Maj., and His Maj. the Emperor of all the Russias, agree to make common cause against every power, which, by the employment of its forces, or by too intimate an union with France, may pretend to raise essential obstacles to the developement of those measures which the high contracting parties may have to take, in order to attain the object proposed by the present concert.--This separate art. shall have the same force and validity, as if it were inserted, word for word, in the Treaty of Concert signed this day, and shall be ratified at the same time.

Maj. in his own name, and in that of his allies, that, should even circumstances require, that at the mo ment when the Russian troops began their march, they should declare that this movement was in no way connected with an existing concert with His Brit. Maj. but that the powers of the Continent reclaim the fulfilment by France of her immediate engagements with them, yet as soon as the war shall have broken out, they will no longer pursue a particular object, but that which has been determined by the Concert of the 30th March (11th April), with all the clauses incorporated with it.-In return for this assurance, His Brit. Maj. promises and engages, in the first place, to fulfil towards the Emperor of all the Russias the stipula tions of the above-mentioned Concert, in all their parts, as soon as the war shall have broken out between Russia and France, and especially to furnish for the Russian troops the subsidies agreed upon, payable from the day on which they shall have quitted the frontiers of the empire, and, moreover, the three months stipulated subsidy, under the

The undersigned Ambassador Extra. and Plenipotentiary of His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Maj. by order of his august sovereign, after having invited his Exc. the Ambassador of G. Britain, to join with him iu the Preliminary Declarations which he has exchanged this day, with his Exc. the Prince of Czartoryski, has, moreover, declared as follows:His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Maj. in acceding to the treaty concluded on the 30th March (11th April), 1805, and subsequently ratified by the Courts of London and St. Petersburgh, under the reservations, modifications, and demands, as anDounced in the above-mentioned preliminary declarations, limits the pecuniary succours, which he expects from His Maj. the King of G. Britain, for the current year, 1805, to three millions sterling; of which sum one million and a half is to be considered as Première mise en Campagne; and as such, is to be furnished with as little de

lay as possible; and the other million and a half as subsidies, to be paid in equal monthly payments, until the last day of the year. These subsidies, as well as one million of the sum appointed for Première mise en Campagne, are to be furnished to His Imperial Maj. and shall remain in his possession, even though the vigorous demonstrations, in which his forces are actually employed, should not terminate in hostilities, but should lead, by the way of negociation, to the reestablishment of peace. Moreover, as these ermed demonstrations afford the greatest and most efficacious aid, for the promotion of the object of the Concert, to which His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Maj. has acceded, he expects, that, as long as they shal continue, the subsidy shall likewise continue to be paid, in the same manner, as if his armies were employed in actual war, and that for the year 1806, and the subsequent years, in consideration of the great number of troops which he is opposing to the common enemy, the subsidy shall be increased to the sum of four millions sterling, payable in the same manner as is stated above, until the return of the regiments into the hereditary dominions.-His Exc. the An bassador of G. Britain having declared that the instructions and precise orders of his Court precluded him from acceding without restriction, to the above-menttoned demands, and having engaged, by a preliminary act, exchanged against the present, in the name of His Brit. Maj. to stipulations which differ from them considerably, as well with regard to the sum, as to the terms of the propositions made in the name of His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Maj.-The undersigned accepts this Act, given in by the Ambassador of England, but he declares at the same time, that he does not consider the sums stipulated therein as sufficient, and that he expressly reserves for his Court the power of reclaiming to this effect, and of effectuating the fulfilment of its demands. -In transmitting this Preliminary Declaration, which is to be in the place, and have the validity of the most solemn treaty, to His Exc. the Ambassador of His Maj. the King of G. Britain, he is authorised to declare to him, at the same time, that he is ready to proceed immediately, on these same bases, to the conclusion of the formal act of accession of Austria, to the concert of 30th of March, (11th of April.)-These presents shall be ratified by the respective courts in as short a time as is possible. In faith of which, the undersigned, by virtue of the full powers of his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Maj., has signed the present preliminary declara
