 lity, they not only do not mean 

 thereby to invalidate in the least 

 the prior and particular engage-

 have contracted with their respec-

 reserve to themselves the liberty 

 of concluding, in future, other 

 treaties with other powers, which, 

 far from causing by their union 

 any detriment orhinderance to the 

 present, may communicate thereto 

 still more force and effect ; pro- 

 mising, however, at the same time, 

 not to contract any engagements 

 contrary to the present treaty, and 

 wishing rather, bycommon consent, 

 to invite and admit info it, other 

 courts which shall have the same 

 sentiments. 



Art. XII. The present treaty 

 shall be ratified by his imperial 

 and royal apostolic Majesty, and 

 by his imperial majesty of all the

 day of the signature, or sooner, if 

 possible. 



In testimony whereof, we the 

 undersigned plenipotentiaries have

 ers, the present treaty of amity and 

 defensive alliance, and have caused 

 to be affixed thereto the seal of 

 our arms.
