and
Monsieur

,
went
together
to
the
House
of
Monsieur

,
who

from

,
and
the
Swedish
Minister
resorting
thither
also
,
the
said
Ministers
,
Boreel
and
Dyckvelt
,
did
declare
to
the
Mediator
,
in
the
Presence
of
Monsieur
Cailleires
,
That
over
and
above
the

Preliminaries
,
it
was

That

,
the

,
it
was
agreed
,
that
the

and
Publick
Ministers
of
the
Allies

Reside
at
the
Hague
,
but
that
the
Ambassadors
of
the
most
Christian
King
should
make
their
Residence
at
Delft
;
and
that
the
Conferences
for
the
General
Peace
should
be
held
at
the
Castle
of
Ryswick
,
from
which
both
those
Towns
were
of
equal
Distance
.
A
Description
of
the
Palace
of
Ryswick
,
and
of
the
First
Conferences
that
were
held
there
.
BEfore
we
begin
to
give
the
Particulars
of
the
Conferences
held
there
,
or
produce
the
Acts
themselves
,
it
will
not
be
unnecessary
to
exhibit
a
Description
of
the
Palace
of
Ryswick
,
with
a
Prospect
or
external
View
,
and
a
Plan
or
Area
of
the
Inside
in
Sculpture
,
by
which
the
Reader
will
be
able
to
form
the
more
exact
Idea
of
the
Ceremonies
observed
at
the
Conferences
.
This
House
has
sometimes
the
Title
of
Newburgh
,
because
a
Duke
of
Newburgh
laid
the
first
Stone
of
it
,
when
Frederick
Henry
,
Prince
of
Orange
caused
it
to
be
built
:
It
is
situate
at
about
an
equal
Distance
between
the
Hague
and
Delft
,
a
Musquet
Shot
from
the
Village
of
Ryswick
,
and
but
a
little
way
Distant
from
the
Road
between
Delft
and
the
Hague
.
One
might
say
that
it
was
built
on
purpose
for
a
Place
of
Treaty
,
so
convenient
it
is
for
such
a
Work
;
as
will
be
seen
by
observing
the
Situation
of
the
Chambers
,
Galleries
,
and
Closets
,
as
they
are
laid
down
in
the
Draught
annexed
,
and
by
Figures
and
Letters
are
pointed
to
,
thus

,
in
a
Coach
with
six
Horses
;
he
had
with
him
Monsieur
Hespen
the
Duke
of
Wirtemberg's

.
All
these
Ambassadors
of
whom
I
have
now
spoken
,
arrived
in
less
than
a
quarter
of
an
Hours
time
,
that
is
,
from
four
till
a
quarter
of
an
hour
after
it
.
They
all
passed
over
the
first
Bridge
,
that
was
laid
over
the
Canal
before
the
House
,
and
came
in
at
the
first
Passage
made
in
the
Wall
which
incloses
the
Yard
.
The
Ambassadors
of
France
arrived
at
three
quarters
past
Four
,
with
three
Coaches
drawn
by
six
Horses
each
;
Monsieur
de
Harley
,
the
Count
de
Crecy
,
and
Monsieur
de
Callieres
,
with
Monsieur
de
Harlay
Counsellor
of
State
,
were
in
the
first

a
Gentleman
on
Horseback
riding

The
two
other
Coaches

Gentlemen

second
Gap

Chamber

and
that

the
French
Plenipotentiaries
usually
met

They
all

The
Emperor's
Ambassadors
were
the
first

retir'd
,
and
those
of
France
were
the
last
:
But
in
the
Regulations
it
was
before-hand
agreed
,
that
the
coming
or
going
away
first
or
last
was
to
be
lookt
upon
as
immaterial
,

be
drawn
into
any
Consequence
,
or
Precedency
.
They

HIS
Most
Serene
Highness
,
the
Duke
of
Lorain's
Plenepotentiary
,
having
Intelligence
that
they
had
begun
to
treat
with
Monsieur
Cailliere
,
then
in
Holland
,
about
the
Preliminaries
,
was
the
First
who
put
in
the
Pretensions
of
his
most
Serene
Master
,
even
before
the
Preliminaries
were
finish'd
and
agreed
upon
.
The
Memorial
Presented
by
the
Plenipotentiary
of
Lorain
,
and
read
in
the
Assembly
of
the
High
Allies
,
on
the
14th
of
January
,
1697.
THE
Queen
cannot
consent
that
a
Congress
be
held
concerning
a
Peace
,
before
the
Preliminaries
of
it
be
first
made
sure
and
setled
,
which
ought
not
to
be
regulated
according
to
the
Conditions
mentioned
in
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
.
I.
No
one
goes
to
it
but
with
the
Assurance
of
his
Preliminary
.
The
Emperor
to
have
Strasburgh
and
the
Re-Unions
restor'd
.
Spain
to
have
Luxembourgh
.
The
Bishop
of
Liege
to
have
Dinant
restored
.
This
is
the
Method
of
Treating
that
was
demanded
of
France
,
and
which
is
very
commendable
.
But
as
it
has
been
found
necessary
to
require
this
Security
beforehand
(
which
has
been
termed
a
Prelimenary
)
I
find
it
necessary
to
insist
upon
it
,
that
the
same
may
be
done
,
in
regard
to
the
Restitution
of
Lorain
.
Not
according
to
the
Terms
of
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
;
because
a
Restitution
on
such
Conditions
,
is
not
to
be
accepted
of
;
and
the
Queen
,
both
as
a
Mother
and
a
Guardian
of
her
Children
,
cannot
allow
of
it
,
and
she
cannot
act
contrary
to
the
Duke
,
her
Husband's
Deed
,
who
was
never
willing
to
accept
of
a
Restitution
on
those
Terms
.
Neither
ought
that
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
to
stand
as
a
Prelimenary
or
a
Foundation
of
this
Treaty
,
since
the
King
of
France
himself
,
has
in
a
manner
disanulled
it
,
by
declaring
by
his
Ambassadors
,
that
it
was
as
if
it
had
never
been
;
and
the
deceased
Duke
of
Lorain
on
his
part
,
made
a
Declaration
,
That
he
would
not
be
held
by
it
.
Nevertheless
,
that
pretended
Treaty
,
to
which
he
had
never
consented
,
nor
agreed
unto
,
nor
signed
by
his
Plenipotentiary
,
but
on
the
contrary
protested
against
,
has
been
concluded
notwithstanding
his
Dissent
:
How
then
can
that
Treaty
be
revived
without
him
,
and
made
use
of
it
against
an
August
Widow
,
and
Four
most
Serene
Orphans
,
whereof
the
eldest
is
Duke
Leopold
of
Lorain
,
the
first
of
that
Name
,
descended
of
Sixty
Seven
Dukes
of
a
continued
Line
,
of
so
illustrious
a
Blood
,
that
there
is
no
King
nor
Prince
in
Europe
,
now
living
,
but
has
drops
of
it
in
his
Veins
,
and
even
the
most
Christian
King
himself
.
Whence
it
cannot
be
imagin'd
,
that
his
Majesty
could
be
willing
that
this
most
Serene
Family
,
which
has
in
former
times
rendered
such
signal
Services
to
the
Crown
of
France
,
should
be
now
destroyed
and
brought
to
nothing
.
II.
By
the
Laws
of
Nature
,
for
the
Sake
of
the
Quality
of
this
Illustrious
House
,
and
by
the
Obligation
of
Alliances
,
the
High
Confederates
ought
to
support
its
Cause
.
The
Emperour
hath
made
a
Solemn
and
Authentick
Treaty
with
the
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
in
which
there
is
an
express
Article
,
importing
that
the
Dukedoms
of
Lorain
and
Barr
,
with
all
the
Dominions
and
Countries
thereunto
belonging
,
shall
be
fully
restored
to
the
late
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
of
Glorious
Memory
.
He
was
then
alive
,
and
contributed
very
much
to
promote
that
Treary
;
and
if
that
Article
which
related
to
him
had
not
been
admitted
to
be
comprehended
in
it
,
that
Treaty
would
have
never
been
concluded
nor
ratified
.
Mynheer
Hop
,
who
was
one
of
the
Publick
Ministers
concerned
in
it
,
and
signed
it
,
knows
this
to
be
true
.
And
the
States
General
have
the
Substance
of
what
I
have
been
saying
,
in
their
own
Records
.
The
Monarchy
of
Spain
,
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
other
consederated
Powers
consented
to
that
Treaty
,
did
concur
in
it
,
or
rather
run
to
take
upon
them
the
common
Defence
of
it
,
and
engaged
themselves
into
the
same
Obligation
to
see
this
Article
relating
to
Lorrain
duly
performed
,
whereof
they
gave
their
particular
Assurances
.
There
was
no
Elector
,
Prince
,
or
State
of
the
Empire
that
opposed
it
;
on
the
contrary
,
the
Three
Colledges
gave
their
Votes
and
Resolutions
for
this
Restitution
to
be
made
to
the
full
,
and
with
allowance
for
Damages
.
These
are
the
Engagements
of
the
high
Allies
for
the
House
of
Lorain
,
against
which
,
France
does
peremptorily
declare
,
by
Monsieur
Caillieres
,
That
the
King
will
not
restore
Lorrain
,
but
on
the
Conditions
mentioned
in
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
.
Does
there
need
more
Arguments
to
move
the
Allies
to
cause
the
Restitution
of
Lorain
to
be
put
among
the
Prelimenaries
,
according
to
the
Tenour
of
their
Obligations
?
Before
Monsieur
Caillieres
had
declared
this
Negative
,
he
gave
us
some
Ground
to
hope
by
what
he
had
said
at
Meastricht
and
elsewhere
,
that
Lorain
would
be
restored
on
certain
Conditions
,
or
on
Terms
more
Advantageous
than
those
of
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
.
These
Advantages
were
then
to
be
Part
of
the
Preliminaries
,
in
order
to
draw
on
this
Treaty
.
But
that
those
fair
Promises
were
to
be
taken
but
for
meer
Complements
,
appears
at
present
plain
enough
,
by
this
absolute
Negative
of
his
,
viz.
The
King
will
not
:
Which
may
give
sufficient
Warning
to
the
Allies
,
to
make
use
of
more
Precaution
in
their
Transactions
,
and
this
obliges
them
the
more
to
make
this
so
just
a
Restitution
part
of
the
Prelimenary
,
aad
that
without
it
the
Congress
should
not
be
held
.
Seeing
without
it
there
can
be
no
Peace
,
unless
that
the
King
of
France
be
permitted
to
triumph
doubly
over
the
Allies
,
and
subdue
them
,
which
I
hope
he
must
not
expect
,
or
pretend
that
they
must
not
without
his
Leave
,
keep
their
Promises
and
Ingagements
.

Another
Memorial
which
the

President
Canon
presented
to
the
same
Assembly
of
the
High
Allies
on
the
22d
of
May
,
1697.
Gentlemen
,
&c.
MY
Age
and
ill
Disposition
of
Body
will
not
permit
me
to
wrangle
,
nor
use
many
words
,
and
therefore
all
I
shall
say
is
,
That
we
are
come
hither
to
make
a
Peace
,
and
not
to
Dispute
or
Regulate
Ranks
and
Places
.
Every
one
yields
the
first
to
the
Emperor
only
,
and
no
Body
disputes
it
with
him
,
no
not
our
Enemies
themselves
.
We
have
,
with
common
Consent
,
and
by
the
Intervention
of
our
Mediator
,
made
an
Act
of
Reservation
,
because
of
the
several
Titles
;
which
Act
has
been
thought
very
Prudential
and
Necessary
;
for
it
is
a
Precedent
,
and
at
the
same
time
secures
all
other
Pretensions
of
Place
and
Precedency
which
every
one
may
arrogate
to
himself
.
For
my
part
,
I
do
not
intend
to
take
place
of
any
Body
:
But
at
the
same
time
I
will
not
suffer
any
thing
to
be
done
that
can
prejudice
the
Queen
my
Mistress
,
or
the
most
Serene
Duke
her
Son
,
who
is
a
Sovereign
,
and
that
's
enough
.
Otherwise
I
shall
call
my self
a
Representative
of
the
King
of
Jerusalem
;
There
shall
come
another
that
will
entitle
himself
King
of
Cyprus
;
Their
Lordships
the
States
General
will
call
themselves
Kings
of
several
Kingdoms
in
the
Indies
;
for
they
are
so
indeed
;
but
that
is
not
the
question
:
Gentlemen
,
as
I
said
before
,
we
are
not
here
to
dispute
or
regulate
what
is
de
gloria
mundi
,
but
only
and
solely
to
Treat
of
the
Peace
,
which
shall
be
concluded
,
and
God
Almighty
will
send
,
if
we
have
it
first
among
us
the
High
Allies
.
The

not
to
be
tedious
in
the
Congress
of
the
Peace
,
and
concur
in
it
according
to
the
wise
direction
proposed
by
his
Excellency
the
Ambassador
Mediator
,

agreed
on
by
all
Parties
now
in
War

claims

;
which
Monsieur
Caillieres
,
then
Minister
of
France
,
and
now
Extraordinary
Ambassador
and
Plenipotentiary
in
this
Congress
having
seen
and
perused
,
did
not
think
improper
to
be
presented
to
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
by
means
of
a
Copy
of
it
,
which
the

now
their

treating
together
,
have
given
him
.
Which
demand
therefore
cannot
be
more
anthentick
,
nor
suit
better
with
a
most
great
and
mighty
King
,
to
work
upon
his
Magnanimity

Effect

that

A

Domesticks

.
WE
the
Baron
of
Lilieroot
,
Extraordinary
Ambassador

Plenipotentiary
of
his
Sacred
Royal
Majesty
of
Sweden
,
for
the
Mediation
of
Peace
,
make
it
known

declare
,
That
all
the
most
Illustrious
and
most
Excellent
Lords
Ambassadors
and
Plenipotentiaries
,
who
come

the
Conferences
which
are
held
here
for
the
Peace
,
have
unanimously
consented
to
,
and
approved
the
Proposal
We
have
made
of
reviving

and
causing
to
be
observed
on
this
Occasion
,
the
Regulations
heretofore
made
at
Nimeguen
concerning
Ceremonies
and
Orders
,
with
some
Additions
or
Alterations
which
We
have
thought
fit
to
be
made
,
in
order
to
make
them
more
proper
and
suitable
to
this
Place
and
present
Conjuncture
,
and
that
upon
mature
Deliberation
the
following
Articles
have
been
agreed
upon
.
I.
That
all
Notifications
of

Plenipotentiaries

as

returned
,
and
which
may
require
some
Ceremony
,
shall
be
entirely
left
off
and
suppressed
,
and
it
shall
be
free
to
all
to
see
and
visit
one
another
,
when
,
and
in
what
manner
they
please
,
but
so
that
such
Visits
shall
not
be
exacted
as
a
Duty
,
or
be
a
Precedent
for
the
time
to
come
.
However
,
those
that
shall
come
hereafter
,
in
order
to
their
Admittance
to
the
Conferences
,
shall
be
obliged
to
Communicate

the

;
and
if
they
had
occasion
for
one
or
two

more

these
last
shall
stand
without

that
they
may
cause
no

Stop
:
The
same
shall
also
be
observed
in
all
other

two
Coaches
happen
to
meet
in
a
place
too
narrow
for
them
both
to
go
through
at
the
same
time
,
instead
of
disputing
the
Wall
,
and
thereby
causing
any
Stop
,
the
Coachmen
on
the
contrary
shall
be
oblig'd
to
open

make
the
Passage
easie
reciprocally

as
much
as

shall
have
the
first
notice
of
the
Difficulty
given
him
,
shall

he
can
do
it
more
easily
on
his
side
.
VII
.
In
Publick
Walks

such
as
the
Voorhout

Malls
,
there
shall
be
observed
the
Custom
established
among
those
that
meet
there
,
which
is
to
keep
the
right
hand
every
one
on
his
side
,
as
well
as
in
the
Streets
and
Publick
Ways
,
and
in

wherever
it
may
conveniently
be
done
,
without
the
least

of
Precedence
.

or
Plenipotentiary
to
whom
he
shall
belong
,
shall
wave
his
Right

After

;
and
if
any

be
discovered
notwithstanding
these
Prohibitions
,
and
that
any

,
as

endeavour
to
decide
them
by

he

THE
CONDITIONS
Upon
which
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
Agrees
to
make
Peace
with
all
the
ALLIES
.
The
Preamble
.
BE
it
known
unto
all
Men
,
both
present
and
to
come
,
that
in
the
Course
of
a
most
bloody
War
,
under
which
Europe
has
so
long
groan'd
,
it
has
pleas'd
Divine
Providence
to
prepare
at
last
for
Christendom
a
happy
Conclusion
of
its
Miseries
,
by
inspiring
an
ardent
Desire
of
Peace
into
the
Hearts
of
the
most
High
,
most
Excellent
,
and
most
Potent
Prince
,
Leopold
,
Elected
Emperor
of
the
Romans
,
always
August
King
of
Germany
,
Hungary
,
&c.
of
the
most
High
,
most
Excellent
,
and
most
Potent
Prince
,
Lewis
XIV
.
by
the
Grace
of
God
most
Christian
King
of
France
and
Navarre
;
of
the
most
High
,
most
Excellent
,
and
most
Potent
Prince
,
Charles
II.
by
the
Grace
of
God
Catholick
King
of
Spain
;
and
of
their
High
and
Mightinesses
the
States
General
of
the
United
Netherlands
:
All
of
which
Princes
and
States
,
being
equally
desirous
to
concur
bonâ
fide
,
as
far
as
in
them
lies
,
towards
the
Re-establishment
of
the
Publick
Tranquility
,
they
think
of
nothing
less
than
rendering
it
Solid
and
Lasting
by
the
Equity
of
the
Articles
in
the
ensuing
Treaty
.
Whereupon
in
the
first
place
their
Majesties
and
the
said
States
General
have
for
this
purpose
unanimously
consented
,
to
accept
of
the
Mediation
of

most
High
,
most
Excellent

most
Potent

,
Charles
XI
.
by
the
Grace
of
God
King
of
Sweden
,
Goths
and
Vandals
of
glorious

.
But
whereas
an
untimely
Death
afterwards
took
away
that
Prince
,
and
disappointed
the
Hopes
,
which
all
Europe
had
justly
conceived
of
the
happy
Issue
of
his
Counsels
and
good
Offices
,
their
said
Majesties
and
the
States
General
being
still
resolved
to
put
a
speedy
stop
to
the
Effusion
of
so
much
Christian
Blood
,
have
thought
they
could
not
make
Choice
of
a
Mediator
more
agreeable
to
all
Parties
concern'd
and
interested
in
the
War
,
than
by
continuing
to
acknowledge
under
the
same
Character
the
most
High
,
most
Excellent
,
and
most
Potent
Prince
Charles
XII
.
his
Son

Successor
,
the
present
King
of

,
who
has
already
us'd
the
same
Endeavours
to
promote
the
Peace
between
his
Imperial
Majesty
and
his
Allies
on
the
one
part
,
and
his
most
Christian
Majesty
on
the
other
part
,
in
the
Conferences
actually
held
for
this
purpose
in
the
Palace
at
Ryswick
in
the
Province
of
Holland
,
between

and
Plenipotentiaries

respectively
their
full
Powers
(
the
Copies
whereof
are
inserted
word
for

at
the
end
of
the
Treaty
)
and
having
caused
them
to
be
duly
exchang'd
by
the
Intervention
and
Mediation
of
the
Baron
of
Lilieroot
,
Ambassador
Extraordinary

who
acquits
himself
in
the

with
all
the
Prudence
,
Ability
and
Equity
requisite
for
the
Re-establishment
of
a
General
Tranquility
,
They
shall
agree
together
for
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
Welfare
of
Christendom
upon
the
Articles
of
Peace
and
mutual
Amity
which
follow
.
The
Answer
of
the
Imperial
Ambassadors
to
the
Project
of
Peace
deliver'd
in
by
the
French
.
Answer
to
the
Preamble
.
ACcording
to
established
Custom
't
is
requir'd
,
that
in
all
Treaties
between
the
Emperor
and
Empire
on
one
part
,
and
France
on
the
other
,
the
Latin
Tongue
should
be
made
use
of
,
and
especially
that
what
is
deliver'd
in
writing
on
either
side
should
be
in
that
Language
.
Therefore
it
was
but
reasonable
for
them
to
demand
,
that
this
Custom
might
be
observ'd
with
respect
to
the
Project
,
and
in
all
future
Negotiations
.
Tho'
in
this
Project
there
is
no
mention
made
but
only
of
Three
Allies
,
yet
it
is
to
be
supposed
,
that
the
Treaty
of
Peace
should
be
manag'd
and
concluded
with
all
the
Allies
engaged
in
the
present
War
,
and
that
several
Instruments
should
be
drawn
up
according
to
the
Number
of
them
.
Lastly
,
They
will
readily
agree
at
the
end
of
this
Negotiation
to
the
remaining
part
of
the
Preamble
.
Article
I.
There
shall
be
an
Universal
,
Perpetual
and
Christian
Peace
,
and
a
true
and
sincere
Amity
between
his
Imperial
Majesty
and
his
Allies
on
the
one
part
,
and
his
most
Christian
Majesty
on
the
other
part
,
their
Heirs
and
Successors
,
their
Kingdoms
and
Provinces
,
especially
between
the
Princes
Electors
and
other
States
of
the
Empire
comprehended
in
the
Treaty
of
Peace
,
with
their
Heirs
and
Successors
.
This
Peace
and
Amity
shall
sincerely
and
faithfully
be
observ'd
and
continued
in
such
a
manner
that
each
Party
shall
be
for
promoting
the
Honour
,
Welfare
,
and
Profit
of
the
other
.
There
shall
be
passed
on
both
sides
a
perpetual
Amnesty
and
Oblivion
of
all
Acts
of
Hostility
,
exercis'd
during
the
War
,
in
what
place
,
or
howsoever
committed
:
So
that
for
the
future
no
Redress
shall
be
sued
for
either
by
Course
of
Law
or
otherwise
,
within
the
Empire
,
the
Kingdoms
and
Territories
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
nor
the
States
General
and
Allies
,
notwithstanding
all
Agreements
,
which
may
formerly
have
been
concluded
upon
to
the
contrary
.
But
all
Injuries
,
Violences
,
Hostilities
,
Damages
,
and
Expences
,
without
any
Distinction
of
Things
or
Persons
,
which
may
have
been
caus'd
on
either
side
,
whether
by
Words
,
Writings
,
or
Deeds
,
shall
be
entirely
Cancell'd
,
so
that
whatever
may
be
pretended
under
this
Colour
by
one
against
the
other
,
shall
be
buried
in
an
Eternal
Oblivion
.
Answer
to
Article
I.
When
this
Article
was
last
debated
,
the
Imperial
Ambassadors
urg'd
,
and
the
French
agreed
,
that
the
Empire
and
Emperor
should
not
be
separated
,
but
be
joyn'd
together
according
to
ancient
Custom
,
and
as
it
was
observ'd
in
the
Treaty
of
the
Twenty
years
Truce
made
at
Ratisbonne
:
That
it
was
requisite
,
not
only
to
express
what
might
conduce
to
the
preserving
the
Peace
,
in
order
to
observe
it
;
but
likewise
to
take
notice
of
what
might
obstruct
or
destroy
it
,
in
order
to
avoid
it
.
That
lastly
,
It
would
be
no
difficult
matter
to
adjust
a
general
Amnesty
,
when
once
an
Agreement
was
made
,
about
the
Reparation
of
the
Losses
sustain'd
,
and
the
Charges
they
had
been
put
to
:
adding
withal
a
necessary
Limitation
with
respect
to
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
to
be
hereafter
mention'd
.
From
these
Proposals
two
Arcicles
do
Arise
:
I.
There
shall
be
a
Christian
,
Universal
and
Perpetual
Peace
,
and
a
true
Amity
between
his
Sacred
Imperial
Majesty
,
and
his
Successors
,
the
whole
Roman
Empire
,
the
Kingdoms
and
Hereditary
Dominions
,
his
Vassals
and
Subjects
,
and
all
his
Allies
,
on
the
one
part
,
and
his
.
Sacred
Majesty
,
the
most
Christian
King
,
and
his
Successors
,
his
Kingdom
and
the
Subjects
of
France
,
on
the
other
part
.
That
this
Peace
shall
be
maintain'd
and
preserv'd
with
that
Sincerity
,
that
neither
Party
shall
attempt
any
thing
to
the
ruin
or
prejudice
of
the
other
,
under
what
pretence
soever
;
nor
directly
or
indirectly
aid
or
assist
any
Person
or
Persons
who
shall
or
may
endeavour
any
thing
to
the
prejudice
of
either
Party
;
That
neither
Party
shall
receive
,
protect
,
or
abet
the
Rebellious
and
Refractory
Subjects
of
the
other
Party
;
but
both
shall
promote
and
advance
the
Welfare
,
Honour
,
and
Interest
of
each
other
,
all
Promises
,
Contracts
,
and
Alliances
made
or
to
be
made
to
the
contrary
notwithstanding
,
all
which
are
null'd
and
made
void
by
these
Presents
:
Always
provided
that
the
Amnesty
granted
by
this
Peace
,
and
contain'd
in
the
following
Articles
,
shall
remain
in
full
force
,
and
not
be
diminished
in
the
least
by
this
Article
.
2.
There
shall
be
a
perpetual
Amnesty
and
Oblivion
of
all
Acts
of
Hostility
on
either
side
,
in
what
place
,
and
after
what
manner
soever
committed
;
so
that
neither
upon
this
Account
,
nor
for
any
other
Reason
or
Pretence
whatsoever
,
the
one
shall
not
raise
,
or
cause
to
be
raised
,
directly
or
indirectly
,
any
Enmity
or
Disturbance
against
the
other
,
under
Colour
of
Justice
or
by
Matter
of
Fact
:
But
on
the
contrary
,
All
and
singular
the
Injuries
and
Violences
,
offer'd
by
Words
,
Writings
,
or
Deeds
,
shall
be
absolutely
cancell'd
,
without
respect
to
either
Persons
or
Things
,
against
whom
they
may
have
been
committed
:
so
that
all
Pretences
of
either
Party
upon
this
Account
shall
be
buried
in
an
Eternal
Oblivion
.
Provided
always
that
Satisfaction
be
made
for
the
Losses
and
Charges
herein
after
to
be
mention'd
.
The
Benefit
of
which
Amnesty
all
and
singular
the
Vassals
and
Subjects
of
both
Parties
shall
enjoy
,
so
that
no
Person
shall
be
prejudiced
or
molested
for
having
adhered
to
either
Party
,
but
may
be
restor'd
fully
to
all
the
Estates
and
Dignities
which
he
was
in
possession
of
immediately
before
the
beginning
of
the
War
.
Provided
always
and
Excepted
,
whatever
shall
be
resolved
in
the
following
Articles
upon
the
Account
of
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
,
Chattels
and
Fruits
.
Article
II.
Forasmuch
as
the
Treaties
of
Munster
and
Nimeguen
ought
to
be
the
Basis
and
Foundation
of
the
present
Treaty
,
and
just
as
they
are
joyn'd
to
each
other
by
that
of
Nimeguen
,
so
that
this
latter
may
be
said
to
contain
both
:
The
foresaid
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
shall
have
the
same
force
here
,
as
if
inserted
word
for
word
,
and
executed
in
all
its
Points
and
Articles
,
unless
it
be
otherwise
expresly
provided
.
Answer
to
Article
II.
It
is
very
true
,
if
things
be
duly
consider'd
,
that
the
Treaty
of
Westphalia
and
that
of
Nimeguen
,
may
and
ought
to
be
reckon'd
one
and
the
same
:
since
the
former
is
so
ratified
and
confirm'd
by
the
latter
,
as
if
the
Instrument
of
the
Westphalian
Treaty
,
were
inserted
word
for
word
in
the
Treaty
of
Nimiguen
,
unless
in
such
cases
wherein
the
former
was
abrogated
by
the
latter
:
so
that
in
effect
,
by
promising
to
renew
the
one
,
it
was
likewise
promised
to
renew
the
other
.
However
,
because
in
reality
they
were
two
distinct
Treaties
of
Peace
,
made
at
several
Times
and
in
several
Places
,
carried
on
by
different
Ministers
,
for
several
particular
Reasons
,
and
drawn
up
in
different
Forms
:
It
is
likewise
requisite
,
that
in
settling
the
Foot
of
this
present
Peace
,
which
is
the
Subject
Matter
of
this
Article
,
a
particular
mention
should
be
made
of
both
Treaties
;
since
there
are
real
Differences
in
the
Second
Treaty
,
from
what
his
Excellency
Monsieur
Cailliere
agreed
to
in
the
Preliminaries
,
which
were
exhibited
on
the
Tenth
of
February
last
.
Article
III.
Whereupon
there
shall
be
an
entire
Oblivion
of
all
that
has
pass'd
during
the
present
War
,
and
all
Things
shall
be
remitted
on
either
side
,
in
the
same
State
wherein
they
were
by
the
foresaid
Treaty
.
Article
IV.
To
this
purpose
,
whereas
divers
Re-unions
of
several
Territories
situated
in
the
Empire
,
have
been
made
by
the
Chambers
of
Metz
and
Bezancon
,
and
the
Soveraign
Council
of
Brisac
,
since
the
said
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
of
which
his
most
Christian
Majesty
has
been
put
into
Possession
,
his
said
Majesty
does
covenant
,
that
they
shall
be
entirely
revok'd
,
without
regarding
the
Sentences
which
have
been
pass'd
by
the
foresaid
Chambers
and
Council
,
and
Things
shall
be
restor'd
in
the
same
State
and
Condition
wherein
they
were
before
the
said
Sentences
and
Re-union
,
and
as
they
were
at
the
Time
of
the
Treaty
of

His

Majesty
promises
upon
Honour
to
withdraw

and

they
have
been
possess'd
of
in
the
Empire
during
the
present
War
.
Answer
to
Article
III
,
IV
,
V.
The
former
part
of
the
Third
Article
has
been
already
discussed
in
the
Second
.
What
follows
is
part
of
the
Restitution
to
be
made
by
the
ensuing
Peace
.
In
consequence
whereof
all
Decrees
of
Union
and
Re-union
are
to
be
Cancell'd
and
Abolish'd
,
some
of
which
have
been
printed
at
Paris
,
Cum
Privilegio
,
and
consequently
by
the
King's
Authority
;
among
the
rest
Two
,
whose
Titles
run
thus
,
A
Decree
of
the
Soveraign
Council
of
Alsace
sitting
at
Brisac
,
importing
that
the
King
shall
be
put
into
Possession
of
the
Soveraignty
of
the
Lower
Alsace
,
it
bears
date
March
22.
1680.
The
other
is
entituled
,
A
Decree
of
the
Soveraign
Council
of
Alsace
,
sitting
at
Brisac
,
importing
that
the
King
shall
be
put
into
Possession
of
the
Soveraignty
of
the
Lower
Alsace
,
and
of
other
Territories
and
Seigniories
situated
in
the
Upper
Alsace
;
this
is
dated
August
9.
1680.
Especially
since
these
Expressions
,
and
others
to
be
met
with
in
the
whole
Body
of
the
Decree
,
concerning
the
detaining
and
possessing
of
other
Territories
at
that
time
acknowledg'd
,
do
sufficiently
manifest
the
state
of
things
by
the
then
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
and
the
time
ensuing
.
This
likewise
was
evident
,
and
particularly
in
the
Right
pretended
to
Strasburgh
,
Landau
,
and
Cronweissemberg
,
by
receding
from
performance
of
the
Peace
of
Nimeguen
,
the
first
Article
whereof
was
drawn
up
in
these
Terms
.
The
Emperor
shall
forthwith
cause
his
Forces
and
Troops
to
withdraw
from
all
the
Provinces
of
the
Empire
,
which
do
not
by
an
Hereditary
Right
belong
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
namely
from
the
Circle
of
Suabia
and
Franconia
,
as
well
as
from
the
Electoral
Circle
of
the
Rhine
,
and
from
that
of
the
Upper
Rhine
,
and
from
the
Towns
and
Forts
situated
thereon
,
From
Bon
,
Strasburgh
,
Offenberg
,
Hockberg
,
Landau
,
Cronweissemberg
,
and
in
general
from
all
such
places
,
as
neither
by
the
Treaty
of
Munster
,
nor
by
that
of
Nimeguen
belong'd
to
his
Imperial
Majesty
,
so
that
immediately
before
the
Tenth
of
August
,
the
said
Forces
shall
be
drawn
into
Bohemia
,
and
into
other
of
his
Patrimonial
States
.
Therefore
't
is
evident
that
Bon
,
Strasburgh
,
Offenberg
,
Landau
,
Cronweissemberg
,
and
all
the
other
Places
of
the
Empire
,
which
were
not
look'd
upon
as
belonging
by
an
Hereditary
Right
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
neither
by
the
Treaty
of
Munster
,
nor
that
of
Nimeguen
,
were
yet
consider'd
and
absolutely
esteem'd
to
be
part
of
the
Empire
,
and
comprehended
in
its
Circles
and
Dependencies
.
From
whence
it
plainly
follows
,
that
by
the
Articles
propos'd
by
the
French
Ambassadors
,
all
these
Places
are
to
be
restor'd
and
re-establish'd
.
Since
the
Case
stands
thus
,
and
these
Places
are
the
Chief
of
what
ought
to
be
restor'd
,
the
Emperor's
Ambassadors
,
and
those
of
the
Electors
,
Princes
,
and
other
States
here
present
,
do
reasonably
hope
that
there
will
be
less
difficulty
about
the
other
Articles
to
be
agreed
upon
for
the
speedy
Re-establishment
of
a
firm
and
lasting
Peace
,
and
therefore
they
desire
that
an
immediate
Consent
may
be
given
to
the
two
following
Articles
,
as
the
Foundation
and
General
Rule
of
the
present
Peace
.
1.
The
Treaty
of
Westphalia
,
together
with
that
of
Nimeguen
,
shall
be
the
Basis
and
Foundation
of
the
present
Peace
,
which
shall
be
executed
with
respect
both
to
Church
and
State
,
immediately
after
the
Ratifications
shall
be
exchang'd
;
and
for
ever
after
maintain'd
in
its
full
force
,
unless
in
such
things
as
shall
be
otherwise
provided
for
by
the
present
Treaty
.
Therefore
whatever
after
the
said
Peace
of
Munster
,
and
the
Treaty
of
its
Execution
made
at
Nuremberg
,
has
been
to
this
present
in
the
Possession
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
under
pretence
of
Right
,
or
by
open
Force
,
or
in
any
other
manner
whatever
,
and
which
was
before
possess'd
by
the
Emperor
,
or
by
the
Empire
and
the
States
depending
thereon
,
including

restor'd
to
their
Ancient
Proprietors
,
without
demolishing
the
Fortifications
,
or
any
Publick
or
Private
Houses
,
without
rendring
them
in
a
worse
state
than
they
are
at
present
,
or

any
thing
for
the
Charges
they
have
been
at
upon
them
,
without
exacting
any
Contributions
by
the
Army
,
or
in
their

:
And
this
Restitution
shall
be
made
without
any
delay
,
within
Ten
days
at
farthest
after
the
Ratifications
be
exchang'd
,
or
sooner
if
possible
,
together
with
all
the
Artillery
,

and

,
as
well
such
as
were
in
the
Places
when
taken
,
and
since
quitted
and
demolished
by
the
Garrisons
that
were
in
them
,
and
such
as
are
in
any
other
Places
whatever
,
together
with
all
Papers

That
whatever

have
been

Christian
Majesty

the
said
Peace
,
and

of

whether
Absolute

upon
any
other
Cause
or
Reason
whatever
,
shall
be
cancell'd
,
and
re-settled
upon
its
first
footing
;
and
after
it
has
been
thus
re-settled
,
shall
remain
in

:
the
which

are
cancell'd

abolish'd
,
as

as
they
respect
the

Case
;

is

2.
For
the
farther
illustrating
the
foregoing
Article
;
and
to
cut
off
all
occasion
of
future
Debates
,
without
mentioning
the
Reference
to
be
made
to
Commissioners
,
Umpires
,
and
their
Decisions
;
it
is
farther
agreed
,
That
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
France
shall
rest
satisfied
with
what
has
been
granted
to
them
by
the
Peace
of
Munster
in
Westphalia
,
namely
,
with
the
Jurisdictions
of
the
three
ancient
Bishopricks
of
Metz
,
Toul
and
Verdun
,
as
far
as
they
had
regard
to
them
at
the
time
of
the
said
Peace
;
and
likewise
with
the
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
Suntgau
,
the
Landgravate
of
Alsace
,
and
of
the
Provincial
Government
,
in
the
same
manner
as
they
were
formerly
possessed
by
the
most
Serene
House
of
Austria
,
and
which
are
not
to
be
alter'd
upon
the
Account
of
any
Compensation
to
be
made
for
Damages
done
,
or
for
the
sake
of
making
the
Peace
more
firm
and
lasting
;
and
that
they
shall
not
pretend
,
demand
,
or
exact
from
any
State
,
Vassal
or
Subject
of
the
Empire
,
any
Oath
,
Obligation
,
or
Dependence
,
except
within
the
Jurisdictions
of
the
said
three
Bishopricks
,
as
far
as
they
concern'd
them
at
the
time
of
the
said
Peace
,
or
except
within
the
said
Rights
possessed
by
the
House
of
Austria
,
and
which
are
not
at
present
alter'd
,
under
any
Pretence
,
Reason
,
or
Matter
of
Fact
or
Right
whatever
:
The
state
of
the
Case
,
as
to
the
Surrendring
up
of
the
Rights
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
being
the
same
now
as
formerly
,
except
only
the
Manner
of
Possession
;
forasmuch
as
what
the
most
Serene
House
of
Austria
has
receiv'd
in
Fief
from
the
Empire
,
and
held
under
its
Jurisdiction
,
shall
be
held
and
possess'd
with
the
Right
of
Soveraignty
,
by
the
Kingdom
of
France
,
and
after
the
same
manner
as
what
belongs
to
the
said
three
Bishopricks
within
their
Jurisdictions
,
is
therein
included
and
comprehended
.
And
by
Consequence
all
those
in
general
which
are
reckon'd
,
and
are
of
Right
the
States
,
Vassals
,
and
Subjects
of
the
Empire
,
whether
such
as
are
more
particularly
mention'd
in
the
Treaty
of
the
Peace
of
Munster
,
or
in
the
Treaty
of
Execution
made
at
Nuremberg
,
or
in
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
all
which
are
supposed
to
be
repeated
here
,
or
such
as
were
therein
omitted
,
of
what
degree
or
place
soever
they
be
,
shall
from
henceforward
be
ever
exempted
free
from
all
Obligation
,
Tye
,
or
Trouble
that
may
thence
ensue
,
towards
his
most
Christian
Majesty
and
the
Kingdom
of
France
.
Article
VI.
Though
the
City
of
Strasburgh
was
put
into
the
Hands
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
by
a
particular
and
voluntary
Agreement
,
and
has
been
since
possessed
and
fortified
by
the
Arms
of
his
said
Majesty
,
even
after
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
which
his
Majesty
is
willing
to
observe
in
all
its
Particulars
,
he
consents
to
withdraw
his
Forces
out
of
the
said
City
,
on
Condition
the
Fortifications
made
by
his
Orders
,
as
well
about
the
said
City
as
the
Citadel
,
be
first
demolish'd
,
the
Fort
of
Kell
,
and
other
Forts
of
the
Isles
of
the
Rhine
,
and
of
the
said
City
of
Strasburgh
,
remaining
for
its
Fortification
,
in
the
same
Condition
it
was
in
before
it
was
possessed
by
his
Majesty
,
and
the
City
restor'd
to
all
its
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
an
Imperial
City
.
And
because
the
demolishing
the
said
Fortifications
requires
the
Space
of
about
Eight
or
Ten
Months
,
his
Majesty
Promises
to
do
it
with
all
possible
Diligence
,
and
likewise
Consents
that
the
Emperor
may
have
a
Commissary
at
Strasbourgh
to
be
an
Eye-witness
till
the
said
Demolishment
be
entirely
finish'd
.
His
Majesty
shall
keep
in
the
City
,
Citadel
and
Fort
of
Strasbourgh
,
a
sufficient
Garrison
to
carry
on
the
Work
.
To
this
Part
of
the
Sixth
Article
is
annexed
a
Collateral
Corolorary
,
which
is
as
follows
:
Whereas
the
City
of
Strasbourgh
was
put
into
the
Hands
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
in
the
Year
1681.
and
continued
in
his
Possession
till
the
Expiration
of
the
Truce
,
in
1684.
The
Emperor
and
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
for
the
mutual
Benefit
of
the
Frontiers
of
their
States
,
are
agreed
with
respect
to
that
Place
,
as
follows
:
That
the
Emperor
for
himself
,
his
Successors
,
and
for
the
Empire
,
shall
renounce
all
Rights
of
Soveraignty
over
the
City
of
Strasbourgh
,
shall
for
ever
grant
for
himself
,
his
Successors
,
and
for
the
Empire
,
to
the
King
and
Crown
of
France
the
said
City
of
Strasburgh
,
with
all
its
Appurtenances
and
Dependencies
,
to
be
injoy'd
by
the
King
and
the
Crown
,
with
all
Right
of
Property
and
Soveraignty
,
so
as
never
to
be
molested
therein
for
any
Cause
,
or
upon
any
Occasion
whatever
.
In
Exchange
,
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
shall
Surrender
to
his
Imperial
Majesty
,
the
City
and
Castle
of
Friburgh
,
in
the
State
they
are
in
at
present
,
together
with
the
Villages
of
Heu
,
Metshausen
,
and
Kirkzand
,
with
all
,
and
such
Rights
of
Sovereignty
and
Property
as
were
surrendered
to
him
by
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
,
by
the
Fifth
Article
of
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
.
Moreover
,
his
Majesty
is
willing
to
deliver
up
to
the
Emperor
the
City
of
Brisac
,
seated
on
the
other
side
the
Rhine
,
in
the
same
Condition
wherein
it
is
at
present
;
with
all
its
Dependencies
,
except
some
Villages
in
Brisgau
,
which
are
on
this
side
the
Rhine
.
And
that
the
Rhine
may
be
the
constant
Barrier
between
this
Place
and
his
Majesty's
Territories
,
it
is
agreed
,
That
the
new
City
of
Brisac
,
and
the
Fort
in
the
Island
,
as
also
the
Bridge
,
shall
be
utterly
demolished
,
never
to
be
raised
or
re-built
again
;
But
that
the
Fort
called
the
Mortar
,
seated
on
this
side
the
Rhine
,
shall
remain
in
the
Possession
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
.
His
Majesty
also
Promises
,
to
raze
the
Fortifications
that
have
been
made
at
Hunninghen
,
beyond
the
Rhine
,
as
also
the
Horn-Work
of
the
Island
,
and
to
demolish
the
Bridge
of
that
Place
which
is
upon
the
Rhine
.
He
likewise
agrees
to
restore
to
the
Emperor
and
Empire
the
Fort
of
Kell
,
seated
at
the
End
of
Strasburgh-Bridge
,
and
to
raze
those
of
the
City
,
the
Islands
,
and
the
Rhine
,
reserving
only
to
himself
the
City
and
Citadel
of
Strasbourgh
,
and
the
Redoubt
on
this
side
the
Rhine
.
He
will
also
cause
to
be
demolish'd
the
Horn-work
of
the
Marquisate
,
and
Fort
Lewis
upon
the
Rhine
,
and
all
the
Works
on
the
other
side
that
River
;
together
with
part
of
that
Bridge
which
has
Communication
with
the
Fort
of
that
Horn-work
.
He
also
engages
to
restore
to
the
Emperor
the
City
of
Philipsbourgh
,
which
has
been
possessed
by
his
Forces
during
this
War
:
But
to
the
end
that
the
Frontiers
of
France
and
the
Empire
may
be
absolutely
bounded
by
the
Rhine
,
the
Bridge
of
Philipsburgh
,
and
the
Fort
at
the
End
of
the
said
Bridge
,
on
this
side
the
Rhine
,
shall
be
demolish'd
.
Whereas
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
has
regulated
the
Conditions
,
upon
which
the
King

Answer
to
Article
VI.
Every
Body
knows
what
was
the
Opinion
of
the
Republick
of
Strasburgh
,
when
it
was
put
into
the
hands
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
after
the
Peace
of
Nimeguen
,
and
also
what
was
the
Opinion
of
all
the
Inhabitants
and
Bishops
of
the
said
City
,
of
the
Count
of
Hanault
,
of
the
Baron
of
Fleckensteim
,
and
of
the
Immediate
Nobless
of
the
Lower
Alsace
,
nam'd
in
the
Treaty
of
Rendition
,
Septemb.
20.
1681.
and
of
all
the
other
Subjects
of
the
Empire
,
both
mediate
and
immediate
.
And
it
is
very
evident
by
the
preceding
Article
,
what
upon
the
whole
ought
to
be
resolved
,
and
what
for
the
future
ought
to
be
had
conformable
to
the
Treaties
of
Munster
and
Nimeguen
,
which
are
supposed
in
all
these
Respects
to
be
here
repeated
;
and
more
particularly
with
regard
to
the
full
and
entire
Restitution
of
the
City
of
Strasburgh
,
with
all
its
Dependencies
and
Appurtenances
,
situated
on
both
sides
the
Rhine
,
without
demolishing
or
prejudicing
the
Edifices
or
Fortifications
thereof
,
together
with
its
Arsenal
,
which
has
been
transferred
elsewhere
;
and
lastly
,
of
all
the
Rights
which
belonged
thereto
,
before
it
was
taken
by
France
,
and
especially
of
its
immediate
Dependance
on
the
Roman
Empire
,
which
things
are
to
be
expresly
set
down
in
the
Treaty
of
Peace
;
rejecting
all
manner
of
Equivalent
that
shall
be
offered
,
always
excepting
a
more
particular
Designation
,
as
far
as
shall
be
judged
necessary
,
and
which
shall
at
any
time
be
produced
.
As
for
the
Affairs
of
Lorrain
,
and
others
contained
in
this
Article
,
they
are
referred
to
the
ensuing
Articles
.
Article
VII
.
And
because
his
most
Christian
Majesty
was
constrain'd
to
seize
upon
the
City
of
Treves
,
his
said
Majesty
likewise
promises
,
after
the
Ratification
of
the
present
Treaty
,
to
restore
it
to
Monsieur
the
Elector
of
Treves
.
Answer
to
Article
VII
.
According
to
what
has
been
already
determin'd
,
France
is
not
only
oblig'd
to
restore
to
his
Excellency
the
Elector
of
Treves
,
the
City
of
Treves
,
but
also
a
full
and
Entire
Restitution
ought
to
be
made
to
him
of
all
that
belongs
to
him
,
by
virtue
of
the
Archbishoprick
of
Treves
,
Bishoprick
of
Spires
,
Abbey
of
Prum
,
and
Provostship
of
Weisemberg
;
wherefore
the
following
Article
is
to
be
inserted
in
the
Treaty
of
Peace
,
viz.
The
Elector
of
Treves
shall
be
restored
to
all
the
Places
,
Fiefs
,
Revenues
,
and
Rights
,
both
Ecclesiastical
and
Secular
,
which
belong
to
him
by
Virtue
of
the
Archbishoprick
of
Treves
,
Bishoprick
of
Spires
,
Abby
of
Prum
,
and
Provostship
of
Weisemberg
,
and
their
Dependencies
,
which
either
he
,
or
his
Predecessors
have
enjoy'd
and
possessed
after
the
Execution
of
the
Peace
of
Munster
,
whether
particular
mention
has
been
thereof
made
or
omitted
,
with
all
the
Acts
and
Decrees
,
to
be
by
him
henceforward
possessed
and
enjoy'd
without
any
Molestation
or
Trouble
to
be
given
him
by
France
on
this
Account
;
with
Satisfaction
for
the
Losses
he
has
sustained
,
of
which
a
Separate
Article
shall
be
made
,
and
have
the
same
force
as
the
present
Treaty
.
Article
VIII
.
Whereas
his
Majesty
thought
it
requisite
to
fortifie
Montroyal
,
and
the
Castle
of
Traarback
,
he
is
pleas'd
to
oblige
himself
to
demolish
Montroyal
,
and
the
New
Fortifications
of
Traarback
,
leaving
the
Castle
in
the
same
Condition
as
it
was
before
.
Montroyal
also
being
so
raz'd
,
and
never
to
be
fortified
again
,
and
the
said
Castle
of
Traarback
being
to
be
restor'd
to
the
Proprietors
to
whom
they
did
belong
,
before
they
were
possessed
by
the
King's
Forces
;
his
Majesty
will
do
the
same
with
respect
to
the
Forts
of
Kirn
and
Ebernberg
.
Answer

.
An
entire
Restitution
of
all
that
belongs
to
the
Empire
,
and
consequently
of
all
the
Places
mentioned
in
this
Article
,
follows
from
what
has
been
said
upon
the
Third
and
ensuing
Articles
;
leaving
it
,
as
Justice
requires
,
to
the
Liberty
of
the
Emperor
and
Empire
,
to
dispose
of
what
is
their
own
,
as
they
shall
think
fit
,
in
what
Place
soever
it
lies
.
Article
IX
.
Whereas
by
the
Fourth
Article
of
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
the
most
Christian
King
had
restor'd
to
the
Emperor
Philipsburgh
,
with
all
and
such
Rights
which
his
Majesty
had
to
the
said
Place
,
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
to
set
things
on
the
same
foot
with
the
said
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
does
promise
to
restore
the
said
City
,
with
all
its
Fortifications
,
in
the
same
Condition
as
now
it
is
,
only
destroying
the
Bridge
which
his
Majesty
had
caus'd
there
to
be
built
.
Answer
to
Article
IX
.
There
is
so
little
need
to
explain
and
prove
the
Greatness
of
the
Damages
,
which
all
the
Members
of
the
Empire
,
and
especially
the
Emperor
have
suffered
by
the
War
,
the
necessity
of
Redressing
them
,
and
the
small
Demands
that
have
been
made
on
that
Account
,
that
they
need
not
fear
to
refer
these
things
to
the
Testimony
and
Determination
of
France
it self
;
provided
it
would
be
induc'd
to
consider
,
what
is
so
obvious
to
all
the
World
,
not
with
that
Exactness
and
Perspicuity
as
is
requisite
,
but
only
with
half
an
Eye
.
Therefore
,
whereas
after
the
entire
Restitution
of
Friburgh
,
founded
on
the
third
and
ensuing
Articles
,
with
the
three
Villages
which
depend
thereon
,
and
which
,
contrary
to
the
Intention
of
the
Peace
of
Nimeguen
,
and
the
Execution
thereof
,
were
possessed
by
France
under
the
Notion
of
Appurtenances
and
Dependencies
,
except
the
Right
of
Diocesan
,
and
other
Rights
and
Revenues
reserved
to
the
Bishoprick
of
Constance
by
the
Fifth
and
Tenth
Articles
of
the
Treaty
of
Nimeguen
,
they
may
and
do
accept
as
part
of
that
Satisfaction
due
to
his
Imperial
Majesty
,
that
which
is
offer'd
afresh
,
and
has
formerly
been
possessed
by
the
Emperor
and
the
most
Serene
House
of
Austria
,
viz.
Brisac
and
Philipsburgh
,
without
any
prejudice
to
the
Bishoprick
of
Spires
.
But
upon
the
account
of
the
manifest
Justice
of
the
thing
in
debate
,
and
to
make
the
ensuing
Peace
the
more
lasting
,
this
Restitution
shall
be
full
and
intire
,
with
all
the
Fortifications
which
belong
thereto
on
both
sides
the
Rhine
,
and
the
Bridge
,
with
all
the
Ammunitions
and
Provisions
,
which
are
therein
at
present
:
and
Justice
likewise
requires
that
a
more
particular
regard
should
be
had
to
what
is
contain'd
in
the
Tenth
Article
of
the
Demands
of
the
Imperial
Ambassadors
:
excepting
always
a
more
particular
Account
of
the
Damages
and
Expences
which
the
States
of
the
Empire
have
been
at
;
leaving
the
Decision
thereof
(
for
the
sake
of
Equity
,
and
of
a
good
and
solid
Peace
)
to
the
known
Affections
and
Endeavours
of
his
Excellency
the
Mediator
.

Answer
to
Article
X.
and
XI
.
As
to
what
concerns
the
Affairs
of
Lorain
,
as
comprehended
under
the
protection
of
the
Empire
,
and
as
being
a
Fief
thereof
upon
the
Account
of
several
parts
of
it
,
in
the
first
place
what
has
been
said
above
concerning
the
Vassals
and
Clients
of
the
Empire
,
and
particularly
with
respect
to
the
Unions
and
Re-unions
,
ought
to
be
apply'd
here
.
In
the
next
place
,
such
things
as
are
the
Proprieties
of
other
States
of
the
Empire
,
ought
not
to
be
mix'd
and
confounded
with
the
Affairs
of
Lorrain
.
Much
less
by
virtue
of
restoring
Lorrain
,
which
by
all
manner
of
Equity
becomes
due
,
ought
they
to
detain
Strasburgh
,
which
has
nothing
to
do
with
Lorrain
,
or
any
other
Places
,
which
are
alike
to
be
restor'd
to
the
Empire
,
or
to
the
States
dependent
thereon
.
In
short
,
it
is
reasonable
to
have
regard
to
what
was
formerly
produc'd
by
the
Plenipotentiary
of

upon
this
Subject

which

there
at

time

Answer
to
Article
XII
.
Instead
of
this
Article
is
repeated
what
had
been
express'd
in
the
Third
,
and
which
is
founded
on
so
much
the
clearer
and
more
indubitable
Title
,
as
that
the
Artillery
,
the
Ammunitions
and
Provisions
which
are
at
present
in
the
places
which
are
to
be
surrendered
,
or
were
there
,
when
they
were
taken
,
or
carried
thither
from
other
places
of
the
Empire
which
were
ruin'd
or
deserted
;
or
which
were
rais'd
in
the
Countries
belonging

or
gain'd

Industry

with
the
Fortifications

such
Places
,
as

rais'd
,
augmented
or
alter'd

the
same
manner
,
do
belong
of
Right
to
the
Empire
without
all
dispute
.
Not
to
say
,
that
they
may
be
look'd
upon
as
a
small
Recompence

whereas
the
Peace

the
Basis

his
most
Christian
Majesty
is
willing
to
observe
the
said
Treaty
in
its
full

with
respect

His

the
greater
proof

the
Sincerity
of
his

Intentions

a
Peace
,

the
entire
Re-establishment
of
the
Treaty

his

willing

restore

Although
the

be
the
Basis
and
Foundation
of
this

and
accordingly
the
Town

Commissioners
being
accordingly
appointed

put
the

,
the
Conferences
which
they
had
begun

that
in
Execution

'T
is
reasonable

leave
the
Discussing

relates

insist
upon
the
promis'd
Restitution
of
the
Town

Dutchy
of
Luxemberg
,
and
the
County
of
Chiny
;
and
very
strenuously
oppose
all

of

and
so
much
as
the
bare
mention
of
Surrendring

Whereas
the

the
other
Matters

Serene
Elector
of

express'd

which
are

'T
is

likewise
to

the

of
the

It

either
directly

any

Rights

it

Order
of
Succession
in
them
,
or
to
assist
any

Innovation

:
But
all

Rights

the
Imperial
Grants
,
in
such
places

The
Declaration
of
the
Ambassadors
of
his
most
Christian
Majesty
which
was
rejected
by
the
Emperial
Ambassade
.
THE
many
Demonstrations
which
his
Majesty
has
given
of
the
Sincerity
of
his
Intentions
for
the
General
Peace
of
Europe
,
and
the
advantageous
Conditions
which
he
has
been
pleas'd
to
deposite
in
the
Hands
of
the
Ambassador
Extraordinary
of
Sweden
the
Tenth
of
February
last
,
since
he
ought
to
have
look'd
upon
as
more
than
sufficient
for
the
concluding
the
Treaty
several
Months
ago
;
but
since
at
present
he
perceives
that
notwithstanding
the
utmost
Diligence
which
his
Ambassadors
Extraordinary
have
us'd
in
the
Conferences
of
Peace
,
for
the
finishing
and
compleating
so
great
a
Work
,
the
Time
so
precious
for
the
Welfare
of
Christendom
is
run
out
with
so
little
Success
,
that
the
Campagn
is
very
far
advanc'd
,
and
the
Events
of
War
are
capable
of
bringing
a
new
Scene
on
the
Face
of
Publick
Affairs
;
his
Majesty
being
still
mov'd
with
the
same
desire
of
procuring
a
speedy
Repose
and
Quiet
to
Europe
,
does
farther
declare
by
his
Ambassadors
Extraordinary
to
the
Ambassador
Mediator
of
Sweden
,
that
he
is
ready
to
sign
the
Peace
without
any
delay
,
upon
the
same
Conditions
which
have
already
been
communicated
to
him
.
But
whereas
it
is
not
reasonable
that
the
Conclusion
of
the
Peace
being
still
suspended
by
the
delay
of
his
Enemies
,
he
should
be
ty'd
up
,
whilst
they
think
themselves
free
to
accept
or
refuse
the
Conditions
thereof
,
and
even
to
demand
new
and
unallowable
ones
;
his
Majesty
therefore
declares
by
his
Ambassadors
Extraordinary
to
the
Ambassador
Mediator
of
Sweden
,
that
he
is
willing
to
continue
under
the
same
Obligation
which
he
has
taken
upon
him
,
till
the
end
of
August
next
,
but
that
if
within
that
time
his
Enemies
do
not
conclude
the
Peace
,
he
will
be
freed
from
Engagement
,
and
at
liberty
to
treat
anew
,
after
so
much
Expence
and
Bloodshed
,
upon
such
other
Articles
as
he
shall
judge
suitable
to
the
posture
of
his
Affairs
,
and
to
the
Welfare
of
Christendom
.

THE
happy
Successes
with
which
it
has
pleas'd
God
to
bless
the
Undertakings
of
the
King
in
this
Campagn
,
might
give
his
Majesty
a
very
just
occasion
of
reducing
within
a
narrow
compass
the
Overtures
which
he
has
made
for
the
Peace
,
the
Term
which
he
fix'd
for
the
accepting
of
his
Propositions
being
expir'd
,
leaves
him
at
his
full
Liberty
,
so
that
he
might
very
well
propose
new
Articles
,
but
the
same
desire
which
he
always
had
of
putting
an
end
to
the
Miseries
of
Christendom
,
is
still
the
only
Rule
which
he
proposes
to
himself
,
and
his
Majesty
is
pleas'd
to
make
no
farther
use
of
the
Advantages
he
has
had
,
than
for
the
more
speedy
re-establishment
of
the
Quiet
of
Europe
.
'T
is
with
this
design
that
the
King
declares
,
that
tho'
his
Majesty
was
free
from
his
Engagements
at
the
end
of
August
,
tho'
he
is
very
sensible
what
Benefit
he
could
reap
from
the
Conquest
of
Barcelona
,
and
from
other
Events
of
the
War
,
yet
the
sole
Interest
which
influences
and
weighs
most
with
him
,
is
the
universal
Welfare
of
Europe
;
that
for
the
promoting
thereof
by
a
speedy
Peace
,
his
Majesty
makes
use
of
that
Liberty
which
he
has
at
present
only
to
alter
such
of
the
Articles
which
he
has
propos'd
,
as
seem
to
retard
the
Publick
Tranquility
.
Upon
this
account
his
Majesty
forbears
offering
to
the
Emperor
the
choice
of
taking
Strasburgh
,
or
the
Equivalent
propos'd
for
that
City
:
he
is
resolv'd
to
keep
it
,
and
no
farther
mention
shall
be
made
of
an
Alternative
Equivalent
:
at
the
same
time
he
promises
that
this
Alteration
,
which
he
thought
requisite
to
determine
the
Emperor
,
shall
make
no
change
in
the
other
Conditions
which
he
formerly
offer'd
for
the
keeping
of
Strasburgh
;
and
consequently
that
Town
and
the
Citadel
in
the
condition
they
now
are
,
shall
be
for
ever
annex'd
to
his
Crown
,
with
the
Dependencies
of
Strasburgh
on
this
side
the
Rhine
,
such
as
are
on
the
other
side
of
that
River
shall
be
restor'd
to
their
proper
Owners
,
with
the
same
Rights
and
the
same
Prerogatives
which
they
formerly
enjoy'd
:
That
the
Fort
of
Keil
shall
be
restor'd
to
the
Emperor
and
Empire
,
in
the
same
Condition
as
it
is
at
present
:
That
the
Forts
of
the
City
,
of
the
Islands
in
the
Rhine
,
shall
be
raz'd
:
That
the
Cities
of
Friburgh
,
Brisack
,
and
Philipsburgh
shall
be
restor'd
by
his
Majesty
to
the
Emperor
,
upon
the
same
Conditions
set
down
in
the
Project
deliver'd
in
by
his
Majesty's
Ambassadors
Extraordinary
to
the
Ambassador
Mediator
of
Sweden
:
That
those
Articles
which
specifie
the
Restitution
of
Lorrain
in
the
same
Condition
as
Duke
Charles
possessed
it
in
the
year
1670.
with
the
Clauses
therein
explain'd
,
and
which
his
Majesty
has
thought
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Peace
,
shall
be
punctually
put
in
Execution
:
That
lastly
,
for
rendring
the
Peace
solid
,
and
to
assure
the
Empire
,
that
his
Majesty's
only
desire
is
to
preserve
it
,
he
promises
to
demolish
and
abandon
the
Fortresses
which
he
possesses
on
the
other
side
the
Rhine
,
to
pull
down
the
Bridges
made
by
his
Orders
upon
the
River
,
reserving
only
part
of
the
Bridge
of
Fort
Lewis
on
the
Rhine
,
which
leads
from
Alsace
to
the
Fort
:
That
he
on
the
other
hand
demands
that
the
Bridge
of
Philipsburgh
be
broken
down
,
the
Fort
rais'd
at
the
end
of
that
Bridge
on
the
side
of
France
demolish'd
;
and
that
the
Rhine
being
for
the
future
the
just
Barrier
between
the
Territories
of
both
,
the
Avenues
of
his
Kingdom
shall
be
shut
up
,
at
the
same
time
,
that
his
Majesty
makes
it
appear
that
he
is
not
willing
to
reserve
any
Passage
whereby
to
carry
the
War
into
Germany
.
Lastly
,
His
Majesty
adds
to
those
considerable
Overtures
which
he
makes
for
the
keeping
of
Strasburgh
,
the
Restitution
of
Barcelona
,
which
his
Majesty
promises
to
restore
to
the
King
of
Spain
assoon
as
he
has
the
Consent
of
the
Emperor
and
Empire
for
the
Surrender
of
Strasburgh
:
and
this
is
all
the
use
which
his
Majesty
pretends
to
make
of
the
Conquest
of
one
of
the
most
considerable
Towns
in
the
Spanish
Monarchy
.
His
Majesty
proposes
no
Alterations
in
the
Articles
by
which
he
offer'd
to
Treat
with
the
Catholick
King
,
and
is
perswaded
that
this
Prince
being
sensible
of
the
Moderation
which
he
shews
towards
him
,
will
not
insist
upon
the
Demand
of
a
few
Villages
in
the
Seigniory
of
Aeth
,
requisite
for
the
more
easie
Commerce
of
the
Inhabitants
of
Tournay
,
and
for
the
Communication
of
that
City
with
the
Town
of
Condé
;
and
that
his
Majesty
pretends
to
reserve
to
himself
all
the
Advantages
he
can
reap
from
the
taking
of
Aeth
.
But
whereas
it
is
not
reasonable
that
his
Majesty
shall
be
always
oblig'd
to
Sacrifice
such
considerable
Advantages
to
the
good
of
the
Peace
,
he
declares
that
if
his
Enemies
defer
taking
advantage
of
those
new
Expedients
which
he
is
pleas'd
to
offer
for
the
Conclusion
of
the
Treaties
,
&
shall
exceed
the
term
which
he
hereby
gives
them
of
the
20
th
of
September
to
accept
of
his
Proposals
,
he
will
then
be
at
liberty
to
propose
new
Conditions
;
and
the
Miseries
of
the
War
are
to
be
charg'd
only
on
those
who
refuse
to
concur
with
his
Majesty
to
the
putting
an
end
to
them
.

Discords
and
Wars
,
between
the
said
King
of
Great
Britain
and
the
most
Christian
King
,
and
Their

,
Cease

,
or
the

Directly

Indirectly
,
by

.
IV.
And
since
the
most
Christian
King
was
never
more
desirous
of
any
thing
,
than
that
the
Peace
be
Firm
and
Inviolable
,
the
said
King
Promises
and
Agrees
for
Himself
and
His
Successors
,
That
he
will

Britain
in
the
free
Possession
of
the
Kingdoms
,

not
before
the
Foreign
Troops
are
actually
gone
out
of
Italy
,
and
are
arrived
,
viz.
The
Germans
,
Bavarians
,
Brandenburgers
,
Protestants
in
English
Pay
,
and
other
Auxiliaries
are
really
come
into
Germany
;
and
the
Spaniards
,
and
other
Troops
now
in
the
Pay
of
the
Catholick
King
,
are
restored
into
the
Milanese

so
that
none
of
the
Articles
shall
be
put
in
Execution
,
nor
the
Restitution
of
any
Place
made
,
till
after
the
going
out
and
departure
of
the
Troops
,
such
as
is
before
exprest
,
shall
be
entirely
accomplished
;
always
provided
,
that
the
said
departure
of
the
Troops
shall
be
deemed
entirely
accomplished
,
altho'
it
should
happen
,
as
perhaps
it
may
,
that
the
Spaniards
should
take
out
of
them
some
small
Number
of
Soldiers
,
to
Recruit
the
Regiments
that
are
in
their
Pay
;
and
if
any
of
those
Troops
List
themselves
,
and
do
actually
enter
the
Dominions
of
the
Republick

Venice
,
they

put
into

of
the

to
blow
up
and
demolish
the
said
Town
,
Cittadel
,
and
Forts
of
Pignerol
;
But
in
Case
that
his
Royal
Highness
should
think
it
convenient
to
keep
the
present
Treaty
secret
,
beyond
the
time
of
the
said
Ratification
,
it
is
agreed
,
That
to
avoid
the
noise
which
the
working
on
the
said
Mines
may
make
in
the
World
,
the
same
shall
not
be
begun
,
till
so
long
after
the
time
of
the
said
Ratification
,
as
his
Royal
Highness
shall
think
fit
.
Which
Demolition
shall
be
made
,
and
carried
on
in
that
manner
,
that
after
two
or
three
Months
,
after
the

forementioned
,
the

be
restored

Royal
Highness
,
to
which
purpose
it
shall
be
lawful
for
him
to
send
a
Commissary
to
be

present
;
and
till
the
Things
aforesaid
be
put
in
Execution

His

is
willing
for
his
Royal
Highness's
greater
Satisfaction
and
Security
,
to
cause
two
Dukes
and
Peers
of
France
to
be
delivered
into
the
Hands
of
his
Royal

,
as
soon
as

shall
require
it
of

II.
His

all
that
they
contain
not

to
the

which

be
irrevocable
,
and
shall
remain
in
its
Force
and
Vigor
,
notwithstanding
the
present
concession
of
Pignerol
and
its
Dependences
:
And
as
for
the
other
Concerns
and
Pretensions
of
the
House
of
Savoy
,
his
Royal
Highness
reserves
to
himself
to
claim
the
same
by
Protestations
,
Memorials
or
Envoys
;
and
this
present
Treaty

not
be

and
that
the

be
made

put
in
Execution
;
after
the
Publication
of
which
Treaty
,
the

shall
be
put

Hands
.
That
in
the
said
Contract
of

,
which

be
considered

an
essential
part
of
this
present
Treaty
,
and
wherein
the

with
Promise
not

,
remaining
due
for

promised
,
and
as

remits
it
,
in
consideration
of
this

Treaty
.
Moreover
,
his
Royal

obliges
himself
to
give
to

his

at
the
time
of
the
Celebration
of

,
and
in
French
,
Trousseau
or
Nuptial
Present
,
[
](A27483-e34190-b)*
*
This
answers
to
that
which
in
the
Common
Law
is
called
Paraphanalia
,
and
in
the
Civil
Paraphernalia
.
and
in
the
Contract
of
Marriage
it
shall
be
Stipulated
,
what
Dower
His
Majesty
shall
give
according
to
the
Custom
of
France
.
IV.
That
his
Royal
Highness
renouncing
and
forsaking
at
present
,
Effectually
and
Faithfully
as
aforesaid
,
all
the
Engagements
he
may
have
against
France
,
he
hopes
also
that
His
Majesty
will
Correspond
to
it
with
all
the
kind
Sentiments
which
his
Royal
Highness
begs
and
desires
,
and
that
having
the
Honour
of
being
so
nearly
Related
to
the
King
,
and
entring
now
in
the
splendor
of
a
new
Alliance
,
His
Majesty
will
grant
and
promise
him
his
powerful
Protection
,
the
return
of
which
,
his
Royal
Highness
requests
of
his
Majesty
,
and
which
His
Majesty
returns
in
its
full
Extent
.
And
because
his
Royal
Highness
is
desirous
to
keep
a
perfect
Neutrality
with
the
Kings
,
Princes
and
Potentates
now
his
Allies
,
His
Majesty
promises
not
to
lay
any
Constraint
on
the
desire
his
Royal
Highness
has
of
keeping
with
them
all
the
outward
Measures
of
Decency
,
as
it
becomes
a
Sovereign
Prince
,
who
has
Ambassadors
and
Envoys
at
the
Court
of
those
Princes
,
and
receives
and
entertains
at
his
own
Court
Ambassadors
and
Envoys
of
the
same
Princes
,
without
incurring
his
Majesties
ill
Will
,
comprehending
under
the
Word
of
Princes
,
the
Emperor
,
Kings
and
Potentates
of
Europe
.
V.
His
Majesty
does
promise

declare
,
That
the
Ambassadors
of
the

Savoy
,
both
Ordinary
and
Extraordinary
,
shall
receive
at
the
Court
of
France
,
all
the
Honours
without
exception
,
and
in
all
the
Circumstances
,
which
the
Ambassadors
of
Crowned
Heads
receive
,
that
is
,
such
as
are
Ambassadors
of
Kings
;
and
that
all
ordinary
and
extraordinary
Ambassadors
of
his
Majesty
,
in
all
the
Courts
of
Europe
,
without
any
Exception
,
not
even
of
that
of
Rome
and
Vienna
,
shall
also
treat
the
said
Ambassadors
both
Ordinary
and
Extraordinary
,
and
Envoys
of
Savoy
,
in
the
same
manner
as
those
of
Kings
and
Crowned
Heads
;
however
,
because
this
addition
of
Honour
in
the
Treatment
of
the
Ambassadors
of
Savoy
,
had
never
been
settled
to
that
height
,
as
His
Majesty
grants
it
,
his
Royal
Highness
acknowledges
that
it
is
in
consideration
of
the
present
Treaty
,
and
the
Contract
of
Marriage
of
the
Princess
his
Daughter
;
and
His
Majesty
promises
that
the
said
Addition
shall
take
place
from
the
Day
on
which
the
Contract
of
Marriage
aforementioned
is
Signed
.
VI.
That
the
ordinary
Commerce
and
Trade
of
Italy
shall
be
set
open
,
kept
up
and
entertained
,
as
it
was
settled
before
this
War
,
in
the
time
of
Charles
Emmanuel
II.
Father
to
his
Royal
Highness
;
and
that
all
that
was
done
,
observed
and
practised

Life
of
the
said
Charles
Emmanuel
II.
shall
also
be
done
,
observ'd

,
without

have
been
made
at
that
Time
.
The

of
France

they

Luserne
called
Vaudois
,
not
to
entertain
any
Correspondence
upon
the
Account
of
Religion
,
with
the
King's
Subjects
:
And
his
Royal
Highness
shall
oblige
himself
not
to
suffer
,
from
the
Date
of
this
Treaty
,
any
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
to
settle
in
the
Protestant
Vallies
,
under
Colour
of
Religion
,
Marriage
,
or
other
reasons
of
Settlement
,
as
Conveniency
,
Inheritance

nor
any
Protestant
Minister
to

of
His
Majesties
Dominions
,
without
being
severely

.
As
for
the
rest
,
His
Majesty
shall
take
no
Cognizance
how
and
in
what
manner
his
Royal
Highness
uses
the
Vaudois
,
as
to
their
Religion
;
and
his
Royal
Highness
obliges
himself
not
to
suffer
the
Exercise
of
the
pretended
Reformed
Religion
in
the
Town
of
Pignerol
,
and
Territories
Resigned
,
as
His
Majesty
neither
suffers
,
nor
shall
ever
suffer
it
in
his
Kingdom
.
VIII
.
That
there
be

,
and

since
the

of

,
in

or
in
what

soever
the
Hostilities
have
been
committed
.
That
in
this
Amnesty
shall
be

all
those

,
who

IX
.
That
the
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
that
have
been
Collated
till
this
present
time
by
the
King
,
in
the
Countries
of
his
Royal
Highness
,
Conquered
by
His
Majesty
,
during
the
space
of
Time
his
said
Majesty
has
enjoy'd
them
,
shall
remain
to
those
to
whom
the
Collation
was
made
by
the
King
,
and
the
Pope's
Bulls
;
And
that
for
what
belongs
to
the
Commanderies
of
St.
Maurice
,
Offices
of
Judicature
and
Magistracy
,
his
Royal
Highness
shall
have
no

made
about

,
during
the
Possession
of
his
Royal
Highnesses
Dominions
;
And
the
Patents
or
Warrants
granted

Highness
for
Offices
of
the
Gown
,
to
those
that
have
abandoned
their
Functions

shall
remain

.
X.
That
as
for
the
Contributions
laid
upon
the
Countries
,
in
his
Royal
Highnesses
Dominions
,
altho'
they
be
lawfully
imposed
and
due
,
and
amount
to
very
considerable
Sums
,
His
Majesty
,
as
an
affect
of
his
Liberality
,
does
entirely
remit
them
to
his
Royal
Highness
;
So
that

.
And
reciprocally
his
Royal

shall

from
the
Subjects
and
Countries
of
the
King's
Dominions
.
XI
.
That
for
what
concerns
the
Pretensions
and
Demands
of
the
Dutchess
of
Nemours
,
upon
his
Royal

,
His

to

,
Revenues
,
and
settle
his
Customs
and
Impositions
upon
Salt
and
others
,
and
the

.
XIII
.
That
if
the
Neutrality
of
Italy
should
be
accepted
,
or
the
General
Peace
Concluded
,
because
a
great
number
of
Troops
would
be
altogether
useless
,
and
burthensom
to
his
Royal
Highness
,
and
that
besides
the
Excessive
Charges
for
keeping
them
,
it
is
often
an
occasion
of
misunderstanding
the
maintaining
of
more
standing
Forces
,
than
are
necessary
either
for
the
Defence
and
Preservation
,
or
the
Dignity
of
the
Sovereign
;
his
Royal
Highness
obliges
himself
not
to
keep
and
maintain
,
in
time
of
Neutrality
,
above
Six
Thousand
Men
of
Foot
,
on
this
side
the
Mountains
,
and
Fifteen
Hundred

of

and
County
of
Nice
,
and
in
all
Fifteen
Hundred
Horse
or
Dragoons
;
which
last
Obligation
of
his
Royal
Highness
,
shall
not
take
place
before
the
General
Peace
.
We
the
above-mentioned
Plenipotentiaries
,
have
Concluded
and
Signed
the
present
Articles
,
and
we
do
Promise
,
and
Engage
to
cause
the
same
to
be
Ratified
and
Confirmed
by
His
Majesty
,
and
his
Royal
Highness
:
Moreover
,
We
do
promise
that
they
shall
be
religiously
kept
secret
till
the
end
of
the
Month
September
next
,
at
which
time
,
if
others
be
made
of
the
same
Substance
and
Tenor
,
the
present
ones
shall
be
suppressed
.

and
the

,
Vassals
and
Subjects
on
the
other
part
;
it
shall
be
faithfully
and
sincerely
maintain'd
,
so
that
the
one
shall
not
undertake
any
thing
under
what
Pretence
soever
,
to
the
Ruin
or
Prejudice
of
the
other
,
nor
Afford
,
or
Lend
Assistance
upon
any
account
whatsoever
to
any
one
who
would
attempt
it
,
or
in
any
wise
do
any
Wrong
to
the
other
;
that
he
will
not
receive
,

,
or

in
any
way
or
manner
whatsoever
,
the
Rebellious
and
Disobedient

,
notwithstanding

an
Amnesty
and
perpetual
Oblivion
of
all
the
Hostilities
reciprocally
committed
,
in
what
place
or
manner
soever
it
be
;
so
that
upon
any
Cause
or
Pretence
of
the
same
,
or
upon
any
other
account
,
it
may
not
be
lawful
for
the
one
to

any
Resentment
to
the
other
,
nor
create
any
Trouble
or
Vexation
,
directly
or
indirectly
,
either
by

of
Justice
,
or
de

,
in
any
place
whatsoever
,
nor
permit
that
any
such
shall
be
expressed
or
created
;
but
all
and
singular
the
Injuries
and
Violences
whether
by
Word
,
Deed
,
or
Writing
,
without
any
respect
to
Persons
or
Things
,
are
so
intirely
and
fully
abolish'd
and
cancell'd
,
that
whatsoever
the
one
may
pretend
against
the
other
upon
this
account
,
shall
be
bury'd
in
everlasting
Oblivion
;
all
and
several
the
Subjects
and
Vassals
of
both
Parties
shall
enjoy
the
Effect
and
Benefit
of
the
present
Amnesty
,
insomuch
that
the
having
adhered
to
such
or
such
a
Party
,
shall
not
be
wrested
to
the
Prejudice
or
Disadvantage
of
any
of
them
;
but
that
he
shall
be
wholly
re-establish'd
and
setled
,
as
to
his
Honours
and
Estate
,
in
the
same
condition
he
was
in
immediately
before
the
War
,
excepting
notwithstanding
what
hath
been
more
especially
and
particularly
regulated
in
the
following
Articles
,
in
relation
to
Moveables
,
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
and
Revenues
.
III.
The
Treaties
of
Westphalia
and
Nimeguen
shall
be
look'd
upon
as
the
Basis
and
Foundation
of
this
present
Treaty
,
and
consequently
in
pursuance
of
the
same
,
immediately
upon
the
Exchange
of
the
Ratifications
,
the
said
Treaties
shall
be
fully
executed
,
in
respect
both
to
Spiritual
and
Temporal
Matters
,
and
shall
be
inviolably
observed
for
the
future
,
except
in
such
Cases
wherein
it
is
expresly
otherwise
agreed
on
by
this
present
Treaty
.
IV.
Particularly
there
shall
be
deliver'd
up
to
his
Imperial
Majesty
,
to
the
Empire
,
and
to
its
States
and
Members
,
all
the
Places
and
Rights
situate
out
of
Alsatia
,
that
have
been
in
the
possession
of
,
and
occupy'd
and
enjoy'd
by
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
as
well
during
the
present
War
,
by
way
of
Fact
and
Deed
,
as
by
way
of
Unions
and
Reunions
,
or
that
have
been
exprest
in
the
Catalogue
of
Reunions
produced
by
the
Ambassadors
of
France
,
nulling
to
this
purpose
all
the
Decrees
,
Determinations
,
Acts
and
Declarations
made
upon
this
account
by
the
Chambers
of
Metz
and
Besançon
,
and
by
the
Council
of
Brisac
:
and
all
things
shall
be
reduced
to
the
same
Condition
wherein
they
were
before
the
foresaid
Seisures
,
Unions
,
or
Reunions
,
without
putting
the
Possessors
of
the
said
Places
to
any
further
Trouble
or
Molestation
,
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
nevertheless
remaining
setled
in
the
fore-mentioned
places
,
in
the
same
manner
as
it
is
at
present
.
V.
And
albeit
by
these
general
Rules
one
may
easily
judge
who
they
be
that
are
to
be
re-established
,
and
in
what
manner
,
and
how
far
they
ought
to
be
so
;
nevertheless
upon
the
earnest
Sollicitations
of
some
,
and
for
some
particular
Reasons
,
it
hath
been
thought
convenient
to
make
particular
mention
of
some
Occasions
;
yet
so
,
that
those
who
shall
not
be
expresly
named
,
may
not
be
taken
for
omitted
,
but
shall
absolutely
enjoy
the
same
Right
,
as
those
that
are
nominated
,
and
may
be
put
in
the
same
Rank
,
and
Capacity
.
VI.
Namely
,
the
Lord
Elector

Triers
,

of
Spires
,
shall
be
re-invested
in
the
Possession
of
the
City
of
Triers
or
Treves
,
in
the
same
Condition
wherein
it
is
at
present
,
without
demolishing
or
damnifying
any
thing
either
in
the
publick
or
private
Edifices
,
together
with
the
Artillery
that
was
therein
,
at
the
very
time
of
its
last
being
put
into
Possession
.
In
like
manner
,
whatsoever
was
regulated
in
the
IV.
Article
aforegoing
upon
the
account
of
places
occupied
,
of
Unions
and
Re-unions
,
must
be
thought
to
be
repeated
in
particular
in
favour
of
the
Churches
of
Treves
and
Spires
.
VII
.
The
Elector
of
Brandenbourgh
shall
likewise

all
the

present

all
his
Territories

Possessions
,
Subjects

belong
to

,
by

of
the

of
the
29
th

just
as
if

in
particular
.

All
the

the
most
Christian
King
,
shall
be

whether
they
belong
to
him
in
particular
,
or
whether

in
common
with
others
of
what
nature
soever
they
may
be
;
and
particularly
the
City
,

of

,
and
other
Palatinate

;
not
any
Place

:
and
as
to
what
relates
to
the
Claims
,
and
Rights
of
the
Dutchess
of
Orleans
,
it
is
agreed
upon
;
that
the

being
first
made
;
the

be
decided

in
Form
of

by
his

by
his
most
Christian
Majesty
as
Arbitrators
,
which
shall
be
decided
according
to
the
Imperial

.
But

in
their
Verdict
,
the
Business
shall
be
referr'd
to
the

Nevertheless
they

not
forbear
in
the
mean
time
endeavouring
to
procure
an
amicable

as
is
specified
by
a
particular
Article
of
the
same
Power
and
Force
as

,
and
that

the
two
Parties
,
as
also
that

intire
,
in
respect
of

Permission
from
the
Sovereign
;
besides
that
which
is
contained
in
this
present
Article
.
XLVII
.
If
any
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
mediate
,
or
immediate
have
been
during
this
War
conferr'd
by
one
of
the
Parties
in
the
Territories
and
Places
that
were
then
under
his
Dominion
,
upon
Persons
rightly
qualified
,
according
to
the
Canon
or
Rule
of
their
first
Institution
,
and
the
Lawful
Statutes
general
or
particular
made
on
this
behalf
,
or
by
any
other
Canonical
disposal
made
by
the
Pope
.
The
said
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
shall
be
left
to
the
present
Possessors
,
as
likewise
the
Ecclesiastical
Benefices
conferr'd
after
this
manner
before
this
War
,
in
the
Places
that
ought
to
be
restored
by
the
present
Peace
;
so
that
henceforth
no
Person
may
,
or
ought
to
trouble
or
molest
them
in
the
possession
and
lawful
administration
of
the
same
;
neither
in
receiving
the
Fruits
and
Benefits
,
nor
upon
that
account
may
they
at
any
time
be
presented
,
summoned
,
or
cited
to
appear
in
a
Court
of
Judicature
,
or
any
other
way
whatsoever
,
disturbed
or
molested
:
Upon
condition
notwithstanding
that
they
discharge
themselves
honestly
,
and
perform
what
they
are
bound
to
,
by
vertue
of
the
said
Benefices
.
XLVIII
.
Forasmuch
as
it
conduceth
much
to
the
publick
Peace
and
Tranquility
,
that
the
Peace
concluded
at
Turin
the
29
th
.
of
August
1696
,
between
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
and
his
Royal
Highness
be
exactly
and
duly
observed
,
it
hath
likewise
been
found
expedient
to
confirm
it
,
and
to
comprise
it
in
this
present
Treaty
,
and
to
make
it
of
the
same
value
,
and
for
ever
to
subsist
and
be
in
force
.
The
Points
that
have
been
regulated
in
favour
of
the
House
of
Savoy
in
the
Treaties
of
Westphalia
and
Nimeguen
re-established
above
,
are
confirmed
in
particular
,
and
judged
as
here
repeated
word
for
word
;
yet
so
nevertheless
,
that
the
restitution
of
Pignerol
and
its
Dependencies
,
already
made
,
may
not
in
any
case
deminish
or
alter
the
Obligation
wherein
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
hath
engaged
himself
to
pay
to
the
Duke
of
Mantua
the
Sum
of
Four
hundred
ninety
four
thousand
Crowns
for
discharge
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
as
is
explained
more
at
large
in
the
Treaty
of
the
Peace
of
Westphalia
.
And
to
the
end
that
this
may
be
more
fully
and
more
strongly
confirmed
,
All
,
and
every
one
,
the
Princes
,
that
participate
of
the
General
Peace
,
do
promise
to
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
will
reciprocally
receive
from
him
the
Promises
and
Securities
,
that
they
stipulate
amongst
themselves
for
a
more
firm
assurance
of
the
matter
.
XLIX
.
Upon
the
whole
,
it
is
not
meant
that
by
whatsoever
restitution
of
Places
,
Persons
,
Estates
,
Rights
made
,
or
to
be
made
by
France
,
there
is
acquired
any
new
Right
to
such
as
are
,
or
shall
be
so
re-established
.
But
that
if
any
other
have
any
claim
or
pretension
against
them
,
they
shall
be
propounded
,
examined
and
decided
in
a
convenient
place
,
after
the
making
of
the
said
restitution
,
which
for
this
reason
ought
by
no
means
to
be
deferred
.
L.
So
soon
as
ever
the
present
Treaty
of
Peace
shall
have
been
Signed
and
Sealed
by
the
Lords
Extraordinary
Ambassadors
and
Plenipotentiaries
,
all
Hostilities
and
Violence
of
what
nature
soever
shall
cease
,
as
also
all
demolishing
of
Edifices
,
all
Devastations
of
Vineyards
and
Forests
,
all
felling
of
Trees
;
and
immediately

Exchange
of
the
Ratifications
,
all
the
Troops
shall
be
made
to
retire
from
the
Unfortified
Places
belonging
to
the
other
Party
.
And
as
for
what
concerns
Fortified
Places
that
are
to
be
restored
by
the
present
Treaty
,
they
shall
within
thirty
days
after
the
Ratification

the
Peace

possible
,
be
surrendred

hands
of
those

are
nominated

preceding
Articles
;
or
,
if
not
expresly

then
to
those
who

possess
them
immediately
before
their
being
taken
;
without
any
demolishing
of
Fortifications
or
Edifices
,
either
publick
or
private
,
without
making
them
in
a
worse
condition
than
they
are
at
present
,
or
without
exacting
any
thing
for
or
by
reason
of
any
expences
in
the
said
Places
;
and
the
Soldiers
shall
not
exact
any
thing
upon
this
account
,
or
for
any
other
cause
whatsoever
,
nor
carry
any
thing
away
of
the
Effects
belonging
to
the
Inhabitants
,
or
of
what
ought
to
be
left
there
in
pursuance
of
this
Treaty
.
As
for
all
sorts
of
Demolitions
to
be
made
pursuant
to
the
agreements
above
,
it
shall
be
wholly
and
effectually
performed
,
in
respect
of
the
less
considerable
things
,
within
a
Month
if
possible
,
and
in
respect
of
the
more
considerable
within
two
Months
if
it
may
be
done
,
without
any
expence
or
trouble
to
the
other
Party
for
the
said
Demolition
.
Likewise
shall
all
the
Archives
,
Records
,
Literal
Documents
be
faithfully
restored
immediately
after
the
exchange
of
the
Ratifications
,
as
well
those
which
belong
to
the
Places
that
are
to
be
surrendred
and
delivered
to
his
Imperial
Majesty's
Empire
,
and
to
its
States
and
Members
,
as
those
that
have
been
removed
and
conveyed
from
the
Chamber
and
City
of
Spires
,
and
other
places
of
the
Empire
,
altho'
there
may
be
no
particular
mention
made
thereof
in
the
present
Treaty
.
The
Prisoners
taken
upon
occasion
of
the
War
,
shall
also
be
released
,
and
set
at
liberty
on
both
sides
,
without
any
ransome
,
and
in
particular
such
who
have
been
condemned
to
the
Gallies
,
or
to
any
other
publick
Slavery
.
LI.
And
to
the
end
that
the
Subjects
of
both
Parties
may
speedily
enjoy
the
intire
benefit
of
this
Peace
,
it
hath
been
agreed
,
That

they
have
been
setled

stated
by

;
as
also
,
that
all
Forageing
of
what
nature
soever
upon
the
Territories

Jurisdiction
of
one
another
shall
totally
cease
upon

day
of

what
shall
be
due
in
Arrears
for
such
like
Contributions
,
Impositions
or
Exactions
,
shall
be
totally
abolished
.
In
like
manner
the
Hostages
delivered

carried
away
during
this
War
for
what
cause
soever
,
shall
be
restored
,
without
further
delay
,
and
that
without
being
obliged
to
pay
any
thing
for
the
same
.
LII
.
In
like
manner
the
Commerce
prohibited
during
the
War
between
the
Subjects
of
his
Imperial
Majesty
and
the
Empire
,
and
those
of
his
Most

,
shall
be
re-established
presently
after
the
Signing
of
this
Peace
,
with
the

liberty
as

believed
,
alledged
,
or
imagined
to
the
contrary
;
which
remains
altogether
cancelled
and
abolished
,
altho'
it
might
be
of
such
a
nature
,
that
we
might
have
been
obliged
to
make
a
more
ample
and
more
particular
mention
of
the
same
;
or
,
altho'
the
cancelling
and
abrogation
seem
as
if
it
ought
to
be
lookt
upon
as
null
,
invalid
,
and
of
none
effect
.

taken
an
Oath
,
having
viewed
and
examined
the
Right
of
the

during
the
space
of
six
Months
ensuing
,
shall
pronounce
their
Sentence
publickly
in
the
place
where
the
Conference
is
held
,
according
to
the
Laws
and
Constitutions
of
the
Empire
;
now
if
it
be
found
conformable
it
shall
be
effectually
put
in
execution
;
but
if
so
be
the
Arbitrators
or
their

do
not
agree

more

way
suspected
by
the

,
who
shall
likewise
be
sworn

and
these
same
upon
the
former
Proceedings
(
it
not
being
allowed
to
the
Parties
to
draw
up
a
new
Declaration
of
their
Titles
)
shall
pronounce
within
the

,
and
delay
to
propound
,
explain
and
prove

be
lawful
for
the
other
Party
to
explain
and
deduce
his
Title
within
the
time
prefixt
,
which
may
never
be
prolonged
;
and
lawful

for
the
Arbitrators
and
Supreme
Arbitrator
to
proceed

Notwithstanding
this
procedure
,
the
Parties
themselves
,
and
the
Lords
Arbitrators
on
their
part
shall
not
cease
attempting
some
amicable
way
of
accommodation
;
and
shall
omit
nothing
that
may
any
way
contribute
to
the
amicable
terminating
this
Affair
.

;
the

to

,
the

who
if
they
do
not
keep
time
shall

,
by
the
ordinary
course
of

,
or

Upon

the
Dutchess
of

during
the
Canvassing
of
the
Cause
before
the

,
shall
be
in
compensation
and
put
upon
the
accompt
of
that
which
the
said
Arbitrators
shall
adjudge
to
her
,
in
case
they
do
adjudge
any
thing
at
all
;
but
if
so
be
they
adjudge
nothing
,
or
less
than
the
said
Summ
,
then
there
shall
be
a
restitution
,
and
this
compensation
,
allowance
or
restitution
,
as
also
the

and
charges
of
the

shall
be
regulated
by
the

But
if

the
Dutchess
of
Orleans
do
not
give
satisfaction
to
the
form
of
the
Compromise
,
either
in
the
Instruction
of
the
Process
,
or
in
the
Answer
that
shall
be
produced
by
the
Elector
Palatine
,
or
if
she
delays
it
,
the
course
of
the
said
yearly
payment
shall
be

only
during
that
same
time
,
the
