It is further agreed upon between the two Parties, that if on the arrival at Mauritius of the twenty individuals above mentioned, accompanied by Mr. Hastie, the Governor should not consent to the instruction of the said twenty individuals, ten at Mauritius and ten in England, then shall the Treaty become null, without compromising, however, the word or promise of King Radama.

It is understood by this Article, that the British Government shall place the said twenty individuals with persons practising the various trades before mentioned; but that Government is not responsible for their conduct or their want of capacity.

Mr. James Hastie further engages to take with him eight other individuals, to be instructed in music, for the purpose of being formed into a band for the regiment of guards of His Majesty the King of Madagascar.

In consequence of this Article, and the conditions before stated, King Radama will make a Proclamation, in the which he will notify the said abolition of the Exportation of Slaves from within his Dominions and will further invite all persons of talent, or otherwise skilled in any trade or profession, to come and visit his Country, promising to them his protection; and the said Proclamation shall be published in the Mauritius Gazette.

PROCLAMATION of Radama, King of Madagascar, prohibiting the Exportation of Slaves, October 11, 1820.

MOVED by the same principles of humanity which have animated the Sovereign of Great Britain and other Powers to abolish and prohibit the Exportation of Slaves, by these presents makes a Proclamation, in the which he forbids in a solemn manner all and every person, to export the Natives of Madagascar, under the penalty of themselves, in their own persons, being reduced to Slavery.

The King Radama embraces the present occasion of calling upon all persons of talent or profession to come and visit his Country, in order to prosecute their inquiries and researches as to the nature of its productions; and to whom he gives a sacred assurance of his protection in their efforts and undertakings.

No. 1.-SUPPLEMENT to the Definitive Treaty with the Guicowar, dated 6th November, 1817.

A DEFINITIVE Treaty, consisting of 17 Articles, in consolidation of all preceding Engagements with the Guicowar State, was concluded at Baroda, between the Hon.

The following Articles of Engagement are now agreed on and settled, as supplemental to the said Treaty, by His Highness Futteh Sing Row Guicowar, on the part of the said Maharajah Anund Row Guicowar, and Captain James Rivett Carnac, on the part of the said Hon. Company, under full Powers and Authority granted to them respectively for that purpose:

I. Whereas it has appeared highly expedient, in order effectually to provide for the maintenance of the interests of the alliance in Guzerat, and for the protection of the Guicowar Dominions, that additional means to those provided by the 3rd Article of the Definitive Treaty dated 31st April, 1805, corresponding with 20th Mohurrum, 1220 Hejira, or Summut 1861, in the month of Cheytree, should be furnished by the Hon. Company, the Maharajah Anund Row Guicowar Sena Khaskheyl Shumshur Behadur agrees to receive, and the Hon. East India Company to furnish, an increase to the present Subsidiary Force, of one battalion of Native Infantry, of not less than 1000 men, with two regiments of Native Cavalry, of the same strength and complement as the Cavalry Regiment belonging to the Poona Subsidiary Force; and the Maharajah further engages to the admission and residence in the Guicowar Territories of any number of British Troops in excess to the Subsidiary Force, His Highness being liable to no additional charge on this account.

II. The Subsidiary Force will at all times be ready to execute the services expressed in the 4th Article of the Treaty dated 21st April, 1805, corresponding with 20th Mohurrum, 1220 Hejira, or Summut 1861, in the month of Cheytree; and in the event of war breaking out with any of the Powers of India, it is agreed, conformably to the 12th Article of the aforesaid Treaty, that with the reserve of a battalion of Native Infantry, to remain near the person of the Maharajah Anund Row Guicowar Sena Khaskheyl Shumshur Behadur, or such a proportion as may appear necessary for the security of Guzerat, the residue of the Subsidiary Force now composed of four battalions of Native Infantry, of 1000 men each battalion, or five battalions of 800 men, and two regiments of Native Cavalry, with one company of European Artillery, with their proportion of gun lascars, with the necessary ordnance and warlike stores and ammunition, shall be immediately put in motion for the purpose of opposing the enemy.
