The following are some of the articles of a Treaty of Alliance, between the King of the Two Sicilies and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias.

Art. 2. His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias, in order to prove his desire of being effectively, and as much as possible an useful ally to his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, independently of the assistance which his fleet, joined to that of the Porte in the Mediterranean affords, by contributing to the safety of the coast of Sicily, will furnish his Majesty the King of the two Sicilies, for the present war against the French, a supply of troops by land, consisting of nine battalions of Infantry, with the necessary Artillery, and two hundred Cossacks. This corps shall set out on its march as soon as the weather and the roads will allow. It shall march by part of the Turkish states to Zara, in Dalmatia, where his Sicilian Majesty shall have ready, at the time of the arrival of the aid corps, both vessels ready for transporting them to Italy, and provisions necessary for subsisting them.

Art. 3. The two high contracting parties shall previously employ their care with his Majesty the Emperor, and the Ottoman Porte, in order that the Russian auxiliaries may have a free passage both in their approaching march and when they shall return to Russia.

Art. 4. The Auxiliary Russian troops shall be provided with warlike ammunition by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias: He also takes upon himself the pay of these troops, and the recruiting of them during the time they shall be employed in the service of his Majesty the king of the two Sicilies. With respect to provisions and forage, these articles shall be furnished by his Sicilian Majesty, as the party requiring, on the same footing as the same Troops receive it by order of the ordinance of their own sovereign. Quarters shall be provided for them, and all the advantages shall be procured for them which the troops of the court requiring their assistance enjoy or may enjoy while in campaign or in quarters.

Art. 5. In order to avoid all misunderstanding between the two High Contracting parties, they have agreed and Stipulated—first, that notwithstanding the Court requiring aid is obliged to provide for the subsistence of the Auxiliary Troops, from the moment that they march off the Russian frontiers, and also after their passage on the right bank of the Dniester, his majesty the Emperor of Russia, for the greater convenience, will himself provide for the subsistence of the aid troops till their arrival at Zara in Dalmatia, on this condition, that the king of the two Sicilies will remit to Petersburg in the course of the next year, or, if more suitable to him, to the general commanding the auxiliaries, the sum of 100,000 roubles, in which sum is comprised the full amount of all expenses, viz provisions, forage and subsistence money. Secondly, that the aid troops shall receive from the moment of their arrival at Zara and even to their return to that city, on account of the king of the two Sicilies, through the means of his commissaries, and conformably to what is stipulated in the fourth article of the present treaty, provisions and Forage necessary for their maintenance. For their return into Russia provision will be made after the manner stipulated in the first part of this article. But should the Russian troops on their return home take another route, the two courts shall previously concert means on the above expressed premises. Thirdly, That in addition to the provision and forage, the Russian troops shall receive from his majesty of the two Sicilies, during their continuance in his service, five Russian pence per day for subsistence money.
