262 General Treaty of Vienna. which shall remain to Saxony; then it shall follow the northern frontier of the circle of Eigen, to the angle between Pulsdorf and Ober-Schland; thence it shall be continued to the limits that separate the circle of Görlitz from that of Bautzen, in such a manner that Ober-Mettel and Neider Schland-Olich, and Radewitz remain in the possession of Saxony. The great post-road between Görlitz and Bautzen shall belong to Prussia, as far as the limits of the said circles. Then the line shall follow the frontier of the circle to Dubraucke; it shall then extend upon the heights to the right of the Löbauer-Wasser, so that this rivulet, with its two banks, and the places upon them, as far as Neudorf, shall remain, with this village, to Saxony. The line shall then fall again upon the Spree, and the Schwarz-Wasser, Liska, Hermsdorf, Ketten, and Solahdorf, are assigned to Prussia. From the Schwarze-Elster, near Solchdorf, a right line shall be drawn to the frontier of the lordship of Königsbrück, near Grossgrabchen. This lordship remains to Saxony, and the line shall follow its northern boundary as far as the bailiwick of Grossenhayn, in the neighbourhood of Ortrand; Ortrand, and the road from that place by Mersdorf, Stolzenhayn, and Gröbeln, to Mühlberg, (with the vil lages on that road, so that no part of it remain beyond the Prussian territory) shall be under the government of Prussia. The frontier from Gröbeln shall be traced to the Elbe near Fichtenberg, and then shall follow the bailiwick of Mühlberg. Fichtenberg shall be the property of Prussia. From the Elbe to the frontier of the country of Merseburg, it shall be so regulated that the bailiwicks of Torgau, Eilenburg, and Delitsch, shall pass to Prussia, while these of Oschatz, Wurzen, and Leipsic, shall remain to Saxony. The line shall follow the frontier of these bailiwicks, dividing some inclosures and demi-inclosures. The road from Mühlberg to Eilenburg shall be wholly within the Prussian territory. From Podelwitz (belonging to the bailiwick of Leipsic, and remaining to Saxony) as far as Eytra, which also remains to her, the line shall divide the country of Merseburg in such a manner that Breitenfeld, Haenichen, Gross and Klein-Dolzig, Mark-Ranstädt, and Knaut-Nauendorf, remain to Saxony; and Modelwitz, Skeuditz, Klein Liebenau, Alt Ramstadt, Sch kohlen and Zietschen, pass to Prussia. From thence the line shall divide the bailiwick of Pegau, between the Floss graben and the Weisse-Elster; the former, from the point where it separates itself above the town of Crossen (which forms part of the bailiwick of Haynsburg) from the Weisse Elster, to the point where it joins the Saaic below the town of Merseburg, shall belong, in its whole course between those two towns, with both its banks, to the Prussian territory. From thence, where the Frontier touches upon that of the country of [April 1, Zeitz, the line shall follow it as far as the boundary of the country of Altenburg, near Luckau. The frontiers of the circle of Neustadt, which wholly falls under the domi nion of Prussia, remain untouched. The inclosures of Voigtland, in the district of Reuss, that is to say Gefäll, Blintendorf, Sparenberg, and Blankenberg, are comprised in the share of Prussia. XVI. The provinces and districts of the kingdom of Saxony, which are transferred to the dominion of his majesty the king of Prussia, shall be distinguished by the name of the Duchy of Saxony, and his majesty shall add to his titles those of Duke of Saxony, Landgrave of Thuringia, Margrave of the two Lusatias, and Count of Henneberg. His majesty the king of Saxony shall continue to bear the title of Margrave of Upper Lusatia. His majesty shall also continue, with relation to, and in virtue of his right of eventual succession to the possessins of the Ernestine branch, to bear the title of Landgrave of Thuringia and Count of Henneberg. XVII. Austria, Russia, Great Britain, and France, guarantee to his Majesty the King of Prussia, his descendants and successors, the possession of the countries marked out in the 15th article, in full property and sovereignty. XVIII. His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty wishing to give to the king of Prussia a fresh proof of his desire to remove every object of future discussion between their two courts, renounces for himself and his successors, his rights of sovereignty over the Margraviates of Upper and Lower Lusatia, which belonged to him as king of Bohemia, as far as these rights concern the portion of these provinces placed under the dominion of his majesty the king of Prussia, by virtue of the treaty with his majesty the king of Saxony, concluded at Vienna on the 18th May, 1813. As to the right of reversion of his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty to the said portion of the Lusatias united to Prussia, it is transferred to the house of Brandenburg now reigning in Prussia, his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty reserving to himself and his successors the power of resuming that right, in the event of the extinction of the said reigning house. His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty renounces also, in favour of his Prussian majesty, the districts of Bohemia inclosed within the part of Upper Lusatia ceded by the treaty of the 18th May, 1815, to his Prussian majesty, which districts comprehend the places of Güntersdorf, Taubentränte, Neukretschen, NiederGerlachsheim, Winkel, and Ginkel, with their territories. XIX. His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the King of Saxony, wishing particularly to remove every object of future contest or dispute, renounce, each on his own part, and reciprocally in favour of one 1816.] General Treaty of Vienna. another, all feudal rights or pretensions, which they might exercise or might have exercised, beyond the frontiers fixed by the present Treaty. XX. His Majesty the King of Prussia promises to direct that proper care be taken, relative to whatever may affect the property and interests of the respective subjects, upon the most liberal principles. The present article shall be observed, particularly, with regard to the concerns of those individuals who possess property both under the Prussian and Saxon governments, to the commerce of Leipsic, and to all other objects of the same nature; and, in order that the individual liberty of the inhabitants, both of the ceded and other provinces, may not be infringed, they shall be allowed to emigrate from one territory to the other, without be ing exempted, however, from military service, and after fulfilling the formalities required by the laws. They may also remove their property without being subject to any fine or drawback. XXI. The communities, corporations and religious establishments, and those for public instruction in the provinces ceded by his Majesty the King of Saxony to Prussia, or in the provinces and districts remaining to his Saxon majesty, shall preserve their property, whatever changes they may undergo, as well as the rents becoming due to them, according to the act of their foundation, or which they have acquired by a legal title since that period under the Prussian and Saxon governments; and neither party shall interfere in the administration and in the collection of the revenues, provided that they be conducted in a manner conformable to the laws, and that the charges be defrayed, to which all property or rents of the like nature are subjected, in the territory in which they occur. XXII. No individual domiciliated in the provinces which are under the dominion of his Majesty the King of Saxony, any more than an individual domiciliated in those which by the present treaty pass under the dominion of the King of Prussia, shall be molested in his person, his property, rents, pensions, or revenues of any kind, in his rank or dignities, nor be prosecuted or called to account in any manner, for any part which he, either in a civil or military capacity, may have taken in the events that have occurred since the commencement of the war, terminated by the Peace concluded at Paris on the 30th of May, 1814. This article equally extends to those who, not being domiciliated in either part of Saxony, may possess in it landed property, rents, pensions, or reveany kind. nues of XXIII. His Majesty the King of Prussia, having in consequence of the last war, re-assumed the possession of the provinces and territories which had been ceded by the Peace of Tilsit, it is acknowledged and declared by the present article that his Majesty, his heirs 263 and successors, shall possess anew, as formerly, in full property and sovereignty, the following countries, that is to say: Those of his ancient provinces of Poland specified by article II.; the city of Dantzie and its territory, as the latter was determined by the treaty of Tilsit; the circle of Cottbus ; the Old March; the part of the circle of Magdeburg, situated on the left bank of the Elbe, together with the circle of the Saale; the principality of Halberstadt, with the lordships of Derenburg, and of Hassenrode; the town and territory of Quedlinburg, (save and except the rights of her Royal lighness the Princess Sophia Albertine of Sweden, Abbess of Quedlinburg, conformably to the arrangements made in 1803 ;) the Prussian part of the county of Mansfeld; the Prussian part of the county of Hohenstein; the Eichsfeld; the town of Nordhausen with its territory; the town of Mühlhausen with its territory; the Prussian part of the district of Treffurt with Dosla; the town and territory of Erfurth, with the exception of Klein-Brembach and Balstedt, inclosed in the principality of Weimar, ceded to the Grand-Duke of Saxe Weimat by 29th article; the bailiwick of Wandersleben, belonging to the county of Untergleichen; the principality of Paderborn, with the Prussian part of the bailiwicks of Schwallenberg, Oldenberg and Stoppelberg, and the jurisdictions of Hagendorn and Odenhausen, situated in the territory of Lippe; the county of Mark, with the part of Lippstadt belonging to it; the county of Werden; the county of Essen; the part of the duchy of Cleves on the right bank of the Rhine, with the town and fortress of Wesel; the part of the duchy, situated on the left bank, specified in article 25th; the secularized chapter of Elten; the principality of Munster, that is to say, the Prussian part of the former bishoprick of Munster, with the exception of that part which has been ceded to his Britannic Majesty, King of Hanover, in virtue of the 28th article; the secularized provostship of Cappenburg; the county of Tecklenberg; the county of Lingen, with the exception of that part ceded to the kingdom of Hanover by article 27th; the principality of Minden; the county of Ravensberg; the secularised chapter of Herford; the principality of Neufchatel, with the county of Valengin, such as their frontiers are regulated by the Treaty of Paris, and by the 76th article of this general treaty. The same disposition extends to the rights of sovereignty and suzeraineté over the county of Wernigerode, to that of high protection over the county of Hohen-Limburg, and to all the other rights or pretentions whatsoever which his Prussian Majesty possessed and exercised, before the peace of Tilsit, and which he has not renounced by other treaties, acts or conventions. XXIV. His Majesty the King of Prussia shall unite to his monarchy in Germany, on 264 General Treaty of Vienna: this side of the Rhine, to be possessed by him and his successors in full property and sovereignty the following countries: The provinces of Saxony designated in article 15, with the exception of the places and territories ceded, in virtue of article 29, to his Highness the Grand Duke of SaxeWeimar; the territories ceded to Prussia by his Britann c Majesty, King of Hanover, by article 29; part of the department of Fuida, and such of the territories comprehended therein as are specified in article 40; the town and territory of Wetzlar, according to artick 12; the Grand Duchy of Berg with the lordships of Hardenberg, Brock, Styrum, Schöller and Odenthal, formerly belonging to the said Duchy under the Palatine government; the districts of the ancient archbishopric of Cologne, lately belonging to the Grand Duchy of Berg; the Duchy of Westphalia, as lately possessed by his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Hesse; the county of Dortmund; the principality of Corbey; the mediatised districts specified in article 43. The ancient possessions of the House of Nassau-Dietz having been ceded to Prussia by his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, and a part of these possessions having been exchanged for the districts belonging to their serene highnesses the Duke and Prince of Nassau, the King of Prussia shall possess them, in sovereignty and property, and unite them to his monarchy. 1. The principality of Siegen with the bailiwicks of Burbach and Neunkirchen, with the exception of a part containing 12,000 inhabitants, to belong to the Duke and Prince of Nassau. 2. Thebailiwicks of Hohen-Solms, Greifenstein, Braunfels, Freusberg, Friedewald, Schönsten, Schönberg, Altenkirchen, Altenwied, Dierdorf, Neuerburg, Linz, Hammerstein, with Engers and Heddesdorf; the town and territory of Neuwied; the parishes of Hamm, belonging to the bailiwick of Hackenberg; the parish of Horhausen, constituting part of the bailiwick of Horsbach, and the parts of the bailiwicks of Vallendar and Ehrenbreitstein, on the right bank of the Rhine, designated in the convention conduded between his Majesty the King of Prussia and their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Prince of Nassau, annexed to the present treaty. XXV. His Majesty the King of Prussia' shall also possess, in full property and sovereignty, the countries on the left bank of the Rhine, included in the frontier hereinafter designated: This frontier shall commence on the Rhine at Bingen: it shall thence ascend the course of the Nahe to the junction of this river with the Glan, and along the Glan' to the village of Medarf, below Lauterecken, the towns of Kreutznach and Meisenheim, with their territories, to belong entirely to Prussia; but Lauterecken and its teritory to remain beyond the Prussian oufier. From [April 1, the Glan the frontier shall pass by Medart, Merzweiler, Langweiler, Neideer, and Ober Fechenbach, Ellenbach, Chreanchenborn, Ausweiler, Cronweiler, Niederbramhach, Burbach. Boschweiler, Heubweiler, Hambach, and Rintzenberg, to the limits of the canton of Hermeskiel; the above places shall be included within the Prussian fromtiers, and shall, together with their territeries, belong to Prussia. From Rintzenberg to the Sarre the line of demarcation shall follow the cantonal limits, so that the cantons of Hermeskiel and Conz (in which latter, however, are excepted the places on the left bank of the Sarre) shall remain wholly to Prussia, while the cantons of Wadern, Merzig, and Sarrebourg, are to be beyond the Prussian frontier. From the point where the limit of the canton of Conz, below Gomlingen, traverses the Sarre, the line shall descend the Sarre till it falls into the Moselle, thence it shall reascend the Moselle to its junction with the Sarre, from the latter river to the mouth of the Our, and along the Our to the limits of the ancient department of the Ourthe. The places traversed by these rivers shall not at all be divided, but shall belong, with their territories, to the power in whose state the greater part of these places shall be situated; the rivers themselves, in so far as they form the frontier, shall belong in common to the two powers bordering on them. In the old department of the Ourthe, the five cantons of Saint-Vith, Malmady, Cronenbourg, Schleiden, and Eupen, with the advanced point of the canton of Aubel, to the south of Aix la Chapelle, shall belong to Prussia, and the frontier shall follow that of these cantons, so that a line, drawn from north to south, may cut the said point of the canton of Aubel, and be prolonged as far as the point of contact of the three old departments of the Ourthe, the Lower Meuse, and the Roer; leaving that point, the frontier shall follow the line which separates these two last departments till it reaches the river Worm, which falls into the Roer, and shall go along this river to the point where it again touches the limits of these two departments; when it shall pursue that limit to the south of Hillensberg, shall ascend from thence towards the north, and leaving Hillensberg to Prussia, and cutting the canton of Sittard in two parts, nearly equal, so that Sittard and Susteren remain. on the left, shall approach the old Dutch territo; then following the old frontier of that territory, to the point where it touched the old Austrian principality of Gueldres, on the side of Ruremonde, and directing itself towards the most eastern point of the Dutch territory, to the north of Swalmen, it shall continue to inclose this territory. Then, setting out from the most easter peint, it joins that other part of the Dutch, territory in which Venloo is situated, with out including the latter town and its district: thence to the old Dutch frontier near Mook, 1816.J Incidents in London and Middlesex. situated below Genep, it shall follow the course of the Meuse, at such a distance from the right bank, as that all the places situated within a thousand Rhenish yards (Rheinlandische Ruthen) of this bank, shall, with their territories, belong to the kingdom of the Netherlands; it being well understood, however, in regard to the reciprocity of this principle, that no point of the bank of the Meuse shall constitute a portion of the Prussian territory, unless such point approach to within eight hundred Rhenish yards of it. From the point where the line just described joins the old Dutch frontier, as far as the Rhine, this frontier shall remain essentially as it was in 1795, between Cleves and the United Provinces. It shall be examined by the commission, which shall be appointed without delay by the two governments, to proceed to the exact determination of the limits, both of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, designated in Articles 66 and 68, and this commission shall regulate, with the aid of experienced persons, whatever concerns the hydrotechnical constructions, and other analogous points, in the most equitable manner, 265 and conformably to the mutual interests of the Prussian states and of those of the Netherlands. This same disposition extends to the regulation of the limits, in the districts of Kyfwaerd, Lobith, and all the territory to Kekerdom. The places named Huissen, Malburg, le Lyniers, with the town of Sevenaer, and the lordship of Weel, shall form a part of the kingdom of the Netherlands, and his Prussian Majesty renounces them in perpetuity for himself, his heirs and successors. His Majesty the King of Prussia, in uniting to his states the provinces and districts designated in the present article, enters into all the rights and takes upon himself all the charges and engagements stipulated with respect to the countries dismembered from France, by the treaty of Paris of the 30th of May, 1814. The Prussian provinces upon the two banks of the Rhine, as far as above the town of Cologne, which shall also be comprised within this district, shall bear the name of Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine, and his Majesty shall assume the title of it.

"His Majesty is in good bodily health, and has been in a tranquil state of mind during the last month; but his Majesty's disorder is not diminished." Captain Manby has exhibited to the commissioners for the affairs of barracks an efficacious method for the extinction of fire in store-houses and other buildings, in which its progress is always rapidly destructive. It enables the person who discovers the fire, to proceed at once to extinguish it by a machine, which he may easily carry by hand, charged with a fluid, so strongly impregnated with antiphlogistic ingredients as instantly to quench, wherever it falls, the fiercest combustion. The quantity of fluid, thus impregnated, contained in the machine, will, before the force with which it is projected is at all diminished, effect as much towards extinction as 120 gallons of simple water, how ever well directed by any other means. A case, containing two more such machines ready charged, and reservoirs of the fluid for recharging all three, constitutes the complete apparatus. Its merits are, that it is always ready for instantaneous application; that it may be carried by only one person to any part of the building, and directed to the most intricate recesses of the incipient fe; and that it offers in a box one foot NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No. 27. deep, two wide, and less than three long, means of extinguishment equal to a quantity of 720 gallons of water applied by any other mode at present in use. At a meeting of admirals and naval captains lately held at Bath, it was determined, in consequence of the dissolution of the Naval Club by a small majority of its members and its incorporation with the new Military Club, to establish a new association, to be called The Royal Naval Institution, to consist of admirals, captains, and commanders of the royal navy, and generals and field officers of the marines. As soon as sufficient funds are collected, a good house will be taken in the neighbourhood of St. James's, having a morningroom (generally called a coffee-room) a reading room, a drawing-room, and a good eating-room. In the coffee-room the daily papers will be laid every morning; in the reading-room there shall be the principal pe riodical publications, with pens, ink, and paper, and every convenience for writing. We observe with pleasure that all games of chance are prohibited, under the penalty of expulsion. In addition to the rooms already mentioned, it is in contemplation to add an extensive and select library, which shall contain every useful work connected with professional pursuits; a museum; a model-room, for the reception of every imVOL.
