ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.

Payments to be made in case of Part of Belgic Provinces being Severed from the Dominions of Belgium.

In order to prevent any doubts that might hereafter arise, with respect to the meaning and operation of Article V of the Convention this day signed, it is understood and agreed between the 3 High Contracting Parties, that in the event of a part of the Belgic Provinces being at any time hereafter severed from the Dominions of His Belgic Majesty, a proportionate reduction only of the charge agreed to be borne by their Majesties the King of the Netherlands, and the King of Great Britain, to be calculated according to the Population of the Districts so severed, shall thereupon take place; the residue of the respective payments continuing to be regularly defrayed, as provided for in the said Convention.

Payments to be made in case of Invasion or Temporary Occupation of Belgic Provinces.

It is further understood and agreed, that the invasion or temporary occupation of the said Provinces, by an enemy, shall not be considered as determining any part of the said payments, unless continued beyond the period of a year; in which case it shall be competent for their said Majesties the King of the Netherlands, and the King of Great Britain, to suspend their respective payments, subject to account with the Government of His Imperial Majesty, upon the expulsion or evacuation of the said Provinces by the enemy, for the whole, or such proportion of the said Arrears as may correspond with the state of possession in which His Majesty the King of the Netherlands may at such period find himself established.

Ratifications.

This Additional Article shall be ratified on the same day as the Convention signed on this day; and it shall have the same force and validity as if it were inserted word for word in the said Convention.

In faith whereof, we, the Undersigned, in virtue of our Full Powers, have signed the present Additional Article, and affixed thereto the Seal of our Arms.
