ABSTRACT

On the 8th August, 1830, a Commercial Treaty was concluded between France and Tunis, by Article V of which the Bey of Tunis restored to France the exclusive right to the coral fishery, from the limits of the French Possessions as far as Cape Negro, such as they were possessed by her before the war of 1792. It was further agreed that the ancient properties, buildings, ships, and various erections on the Island of Tabarque should also be restored.
