ARTICLE 13.
The respective Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular agents, shall
have the right to arrest all sailors who shall have deserted from vessels
of war, or merchant vessels belonging to their respective countries,
and may send them on board, or to their own country. To
this effect, they will address themselves in writing to the competent
local authorities, and will justify by the exhibition of the
ship's register, or roll of the crew; or if the said ship should have
sailed, by a copy of said documents, duly certified by them, that the
men whom they claim were a part of the same crew. On this demand
thus justified, the delivery shall not be refused them; besides,
every aid and assistance shall be given to them in seeking
out, seizing and arresting the said deserters who shall even be detained
and kept in the prisons of the country, on the requisition,
and at the expense of the Consuls, until these agents shall have
found an opportunity to send them away. If, however, this opportunity
should not present itself in the space of four months,
counting from the day of their arrest, the deserters shall be set at
liberty, and cannot again be arrested for the same cause.
ARTICLE 14.
French vessels arriving in or sailing out of the ports of Texas,
and Texian vessels on their entry in or leaving the ports of France,
shall not be subject to other or higher duties of tonnage, of light
money, port charges, pilotage, quarantine, or any other affecting
the body of the vessel than those which are paid, or shall be paid
by the vessels of the country itself.
ARTICLE 15.
The products of the soil, and of the industry of either of the
two countries, imported directly into the ports of the other, the
origin of which shall be duly ascertained, shall pay the same duties
whether imported in French or Texian vessels. In like manner,
the products exported will pay the same duties, and will enjoy
the same privileges, allocations and drawbacks, which are or shall
be allowed on the exportation of the same articles in the vessels of
the country from which they are exported.
ARTICLE 16.
The cottons of Texas, without distinction of quality, will pay on
their entry into the ports of France, when they shall be imported
directly in French or Texian vessels, a uniform duty of twenty
francs on one hundred kilogrammes.
All reduction of duties which may hereafter be made in favor
of the cottons of the United States, shall be equally applied to
those of Texas, gratuitously, should the concession be gratuitous,
or with the same compensation, if the concession is conditional.
