HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF DENMARK.

GEORGE J. DE QUAADE, Commander of the Order of the
Dannebrog, of the Red Eagle, &0., Minister without a

portfolio ; and
HENRY A UGUSTUS THEODOR YON KAUFFMANN, COM-
mander of the Order of the Dannebrog, &c.
Who, having met in Conference at Vienna, and having
exchanged and verified their credentials, haw) agreed upon
the following a: tides :

Art. 1. There shall be henceforth and for evor peace and
friendship between their Majesties the King of Prussia, the
Emperor of Austria, and his Majesty the King of Denmark
—as also between their heirs and successors, their States
and subjects.
Art. 2. All treaties and agreements concluded between the
high contracting parties before the war are again made valid,
in so far as they are not abrogated or modified by the con-
tents of the present treaty.
Art. 3. His Majesty the King of Denmark renounces all
his rights over the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and
Lauenburg, in favour of their Majesties the King of Prussia
and the Emperor of Austria, binding himself to recognise
all decrees which their above-named Majesties may issue as
regards the said Duchies.
Art. 4. The cession of the Duchy of Schleswig includes
all the islands appertaining thereto, as well as the territory
on the mainlard.

To simplify the frontier line and to avoid the inconveni-
ences which arise from the position of the Jutland enclaves
situate in Schleswig, his Majesty the King of Denmark
makes over to their Majesties the King of Prussia and the
Emperor of Austria the Jutland possessions which lie to the
south of the south frontier line of the district of Ribe, viz.,
the Jutland territory of Moegel-Tondern, the island Amrom,
the Jutland portion of the isles of Fohr, Sylt, and Romoe.
In return their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Em-
peror of Austria grant that an equivalent portion of Schles-
wig, which comprises besides the island of Aeroe such por-
tions of territory as serve to connect the above-named dis-
trict of Ribe with the rest of Jutland, and to regulate the
frontier line between Jutland and Schleswig on the Kolding
side, shall be separated from the Duchy of Schleswig and
incorporated in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Art. 5. The new frontier between the Kingdom of Den-
mark and the Duchy of Schleswig starts from the middle
of the Bay of fiejlsininde, in the Little Belt, and after tra-
versing that bay it follows the south border of the parishes
of Hejls, Vejetrup, and Taps ; it follows the latter until it
reaches the water which is situate south of Gejlbjerg and
Bramore ; it then follows that stream from its mouth in the
Fovs-Aa along the south boundary of the parishes of Oedis
and Vandrup, and thence along the south boundary of the
latter to the Konge-As, to the north of Holte. From this
point the valley of the Kenge-Aa will form the boundary line
as far as the astern limit of the parish of lijortlund. From
this point the line follows the same boundary till it reaches
the promontory north of the village Obekjar and then the
east boundary of that village to the Gjels-Aa. From thence
the east boundaries of the parishes Seem, Ribe, and Vester
Vedstedt form the new frontier line which in the North Sea
will run in equal distance between the islands Monoe and
Romoe.

In consequence of this new frontier line both parties agree
to regard as annulled all claims and titles, as well civil as
religious, which have hitherto prevailed in the enclaves on
the islands and in the mixed parishes. Consequently the
new sovereign power whl enjoy its full rights in this re-
spect in every portion of territory separated by the new
frontier line.

Art. 6. An international commission, composed of the
representatives of the high contracting Powers, will be
charged, immediately after the change of the ratifications
of the present treaty, with settling upon the spot the line
of the new frontier, in accordance with the stipulations of
the preceding Article.
This commission will also have to apportion the expenses
of con:tructing the new road from Ribe to Tondern between
the Kingdom of Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig, in
proportion to the extent of the respective territory it will
pass through. The same commission will preside at the
division of the real estate and property which has hitherto
belonged in common to the districts or communes inter-
sected by the new frontier.
Art. 7. The stipulations of Articles 20, 21, and 22 of the
treaty concluded between Austria and Russia upon the 3d
of May, 1816, which forms an integral part of the general
act of the Vienna Congress (stipulations with regard to
proprietors of mixed lands, to the rights they exercise, and
to the relations of neighbours upon landed properties
bisected by frontiers), shall be applied to the landed pro-
prietors and possessions in Schleswig and Jutland which
are in the cases provided for by the above-mentioned regu-
lations of the Vienna Congress.
Art. 8. To obtain a fair distribution of the national debt
of the Danish Monarchy in proportion to the respective po•
pulations of the Kingdom and of the Duchies, and to pro-
vide at the sama time against the invincible obstacles which
a detailed explanation of mutual rights and claims would
occasion, the high contracting Powers have settled the
round sum of 29 million thalers (Danish currency) as the
share of the national debt of the Danish Monarchy falling
to the charge of the Duchies.

Art. 9. The share of the national debt of the Danish
Monarchy with which the Duchies are charged in accord-
ance with the preceding articla shall be paid under the
guarantee of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the
Emperor of Austria, as the debt of the three above-named
Duohies, to the Kingdom of Denmark, within the period of
a year, reckoned from the definitive organisation of the
Duchies, or if possible still earlier. To defray this debt the
Duchies may avail themselves, wholly or in part, of one or
other following methods of payment :-
1. Payment in hard cash, 75 Prussian thalers being taken
as an equivalent to 100 Danish rigsdalers.
2. Payment to the Danish Treasury in 4 per cent. non-
returnable bonds belonging
_to the internal debt of the
Danish monarchy.
3. Payment to the Danish Treasury in new State debt
bonds to be issued by the Duchies, the value of which shall
