labour in concert on the measures 

 v/liicli shall appear to them most, 

 proper for the maintenance of 

 peace in Europe; and in case the 

 states of either of them shall be 

 menaced by an invasion, they will 

 employ their most effectual good 

 offices for the prevention thereof. 



Art. IV. As the good offices, 

 however, which they promise each 

 other, may not have the desired 

 effect, their imperial majesties bind 

 themselves henceforward to assist 

 each other with a corps of 60,000 

 men, in the event of either of them 

 being attacked. 



Art. V. This army shall be com- 

 posed of 50,000 infantry, and 

 10,000 cavalry. It shall be pro- 

 vided with a corps of field-artille- 

 ry, with ammunition, and every 

 other necessary ; the whole pro- 

 portioned to the number of troops 

 above stipulated. The auxiliary ar- 

 my shall arrive at the frontiers of 

 tlie power who shall be attacked 

 or menaced by an invasion of his 

 possessions, two months at the far- 

 thest after the requisition has been 

 made. 



Art. VI. The auxiliary army 

 shall be under the immediate com- 

 mand of the general in chief of the 

 army of the power requiring it ; 

 it shall be conducted by a general 

 of its own, and employed in all 

 the military operations according 

 to the rules of war. The pay of 

 the auxiliary army shall be at the 

 charge of the power required ; the 

 rations and portions of provisions, 

 forage, &c. as well as the quar- 

 ters, shall be furnished by the 

 power requiring, as soon as the 

 auxiliary army shall have passid 

 its own frontiers, and that on the 

 same footing as tlie latter supplies 

 or siiall supply its own troops in 

 the field and in quarters. 



Art. VII. The order and inter- 

 nal military economy of these 

 troops shall solely depend on their 

 own proper chief. The trophies 

 and the booty which shall be taken 

 from the enemy, shall belong to 

 the troops which shall have taken 

 them. 



Art. VIII. In the event that the 

 stipulated succour shall be insuffi- 

 cient for that one of the two high 

 contracting parties who shall have 

 been attacked, his majesty the 

 emperor of Austria, king of Hun- 

 gary and Bohemia, and liis ma- 

 jesty the emperor of all the Rus- 

 sias, reserve to themselves, to come 

 to a mutual understanding, with- 

 out loss of time, on the furnish- 

 ing of more considerable aids, ac- 

 cording to the exigency of the 

 case. 



Art. IX. The high contracting- 

 parties reciprocally promise each 

 other, that in the event that either 

 of the two shall be compelled to 

 take up arms, he will not conclude 

 either peace or truce, without 

 therein including his ally, in or- 

 der that the latter may not himself 

 be attacked in resentment of the 

 succour which he shall have fur- 

 nished. 



Art. X. Orders shall be trans- 

 mitted to the ambassadors and mi« 

 nisters of the high contracting 

 parties at foreign courts, to afford 

 each other, reciprocally, their good 

 offices, an;' to act in perfect con- 

 cert in all occurrences in which 

 the interests of their masters shall 

 be involved. 



Art. XI. As the two high con- 

 tracting parties, in forming this 

 treaty of amity and alliance pure- 

 ly defensive, have no other object 

 but that of reciprocally guarantee- 

 ing to each other their possessions, 

 and of securing, as far as depends
