410 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1814. 



along the confines of the villages 

 of Herchenbach, Ueberhosen, 

 Hilsbach, and Hall (leaving these 

 different places without the French 

 frontier) to the point where, taken 

 from Querselle, (which belongs to 

 France) the line which separates 

 the cantons of Arnwal and Ott- 

 weiller, reaches that which sepa- 

 rates those of Arnwal and Lebach ; 

 the frontier on this side shall be 

 formed by the line above marked 

 out, and then by that which se- 

 parates the canton of Arnwal from 

 that of Bliescastel. 



5. The fortress of Landau hav- 

 ing, prior to the year 1792, formed 

 an insulated point in Germany, 

 France retains beyond her fron- 

 tiers a part of the departments of 

 Mont Tonnerre and the Lower 

 Rhine in order to join the fortress 

 of Landau and its district to the 

 rest of the kingdom. The new 

 deraarkation, proceeding from the 

 point where, at Obersteinbach 

 (which remains without the French 

 frontier), the frontier enters the 

 department of the Moselle, and 

 that of Mont Tonnerre, joins the 

 department of the Lower Rhine, 

 shall follow the line which sepa- 

 rates the cantons of Wissenburgh 

 and Bergzabern (on the side of 

 France) from the cantons of Pir- 

 masens, Dahn, and Anweiler, (on 

 the side of Germany) to the point 

 where these limits, near the village 

 of Wohnersheim, touch the an- 

 cient district of the fortress of 

 Landau. Of this district, which 

 remains as it was in 1792, the new 

 frontier shall follow the arm of the 

 river Queich, which in leaving 

 this district near Queichheim 

 (which rests with F ance), passes 

 near the villages of Merlenheim, 

 Kniltelsheim, and Belheim (also 



remaining French), to the Rhine, 

 which thence continues the boun- 

 dary between France and Ger- 

 many. As to the Rhine, the 

 Thalveg, or course of the river, 

 shall form the boundary ; the 

 changes, however, which may 

 occur in the course of the river, 

 shall have no effiect on the pro- 

 perty of the isles which are found 

 there. The possession of these 

 isles shall be replaced under the 

 same form as at the period of the 

 treaty of Luneville. 



G. In the Department of the 

 Doubs, the frontier shall be drawn, 

 so as to commence above La Ran- 

 conniere, near the Loell, and fol- 

 low the crest of the Jura between 

 Cerneaux Pequignot and the vil- 

 lage of Fontenelles, so far as that 

 summit of the Jura which lies 

 about seven or eight miles to the 

 north-west of the village of La 

 Brevint!, where it will turn back 

 within the ancient limits of 

 France. 



7. In the def)artment of the 

 Leman, the frontiers between the 

 French territory, the Pais deVaud, 

 and the diff'erent portions of the 

 territory of Geneva, (which shall 

 make a part of Switzerland), re- 

 main as they were before the in- 

 corporation of Geneva with France. 

 But the canton of Frangy, that of 

 St. Julien (with exception of that 

 part lying to the north of a line to 

 be drawn from the point where 

 the river of La Laire enters near 

 Chancey into the Genevese ter- 

 ritory, along the borders of Sese- 

 guin, Laconex, and Sesenenve, 

 which shall remain without the 

 limits of France), the canton of 

 Regnier (with exception of that 

 portion which lies eastward of a 

 line following the borders of the
