PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. VIII—1842.
APPENDIX No. VIII.- [See page 11.]
Translation of a Commercial Treaty between Persia and Spain,— 1842,
Preamble,
Praise be to the Almighty Guardian of the Universe !
The exalted Government of Persia and the exalted Government of Spam for
the purpose of protecting the interests and welfare of the merchants and other
subjects of the two countries, and the improvement and extension of trade and
commerce, are desirous of an arrangement which will be for the honour and glory
of these Governments. Thus having been convinced that nothing is equal to
the formation of Treaty for the support and benefit of important affairs, they
both therefore have considered it suitable that hereafter between these mighty
Governments and their subjects a basis of friendly intercourse should be estab
lished, according to an auspicious Treaty of friendship and commerce ornamented
with truth and justice, and founded on a firm and permanent footing. For the
purpose of completing this agreement His Majesty, &c., &c., Mahomed Shah,
Kajar, on his part, has appointed Meerza Jaffer Khan, Chief Engineer, &c., &c.,
and Ambassador Extraordinary of the Persian Government to the Court of Turkey,
his Plenipotentiary and in like manner in the name of Her Majesty, Donna Isabella
the second, during Her minority, as, heir-apparent to the sovereignty of Spain,
His Highness Baldomero Espartero Regent and Duke of Victoria and Marbella,
has appointed Monsieur Antonio Louis Cordova, Knight, &c., &c., and Minister
Plenipotentiary of Spain at the Sublime Porte, Plenipotentiary on his part. These
two Plenipotentiaries having on perusal of each other’s full powers found them
to be correct and according to custom have framed the stipulations of the aus
picious Treaty in the following seven articles
Article 1.
From this day and until the Almighty pleaseth, between the exalted Govern
ments of Persia and Spain and their subjects the foundation of friendship, truth
and everlasting regard shall be firmly established.
Article 2.
The subjects of these exalted Governments are reciprocally permitted and
allowed to pass in peace and security into each other’s territories and to carry
on their mercantile transactions or to travel, and to rent such houses, shops, or
storehouses, as may be necessary for the purpose of their business, without any
hindrance on the part of the Government authorities, who are always to render
them assistance and protection and to use their endeavours to maintain a good
understanding between the merchants and travellers of these two exalted Gov
ernments, and to the utmost of their power to add to their comforts. And when
ever it may be necessary for them to depart orders and passports shall be given
to them, that they shall not be molested, but afforded every assistance.
