PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. VII—1828.
XXIX
gating in freedom the Caspian Sea,
and of landing on its coasts. They
shall find in Persia aid and assist
ance in case of shipwreck. The
same right is granted to Persian
merchant vessels of navigating on
the ancient footing the Caspian Sea,
and of landing on the Russian banks,
where in case of shipwreck the
Persians shall receive aid and
assistance reciprocally. With respect
to ships of war those carrying the
Russian military colours, being ab
antiquo the only vessels which have
had the right of navigating the Caspian
Sea, that exclusive privilege is for
this reason now equally reserved
and secured to them, so that, with
the exception of Russia, no other
power shall be able to have ships of
war in the Caspian Sea.
Article 9.
His Majesty the Emperor of all
the Russias and His Majesty the
Shah of Persia, cordially desirous of
drawing closer by every means the
bonds so happily re-established
between them, have agreed that the
Ambassadors, Ministers, and Charges
d’Afiaires who may be reciprocally
delegated to the respective High
Courts, whether on a temporary
mission, or for the purpose of residing
there permanently, shall be received
with the honours and distinctions
due to their rank, and suited to the
dignity of the high contracting parties,
as well as to the sincere friendship
which unites them and the usages of
the countries. In this respect the
ceremonials to be observed on both
sides shall be agreed upon by means
of a special Protocol.
de naviguer librement sur la mer Cas-
pienne, et le long de ses cbtes et d’y
aborder. Ils trouveront en Perse se-
cours et assistance dans le cas de nauf-
rage. Le meme droit est accorde aux
batimens marchands Persans de naviguer
sur Vancien pied, dans la mer Caspienne
et d’aborder aux rivages Russes, ou,
en cas de naufrage, les Persans recevront
reciproquement secours et assistance.
Quant aux batimens de guerre, ceux
qui portent le pavilion militaire Russe,
etant ab antiquo les seuls qui aient le
droit de naviguer la mer Caspienne, ce
meme privilege exclusif leur est par
cette raison egalement reserve, et assure
aujourd’hui, de sorte qu’a Texception
de la Russie aucune autre puissance
ne pourra avoir des batimens de guerre
sur la mer Caspienne.
Article 9.
Sa Majeste TEmpereur de toutes les
Russies, et Sa Majeste le Schah de Perse,
ayant a coeur de resserrer par tous les
moyens les liens si heureusement retablis
entre eux, sont convenus que les Ambas-
sadeurs, Ministres, et Charges d’Affaires,
qui pourraient etre reciproquement dele-
gues aupres des hautes cours respectives.
soit pour s’acquitter d’une mission
temporaire, soit pour y resider en
permanence, seront regus avec les
honneurs et distinctions analogues a
leur rang, et conformes a la dignite
des Hautes Puissances contractantes,
comme a Tamitie sincere qui les unit
et aux usages du pays. On convien-
dra a cet effet, moyennanl un Protocole
special, du ceremoniel a observer de
part et d’autre.
