August 4, 1790
The commerce necessary for the Creek nation shall be carried on through the ports, and by the citizens of the United States, if substantial and effectual arrangements shall be made for that purpose, by the United States, on or before the first day of August, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two. In the mean time, the said commerce may be carried on through its present channels, and according to its present regulations.
And whereas the trade of the said Creek nation is now carried on wholly, or principally, through the territories of Spain, and obstructions thereto may happen by war, or prohibitions of the Spanish government,
It is therefore agreed between the said parties, that in the event of any such obstructions happening, it shall be lawful for such persons as the President of the United States shall designate, to introduce into, and transport through, the territories of the United States, to the country of the said Creek nation, any quantity of goods, wares, and merchandise, not exceeding in value in any one year, sixty thousand dollars, and that free from any duties or impositions whatsoever; but subject to such regulations, for guarding against abuse, as the United States shall judge necessary; which privilege shall continue as long as such obstruction shall continue.
