Extract of the protocol respecting the neutrality of Switzerland

The neutrality of Switzerland shall be extended to the territory which is to the north of a line drawn from Ugine, comprehending that town, to the south of the lake of Annecy, and thence to the lake of Bourges, as far as the Rhone, on the same principles as it has been extended to the provinces of Chablais and Faucigny, by the 92nd Article of the final Act of the Congress of Vienna.—In order to enable the King of Sardinia to partake, in a fair proportion, of the advantages which result from the present arrangements with France, it is agreed, that the part of Savoy which remained with France in virtue of the Treaty of Paris of the 30th May 1814, shall be reunited to the dominions of his said Majesty, with the exception of the parish of Saint Julien, which shall be made over to the Canton of Geneva.—The Cabinets of the Allied Courts will use their good offices, in order to induce his Sardinian Majesty to make over to the Canton of Geneva, the parishes of Chesne, Thouex, and some others, which are necessary to disengage the Swiss territory of Jussy, in return for the retrocession, on the part of the Canton of Geneva, of the territory situated between the road of Erron, and the lake, which had been ceded by his Sardinian Majesty, in the Act signed the 29th March, 1815.—The French government having consented to withdraw its frontier line of Customhouses, from the limits of Switzerland on the side of the Jura, the Cabinets of the Allied Courts will use their good offices, in order to engage his Sardinian Majesty also to withdraw them on the side of Savoy, at least one league from the Swiss frontier, and without the "Voirons" of Saleve and the hills of Sion, and Waache.
