Art. 1. – There shall be perpetual peace and friendship between the Honourable Company on one part, and his Majesty the King of Ava on the other.

Art. 2. – His Majesty the King of Ava renounces all claims upon, and will abstain from all future interference with, the principality of Assam and its dependencies, and also with the contiguous petty states of Cachar and Jyntea. With regard to Munnipore, it is stipulated that, should Gumbheer Singh desire to return to that country, he shall be recognized by the King of Ava as Rajah thereof.

Art. 3. – To prevent all future dispute respecting the boundary line between the two great nations, the British government will retain the conquered provinces of Aracan, including the four divisions of Aracan, Ramree, Cheduba and Sandowey; and his Majesty the King of Ava cedes all right thereto. The Amoupectoumieu or Aracan mountains, (known in Aracan by the name of Yeoamatoung or Phokingtoun range,) will henceforth be the boundary between the two great nations on that side. Any doubts regarding the said line of demarcation, will be settled by Commissioners appointed by the respective Governments for that purpose, such Commissioners from both Powers to be of suitable and corresponding rank.
