made on a war establishment, the 

 rate of payments shall be reduced 

 in the proportion specified in the 

 lists annexed to this convention, 

 in the event of the legion being 

 subsidized by Great Britain, when 

 circumstances shall allow of its 

 being placed upon a peace estab- 

 lishment. 



Art. VIII. All payments to be 

 made in virtue of the present con- 

 vention, shall be calculated in 

 Prussian money, at the rate of 

 eight gros current money, for one 

 shilling sterling or three shillings 

 per thaler. 



The expences of exchange and 

 bills shall be regulated each month 

 according to the course of ex- 

 change most generally established 

 by merchants upon the continent, 

 at the time of payment, and every 

 bill of exchange shall be accompa- 

 nied by a note of the state of ex- 

 change certified by two bankers. 



Art. IX. The prices and pay 

 which form the basis of this ar- 

 rangement, having been calculated 

 in silver roubles and gold crowns, 

 the two high contracting parties 

 agree to determine the value of a 

 gold crown, in order to regulate 

 the rates of pay, and the price of 

 the other objects set down in the 

 lists, in the current money of

 is therefore, by the present article, 

 fixed at one rix-thaler, two gros, 

 and eight pfennings current money

 ror consents to cede to his Britan- 

 nic majesty, either in his charac-

 ver, the property of the legion, if 



the circumstances of the war should 

 induce his majesty the King to dc

 the capiculation, granted by his im- 

 perial majesty, to the individuals 

 who compose the legion. 



Art. XI. Individuals invalided 

 by sickness, or in consequence of 

 wounds, shall receive their pay at 

 the same rate as invalids in the 

 Prussian army. The payment shall 

 be made by the powers in whose 

 service the GermanLegion shall be, 

 at the time of the invalids retiring 

 from service, so that his majesty 

 the Emperor takes upon himself 

 the payment of these pensions, un- 

 til the period when the legion 

 shall pass into the service of Great 

 Britain, or into that of the Elec- 

 tor of Hanover, according to the 

 tenor of article X. 



Art. XII. The present conven- 

 tion shall remain in force, during 

 the continuance of the present 

 war ; and if at a period of a defi- 

 nitive peace, the legion still conti- 

 nues a Russian corps, subsidized by 

 Great Britain, a month's subsidy 

 shall be paid to it, as also at the 

 rate of one month's subsidy for 

 every fifty German miles which 

 the legion shall have to march to 

 the Russian frontier, or to the 

 place of its being disbanded, or of 

 its ulterior destination beyond the 

 Russian frontier. 



Art. XIII. Should there remain 

 any other objects to be adjusted 

 relative to the legion, that shall 

 not have been arranged and pro- 

 vided for in the present conven- 

 tion, the high contracting parties 

 reserve to themselves, to cause
