_Copy of the Declaration, which his Majesty the Emperor of
Morocco (whom God preserve) orders to be notified to all
the Consuls and Christian Merchants, who reside in the
Ports of Tangier, Salé, and Mogadore, dated the 20th of
February, 1778._
"That in future all vessels, which carry Russian, German,
Prussian, Hungarian, Neapolitan, Sardinian, Tuscanian,
Genoese, Maltese, or American flags, may freely enter into
the ports of his dominions; and in consequence of his
determination, he has given orders to the commanders of his
vessels, that they let freely pass, all ships and other
vessels carrying the said flags without molesting them. To
the end, that they may arrive at his ports, take
refreshments, and enjoy in them the same privileges and
immunities, with those of the other nations with whom his
Imperial Majesty maintains peace."
I, the underwritten, employed by his Imperial Majesty for foreign
affairs, certify, that the contents of the preceding declaration are
conformable to the truth. And in faith thereof, I sign this present
certificate. At Salé, the 30th of October, 1779.
PEDRO UMBERT.

nations, certify, whom it may concern, that the said Don Pedro Umbert,
who has signed the above certificate, is employed for foreign affairs
at the Court of Morocco, and that in the said quality faith is to be
given to his signature. In witness whereof we sign these presents,
sealed with the seal of the consulate of peace, at Salé, the 1st of
