THE Region of Transylvania, as it is at present in the Possession, and in the Power of his Caesarean Majesty, so it shall remain under his Dominion, Bounded by the Confines of Podolia, and with the Mountains on the side of Walachia, which were its Antient Limits before the present War, between Transylvania on one part, and Moldavia and Walachia on the other; and on the side of Walachia, it is to extend to the River Merisch, to be Circumscrib'd by the Mountains, that were its Antient Boundaries, and so the Antient Limits are to be observ'd by both Empires, without extending or diminishing them on either side.
