Correspondance de Mirabeau et du M. de la Marck," III. 232 (note of M.
de Bacourt). On the very day and at the moment of signing the treaty at
Pilnitz, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the Emperor Leopold wrote
to his prime minister, M. de Kaunitz, "that the convention which he had
just signed does not really bind him to anything; that it only contains
insignificant declarations, extorted by the Count d'Artois." He ends
by assuring him that "neither himself nor his government is in any way
bound by this instrument."]
