[Peace.] tory correspond, from Altenhof to Querenberg, with the late Bavarian Frontier. The South-east and Southern Boundary of the Territory is formed by the Boundary Line of the late Bavarian district of Gersfeld. This leads from Querenberg over the Stürnberg, and from the north and west foot of the Heidelstein to the Himmeldankberg, over the high Rhön, and from hence westward, over the Eyerhack and Rabensteinberg, the Dammersfeld-Kuppenrain, the Dalherdakuppe to the Schluppberg, along the north margin of the Schlupp forest to the Döllenbach, and terminates on the right bank thereof, running upwards to the Bavarian Frontier. Boundary of Territory to be ceded by Bavaria in the Orber-Reisig in Lower Franconia. To Art. II. Boundary Line of the portion of Territory to be ceded in the Orber-Reisig, in Lower Franconia: The North, West, and Southern Boundaries of the Territory correspond with the late Bavarian Frontier. The Eastern Boundary is formed by the Eastern Boundaries of the Communes of Mernes, Burgjoss (with the exception of the hamlet of Deutelbach), Oberndorf, and Pfaffenhausen, so that the eastern half of the Forest district of Burgjoss remains on the Bavarian side. The new Frontier, therefore, begins at the Boundary of the Joss Forest, north-east of the Rosskopf, passes over the Königsberg and Schönberg into the Aura Vale; north of the same over the Steiniger, Hanauer, and Stramiger-berg, and reaches the former Frontier south of Stackenberg. APPENDIX II.-PROTOCOL. Regulation of Boundaries ceded to Prussia in the Districts of Orb and Gersfeld, and the Enclave of Caulsdorf. WITH reference to the regulation of Boundaries stipulated ir Article XIV of the Treaty of Peace of this day's date, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed upon the following points: 1. In the Districts of Orb and Gersfeld, as well as in the Enclave Caulsdorf, the Prussian State enters upon all the rights and obligations of the Bavarian State, and therefore has to pay the Pensions and Salaries as they have been hitherto paid. The Officials and Servants who are to pass over with the afore [Peace.] said Districts will have the amount of all their Emoluments guaranteed to them if they remain in the Royal Prussian service. But if they go back to Bavaria, which they are at liberty to do within the next 3 months after the Ratification of this Treaty, they will be treated, until their re-employment, according to the regulations of the Bavarian service and the Ordinances bearing thereon. Military persons born in the said Districts, who have not the rank of Officers, will be discharged from the Bavarian army and sent home. The time which they have served in the Bavarian forces will be allowed to them in their liability to Prussian service. Officers, as well as military persons having the rank of Officers, have the right of choosing which country's service they will continue in. 2. The Commissioners mentioned in Article XIV of the Treaty of Peace, will undertake all matters connected with the regulation of the Boundaries, such as the Archives, the arrears of public Taxes, and other matters of that kind. 3. Complete freedom of expatriation to Bavaria during a year from the date of the exchange of the Ratifications of this Treaty, is reserved to all the inhabitants of the portions of Territory to be ceded. 4. As Prussia undertakes the Telegraphic Service of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, she assures to the Royal Bavarian Government the right to its own direct connection with the Palatinate of the Rhine according to its necessities, whereupon Bavaria withdraws the Telegraph Stations she has hitherto had in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. 5. In consequence of the Cession of the District round Orb, the Royal Prussian Government will put an end to the difficulties which on the part of Electoral Hesse have hitherto prevented the execution of the ratified Treaty for the dissolution of the Joint Dominion of Bavaria and Electoral Hesse. 6. In so far as the War Costs Indemnity, stipulated in Article II, shall be paid in bars of silver, the High Contracting Parties will reckon the pound of fine silver at 29 thalers, 25 silver groschen. Free carriage will be allowed in the Prussian Territory for the coined and uncoined silver intended for the discharge of the War Costs Indemnity. 7. The Royal Bavarian Government consents that the Royal Prussian troops now in Wurtemberg shall march back through [Peace.] Bavaria; their maintenance is to be provided according to the Federal regulations on the subject hitherto observed. 8. With reference to the Troops formerly belonging to Nassau and Electoral Hesse, which are still in Bavarian Territory, the following arrangements have been made. The said Troops will be sent back to their native districts by Bavaria as soon as possible; they have to place themselves under the orders of the Prussian Generals in command so soon as they reach the Prussian line of demarcation, and the Prussian Government bears the cost of their homeward march. 9. During the retreat of the Royal Prussian Army from the Austrian Territory which it occupies, Bavaria will place the Pilsen-Hof-Schwandorf railway at its disposal for the requisite military transports, for which, of course, Prussia will pay the full remuneration. The Royal Bavarian Government will send orders to the Governor of the Fortress of Mentz, Count von Rechberg, to deliver up the Fortress on the 26th of this month, to a Governor who will be appointed by His Majesty the King of Prussia, and to leave the Fortress himself, with the Royal Bavarian Troops, on the same day. 10. No Subject of their Majesties will be prosecuted, molested, or obstructed in his person or property, on account of his conduct during the War. The Ratification of the foregoing Convention shall be considered as effected by the Ratification of the Treaty of Peace of this day. Done at Berlin, 22nd August, 1866. BARON V. D. PFORDTEN. COUNT v.
