The following were the conditions on which the Russian ships and frigates were lent to Great Britain:—

1st. There shall be paid by England, on their quitting the port of Cronstadt in order to proceed to Revel, the port of embarkation, the sum of £58,976. 10s. sterling, as a subsidy for the expenses of equipment, &&, for three months, to be computed from the day of their departure from Cronstadt.

2nd. After the expiration of these three months, his Britannic Majesty shall continue the same subsidies—that is to say, of £19,642. 10s. sterling a month.

3rd. Independently of this pecuniary succour, his Britannic Majesty shall provide for the subsistence of the crews ; and the officers and sailors shall be placed on the same footing as are the English officers and sailors in time of war, and as are the Russian officers and sailors who are at present in the squadron of his Imperial Majesty which is united to the English squadron.

4th. All these stipulations shall have full and entire effect until the return of the above-mentioned ships and frigates into Russian ports.

5th. If it should happen, contrary to all expectations, that these six ships—five frigates and two transport vessels—should not be able, through some unforeseen event, to return to Russia before the close of the present campaign, bis Britannic Majesty engages to admit them into English ports, where they shall receive every possible assistance, both for necessary repairs and for the accommodation of the crews and officers.

6th. As the six ships—five frigates and two transport vessels—above-mentioned, having been originally intended for another destination, were furnished with provisions for three months, his Britannic Majesty, instead of famishing them in kind, as is stated in the 2nd Article, engages to pay, according to an estimate whi'ch shall be made, the value of these provisions. With regard to the officers, his Majesty the King of Great Britain will adopt the same principle as has been followed until the present time respecting the officers of the Russian squadron which is joined to the naval forces of England: that shall serve as a rule for indemnifying them for the preparations they have made for the campaign, such as it had been originally intended to take place.
