4. In case of a minority, the regency shall belong of right to the
  queen; and in case there shall be no queen, the French emperor, in his
  capacity of perpetual chief of the imperial family, is to name the
  regent of the kingdom. He is to choose among the princes of the royal
  family, and in default of them, among the nation. The minority of the
  king is to end at the age of eighteen.

  5. The jointure of the queen shall be determined by her marriage
  contract; for this time it is settled that the jointure is fixed at
  the annual sum of 250,000 florins, which shall be taken from the
  domain of the crown. This sum deducted, the half of the remainder of
  the revenues of the crown will serve for the expenses of the
  maintenance of the house of the minor king, the other half shall be
  appropriated to the expenses of the regency.

  6. The king of Holland shall be for ever grand dignitary of the
  empire, under the title of constable; the functions of this grand
  dignitary may, nevertheless, be filled at the will of the emperor of
  the French, by a prince vice-constable, when he shall judge proper to
  create this dignity.

  7. The members of the reigning house of Holland shall remain
  personally subject to the dispositions of the 30th of last March,
  forming the law of the imperial family of France.

  8. _The offices and employments of the state, exclusive of those
  appertaining to the house of the king, can only be conferred on
  natives._

  9. The arms of the king shall be the ancient arms of Holland
  quartered, with the imperial eagle of France, and surmounted with the
  royal crown.

  10. There shall be forthwith concluded between the contracting powers,
  a treaty of commerce, by virtue of which the subjects of Holland will
  be treated at all times in the ports, and on the territory of the
  French empire, as the nation especially favored. His majesty the
  emperor and king, further engages to intercede with the powers of
  Barbary, that the Dutch flag may be respected by them, as well as that
  of his majesty the emperor of the French. The ratifications of the
  present treaty shall be exchanged at Paris in the space of ten days.

  Paris, this 24th May, 1806.

  The 20th of June, 1806, his majesty the king of Holland made a
  proposal to their high mightinesses, concerning the oaths to be
  pronounced by the king and by the public officers, as also of the
  publication of the laws: their high mightinesses approved the same day
  the law, which is to the following purport:


                               OF OATHS.
