The kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies were secured to Don Carlos, who renounced Tuscany and the duchies of Parma and Piacenza.

These three principalities were to form the appanage of Duke Francis of Lorraine, betrothed to the Archduchess Maria Theresa.

There it was that France was to find her share of the spoil; in exchange for the dominions formed for him in Italy, Duke Francis ceded the duchies of Lorraine and Bar to King Stanislaus; the latter formally renounced the throne of Poland, at the same time preserving the title of king, and resuming possession of his property; after him, Lorraine and the Barrois were to be united to the crown of France, as dower and heritage of that queen who had been but lately raised to the throne by a base intrigue, and who thus secured to her new country a province so often taken and retaken, an object of so many treaties and negotiations, and thenceforth so tenderly cherished by France.
The negotiations had been protracted.

England, stranger as she had been to the war, had taken part in the diplomatic proposals.

The Queen of Spain had wanted to keep the states in the north of Italy, as well as those in the south.
