[2nd Peace of Paris. Military Line.] Restoration at Expiration of Temporary Occupation. The Allied Powers engage to restore, at the expiration of the temporary Occupation, all the places named in Article V of the Principal Treaty, in the state in which they shall have been found at the time of that occupation, save and except the damages which may have been caused by time, and which the French Government should not have provided against by the necessary repairs.* Done at Paris, this 20th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, 1815. (L.S.) RICHELIEU. (L.S.) CASTLEREAGH. (L.S.) WELLINGTON. ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. DESERTERS. Paris, 20th November, 1815. (Translation.) Mutual Delivery of Military Deserters. The High Contracting Parties having agreed, by Article V of the Treaty of this day, to occupy for a certain period with an Allied Army, military positions in France; and being desirous of anticipating all that might hazard the order and discipline which it is so important to maintain in that Army, it is determined upon by the present Additional Article, that every Deserter who, from either of the corps of the said Army, should go over to the French side, shall immediately be arrested by the French authorities, and delivered up to the nearest Commander of the Allied Troops, in like manner as all Deserters from the French troops, who might come over towards the Allied Army, shall be immediately delivered up to the nearest French Commandant. Delivery of Deserters previous to Signature of Treaty. The tenor of this Article is to apply equally to such Deserters from either side, who may have forsaken their colours previously to the signature of the Treaty; the same to be without delay restored and delivered up to the respective corps to which they may belong. The present Additional Article shall have the same force and validity, as if it were inserted, word for word, in the Military Convention of this day. * See Convention of 9th October, 1818. [2nd Peace of Paris. Military Line.] In faith whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed it, and have affixed thereunto the Seal of their Arms. Done at Paris, the 20th November, in the year of Our Lord, 1815. (L.S.) CASTLEREAGH.

Two pounds (poids de marc) of meslin bread, or 13 of a pound of flour, or 11 of a pound of biscuit. Quarter of a pound of oatmeal or grits, or of a pound of rice, or of a pound of fine wheaten flour, peas, or lentils, or of a pound of potatoes, carrots, turnips, or other fresh vegetables. Half a pound of fresh meat, or of a pound of bacon. One-tenth of a litre of spirits, or of a litre of wine, or 1 litre of beer. One-thirtieth of a pound of salt. 1. In case the troops should be quartered on the inhabitants, they shall enjoy the use of fire and candle; in barracks, wood for the rooms and kitchens; and lights for the rooms and corridors shall be allowed, according to circumstances, in exact proportion to what is strictly necessary. The same shall be observed with respect to the Guard. 2. Substitutes for the usual articles of the ration are not to be given at the discretion of the troops, but according to circumstances. The articles of provision shall, where practicable, be varied according to the season, giving generally a preference to farinaceous vegetables. Bacon may be given where the troops are willing to receive it. 3. Flour, for bread, shall not be given in lieu of bread, excepting with the consent of the troops; and in that case, wood, and the necessary conveniences for baking, must be granted; biscuit shall be given only in case of a movement, or of necessity, [2nd Peace of Paris. Military Line.] or to complete the ten days' supply in reserve, with which the troops should be provided in their flying hospitals. This store shall be furnished in addition to the daily supply; moreover in order to ensure a regular supply, it is to be understood that, within the space of two months, the magazines are to be so provisioned, that there be always a supply of provisions and forage (meat excepted) in store for a fortnight in advance, under the inspection of the French Storekeepers. The Commissaries of the several Corps d'Armée shall be authorised to inspect this store in reserve when they may think proper. 4. The meat shall be delivered slaughtered, without including the head, feet, lights, liver, and other internal parts. If, with the consent of the troops, live cattle be delivered, the weight shall be fixed by an exact computation, including the head, the fat, and whatever is eatable. The hides shall, in this case, belong to the troops. 5. On a march, and on other occasions where the soldier shall be fed par étape, the same tariff shall be in force; the soldier shall then receive his portion, or an adequate equivalent, prepared and divided into two meals, and in the morning a portion of bread and spirits. 6. Receipts shall be granted by regiments, companies, and detachments, for the number of rations and portions received; which receipt shall be revised and confirmed in each corps, by a Mixed Commission, whose official expenses shall be regulated and paid by the French Government. 7. As several of the troops are accustomed to tobacco for smoking, and as the soldier will not be able to purchase this article at the very high price that exists in France, it is stipulated, that regiments, companies, or detachments, shall be entitled to demand half a kilogramme of tobacco, per month, for each man present, on paying 60 centimes for each half kilogramme of the most inferior quality sold in the shops, but fresh. In order to prevent any contraband practices arising therefrom, upon the issues to be distributed amongst the regiments, there shall be specified the quantities of tobacco delivered. Officer's Portion. Two pounds of white bread. Quarter of a pound of fine grits, or substitutes. [2nd Peace of Paris. Military Line.] A portion of liquor of good quality.

Moreover, of a stère of hard firewood, or, according to circumstances, soft wood, coal, or turf, in the proportion established in the French Service. This part of the portion shall be always given in kind, except during a march. The summer ration shall be one-half that of the winter, and there shall be reckoned six months to the winter. In those provinces where coal is generally burnt, the commutation between wood and coal shall be made, as well for the Officer as for the soldier, according to the tariff of commutation of the same articles in use in the French Army.

All other horses, including cossack horses, shall receive only the light ration, except by the rules of the service of each Army there should be other draft horses entitled to the heavy ration. On a march which may continue for more than four days, all the horses on the march shall receive the heavy ration. 2. The forage may be varied in case of necessity, by reckoning six rations of barley, and, in extreme scarcity, as many of rye, for eight rations of oats; and half a light ration of oats for five pounds of hay. The latter substitute may be demanded as a matter of right, by those troops whose ration of hay is generally under ten pounds, and that of oats more liberal.. 3.
