previously prohibited admission,should thenceforward be
allowed to enter, int in consideration of the admission
of Portuguese Wines into Great Britain on payment of
one third less duties than those of France; and if at
any time this deduction in favor of Portuguese Wines should
be attempted and prejudiced, it should be lawful for the
Portuguese Government again to prohibit Woollens'. These

the Treaty of 1703 pro tempore, the stipulation follows
which has been above quoted, in order at once to confirm it.
The Methuen Treaty therefore subsists unaltered, leaving
it free to the Portuguese Government to prohibit the admission
of British Woollens altogether whenever they denied the
