南京條約(中英文對照)

1、茲因大清大皇帝，大英君主，欲以近來之不和之端解釋，止肇釁，為此議定設立永久和約。是以大清大皇帝特派欽差便宜行事大臣太子少保鎮(zhèn)守廣東廣州將軍宗室耆英，頭品頂戴花翎前閣督部堂乍浦副都統(tǒng)紅帶子伊里布；大英伊耳蘭等國君主特派全權公使大臣英國所屬印度等處三等將軍世襲男爵璞鼎查；公同各將所奉之上諭便宜行事及敕賜全權之命互相較閱，俱屬善當，即便議擬各條，陳列于左：一、嗣后大清大皇帝、大英國君主永存平和，所屬華英人民彼此友睦，各住他國者必受該國保佑身家全安。二、自今以后，大皇帝恩準英國人民帶同所屬家眷，寄居大清沿海之廣州、福州、廈門、寧波、上海等五處港口，貿易通商無礙；且大英國君主派設領事、管事等官住該五處城

2、邑，專理商賈事宜，與各該地方官公文往來；令英人按照下條開敘之列，清楚交納貨稅、鈔餉等費。三、因大英商船遠路涉洋，往往有損壞須修補者，自應給予沿海一處，以便修船及存守所用物料。今大皇帝準將香港一島給予大英國君主暨嗣后世襲主位者常遠據(jù)守主掌，任便立法治理。四、因大清欽差大憲等于道光十九年二月間經將大英國領事官及民人等強留粵省，嚇以死罪，索出鴉片以為贖命，今大皇帝準以洋銀六百萬銀元償補原價。五、凡大英商民在粵貿易，向例全歸額設行商，亦稱公行者承辦，今大皇帝準以嗣后不必仍照向例，乃凡有英商等赴各該口貿易者，勿論與何商交易，均聽其便；且向例額設行商等內有累欠英商甚多無措清還者，今酌定洋銀三百萬銀元，作為

3、商欠之數(shù)，準明由中國官為償還。六、因大清欽命大臣等向大英官民人等不公強辦，致須撥發(fā)軍士討求伸理，今酌定水陸軍費洋銀一千二百萬銀元，大皇帝準為償補，惟自道光二十一年六月十五日以后，英國因贖各城收過銀兩之數(shù)，大英全權公使大臣為君主準可，按數(shù)扣除。七、以上三條酌定銀數(shù)共二千一百萬銀元應如何分期交清開列于左：此時交銀六百萬銀元；癸卯年六月間交銀三百萬銀元，十二月間交銀三百萬銀元，共銀六百萬銀元；甲辰年六月間交銀二百五十萬銀元，十二月間交銀二百五十萬銀元，共銀五百萬銀元；乙巳年六月間交銀二百萬銀元，十二月間交銀二百萬銀元，共銀四百萬銀元；自壬寅年起至乙巳年止，四年共交銀二千一百萬銀元。倘有按期未能交足之

4、數(shù)，則酌定每年每百元加息五銀元。八、凡系大英國人，無論本國、屬國軍民等，今在中國所管轄各地方被禁者，大清大皇帝準即釋放。九、凡系中國人，前在英人所據(jù)之邑居住者，或與英人有來往者，或有跟隨及俟候英國官人者，均由大皇帝俯降御旨，謄錄天下，恩準全然免罪；且凡系中國人，為英國事被拿監(jiān)禁受難者，亦加恩釋放。十、前第二條內言明開關俾英國商民居住通商之廣州等五處，應納進口、出口貨稅、餉費，均宜秉公議定則例，由部頒發(fā)曉示，以便英商按例交納；今又議定，英國貨物自在某港按例納稅后，即準由中國商人遍運天下，而路所經過稅關不得加重稅例，只可按估價則例若干，每兩加稅不過分。十一、議定英國住中國之總管大員，與大清大臣無論

5、京內、京外者，有文書來往，用照會字樣；英國屬員，用申陳字樣；大臣批復用札行字樣；兩國屬員往來，必當平行照會。若兩國商賈上達官憲，不在議內，仍用稟明字樣為著。十二、俟奉大清大皇帝允準和約各條施行，并以此時準交之六百萬銀元交清，大英水陸軍士當即退出江寧、京口等處江面，并不再行攔阻中國各省商賈貿易。至鎮(zhèn)海之招寶山，亦將退讓。惟有定?？h之舟山海島、廈門廳之古浪嶼小島，仍歸英兵暫為駐守；迨及所議洋銀全數(shù)交清，而前議各?？诰验_辟俾英人通商后，即將駐守二處軍士退出，不復占據(jù)。十三、以上各條均關議和要約，應候大臣等分別奏明大清大皇帝、大英君主各用親筆批準后，即速行相交，俾兩國分執(zhí)一冊，以昭信守；惟兩國相離遙

6、遠，不得一旦而到，是以另繕二冊，先由大清欽差便宜行事大臣等、大英欽奉全權公使大臣各為君上定事，蓋用關防印信，各執(zhí)一冊為據(jù)，俾即日按照和約開載之條，施行妥辦無礙矣。要至和約者。道光二十二年七月二十四日即英國記年之一千八百四十二年八月二十九日由江寧省會行大英君主汗華船上鈴關防原文Treaty of Nanjing (Nanking), 1842(Ratifications exchanged at Hongkong, 26th June 1843.)VICTORIA, by the Grace of God, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
