11. The Emperor of Austria engages, in order to 

 ;>art of the cost incurred by Prussia in the war, 

 to pay the King of Prussia the sum of forty million 

 From this sum, however, shall be 

 deducted the amount of the war costs the Emperor 

 of Austria, by article 12 of the aforementioned Vienna 

 of October 30, 1864, has still to claim from the 

 Dudiies of Schleswig and Holstein i. e., fifteen mil- 

 , :ussian dollars, and, as an equivalent for the 

 free provisionment the Prussian array shall enioy in 

 the Austrian districts it occupies until the conclusion 

 of the peace, a further sum of five million Prussian 

 dollars, so that only twenty million Prussian dollars 

 remain to be paid in cash. Half of this sum shall be 

 defrayed in cash simultaneously with the exchange 

 of the ratifications of the present treaty ; the remain- 

 ing half, three weeks later at Oppeln. 



i he evacuation of the Austrian territories oc- 

 cupied by the Prussian troops shall be completed 

 within three weeks after the exchange of the ratifica- 

 tions of the peace treaty. From the day of the ex- 

 change of the ratifications the Prussian governing 

 generals will confine their functions to the purely 

 military sphere of action. 



18. All treaties and conventions concluded between 

 the contracting parties previous to the war. in so far 

 as they are not necessarily rendered invalid by the 

 dissolution of the Germanic Confederation, shall 

 herewith reSnter in force. The general cartel con- 

 vention between the German Federal States of Feb- 

 ruary 10, 1831, in especial, together with the supple- 

 mentary clauses belonging thereto, retains its valid- 

 ity between Prussia and Austria, Nevertheless the 

 Austrian Government declares that the coinage treaty 

 concluded January 24, 1857, loses its chief value to 

 Austria through the dissolution of the German Fed- 

 eral relation, and the Prussian Government declares 

 itself ready to mediate in negotiations for the discon- 

 tinuance of this treaty between Austria and the re- 

 maining participators in the same. The contracting 

 parties equally reserve to themselves to enter into 

 negotiation as early as possible for a revision of the 

 commercial and custom treaty of April 11, 1865, in 

 use of increased facilities to mutual traffic. In 

 the mean time the aforesaid treaty shall reunter in 

 force, with the understanding that it is reserved to 

 either of the contracting parties to terminate it after 

 six months' notice to that effect. 



The peace with Bavaria was signed at Berlin 

 on August 22d. Bavaria engaged to pay to 

 PrusMii thirty million florina in throe instal- 

 ments, the last instalment six months after the 

 exchange of ratifications. The navigation, dues 



on the Khino and Main were to cease on and 

 1807. The Bavarian telegraph stations 

 in the territory of the North Cermaii Confeder- 

 ation, aud in the Grand-duchy of Hesse, were 

 t r:in>ferrod to Prussia, Bavaria surrendered to 

 Prussia such documents in the archives of Barn- 

 berg as refer exclusively to the former burg- 

 graves of Nuremberg and the margraves of 

 Brandenburg of the Francouian line. In order 

 to settle Prussia's claim to the picture-gallery, 

 which was formerly at Dusseldorf, and was later 

 brought to Munich, Bavaria will designate three 

 German courts of appeal, from which one 

 will be selected by Prussia as arbiter. From 

 strategical and commercial reasons the frontier 

 is rectified by the union of a few Bavarian dis- 

 tricts to Prussia. (See BAVARIA.) 



The treaties with Wurtemberg, Baden, and 

 Hesse-Darmstadt were also concluded at Ber- 

 lin (July 12th, August 21th, September 3d). 

 "Wilrtemberg was to pay . eight million, Baden 

 six million, Hesse-Darmstadt five million florins. 

 Hesse-Darmstadt was to enter for its province 

 of Upper Hesse the North German Confedera- 

 tion, and cede to Prussia Ilesse-Homburg and 

 several other districts. (See HESSE-DARMSTADT.) 

 The following are the conditions of the treaty 

 between Austria and Italy, signed October 3d : 



The mutual exchange of all prisoners of war ; 

 Austria consents to the union of Yenetia with Italy; 

 the frontiers to be ceded to Italy are those which 

 constituted the administrative frontiers of Yenetia' 

 while under Austrian' domination. The military 

 commissioners appointed by the two contracting 

 powers, shall be charged to trace the line of demar- 

 cation with the shortest possible delay. The amount 

 of the debt assumed by Italy is 35,000,000 florins, 

 payable by eleven instalments, within a period of 

 twentv-three months. The Monte Lombardo-Vene- 

 tio is transferred to Italy, with its actual assets and 

 liabilities. Its assets are three and a half million 

 florins, and its liabilities 36,000,000 florins. With 

 regard to the Venetian railways, until a further ar- 

 rangement is arrived at, the revenues of the two net- 

 works of railway north and south of the Alps will be 

 allowed to accumulate in order to calculate the gross 

 revenue which should serve as a basis for the valuation 

 of the kilometric guaranty. The contracting parties 

 engage to prepare a convention, in which the railway 

 company would take a part, for the separation of the 

 two networks and the completion of the unfinished 

 railway. The Venetians residing in Austria are to 

 have the right of preserving their Austrian nation- 

 ality. All objects of art, as well as the archives be- 

 longing to Venetia, will be restored without excep- 

 tion. The iron crown of Lombardy will also Le 

 given up to Italy. The treaties which formerly sub- 

 sisted between Austria and Sardinia will again come 

 into force for one year, during which period fresh 

 arrangements can be concluded! Another provision 

 of the treaty stipulates for the restitution of the pri- 

 vate property belonging to the Italian ex-princes, 

 which has been sequestrated by the Italian Govern- 

 ment, with the reservation of the rights of the State, 

 of one-third. A complete amnesty will be accorded 

 by both Austria and Italy to all persons condemned 

 for political offences ; to deserters from either army ; 

 and to persons compromised bv their political con- 

 duct. The emperor also decided to renounce the 

 title of King of Lombardy and Venetia, and decreed 

 accordingly that in future it shall be omitted among 

 hi< mtjeaty'i other titles, whether the latter be fully 

 given or otherwise.
