their erection, and partly the 
means which these States possess 
or may acquire through the pre- 
sent Treaty. In consequence of 
these principles, 
The King of the Netherlands 
receives 60 millions ; the King of 
Prussia 20 millions; the King of 
Bavaria, or any other Sovereign 
of the country bordering on 
France between the Rhine and the 
Prussian territory, 15. millions; 
the King of Spain, 72 millions ; 
the King of Sardinia, 10 millions. 
Of the remaining 25 millions, 5 
millions are destined for the for- 
tifications of Mentz; and for the 
building of a new League Fortress 
on the Upper Rhine, 20 millions. 
The application of these sums 
shall take place according to plans 
and regulations which the Allied 
Powers shall settle in that behalf, 
Art. III. After the deduction 
of the sums destined for fortifica- 
tions, there remain 5624 millions, 
appropriated for indemnities, 
the partition of which shall take 
place as follows: 
Art. IV. Although all the Allied 
States have displayed equal zeal 
and devotedness to the common 
cause, yet there are some who, 
like Sweden, dispensed from all 
active co-operation, from the first, 
and on account of the difficulty of 
transporting her troops across the 
Baltic, have made no efforts; or, 
who, actually making such, like 
Spain, Portugal, and Denmark, 
were prevented, by the rapidity of 
events, from actually contributing 
tothe result. Switzerland, which 
has done very essential service to 
the common cause, did not accede 
to the treaty of the 25th of March 
under the there expressed condi- 
. tions, like the other powers. As

to these States, they find thems 
selves in a different situation, — 
which does not permit them to be 
classed with the other allied States, — 
according to the number of their 
troops ; it has, therefore, been 
agreed, that they shall receive, as — 
far as circumstances will permit, 
an equitable indemnity, and that — 
the sum of 122 millions shall, 
with that view, be divided among 
them, in such way that Spain — 
shall receive five millions, Por- 
tugal two millions, Denmark two 
millions and a half, Switzerland 
three millions—Total, 12! mil- 
lions. 
Art. V. As the burthen of the 
war fell chiefly on the armies un- ~ 
der the command of the Duke of 
Wellington and Prince Blucher, 
and these armies besides took 
Paris, it is therefore agreed, that 
out of the French contributions, 
asum of 25 millions shall be as- 
signed to Great Britain, and 25 
millions to Prussia, without pre- 
judice to the arrangements which 7 
Great Britain may conclude, in — 
regard to the sum thus coming to 
her, with the Powers whose troops 
formed part of the Duke of Wel- 
lington’s army. 
Art. VI. The 500 millions, 
which still remain, after the de» 
duction of the sums fixed in the 
preceding articles, shall be so di- 
vided that Prussia, Austria, Russia, 
and England shall each receive a 
fifth. 
Art. VII. Although the States, 
who acceded to the treaty of the 
25th of March last, set on foot a 
less number of troops than each 
of the Allied Chief Powers, it is 
nevertheless determined, that no — 
regard shall be paid to this: ine- 
quality. In consequence, these
