This 1701 treaty originally contained this added proviso: Rut c'lnformably to the treaties existing ex-isting between the 1'nlted States and tireat Britain, no vessel that shall have made a prize upon British subjects sub-jects shall have a richt t- shelter In the ports of the United States, but if forced theiein by tempests or any other danger or accident of the sea, they shall be obliged to depart as soon as possible. If this proviso had remained in the treaty it would operate In this case to compel the German prize crew to take the vessel at once out to sea. where the I'.ritish cruisers mhrht recapture her. The treaty with Great Britain, however, expired in lsu? and. arcwdingly, in the lM'S: treaty the exemption il.nise was re -moved in the following express terms: The twelfth arthie ol the treaty of amity and commerce, oonHudtrd between be-tween the parties in 1 7 s and the artt-! artt-! cles from the thirteenth to the twen-I twen-I ty-fourth, inclusive, of that which as concluded at 1'.. rl i 11 in lTC-'V with the exi-eption of the last paragraph in the nineteenth arth le, relatir.tr to tieatis wirji Great Britain, a;v hereby revived with the same force and virtue as if x hi-.v were made a rat i of the context con-text of the pre.-ent treaty.
