CONVENTION BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY
AND THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
SIGNED AT LONDON, OCT. 22, 1832.

His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, and his Majesty the King of the French,
having been called upon by his Majesty the King of the Bel-
gians to carry into execution the stipulations of the treaty re-
lative to the Netherlands, concluded at London on the 15th of
November, 1831, the execution whereof, by the terms of the
25th article of the said treaty, has been jointly guaranteed by
their said Majesties, and by their Majesties the Emperor of Aus.
tria, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia;
Having besides, perceived that all the efforts made in com-
mon by the five Powers, parties to the said treaty, to accom.
plish its execution by means of negotiation, have been, up to
the present time, ineffectual ;
Being, moreover, convinced that any further delay in the
execution of the same would seriously endanger the general
peace of Europe, their said Majesties, notwithstanding the re.
gret which they experience at finding that their Majesties the
Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of
Russia, are not at present prepared to concur in the active
measures which are requisite for the execution of the said
treaty, have resolved to fulfil their own engagements in this
respect without further delay; and it is with the view of ar.
riving at that end, by immediately concerting the measures
best calculated for that purpose that their Majesties the King of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the King
of the French have named as their plenipotentiaries, viz.:—
His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, the Right Hon. Henry John Viscount Pal-
merston, Baron Temple, a Peer of Ireland, a member of his
said Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, a Member of
Parliament, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order
of the Bath, and his Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs.
And his Majesty the King of the French, the Sieur Charles
Maurice de Talleyrand Perigord, Prince Duke de Talleyrand,
a Peer of France, his said Majesty's Ambassador Extraordi-
nary and Plenipotentiary at the Court of his Britannic Ma-
jesty, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Knight of the
Order of the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of the Order of St.
Stephen of Hungary, of the Order of St. Andre, of the Order of
the Black Eagle, &c.
Who, after having communicated to each other their respec.
tive full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have
agreed upon and concluded the following articles :
Article 1. His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the King of the
French, will notify to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands,
and to his Majesty the King of the Belgians, respectively, that
it is their intention to proceed forthwith to starry into execution
the said treaty of the 15th of November, 1e:11, in conformity
with the engagements thereby contracted by them ; and, as a
first step towards the accomplishment of that purpose, their said
Majesties will require bis Majesty the King of the Netherlands to
enter, on or before the 2d day of the next ensuing month of No.
vember, into an engagement to withdraw, on or before the 12th
day of the same month of November, all his troops from the
territories which, by the first and second articles of the said
treaty, are to form the kingdom of Belgium, of which kingdom
the high contracting parties to that treaty have guaranteed the
independence and neutrality; and their said Majesties will
also require his Majesty the King of the Belgians to enter, on
or before the second day of the ensuing month of November,
into an engagement to withdraw, on or before the 12th day of
the same month, all his troops from the territories of his Ma.
jesty the King of the Netherlands ; so that after the 12th day
of November next, there shall be no Netherland troops within
the limits of the kingdom of Belgium, and no Belgian troops
within the territories of the King of the Netherlands ; and their
Majesties the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and the King of the French, will, at the same
time, declare to the King of the Netherlands, and to the King
of the Belgians, respectively, that if this requisition shall not
be complied with, their said Majesties will proceed, without
further notice or delay, to take such measures as may appear
to them necessary for enforcing the same.
2. If the King of the Netherlands shall refuse to enter into
the engagement mentioned in the foregoing article, their Ma.
jesties the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and the King of the French, will immediately cause
an embargo to be laid upon all Netherland vessels within the
ports of their respective dominions, and will order their re.
spective cruisers to detain and send in all Netherland vessels
which they meet with at sea ; and a combined British and
French squadron shall be stationed off the coast of Holland,
for the more effectual execution of this measure.
3. If on the 15th of November next ensuing the Netherland
troops should still continue within the Belgian territory, a
French force shall advance into Belgium for the purpose of
compelling the Netherland troops to evacuate the said terri.
tories, provided that the King of the Belgians shall have pre.
viously signified his wish for the entrance of such French
force into his dominions for the aforesaid purpose.
4. If the measure contemplated in the preceding article shall
become necessary, its object shall be confined to the expulsion
of the Netherland troops from the citadel of Antwerp and from
the forts and places dependent thereupon; and his Majesty
the King of the French, in his lively solicitude for the inde-
pendence of Belgium, as well as for that of ail established Go-
vernments, expressly engages that the French troops which
may be employed in such service shall not occupy any of the
fortified places of the kingdom of Belgium; that when the citadel
of Antwerp, and the forts and places dependent thereupon, shall
have surrendered, or shall have been taken, or shall have been
evacuated by the Netherland troops, they shall be immediately
delivered over to the mill: ary authorities of the King of the
Belgians ; and that the French troops shall thereupon forthwith
, retire within the French territories.

5. The present convention shall, be ratified, and the ratiOca.
