ART.  V. The French army shall carry with it all its equipments, and all that is comprehended under the name of property of the army; that is to say, its military chest, and carriages attached to the Field Commissariat and Field Hospitals; or shall be allowed to dispose of such part of the same, on its account, as the Commander-in-Chief may judge it unnecessary to embark.  In like manner, all individuals of the army shall be at liberty to dispose of their private property of every description; with full security hereafter for the purchasers.

ART.  VI.  The cavalry are to embark their horses; as also the Generals and other officers of all ranks.  It is, however, fully understood, that the means of conveyance for horses, at the disposal of the British Commanders, are very limited; some additional conveyance may be procured in the port of Lisbon; the number of horses to be embarked by the troops shall not exceed six hundred; and the number embarked by the Staff shall not exceed two hundred.  At all events every facility will be given to the French army to dispose of the horses, belonging to it, which cannot be embarked.

ART.  VII.  In order to facilitate the embarkation, it shall take place in three divisions; the last of which will be principally composed of the garrisons of the places, of the cavalry, the artillery, the sick, and the equipment of the army.  The first division shall embark within seven days of the date of the ratification; or sooner, if possible.

ART.  VIII.  The garrison of Elvas and its forts, and of Peniche and Palmela, will be embarked at Lisbon; that of Almaida at Oporto, or the nearest harbour.  They will be accompanied, on their march by British Commissaries, charged with providing for their subsistence and accommodation.

ART.  IX.  All the sick and wounded, who cannot be embarked with the troops, are entrusted to the British army.  They are to be taken care of, whilst they remain in this country, at the expence of the British Government; under the condition of the same being reimbursed by France when the final evacuation is effected.  The English government will provide for their return to France; which shall take place by detachments of about one hundred and fifty (or two hundred) men at a time.  A sufficient number of French medical officers shall be left behind to attend them.

ART.  X. As soon as the vessels employed to carry the army to France shall have disembarked it in the harbours specified, or in any other of the ports of France to which stress of weather may force them, every facility shall be given them to return to England without delay; and security against capture until their arrival in a friendly port.

ART.  XI.  The French army shall be concentrated in Lisbon, and within a distance of about two leagues from it.  The English army will approach within three leagues of the capital; and will be so placed as to leave about one league between the two armies.
