Treaty realigns empires with rights to emigrate and restore colonies

An 1763 Paris treaty article set terms for restitution across empires. It details emigration allowances for British and Spanish subjects, deployment and inspection of ships, guarantees of religion for Spanish inhabitants, and the return of territories including Florida, St Augustine, Pensacola, and various Caribbean possessions. It also covers timing for evacuations, paper handovers, and adjustments to colonial borders, with provisions for passports and guards aboard ships and for the protection of debts and legal actions.
