Treatise and Tariffs Regulating the Trade Between Great Britain and Foreign Nations: And Extracts of Treaties Between Foreign Powers, Containing ... in Force on the 1st January, 1875; Austria - Softcover
Excerpt from Treatise and Tariffs Regulating the Trade Between Great Britain and Foreign Nations: And Extracts of Treaties Between Foreign Powers, Containing Most-Favoured-Nation Clauses Applicable to Great Britain, in Force on the 1st January, 1875; Austria
Take one more instance, the case of Spain. This country has concluded no new Commercial Treaty with Spain since the Peace of 1814. But by an Additional Article to that Treaty, dated 28th August, 1814, Great Britain was admitted to trade with Spain, pending the negotiation of a new Treaty of Commerce, upon the same conditions as existed before 17 96. I This Additional Article also ratified and confirmed all Treaties of Commerce, which at that period existed between the two nations. These early Treaties, and Spanish Cedulas of British privileges alluded to in them, date as far back as 1645, and although they are in many respects quite inconsistent with modern civilization, nevertheless they confer upon British subjects the privileges of the most favoured nation and as they are frequently appealed to as being still in force, it would evidently be convenient that they should be collected together, carefully examined and annotated, in order to show which clauses may fairly be considered as being still binding.
And although it may be said to be treating so important a subject with levity, I cannot refrain from drawing attention to one more fact to show how impossible it would be in these enlightened days to insist too literally on the execution of the stipulations of all our ancient Treaties with foreign Powers, notwithstanding they may be said to have been renewed and confirmed to their full extent by modern Treaties.
In one of the latest Treaties concluded between this country and Tripoli (signed on the 10th May, 1812, and which is still in force), it was stated that the Bashaw of Tripoli was desirous of maintaining inviolable the existing Treaties between the two countries and it was then declared that they should all have their full effect and virtue, and be looked upon as renewed and confirmed. One of the Treaties thus confirmed was the Treaty of the lst ~may, 1676, in which the following singular passage occurs Whosoever shall at any time violate and break any part of the said Article or Articles of Peace shall assuredly be punished with the greatest severity, and his or their Heads shall immediately be out of, and forthwith be presented unto any officer whom the most Serene King of Great Britain shall authorize to make demand thereof!
