Citizen minifter,

THE

HE archduke Charles has propofed an armiftice to the general-in-chief, by announcing to him that the emperor had fent a courier to M. de Cobentzel with orders to fign a peace.

The general-in-chief, confidering

that the line of the Traun and the Inn was forced, that we were advanced one hundred leagues before the other armies, and were already near the rear-guard of the Auftrian army in Italy; that, confequently, M. de Bellegarde could avail himfelf of the poffeffion of Saltzburg and Infpruck, as the two grand openings by which he could fend troops to join thofe that were left in the Tyrol, and by attacking our rear with thefe, might cut off our communication with the Traun; thefe reafons he thought proper to agree to a fufpenfion of arms, which procuring great advantages for us, would put us in a condition to learn the movements of the army of Italy, of which we had as yet heard no

account.

for

of twenty days loft feventy leagues of territory, twenty-five thouland prifoners, twelve or fifteen thoufand in killed or wounded, one hundred and forty pieces of cannon, and immenfe magazines, was no longer able, nor could it be able in three months, to hinder our army from conquering all Auftria, and dictating laws in the capital. But, in order to effect this without danger, it would have been neceffary for the army of Italy to be already in poffeffion of the defiles of Carinthia.

Befides, the general-in-chief was of opinion, that to ftop in the most brilliant victories was conformable to the character of moderation by which the firft conful manifefts him

the following perfons, viz. the general-in-chief Moreau has authorized the general of brigade, Victor Faneau Lahorie, and his royal highnefs the archduke Charles, major comte de Grime, and colonel Wairother de Vetal, of the ftaff, who have agreed to the following conditions:

The line of demarcation between the portion of the GalloBatavian army in Germany, under the orders of general Augerau, in the circles of Weftphalia, the Upper Rhine, and Franconia, as far, as Bayerfdorf, fhall be fpecially determined upon between that general and the general of the imperial and royal army opposed to him. From Bayerfdorf that line paffes to Harlard, Nuremberg, Neumarck, Parf berg, Laver, Stadtamdoff, and Ratilbon, where it croffes the Danube, along the right bank of which it extends to the Erlaph, and then pro ceeds to the fource of that river; paffes through Markgamingen, Kogelback, Goulingen, Hammox, MonJerg, Leopoldstein, Heiffomach, Vorderenberg, and Leoben; runs along the left bank of the Muhr to the fpot where that river crofles the way from Saltzburg to Klagenfurt, which it purfues to the Spiritat; then goes through Brixen to Botzen, and at laft reaches Bormio in the Valteline, where it joins the army of Italy.

The navigation of the rivers thall be free, as well to the armies as to the people of the country.

Art. 4.

The imperial troops which may have occafion to withdraw from the Upper Palatinate, from Suabia or Franconia, fhall go the fhortest way to the line of demarcation.

The execution of this article must not be delayed, under any pretence whatever, beyond the neceffary time, allowing for the distances.

Art 6. The fortreffes of Kufstein, Scharnitz, and the points of permanent fortification in the Tyrol, hall be given up as a fecurity to the French army, to be restored in the fame ftate in which they are found at the conclufion and ratification of peace, fhould it follow this armiftice without the refump tion of hoftilities.

He will allo at the lame time furnish the inhabitants with all the facilities in his power for their fubfiftence, and the French army fhall not interfere in any respect with the goverment of the country.
