36. In the event of any foreign or neighbouring power making
preparations for war, the contracting parties, in order to prevent
surprise, shall, upon the requisition of the minister of one of them
at the assembly of the league at Francfort, arm also. And as the
contingent of the allies is subdivided into four parts, the assembly
shall decide how many of those shall be called into activity. The
armament, however, shall only take place upon the summons of the
Emperor, to each of the contracting parties.
37. His Majesty the King of Bavaria, binds himself to fortify Augsburg
and Lindau; in the first of these places to form and maintain
artillery establishments, and in the second to keep a quantity of
muskets and ammunition, sufficient for a reserve, as well as a baking
establishment at Augsburg, sufficient to supply the armies without
delay, in the event of war.
38. The contingent of each is determined as follows:
France 200,000
Bavaria 30,000
Wirtemberg 12,000
Baden 8,000
Berg 5,000
Darmstadt 4,000
Nassau, Hohenzollern, and others 4,000
39. The contracting parties will admit of the accession of other
German princes and states in all cases where the union with the
confederation may be found consistent with the general interest.
40. The ratification of the present treaty shall be exchanged between
the contracting parties, on the 25th of July at Munich.
Done at Paris, July 12, 1806.
The resignation of the high office of Emperor of Germany, by Francis,
Emperor of Austria.
_Vienna, August 7._
We, Francis Second, &c.
Since the peace of Presburgh all our attention and all our care have
been employed to fulfil with scrupulous fidelity all the engagements
contracted by that treaty, to preserve to our subjects the happiness
of peace, to consolidate every where the amicable relations happily
re-established, waiting to discover whether the changes caused by the
peace would permit us to perform our important duties, as chief of the
Germanic empire, conformably to the capitulation of election.
