Under the twelfth article of this treaty--
The United States agree to extend all the advantages and privileges
contained in the stipulations of the present treaty to one or more of
the other States of the Germanic Confederation which may wish to accede
to them, by means of an official exchange of declarations, provided that
such State or States shall confer similar favors upon the said United
States to those conferred by the Kingdom of Hanover, and observe and be
subject to the same conditions, stipulations, and obligations.
This declaration of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is submitted
to the Senate, because in its eighth and eleventh articles it is not the
same in terms with the corresponding articles of our treaty with
Hanover. The variations, however, are deemed unimportant, while the
admission of our "paddy," or rice in the husk, into Mecklenburg-Schwerin
free of import duty is an important concession not contained in the
Hanoverian treaty. Others might be mentioned, which will appear upon
inspection.
