Archduke of Austria, Duke of Modena, &c. &c. &c. being convinced that the greater frequency of Offences and Desertions is occasioned by the impunity resulting from the facility possessed by Offenders in one State, of taking refuge in a neighbouring one, and being desirous of adopting such measures as are called for under circumstances so seriously affecting the public tranquillity, and the reciprocal advantage of the 2 States, have determined to conclude a Convention for the arrest in their respective Dominions, and the reciprocal delivery of Offenders and Deserters, in the manner, and in the cases, which shall be mutually agreed upon.
