The French government having by the &C.
cupation of Swedish Pomerania committed
an act OF hostility against the Swedish go-
vernmeat, and oy the movement of its ar,
mics having rlenaced the tranquility Of the
empire of Russia, the Contracting Parties
eaga5e to make diversion against France
and her Allies, with combined force of Is.
or $1,000 Swedes and of Is or 10000 Rus
slams, upon such point of the coast of Ger
many as may be judged most convenient for
that purpose.
AS the King of Sweden cannot make his
diversion in favor of the common cause con-
cistently with the security of his dominions,
SO long as he can regard the kingdom of
Norway as an enemy, His majesty the en-
percr OF Russia, engages either by negocia-
ton or by military cooperation to unite the
Kingdom of Norway to Sweden. He engages
moreover to guarantee the peaceable pos.
session of it to His Swedish Majesty.

consider the acquisition of Norway as a pre-
hminary military operation to the diversion
on the coast of Germany, and the emperor
of Russia promises to place for this object at
tue disposal. and under the immediate or
ders OF the Prince royal of Sweden, the corps
OF Russian troops above stipulated.
The contracting parties being unwilling.
ifit can be avoided, to make an enemy of
the king of Denmark, will propose to that
Sovereign to accede to this alliance, and will
offer to his Danish majesty to procure for
him complete indemnity for Norway by a
territory more Contiguous to his German
dominions, provided his Danish majesty will
cede forever his right OH the Kingdom of
Norway to the King of Sweden.
In case his Danish majesty shall refuse
this offer, and shall have decided To remain
IN alliance with France, the two contracting
parties engage to consider Denmark as their
enemy.
AS it has been expressly stipulated that
the engagement of his Swedish majesty TO
operate with his troops in Germany in favor
OF the common cause, shall not take effect
until after Norway shall have been acouir
ed by Sweden, either by the cession OF the
king OF Denmark or iii consequence of milf
tary operations, his majesty the King of Swe
den engages to transport his army into Ger,
many, according TO plan of campaign to be
agreed upon, as soon as the above object
shall have been attained.
