The Allied Powers having by their exertions,
and the triumph of their arms, .preserved France
and Enrope 'from the convulsions With whielt
they were threatened by the late enterpiise of
Napoleon Bunimparte, and by the revolutionary
system, introduced into France for its sup.p9rt, as
they now participate with his Most
jesty in the wish, by the•inviolablonnaintenanee.
of Royal dignity, and by restoring. thtt Nalidity of
the constitutional charter, to confirm the order
happily re-established in France., and to bring
back between France anti its neighbours those re-
lations founded upon reciprocal confidence and
good which the mournful consequences of
the revolution and system of conquest had so long
interrupted ; and as they are convinced chat their
last object cannot be attained, except by an ar-
rahgement calculated to give them just indemnity
for the past and solid security for the future, they
have, thergfore, in common with his Alajesty the,
King of France, deliberated on yettus of
bringing' about such an arrangememi, and :is: they„
have conyiuced themselves that the incleyttlitsy
to the Powers cannot consist wholly either
slobs of territory, or in pecuniary payntruts,with-;
, out greatly. injuring the essential iut.grests of
France itt
,one way or the Other, and that it is
better so to unite them, as to avoid both disad,
vantages.

Their Imperial and Royal Majesties have,
therefore; taken this as the basis of the .present
Ncgociations, and have also agreed upon it as a
basis,_that it is necessary, during. a .certain time,
to 'keel) the frontier provinces of France occupied
by a certain number of the allied troops,'and have
g tett{ to unite in a Definitive Treaty the'severl
dispositions founded Upon these 'rases;
In this view end to 'this end his rdajesty the
