SUBSTANCE tiF TREATIES
BETWEEN HIS BRITANIC MAJESTY AND TttE

FEIIORS OF AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA, AND THU: KING

OF PRUSSIA, ERSPECTIVELY SIGNED AT VIENNA,
bx THE 25T/I OF MARCH, 1815.

His i►Majesty the King of the United
_Kingdom
of Great. Britain_ and Ireland,- and his Majesty the

•
haying taken into-consideration
the consequences which the invasion of France by
Napoleon Buonaparte, anal the victual situation
of that kingdom, may produce witlrrespect to the
safety of 'Europe ; have resolved, in conjunction
with his Majesty the, &c.-&c. &c. to apply to that
important circumstance the priaciplesflonsearate-d
by the Treaty of Chaumont.
They have consequently resolved to renew, by
a solemn Treaty, signed separately by each of the
lola Powers with each of tlie'lliree others, the
engagement to preserve, against every attack, the
order of things so happily established- in Europe,
and to debermine.ttpon the most effectual meaus(if
fulfilling that engagement, as well as of giving it
all the extension which the present circumstances
so imperiously call for. _ .

Are. 1. The High Contracting Parties above
mentioned, solemnly engage to unite the. resources'
of their respective StateS for the purpose of main-
taining entire the conditions- of the Treaty of
Peace concluded at Paris the 30th of May, 1514;
as also, the stipulations determinedlipon and sign-
ed at.the Congress' of Vienna, with a view to
complete the. disposition of that Treaty, to pre-
serve
,them against all infringement, -and particu-
larly against the designs of Napoleon Buonaparte,
For this purpose they engage, in the spirit of the
Declaration of the 13th March last, to direct in
common, and with one accord, should the case
require it,' all their effoas against him, and
against all those who sitauld already have joined
his faction, or shall hereafter join it, in order to
force him to desist from his projects, and tO ren-
der him unable to disturb in future the tratigiClity
of europe, and the general Peace, ander tilt- pro-
tection of which, the rights, the liberty, ti
tin-
dependence of nations, bad been ree,utly placed
and secured.

IL Although the means destined for the 'at-
tainment *of so great and salutary an object , ought
not to he subjected to limitation, -awl although
the'High Contracting Parties are resolved
votelhereto all those means which, in their re-
spective situations, they are enabled to dispose of,
they have nevertheless agreed to keep constantly
in the field, each, a force of 150,000 men com-.
`plete, including -el airy, in the proportion of at
least one-tenth, and a just proportion of artillery,
not reckoning garrisons; and to employ the same
actively and conjointly against the common enemy.
111. The High. Contracting Parties reciprocally
engage not to lay-down their anus but by common
consent„ nor before the object of the war, desig-
nated in the first Article of the .present Treaty,
shall have. been attained; nor until I3uonaparte
shall have been rendered absolutely unable to cre-
ate disturbance, and to renew his attempts for
po.isessing himself of the Supreme Power in
France. -

IV. The present Treaty being principally ap.r.
piicable to the present circumstances, thestipu-
lations of the Treaty of Chaumont, and particu-
larly those-contained in the 16th Article of the
same, shall be ag•tin in force, as soon as the ob-
ject actually in vier shall have been attained.

V___Wilatever relates to the command •of the
_Combined Armies, to suprlies, &c. shall be regu-
lated by a pa,rticular-Convention.
VI. The nigh Contracting Parties shall be al-
lowed respectively' to accredit to the Generals
commanding their armies, Offireys, who shall have
the liberty of corresponding with their Govern-
ments, for the purpose of, giving information of
military events, and of every thing relating to
,the operations of the armies.

VII; The engagements entered into by the pre-
sent Treaty, having for their object the mainte-
nance of the general Peace, the High Contracting
Parties agree to invite all tht:Powers of Europe to.
accede to the same.

VIII: The present Treaty having no other end
in view but to support France, or any other coun-
try which may be invaded, against the enterprises
of Buonaparte and his adherents, his Most Chris-
tian Majesty shalL be specially invited to accede
hereunto ; and, in the event of his Majesty re-
quiring the forces stipulated w the second Article,
to make known what assistance-circumstances will
allow him to bring forward in furtherance of the
object of the present Treaty.
Separate Articie.—As circumstances might pre-
vent his Majesty.the King of the United Kim g-
(lOfli of Great Britain and Ireland troni keeping
constantly in the field the number of troops spe-
cified in the second Article, it is agreed,. That his
Britaunick Majesty shall have the option, either
of furnishing his contingent in men, or ofpaying
at the rate of thirty pounds sterling per annuli for
each cavalry soldier,. and twenty pounds per-an-
mina for each infantry soldier, that may be want-
ing to complete the number stipulated in the se-
cond Article. •

ancestors nature in vain giver you the bulwark of the
amithat invincible incompatibility of character-which
forms a bather still more insurmountable ?—No !: No ! May
ail foreign domination disappear faint the soil of Italy!
" Formerly masters of the world, you have expiated that
fatal•glory by au oppression of twenty ages. Let yourglore
now be to sidnuit no more to toasters., Every people ought
to retain itself within those limits that nature has establish-

Never hope to infringe them, but repel the foreigner who
shall infringe theta, and compel him to restrain him Self within

for liberty ! Let-the whole stretigti: of the. Notion-display it-
self in all its energy ansl-• its. every fond! - Now is the titre to
learn whether Italy shall be free; or whether for ages"she shall
still remain bent utider the yoke of servitude. Let the struggle
be decisive, and we shall have established, for a long series of-
years, the happine'ss- of our -fine country—of that .colontry,

wasmecesSary that yon should be convinced by recent experi-

and vanity-7-how much their protnises were illusions add lies.
Fatal and deplorable experience ! I call. you to witness, ye
nobie and unfortunate Italians of Milan, of Bologna, of Turin,
of Venice, of Brescia, of Modena, of Iteg,zio, :and of so many
other celebrated cities, how many valiant ...arriors arid, virtu-

you ! How many'groail- in fetters! Ho* many are the vie-
Aims of unheard-of exactions and humiliations!

" Italians !, you must put an end to these calamities:. Rise
and march in the strictest union. While your courage shall
ensure your external ifidependeocs; a kovernment of your
choice, a true national representation, a-constitution worthy
of you and of the age should guarantee your internal libehy
and protect your property. I call' upon all the brave to come

reflected on the wants of their country, that in the silence of
passion they may prepare a cowititution and laws which hence-
forth should govern happy anthindependent Italy.
