Government has inserted the following
oihcial articles in a supplement to the Court
Gazette published yesterday:
"fhe councillor of state Pierre D'Ou-
oril, departing early in the month OF May
Tor Paris, TO succour the Russian prisoners,
received az the same time instructions for
the occasion, which might present itself to
effect a reconciliation between Frauce and
Russia. He has returned hither with ex-
traordinary diligence, bearing a treaty of
peace which he had concluded and signed
on the Goth July with General Clarke, pie
|nipotcntiary of the French government.
As much as that event would have been
agreeable TO his Imperial majesty, if this
treaty had been suitable to his majcsty's
dignity, to his engagements with his allies,
to the safety Of his subjects and to the gen
erai rcpose of Europe: so much the more
has 1t been disagreeable to him to see that
III no respect have his just and benevolent
intentions been answered.
Z" his treaty IS OF the following tenor !:
cart l. From the date hereof there shall
|fe perpetual peace and good friendship be-
fween his majesty the Emperor OF the
French, King OF Italy, and his Imperial ma =
Iesty the Emperor of Russia, their heirs and
successors, estates and subjects.
2. In execution the first article, hosti-
liues both by land and sea shall Immediate
~ cease between the two nations. Theme
cessary orders to this effect shall in conse-
quence be forwarded in "a hours from
the signing of this treaty. All ships of war
and other vessels belonging to either power,
or to their subjects, which may be taken in
any part ofthe world by the subjects of the
other, shall be restored to the right own
crs.
3. The Russian troops shall give ND to
tne French the country known by the name
OF the mouths Of the Catarro, which as be-
ing dependence on Dalmatia, appertains
TO his majesty the emperor of the French,
IN his quality of king of Italy agreeably to
the 9TH article of the treaty of Presburgh.
There shall be furnished to the Russian
troops every possible facility for their de-
parture from both the mouth of Catarro
and the Ragusan territory, the country of
the Montenegrns & from Dalmatia, where
yer the circumstance Of the war NAV have
placed them. Immediately after the trea-
ty shall be known, the military and naval
commandments OF both nations shall make i'm
concert the necessary dispositions for the
retreat of the troops and the surrender Of
the territory.
q. His majesty the emperor of the French,
king OF Italy DESTROYS of giving to mis- maics-
ty the emperor of Russia proof of his con-
ciliatory dispositions, consents, 1. That the
republic of Ragusa shall be restored to its
former independence, ON conditions that it
shall rs heretofore be under the protection
of the Ottoman Porte Cd, that no act of hos
tility shall take place from the day of the
date otthc present treaty, againstthc Mon
tenegrins whilst they remain peaceable as
subjects of the Ottoman Pore. They shall
be obliged Immediately to return to their
own flre-sides; and the emperor Napoleon
promises not to disquiet them that no en-
qniry shall be made respecting the part
they have taken in the hostilities against
Ragusa, her dependencies in the ajacent
country.
o.. The independence Of the republic of
the Seven Isles is acknowledged by the two
powers. The Russian troops who may be
at present in the Mediterranean shall form
a junction at the Ionian Isles. His majesty
the emperor Of Russia, TO give proof of
his pacific intention, shall not maintain
more than 1000 men of his troops, which
however shall not depart from .theuce as
soon as his imperial majesty shall deem it
eXpedient.
Cit is PROMISE J, on both sides, that no.
thing shslioe done to injure the indepen-
