TREATY between Sardinia and Monaco, relative to the Protection of the Principality of Monaco by His Sardinian Majesty.-Turin, 8th November, 1817. (Translation.)

ARTICLES OF PROTECTION granted by His Majesty the King of Sardinia to the Principality of Monaco, agreed upon between the Plenipotentiaries of His Majesty, and those of the Prince of Monaco. DECLARATION.

IT having been settled by the Treaty of Paris, of the 20th November, 1815, that the relations re-established by the Treaty of the 30th May 1814, between France and the Principality of Monaco, should for ever cease, and that the same relations should exist between Us and the said Principality; our well beloved Cousin the Prince Onorato of Monaco, has accredited to this our Royal Residence his Son Gabriel Onorato, Duke of Valentinois, duly provided with Full Powers for adapting, in concert with the Plenipotentiaries nominated by Us, to the new circumstances of the said Principality, and the position in which it is at present

placed, with respect to our Dominions, the provisions of the Original Treaty of Protection agreed upon at Peronne, on the 14th September, 1641,* * between France and the Prince Onorato of Monaco.

And We having acceded to the request of the said Duke of Valentinois, Hereditary Prince of Monaco, in conformity with the Articles of Concession, agreed upon as above stated, and according to what has been by himself proposed, the following Articles have been concluded accordingly.

ART. I. There shall be in Monaco a Garrison of half a Battalion of Piedmontese Infantry, to guard that Place, to reside therein, and to render every service that may be necessary.

The Prince of Monaco, placed in the same relations towards His Majesty as those in which he was formerly placed towards France, shall be Captain and Governor for His Majesty of the said Place; being nominated thereto by Royal Letters Patent, as shall also be his Heirs and Successors in the said Principality after him, with the same authority and powers as are possessed by the Generals commanding the other Fortresses of the Royal States, over the Officers and Soldiers. They shall receive the same pay, and enjoy the same advantages, as are received and enjoyed by the other Garrisons of His Majesty's States: the Prince shall give the pass word, and shall possess the keys of the Place.

II. There shall be in the said Place a Lieutenant of the Prince, in order to command the Garrison during his absence, to which Post His Majesty has appointed Major General Lunel; and in the event of the Appointment becoming vacant, His Majesty and his Successors shall appoint thereto some distinguished Person, to be approved of by the said Prince.

III. If in case of War, or for other reasons, circumstances should render it necessary for His Majesty to increase the Garrison of Monaco with other Piedmontese Soldiers, these shall always be under the command of the Prince, in his quality of Governor of His Majesty's Troops in that Place.

IV. The Lieutenant and all the other Piedmontese Officers, who enter the Place, shall swear before the Prince Governor, and, in his absence, before the above-named Lieutenant, to guard it faithfully for him and his Successors, under the protection and for the service of His Majesty.

V. His Majesty shall maintain at his own cost the said Garrison, which shall be punctually paid, without the said Prince or his Subjects. being, upon that account, liable to the least expense. The Officers shall pay for their Quarters, as was done by the French; and His Majesty shall cause his War Department to indemnify the Prince for the maintenance of the Barracks occupied by the Garrison.

The provisions and other articles sent by His Majesty, for the sub

* See Page 909.

sistence of his Troops, shall be exempt from all entry duties; proper precautions being taken for the prevention of smuggling.

VI. His Majesty will leave the said Prince undisturbed in his full power and Sovereignty of Monaco, Mentone and Roccabruna (saving and excepting the Conditions in that case made and provided by the Investiture of the 30th November, 1816,) without the said Garrison or other Parties disturbing the said Prince, or interfering in whatever belongs to the said Sovereignty by land or sea, and still less in the Government of, or dispensation of justice over, his People, or in the administration of his Revenue; the said Garrison being only to be employed in guarding the Place as aforesaid.

VII. The Coin of His Majesty shall pass current in the Principality of Monaco, the same as in the Royal States.

VIII. As the geographical position of the Principality of Monaco, surrounded, as it is on every side, by His Majesty's States, must produce relations with those States, far more intimate, frequent, and necessary than those which existed with France; His Majesty is desirous of enabling the Inhabitants of the Principality to derive all the advantages which they may reasonably expect from his beneficent protection, by establishing, even in the distribution of his Royal favours, the least possible difference between them and his own Subjects;-the said Prince, on his part, so regulating all the Legislation of his Government, that the Royal and private Rights of His Majesty, in his own States, may not be in the least degree compromised by such Legislation, that the Communications may be absolutely free between the 2 parts of the Royal States, through or across the said Principality,—and that the latter may never serve as an asylum for Malefactors and Deserters, who may escape from the States of His Majesty.

IX. Whenever His Majesty shall think fit to station in the said Place of Monaco, Majors, Adjutants, or other like Officers, such Persons shall be appointed as may be approved of by the Prince, who shall exercise over them the authority belonging to a General commanding a Fortress. The other Officers, as well as the Engineers, the Surgeon, the Chaplain, and other such Persons, shall be chosen and paid by His Majesty. There shall be in the Place 12 Artillerymen, with 1 Officer.

X. His Majesty, as well as His Royal Successors, (whom His Majesty obliges so to do by virtue of the present Convention,) shall take under their Royal protection and perpetual safeguard, the said Prince of Monaco, the Duke his Son, the whole of his Family, and all his Subjects, as well as his Towns of Monaco, Mentone, and Roccabruna, together with their Territories, Jurisdictions, and Dependencies, and, in the same manner, all the Heirs and Successors of the said Prince; and shall always defend them against whomsoever may unjustly be disposed to molest them. He shall maintain the said Prince, in the same

liberty and Sovereignty in which he shall find him, and in all his privileges, appertaining both to sea and land, as well as in the jurisdictions belonging to him, of whatsoever kind or description they may be; and he shall likewise cause him to be included in all Treaties of Peace. The said Prince is moreover empowered to erect, in all his Towns and Territories, the Royal Standard, upon the occasion of any molestation from Enemies.

XI. The Prince of Monaco having represented to His Majesty, that Family circumstances render it very difficult for him immediately to place himself and his Children (as it is his firm determination to do,) in the same personal relations with His Majesty, as those in which the said Prince and his Predecessors were placed with respect to France, His Majesty, convinced of the attachment of the said Prince to his August Person and to his Royal House, and of the eagerness with which both he and the Duke his Son will embrace and faithfully act up to the new Italian system, in which, by virtue of the Treaty of the 20th November, 1815, he has been irrevocably included; and in order to prove his Royal esteem for the said Prince and his Children, defers, until the abovementioned circumstances shall have ceased to exist, to require the said Prince and his Son to enter into the said relations; and to grant to them the distinction of his Orders, together with those greater marks of grace and favour, which His Majesty will ever be disposed to confer upon a House, already rendered Illustrious by ancient Investitures, and which has for many Ages been a Dependent upon this Crown.

XII. His Majesty, moreover, grants to the said Prince and his Successors, the pay of 12 Soldiers, to be received at the same time that the Garrison is paid.

XIII. His Majesty will confirm to the Princes of Monaco all the privileges formerly granted to them by the Royal House of Savoy, and such as they enjoyed at the period of 1792.

XIV. His Majesty will give orders to his Marine to protect the Port and Town of Monaco, in the same manner as the other Ports and Towns of his Dominions.

And whenever the said Prince shall think fit, there shall also be appointed a Consul or Vice-Consul at Monaco, for duly attending to all the commercial wants of the Inhabitants, as well as of those of the Subjects and of the Vessels of His Majesty, that may arrive on the Coast thereof.

There shall be no difference made, in the imposition of the Duties of anchorage and tonnage, between the Subjects of His Majesty and those of the Principality; and with respect to the Sanatory Laws, the proper Authorities of the Prince shall always concert, with the Officers of Health established at Nice, the necessary measures for the common security.

2

The Prince shall make the necessary arrangements, in order that the Vessels and Subjects of His Majesty that may arrive in the Port of Monaco may, at all times, be freely and abundantly supplied with wholesome water.

We have consented to the above Conditions, and promise on our Royal Word to observe them, and to cause them to be inviolably and faithfully observed.

In faith of which, we have signed these Presents with our own Hand, and have caused the same to be countersigned by the Count Della Valle, our First Minister, entrusted with the Portfolio of our Secretaryship of State for Foreign Affairs, and have hereunto affixed the Seal of our Arms.

The above Minute of Declaration has been agreed upon, iu order to its being presented for the Royal approbation.

DUKE OF VALENTINOIS.

[Referred to in the preceding Articles of Protection.]

SUR ce que le Prince de Monaco a fait représenter au Roi, qu'encore qu'il tienne en Souveraineté ladite Place et Forteresse de Monaco, neanmoins les Espagnols, sous divers prétextes, se sont comme appropriez ladite Place, y aiant usurpé un tel pouvoir, qu'elle n'est plus en la libre disposition dudit Prince. Et pour ce sujet aiant supplié Sa Majesté de le prendre en sa protection, et le délivrer de l'oppression qu'il souffre. Sadite Majesté, portée par la seule considération de la justice, qui l'oblige à se servir de la puissance que Dieu lui a mise en main, pour assister les Princes ses voisins en la conservation de ce qui leur appartient, et pour maintenir la tranquillité publique, après plusieurs instances qui lui ont été faites de la part dudit Prince, a creu ne lui pouvoir refuser sa protection, aux conditions que ledit Prince a lui-même proposées, telles qu'il s'ensuit.

I. Qu'il entrera dans-ladite Place de Monaco une Garnison de 500 Soldats effectifs, tous François naturels et non d'autre Nation, pour garder la Place, y demeurer, et servir en 4 Compagnies; sçavoir, 2 de 150 hommes chacune, et les 2 autres chacune de 100 hommes, dont Sa Majesté nommera les Capitaines et Officiers. Ledit Prince sera Capitaine et Gouverneur pour le Roi, de la Place, et avec Patentes de Sa Majesté, comme seront aussi après lui ses Héritiers et Successeurs en ladite Principauté, et avec la même authorité et pouvoir qu'ont les Gouverneurs des autres Places de France, lesquels auront la même solde et émolumens que l'on a accoûtumé de donner dans les autres Garnisons de France; ledit Prince donnera le mot et tiendra les clefs de ladite Place.

II. Il y aura dans ladite Place un Lieutenant dudit Prince, pour commander à
