Between the French Republic and the infant Duke of Parma—concluded under the mediation of Spain.
The most important conditions follow:
There shall be peace and amity between these states.
The respective powers shall not aid in any way each others enemies.
The French emigrants shall neither stop nor dwell upon the duke's territories.
All sequestrations of property are done away on either part.
The stipulations of Buonaparte, on the 20th Floreal, are to be strictly and solely observed.
The republican troops have free passage through the territories of the duke.
Neither power can permit this passage to the troops of the other's enemies.
There is no restriction upon the commerce of each country, but the necessary duties of each country, and preference is accorded to the inhabitants of each country. These mutual duties are to be fixed by a separate convention.
The exportation of French merchandize through the states of the duke shall pay only a duty of transit or passage, and not of importation. This being intended for the maintenance of bridges and repairs of roads—articles transmitted by rivers or navigable canals, shall pay no duties.
In execution of the 6th article of the Hague treaty, concluded the 22d Floreal, third year, the present peace is declared also with the Batavian republic.
