shall send him immediately 10,000 
infantry and 2000 horse. If, on 
the other hand, her Imperial ma. 
jesty of all the Russias should find 
herself attacked or disturbed by 
any other power, and in whatever 
manner it may be, in the possession 
of her dominions and provinces, 
so that she should think it neces- 
sary to require the assistance of her 
ally, his Britannic majesty shall 
send her forthwith a squadron of 
twelve ships of war and of the 
line, carrying 708 guns, according 
to the following list :—-two ships of 
74 guns, making together 148 
guns, and the crews g60 men; six 
ships of 60 guns, making 360 guns, 
and the crews 2,400 men; four 
ships of 50 guns, making 200 guns, 
and the crews 1z0oo men. In the 
whole 12 ships, 708 guns, and the 
crews 4560 men. This squadron 
shall be properly equipped and 
armed for war. ‘These succours 
shall be respectively sent to the 
places which shall be specified by 
the requiring party, and shall re- 
main at his free disposal as long as 
hostilities shall last. 
5. But if the nature of the at- 
tack were such, as that the party 
attacked should not find it to his 
interest to demand the effective suc. 
cours, such as they have been sti- 
-pulated for in the preceding arti-’ 
cle, in that case the two high con- 
tracting powers have resolved to 
change “ft said succour into a pe- 
euniary subsidy ; ; that is to say, if 
his Britannic majesty should be at- 
tacked, and should prefer pecu- 
niary succours, her Imperial ima- 
jesty of all the Russias, after the 
requisition haying been previously 
made, shall pay to him the sum of 
coo,ooo rubles yearly, during the 
ANNUAL REGISTER, 1795. 
whole continuance of hostilities, 
to assist him to support the expences 
of the war; and if her Imperial 
majesty of all the Russias should 
be attacked, and should prefer pe. 
cuniary succours, his Britannic ma- 
jesty shall furnish hér with the 
same sum yearly, as long as hostili- 
ties shall last. 
6. If the party required, after 
having furnished the succour sti- 
pulated in the fourth article of 
this treaty, should be himself ar- 
tacked, so as to put him thereby 
under the necessity of recalling his 
troops for his own safety, he shall 
be at liberty to do so, after having 
informed the requiring party thereof 
two months beforehand. In like 
manner, if the party required were 
himself at war at the time of the 
requisition, so that he should be 
obliged to retain near himself, for 
his own proper security and de- 
fence, the forces which he is 
bound to furnish his ally in virtue 
of this treaty; in such case the 
party required shall be dispensed 
from furnishing the said succour, 
so long as the said nleteastty shaH 
last. 
‘fhe Russian auxiliary troops 
shall be provided with field artil- 
lery, animunition, and every thing 
ot which they may stand in need, 
in proportion to their number. 
They shall be paid and recruited | 
annually by the requiring court. 
With regard to the ordinary rations 
and portions of provisions and fo- 
rage, as well as quarters, they shail 
be then furnished to them by the 
requiring court, the whole on the 
footing upon which his own troops 
are or shall be maintained in the 
field or in quarters,
