by the courfe of the Verfoix, and by a line which com¬ 
prehends the communes of Collex, Bofly, and Meyrin, 
leaving the commune of Ferney to France, fhall be ceded 
to the Helvetic Confederacy, in order to be united to the 
canton of Geneva. The line of the French cultom-houfes 
fhall be placed to the Weft of the Jura, fo that the whole 
of the Pays de Gex fhall be without that line. 
Fourthly, from the frontiers of the canton of Geneva 
as far as the Mediterranean, the line of demarcation (hall 
be that which, in the year 1799, feparated France from 
Savoy, and from the county of Nice. The relations 
which the Treaty of Paris, of 1814., had re-eftablifhed 
between France and the principality of Monaco, ihall 
ceafe for ever, and the fame relations fhall exift between 
that principality and his majefty the King of Sardinia. 
Fifthly, all the territories and diftrifts included within 
the boundary of the French territory, as determined by 
the prefent article, fhall remain united to France. 
Sixthly, the high contracting parties fhall name, within 
three months after the fignature of the prefent treaty, 
commiflioners to regulate every thing relating to the de¬ 
foliation of the boundaries of the refpeftive countries; 
and, as foon as the labours of the commiflioners fhall 
have terminated, maps fhall be drawn, and land marks 
fhall be erefted, which fhall point out the refpeftive limits. 
II. The fortreffes, places, and diftrifts, which, accord¬ 
ing to the preceding article, are no longer to form part 
of the French territory, fhall be placed at the difpofal of 
the allied powers at the periods fixed by the ninth article 
of the Military Convention annexed to the prefent Treaty; 
and his majefty the King of France renounces for himfelf, 
his heirs and fucceflbrs for ever, the rights of fovereignty 
and property which he has hitherto exercifed over the 
faid fortrefles, places, and diftrifts. 
III. The fortifications of Huninguen, having been 
conftantly an object of uneafinefs to the town of Bade, 
the high contracting parties, in order to give to the Hel¬ 
vetic Confederacy a new proof of their good-will, and of 
their folicitude for its welfare, have agreed among them- 
felves to demolifli the fortifications of Huninguen ; and 
the French government engages, from the fame motive, 
not to re-eftablifh them at any time, and not to replace 
them by other fortifications at a diftance of lefs than that 
of three leagues from the town of Bade. The neutrality 
of Swifterland fhall be extended to the territory fituated 
to the north of a line to be drawn from Ugine, that town 
being included to the fouth of the lake of Annacy, by 
Faverge, as far as Lecheraine, and from thence, by the 
lake of Bourget, as far as the Rhone, in like manner as 
it was extended to the provinces of Chablais and of Fau- 
cigny by the ninety-fecond article of the final Aft of the 
Congrefs of Vienna. 
IV. The pecuniary part of the indemnity to be furnifhed 
by France to the allied powers, is fixed at the f'um of 
700 millions of francs. The mode, the periods, and the 
guarantees, for the payment of thisfum, fhall be regulated 
by a Special Convention, which fhall have the fame force 
and effeft as if it were inferted, word for word, in the 
prefent treaty. 
V. The ftate of uneafinefs and fermentation which, 
after fo many violent convulfions, and particularly after 
the laft catailrophe, France mult ftill experience, notwith- 
ftanding the paternal intentions of her king, and the ad¬ 
vantages fecured to every clafs of his fubjefts, by the con- 
ftitutional charter, requiring, for the fecurity of the 
neighbouring dates, certain meafures of precaution, and of 
temporary guarantee; it has been judged indifpenlible to 
occupy, during a fixed time, by corps of allied troops, 
certain military pofitions along the frontiers of France, 
under the exprefs referve, that fuch occupation fhall in 
no way prejudice the fovereignty of his moft Chriftian ma¬ 
jefty, nor the ftate of poffeflion, fuch as it is recognized 
and confirmed by the prefent treaty. The number of 
thefe troops fhall not exceed 150,000 men. The com¬ 
mander-in-chief of this army fhall be [the Duke of Welling¬ 
583 
ton] nominated by the allied powers. This army (hill 
occupy the fortrefles of Conde, Valenciennes, Bouchain, 
Cambray, Quefnoy, Matibeuge, Landrecies, Avefnes, 
Rocroy, Givet, with Charlemont, Mezieres, Sedan, 
Montmedy, Thionville, Longwy, Bitfche, and the tete- 
du-pont of Fort Louis. As the maintenance of the army 
deftined for this fervice is to be provided by France a 
Special Convention fhall regulate every tiling which may 
relate to that objeft. This Convention, which fhall have 
the fame force and eftedt as if it were inferted word for 
word in the prefent treaty, fhall alfo regulate the relations 
of the army of occupation with the civil and military au¬ 
thorities of the country. The utmoft extent of the du¬ 
ration of this military occupation is fixed at five years. It 
may terminate before that period, if at the end of three 
years the allied fovereigns, after having, in concert with 
his majefty the King of France, maturely examined 
their reciprocal fituation and interefts, and the progrefs 
which fhall have been made in France in the re-eftablifh- 
ment of order and tranquillity, (hall agree to acknowledge 
that the motives which led them to that meafure have 
ceafed to exift. [In point of faft, the army of occupation 
was reduced in 1817 to 120,000 men, and was totally 
withdrawn at the end of 1818.] 
VI. The foreign troops, not forming part of the army 
of occupation, fhall evacuate the French territory within 
the term fixed by the 9th article of the military conven¬ 
tion annexed to the prefent treaty. 
VII. In all countries which fhall change fovereigns, as 
well in virtue of the prefent treaty as of the arrangements 
which are to be made in confequence thereof, a period of 
fix years, from the date of the exchangeof the ratifications 
fhall be allowed to the inhabitants, natives or foreigners 
of whatever condition and nation they may be, to difpofe 
of their property, if they fhould think fit to do fo, and to ' 
retire to whatever country they may choofe. 
VIII. All the difpofitions of the Treaty of Paris, of the 
30th of May 1814, relative to the countries ceded by that 
treaty, fhall equally apply to the feveral territories and 
diftrifts ceded by the prefent treaty. 
IX. The high-contrafting parties have caufed repre- 
fentation to be made of the different claims arifing out of 
non-execution of the 19th and following articles of the 
Treatyof the 30th of May, 1814, as well as of the Addi¬ 
tional Articles of that Treaty; figned between Great 
Britain and France, defiring to render more efficacious 
the ltipulations made thereby, and having determined 
by two feparate conventions, the line to be purfued on 
each fide for that purpofe, the faid two Conventions, as 
annexed to the prefent treaty, fhall, in order to lecure 
the complete execution of the above-mentioned articles 
have the fame force and effeft as if the fame were inferted , 
word for word, herein. 
X. All prifoners taken during the hoftilities, as well 
as all hoftages which may have been carried oft or given, 
fhall be reitored in the Ihorteft time poffible. The fame 
fhall be the cafe with refpeft to the prifoners taken pre- 
vioufly to the Treaty of the 30th of May, 1S14, and who 
fhall not already have been reitored. 
XI. The treaty of Paris, of the 30th of May, 1814, and 
the Final Aft of the Congrefs of Vienna, of the 9th of 
June, 1815, are confirmed, and fhall be maintained in all 
fuch of their enaftments as fhall not have been modified 
by the articles of the prefent treaty. 
XII. The prefent Treaty, with the Conventions an¬ 
nexed thereto, fhall be ratified in one aft, and the ratifi¬ 
cations thereof fhall be exchanged in the fpace of two 
months, or fooner if poffible. In witnefs whereof, the 
refpeftive plenipotentiaries have figned the fame, and 
have affixed thereunto the feals of their arms. Done at 
Paris, the 20th day of November, in the year of our
