Treaty of Defensive Alliance between 
his Britannic Majesty and the Em- , 
press of Russia. Signed at St. Pe- 
tersburgh, February 18, 1795- 
IN the name of the Most Holy 
Trinity. His Britannic majesty, 
and her majesty the empress of alk 
the Russias, animated with a desire 
equally sincere to strengthen more 
and more the ties of friendship and 
good understanding which so hap- 
pily subsist between them and their 
respective monarchies, have thought 
that nothing would more effec- 
tually contribute to this salutary 
end than the conclusion of a ‘treaty 
of defensive alliance, concerning 
which they should occupy them- . 
selves forthwith, and which should 
have for basis the stipulations of 
similar treaties which have already 
been heretofore concluded, and 
have made the obje¢ts of the most 
intimate union between the two 
empires, For this .purpose their 
said majesties have named for their 
plenipe.
