SECRET TREATY OF THE THREE
NORTHERN POWERS.


SEC RET TREATY OF THE THREE
NORTHERN POWERS.
1t will be recoIIected that few weeks ago
several journals, both in Germany and in this
country, published an analysis of a series of
notes exchanged between the Cabinets Of St.
Petersburg, Vienna, and Berlin, on the subject
OF the present position of France, and more
especially with respect to the double eventu-
allty OF the establishment of an elective or an
hereditary empire. The conclusion to be
drawn from these notes was, that in the event
OF the establishment in France of an elective
or personal empire, the change being merely
nominal, and the state of matters remaining in
reality whit it was before, the Powers might
be disposed, for the sake of the peace of Eu-
rope, TO make further sacrifice of their feel
lngs. by acknowledging it as Government de
Jdeto; but that in the event Of an attempt 10
establish an hereditary Government, the Pow
ers felt 1t their duty, as it was also their de-
termination, to act very differently, and that
they were resolved never to permit so fagrunt
a violation of existing treaties and Of public
law. As long as member OF the House Of
Bourbon should exist, the Powers were re.
solved, IT the question of right to the throne OF
France should arise. not to tolerate it's being
taken possession OF by usurper. To allow
that would be to infict mortal blow on all
the destinies of Europe. Such is the resume
OF the numerous notes exchanged bv the three
Northern Powers, in the mouths of February
March, and April. In the beginning of May
II was agreed that these notes should be made
the foundation of regular treaty between the
two Emperors and the King of Prussia, and
accordingly this treaty, which is dated the Doth
OF May, 1892. has been signed, ratified, and ex.
changed. We are now enabled to give an
analysis OF this important document, which
has not yet appeared in any journal.
This convention, like the treaty of the 25th
OF September, 1915, is placed by three SoYe-
reigns under the invocation of the most holy
and undivided Trinity. Their Mejeslies The
Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and
the Emperor of Russia, considering

responsibility and interest (soiidarite) between
all European States; considering also that ss

represents the hereditary right, and the present
head OF that house is the Count hide Cambotd;
that tie power exercised by NJ. Louis N DC.

cannot even prop itself up with the preten ed
right OF the Emperor Napoleon, since The la
ter voluntarily renounced, by the first article Of
The treaty OF Fontainebleau, "for himself, his
successors, and descendants as well as for each
member OF his family, all the rights of sovef-
elgnty and domination, as well over the French
nation aud the kingdom of Italy, as over any
other country; that, according TO the rules q

power of the President OF the French Repub-
lie is the negation of hereditary right For all
these motives, and for many Others which il il
useless to enumerate, The subscribers to the
present convention consider ii their duty TO
determine beforehand, and BY common accord,
the conduct which they ought to hold in the
event that one or other of The eventualities
above enumerated should present themselves.
In the case that the Prince Louis Bonaparie,
present President of the French Republic,
should get himself elected by universal suffrage
as Emperor for life, the Powers will not recog
niZe that new form Of elective power Ill! ats%y
explanations shall have been demanded from
Prince Louis Bonaparte as to the sense and
meaning of this new title, and after he shall
have taken an engagement-first, to respect the
treaties; secondly, not to enGeav0r to extend
the territorial limits of France; and thirdly,
formally to renounce all pretension to the con-
tinuation or founding of a dynasty.
In the case that the Prince Louis Bonaparte
should declare himself hereditary Emperor, the
Powers will not recognize the new Emperor,
and will address to the French Government, as
we'll as TO all the other European Govern
ments, protest, founded on the principle Of
public law, and on the letter of the ireaties.-
They will afterwards consult, according 10
the circumstances. as to the ulterior mea-
sures which they may think it necessary To
take.
In the case that popular or military move,
ment should overturn the Government a
Prince Louis B0naparte, or simply ia the case
of the death OF that parsonage, The powers bind
and oblige themselves to aid and favor by ali
means ia their power The restoration OF the
legitimate heir OF the Crown, and in the sequel
they will recognize no other dynasty batIaaI
OF the Bourbops aud no other claimant than
NJ. Count de Chambord. La acting thus, they
protest befoi ehand against the impuiation oi
wishing to attack the independence oil France.
France may organize her internal government
asishe chooses, and he Powers DO not gejeci
the system called constitutional any more than
they reject any ether system. But the recog~
milton OF legitimate and hereditary ROY ai. Goes
