中英《南京条约》（汉英对照版）

１８４２年８月２９日

〔中〕耆英〔英〕璞鼎查

一、嗣后大清大皇帝与英国君主，永存平和，所属华英人民，彼此友睦，各住他国者，必受该国保佑，身家全安。

二、自今以后，大皇帝恩准英国人民，带回所属家眷，寄居没海之广州、福州、厦门、宁波、上海等五处港口，贸易通商无碍。英国君主派设领事、管事等官，住该五处城邑，专理商贾事宜。与各该地方官公文往来，令英人按照下条开叙之例，清楚交纳货税、钞饷等费。

叁、因英国商船，远路涉洋，往往有损坏须修补者，自应给予沿海一处，以便修船及存守所用物料。今大皇帝准将香港一岛，给予英国君主暨嗣后世袭主位者，常远主掌，任便立法治理。

四、因饮差大臣等于道光十九年二月间，将英国领事官及民人等，强留粤省，吓以死罪，索出鸦片，以为赎命。今大皇帝准以洋银六百万圆，补偿原价。

五、凡英国商民，在粤省贸易，向例全归额设商行亦称公行者承办，今大皇帝准其嗣后不必仍照向例，凡有英商等赴各该口贸易者，勿论与何商交易，均听其便。且向例额设行商等，内有累欠英商甚多，无措清还者，今酌定洋银３００万元，作为商欠之数，由中国官为偿还。

六、钦差大臣等向英国居民人等，不公强办，致须拨发军士，讨求伸理，今酌定水陆军费洋银１２００万元，大皇帝准为补偿。惟自道光二十一年６月１５日以后，英国在各城收过银两之数，按数扣除。

七、以上酌定银数，共２１００百万元，此时交银６００万元，癸卯年６月间交银３００万元，１２月间交银３００万元，共银６００万元。甲辰年６月间交银２５０万元，１２月间交银２５０万元，共银５００万元。乙巳年６月间交银２００万元，１２月间交银２００万元，共银４００万元。自壬寅年起，至乙巳止，４年共交银２１００万元。但按期未能交足，则酌定每年每１００元应加息５元。

八、凡系英国人，无论本国、属国军民等，今在中国管辖各地方被禁者，大皇帝准即释放。

九、凡系中国人，前在英国人所据之邑居住者，或与英人有来往者，或有跟随及伺候英国官人者，均由大皇帝俯降谕旨，誊录天下，恩准免罪。凡系中国人为英国事被拿监禁者，亦加恩释放。

十、前第二条内，言明开关，俾英国商民居住通商之广州等五处，应纳进口出口货税、饷费，均宜秉公议定则例，由部颁发晓示，以便英商按例交纳。今又议定：英国货物，自在某港按例纳税后，即准由中国商人，遍运天下，而路所经过，税关不得加重税例，只可照估价则例若干，每两加税不过某分。

十一、议定英国住中国之总管大员，与中国大臣，无论京内京外者，有文书来往，用照会字样；英国属员，用申陈字样；大臣批复，用札行字样。两国属员往来，必当平行照会。

若两国商贾上达官宪，不在议内，仍用奏明字样。

十二、俟奉大皇帝允准，和约各条施行，并以此时准交之６００万元交清，英国水陆军士，当即退出江宁、京口等处江面，并不再行拦阻中国各省商贾贸易。至镇海之招宝山亦将退让。

惟有定海县之舟山海岛，厦门厅之鼓浪屿小岛，仍归英兵暂为驻守，迨及所议洋银全数交清，而前议各海口均已开关，俾英人通商后，即将驻守二处军士退出，不复占据。

十叁、以上各条，均关议和公约，应俟大臣等分别奏明大皇帝□笔批准，及英国君主判定后，即速相交，俾两国分执一册，以昭信守。惟两国相离遥远，是以另缮二册，先由钦差大臣等及英国公使，盖用关防印，各执一册为据，俾即日按照和约开载之条，施行妥办。
