Capitulations Articles and Establishment of Peace and Amity the said King of England having in the time of our Grandfather of happy memory Sultan Mahomet Han sent one his well desired Ambassador a Person of Quality to this high Port to Confirm this Peace Articles and Capitulations which Ambassador did declare That oftentimes there were to divers Persons Imperial Commands granted surreptitiously procured contrary to the Tenor and Articles of the Imperial Capitulations which being without our knowledge presented to our Judges and Governors and the Dates of such Commands being more fresh than those of our Imperial Capitulations the Judges and Ministers do put in Execution the private Commands prejudicial and contrary to these Imperial To the end therefore that for the time to come such Commands shall not be accepted of any but that the Imperial Capitulations might be always observed and maintained according to the sincere meaning the said Ambassador demonstrating the sincerity of his Majesty and his Request herein to our Imperial knowledge which was most acceptable In conformity thereunto it was expresly ordered That all such Commands which already have been or shall hereafter be granted which are or shall be repugnant to the Tenor of this Imperial Capitulation whatsoever such Commands shall be when Presented before our Caddees or other Ministers should never be excepted or put into Execution but that always the Tenor of the Imperial Capitulations shall be observed Such Commands to be taken away And whosoever shall Present such Command contrary to the Capitulations they

Throne the King of England did again send a famous and Noble Gentleman his Ambassador with Letters and Presents which were most acceptable And the said Ambassador desiring in the Name of his King and

explained which his Request and Demand was very acceptable unto him and in conformity thereunto the ancient Imperial Capitulations and all the Articles and other Priviledges in them often confirmed and the Peace Amity and good Correspondence contracted in the times of his Ancestors Grandfather and Father and himself confirmed were again by Sultan Osman then ratified established promised and accepted whereupon by him there was express Command given that for the time to come the Tenor of his renewed Capitulations should be of every one observed and that all men should be careful and respectful to the said Peace and Friendship established and contracted on both Parts and that no man should presume to violate or to do any Act contrary thereunto which Ambassador did often declare that the Caddees and other of our Ministers in many Places and Provinces contrary to the Imperial Capitulations and Will of the Imperial Majesty have imposed and laid divers Taxes Burdens and Moneys upon the said English Nation and those under their Banner for which cause as it is above declared it being found necessary to make additions of some new Articles in the said Imperial Capitulation of which the said Ambassador made declaration in Writing and presented the same to the Imperial Presence The said Sultan Osman
Han with his Imperial Hand and Seal did presently give express order and command That in the time to come all those Articles and Priviledges which were already in the Imperial Capitulations and those Articles which now are therein by our order newly added shall be of all our Subjects and Slaves duly obeyed and observed according to the sincere meaning of this our Imperial Capitulations XLVIII In as much as it is publickly known That certain Pyrates of Tunis and Algier contrary to our Imperial Capitulations Mind and Will do take and rob in the Seas the Ships Merchandise and Men Subjects to his Majesty of England and of other Kings and States in League with this our Imperial Port to the great Damage and Injury of the said English Nation We do Command Against the Pyrates of Barbary and by these Presents we do Ordain That several Imperial Commands be given for the entire restitution of all Goods and Merchandise to the English Nation so taken away And that all such English as have been taken and made Slaves or imprisoned by the said Pyrates shall be immediately set free And after the Date of this our Imperial Capitulations if it shall be known that the said Pyrates of Tunis and Algier shall rob them again and shall use and continue their outrages and will not restore their Goods and Men We do Command that the said Pyrates be not received into any Port of our Dominions especially into the Scales of Tunis Algier Modon or Coron Our Beglerbegs and other Ministers shall not suffer them to enter nor harbour nor receive them but the Beglerbegs Caddees or other Ministers shall persecute banish and punish them XLIX Being informed that in our Dominions many of our Customers and other Officers in Aleppo contrary to the Imperial Capitulations under colour of taking Custom and Rest upon Silk of the English Merchants have violently taken from the said Merchants a great Sum of Money And whereas in the Imperial Capitulations it is written No Rest to be taken that for Silk which the English shall buy in Aleppo they shall pay as the French and Venetian Merchants do and no more Notwithstanding the said Customers besides the Two and half per cent for Custom and Rest have taken from that Nation a great Sum of Money lately under Name of Rest wherefore we Command that this Business shall be examined and that the said Money be restored back and for the time to come the ancient Custom may be kept and that this Nation shall only pay as the French and Venetian do and that never be taken one Asper by Name of such Imposition L. Whereas the English Merchants Resident in Galata ordinarily buy divers Goods and Merchandise before they can Lade or send them away upon their Ships and do pay unto the Customers the Custom of the said Goods receiving a Bill or Acquittance to have paid the same and after carry the same Merchandise to their own Warehouses In the mean time before they can Load and send away the said Goods it happens that either the Customer dies or is removed from his Charge and the new Customers will not accept of the said Acquittances but pretend another Custom troubling and molesting of them many ways The Discharge of one Customer a sufficient Acquittance against him that succeeds Wherefore We do Command That of all the Merchandise which they shall buy it appearing really that he hath paid once his Custom the Customer shall accept of the said Acquittances and shall not demand of the Merchant a second Custom LI. It being usual to buy in Angora Chamblets Mohairs Silks and other sorts of Merchandise which they Transport to Constantinople and other Places of our Dominions and pay their Customs taking Acquittances for the same and so put the Goods into their own Warehouses And after being desirous to Ship them away the Customers do demand again the Custom Therefore for the time to come No Custom to be paid twice when the said Merchants shall desire to Lade such Goods and it be true that they have already paid their Custom of such Merchandise they shall not demand any second or new Customs Provided that the said Merchants do not mingle their Goods which have not paid Custom with those which have already paid Custom LII The English Merchants of all the Merchandise which they shall bring into our Dominions and of the Merchandise which they carry out of our Dominions as Silk Chamblets and other Goods having paid the Custom and not sold the Goods unto another And being afterwards to Ship it away for Scio Smyrna or any other Scale and the said Goods there arriving the Customers and Officers shall always accept of their Acquittances which they have in their hands and shall not take other Custom of their Merchandise LIII The English Merchants of all the Commodities which they shall bring to Constantinople or to any other Port of our Dominions and of all such as they shall Transport Mestaria to be paid at Galata the Mestaragi of Galata and Constantinople shall take their Mestaria or Brokidge according to the ancient Canon and Usance that is of such Merchandise as of old Custom was wont to pay it of such they shall onely take Mestaria but of such Merchandise as was not anciently accustomed to pay it shall not be taken Mestaria contrary to the ancient Canon No Duties to be raised above the accustomed Usance Farther upon the English Merchandise there shall not be made or laid any Impositions or other Duties nor from the said Nation shall not be taken one Asper more which shall be contrary to the ancient Canon and accustomed Usance LIV.
