j PEACE TREATIES
By H. IRVING KING <

TREATY OF BASLE, 1795.
The Treaty That Brought Recognition to France After Her Revolution.
Tne rail of Robespierre In 1794 in
troduced a more moderate and con
ciliatory spirit Into the councils of re-'
publican France, while at the same
time the victorious campaigns of the
French armies cooled the ardor with
which the hostile princes who sur
rounded the young republic had been
prosecuting the war. Tbe smaller Ger
man princes were esp4clally desirous
of bringing such a ruinous war to an
end. At a diet of the empire It was
declared that Germany had no Inten
tion of Interfering with the domestic
affairs of France and negotiations
looking to a satisfactory peace should
be begun. Before this France had,
since the revolution and the execution
of the king, been an outlaw among Eu
ropean nations. In Italy the grand
duke of Tuscany was already negotiat
ing with France for a peace, being the
first of the European rulers to recog
nize the French republic. Austria and
England, however, declared that the
war must go on. But Austria had al
most ceased fighting and the emperor
retired to Vienna In discouragement.
The republican armies held Belgium
and the left bank of the Rhine and had
even made conquests beyond that
river.
Opened Strongholds to French Forces.
The prince of Orange fled to Eng
land and the Dutch opened their
strongholds to the French forces. Sa
voy and Nice were In the hands of
France, and the Austrians In Piedmont
were held In check by Bonaparte—
whose military genius was now begin
ning to be universally recognized and
who had been promoted to be a briga
dier general.
Spain, which had suffered many re
verses, many of her cities being In
French hands, was only kept In the
coalition by the desire of the king to
safeguard the children of Louis XVI
and the pressure of the British. Prus
sia was already negotiating with
France. In the spring of 1795 Harden
berg, on the part of Prussia and Bar
thelemy, an experienced French dip
lomat, on the part of the republic, con
eluded at Basle, Switzerland, a treaty
which was approved by the committee
of public safety, of which Cambaceres
was the bead. The Jacobins objecting,
Cambaceres said: “Do you wish per
petual war? If so, I can tell the peo
ple they are ruined by too many dem
agogues. We shall trace the natural
limits of the republic, make sure of
the rivers which, after watering sev
eral of our departments, flow to the
sea; set limits to the countries now oc
cupied by our arms."
The treaty was signed between Prus
sia and France at Basle on April 5,
1795. By this treaty the Rhine was
made the eastern boundary of France
until peace was concluded with the
empire and a line of demarcation fixed
the neutrality of northern Germany,
for which Prussia was to be respon
sible. By a secret article It was
agreed that If, at the conclusion of a
general peace with the empire, France
retained the left bank of the Rhine
Prussia should receive a territorial In
demnity for Its possessions there, the
same to be taken from Austria or some
other handy nation, and France would
see that she got lb
Treaty With Holland.
In May a treaty was concluded with
Holland by which Dutch -Flanders,
Maestrlcht, Venloo and Flushing re
ceived French garrisons. Holland paid
an Indemnity nnd gave up half her
land and sea forces to France. On
July 22 a treaty with Spain was signed
at Basle, by which all conquests in that
country were abandoned, but Santo
Domingo ceded to Frnnce. The little
dauphin was dead in his prison, but
the princess royal It was arranged to
exchange for certain French office^.
At first France demanded that Spain
give her back Louisiana, but that claim
was abandoned. A retrocession was
forced five years Inter, however.
. Prussia, Spnin, the republics of Ge
noa nnd Venice, Holland, Switzerland,
Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, the Han
seatic towns and Tuscnny now fol
lowed the example of the United States
In entering into peaceful relations with
the French republic.
