DECLARATION.
G. NJ. TALLEYRAND.

he Flllt OOhlul or the frencH Nepu0-
lie, animated with the deire Of contri-
butipg to the conlolidstion Of The rePofe
and tranquility of the German Empire,
has thought that nc means were more CAL
culated to obtain that effect Of his lolici-
tude, than thole Of fixing by plan ofin-
demnity, adapted, as far as circuInfan-
ces would permit, to the respective inseT-
efs, an arrangement proper to produce
this ialutary effect; and concurrence of
views having been efablihed upon this
fubjett between the Firf Confu of the
Republic ard his Imperial Majefy of all
the Ruflias, he has AUTHORIZED the Mini
Ger Of Foreign Affairs to concert with
The Miniaer Pienipotentiary of his Impe-
rial MajeAy CT RuGia, the means bef
calculated TO apply The principles adopted
for the!e indemnities, to the dlae,ent de-
nands Of the parties intcreaed. The re
fult of this work having obtained his ap-
probation, he has ordered the undersigned
TO make it known to the Diet of the En-
pire By the prelent Declaration mea-
fare TO which the Firit Conful of the Re
! publir, as well as his Imperial MajeRy,
have been impelled,by the following con-
alterations
The 9TH article Of the treaty Of Luue-
| Vile, having ftipulated that the heredi-
tary princes, whole poaefions are COM
prifed in the ceiion made to the French
Republic Of the countries ftuated on the
left bank of the Rhine, fhould be indem~
| nided, it has been agreed thar conforma-
bly, 10 what had been decided at the con-
greis of Raltadt, this indemnity lhould
be effected by means Of fecularizations !;
bar though perfectly agreed upon the ba-
ifs of the indemnify, the fates inteFeeed
have remained 70 oppodte in views with
relpest to the difribusion, that it has hi
therto appeared to be inpolilble 20 pro-
coed to the execution OF the before-men-
toned article of the treaty of Luneville.
And though the Diet of the Empire
has named ipecial Commihion to direct
its attention to this important buiineis,
we Zee by the delays which its attending
meets with, what obfacles the oppod-
ton of interefs and the. jealouiy of PIE
tenions place to the making the regula-
ton of the indemnities the fpon,aneous
act of the Germanic body.
1t is this that has induced the Firt Con
faI and the Emperor of Ruaia to think
that it became two powers perfectly DIFF
interefed to afford their mediation, and
to offer the deliberations of the Imperial
Diet general plan Of indemnify, drawn
up from the calculations of the greatet
impartiality, and in which the attention
has been directed both to con2enla,e tie
loaes recognized, and to preferve between
the principal houfes in Germany the ba-
lance that lubGaed before the war.
In confelusnce, after having examined
with the mott fcrupulous care, all the me-
MORALS, both upon the value Of the lohes, |
and upon the demand of indemnities pre-
tented by the parties intereited, it has been
agreed to propole, that the indemnities
fhaIl be attributed in the following man.

Tufcany AID its dependencies, the Arch
bihoprick of Saltzburgh, the ProvofihipI
