Substance of Treaties between has 
Britannic Majesty and the Em- 
perors of Austria and Russia, 
and the King of Prussia, re- 
spectively ; signed at Vienna, on 
the 25th of March, 1815. 
His Majesty the King of the 
United Kingdom of Great Bri- 
tain and Ireland, and his Majesty 
the having taken into 
consideration the consequences 
which the invasion of France by 
Napolean Buonaparte, and the 
actual situation of that kingdom, 
may produce with respect to the 
safety of Europe, have resolv- 
ed, in conjunction with his Ma- 
jesty the, &c. &c. &c. to apply to 
that important circumstance, the 
principles consecrated by the 
Treaty of Chaumont. 
They have consequently resolv- 
ed to renew, by a solemn treaty; 
signed separately by each of the 
four Powers with each of the 
three others, the engagement to 
preserve, against every attack, 
the order of things so happily 
established in Europe, and to de- 
termine upon the most effectual 
means of fulfilling that engage- 
ment, as well as of giving it 
all the extension which the pre- 
sent circumstances so imperiously 
call for. 
Article I~ The High-Contract- 
ing Parties aboye-mentioned, so- 
367 
lemnly engage to unite the re« 
sources of their respective states 
for the purpose of maintaining 
entire the conditions of the treaty 
of peace concluded at Paris the 
30th of May, 1814; as also the 
stipulations determined upon and 
signed at the Congress of Vienna, 
with the view to complete the 
disposition of that treaty, to pre- 
serve them against all infringe< 
ment, and particularly against the 
designs of Napolean Buonaparte. 
For this purpose they engage, in 
the spirit of the declaration of the 
13th of March last, to direct in 
common, and with one accord, 
should the case require it, all their 
efforts against him, and against 
all those who should already have 
joined his faction, or shall here- 
after join it, in order to force him 
to desist from his projects, and to 
render him unable to disturb in 
future the tranquillity of Europe, 
and the general peace under the 
protection of which the rights, 
the liberty, and independence of 
nations had been recently placed 
and secured. 
Art. Il.—Although the means 
destined for the attainment of so 
great and salutary an object ought 
not to be subjected to limitation, 
and although the High Contract- 
ing Parties are resolved to devote 
therein all those means which, in 
theirrespective situations, they are 
enabled to dispose of, they have 
nevertheless agreed to keep con- 
stantly in the field, each, a force of 
150,000 men complete, including 
cavalry, in the proportion of: at 
least one-tenth, and a just pro- 
portion of artillery, not reckoning 
garrisons ; and to employ the same 
actively and conjointly against the 
common enemy.
