Treaty of Paris (14 March 1812)

[1] Austria pledged to provide an auxiliary corps of 30,000 troops under the command of the French emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, in the event of a war with Russia.

On 28 November 1811, the Austrian foreign minister, Klemens von Metternich, informed the Emperor Francis I that he considered a war between France and Russia likely to come the following year.

[6] In the public articles of the treaty signed on 14 March 1812, both parties recognized each other's territorial inviolability and pledged to respect the integrity of the Ottoman Empire.

[7] Secret articles confirmed that Galicia would remain Austrian even in the event that the Kingdom of Poland were restored, although Austria had the option to exchange it for the Illyrian Provinces.

[8] A month after signing the treaty, Metternich assured Tsar Alexander I of Russia that Austria would not pursue a war with any vigour.
