a re-
sort shall not, on this account, be had to
reprisals, aggression, or hostility of any
kind by the one republic against the Other,
until the Government of that which deems
itself aggrieved shall have maturely con-
sidered, in the spirit of peace and good
neighbors-hip, whether it would not be
better that such difference should be settled
by the arbitration of Commissioners
appointed on each side, or by that ofa
frii-ndly'nution. And should such course
be proposed by either party it shall be
acceded to by the other, unless deemed
by it altogether incompatible with the
nature of the difference, or the circum-
stances of the case.
ART. XXII.-—-if (which is not to be
expected, and which God forbid !) war
shall uuhappily break out between the two
Republics, they do now, with a view to
such calamity, pledge themselves to each
other and to the world, to observe the
following rules, absolutely, where the
nature of the subject permits, and as
closely as possible in all cases where such
absolute observance shall be impossible.
I. The merchants of either Republic
then residing in the other shall be allowed
to remain twelve months, (for those
dwelling in the interior,) and six months
(for those dwelling at the seaports,) to
collect their debts and settle their affairs;
during which periods, they shall enjoy
the same protection, and be on the same
footing, in all respects, as the citizens or
subjects of the most friendly nations; and
at the expiration thereof, or at any time
before, they shall have full liberty to de-
part, carrying off all their effects without
molestation or hindrance; conforming
therein to the same laws which the citizens
or subjects of the most friendly nations
are required to conform to. Upon the
entrance of the armies of either nation
into the territories of the other, women
and children, ecclesiastics, scholars of
every faculty, cultivators of the earth,
mercliants, artisans, manufacturers, and
fishermen, inhabiting unfortified towns,
villages or places, and in general all per-
sons whose occupations are for the common
subsistence and benefit of iuankind, shall
be allowed to continue their respective
cmployments unmolested in their persons.
Nor shall their houses or goods be burnt
or otherwise destroyed, nor their cattle
taken, nor their fields wasted, by the armed
force into whose power, by the events of
war, they may happen to fall; but if the
necessity arise to take anything from
them for the use of such armed force, the
same shall be paid for at an equitable price.
All churches, hospitals, schools, colleges,
libraries, and other establishments, for
charitable and bcnificent purposes, shall
be respected, and all persons connected
with the same, protected in the discharge
oftheir duties, and the pursuit of their
vacations.
2. In order that the fate df prisoners of
war may be alleviated, all such practices
as those of sending them into distant,
inclement, or unwholesome districts, or
crowding them into close and noxious
places, shall be studiously avoided. They
shall not be confined in dungeons, prison-
sliips or prisons; nor be put in irons, or
bound, or otherwise restrained in the use
of their limbs. The oflicers shall enjoy
liberty on their paroles, within convenient
districts, and have comfortiible quarters;
and the common soldiers shall be disposed
in cantonments, open and extensive enough
for air and exercise, and lodged in bar-
racks as roomy and good as are provided
by the party in whose power they are for
its own troops. But if any officer shall
break his parole by leaving the district so
‘friends; and shall be free to transmit his
be allowed to keep a commissary of pris-
oncrs, appointed by itself, with every
cantonment of prisoners, in possession of
the other; which commissary shall see
the prisoners as often as_lie pleases; shall
be allowed to receive, exempt from all
duties or taxes, and to distribute, whatever
comforts may be sent to them by their
reports in open letters to the party by
whoinjie is employed.
And it is declared that neither the pre-
tence that the war dissolves all Treaties,
nor any other wliatever, shall be considered
as annuling or suspending the solemn
covenant, contained in this article. On’
the contrary, the state of war is precisely
that for which it is provided; and during
which, its stipulations are to be as
sacredly observed as the most acknowl
edged obligations under the laws of Nature’
or Nations.
AiiT. XXlll.—Tliis Treaty shall be rati-
fied by the President of the United States
of America, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate thereof; and by
the President of the Mexican Republic,
with the previous approbation of its Gen-
eral Congress; and the ratifications shall
be exchanged in the City of Wasliington,
in four months from the date of the sig-
nature hereof, or sooner if practicable.
In faith whereof, we, the respective
Plenipotentiaries, have signed this Treaty
of Peace, friendship, limits, and settle-
ment; and have hereunto affixed our
souls respectively. Done in quintuplicate,
at the City of Guadalupe Hidalgo, on the
second day of February, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
forty-eight.
