The Treaty of Leoben was concluded between
France and Austria and signed by Napoleon himself.
This treaty was a provisional agreement. It was confirmed and made
official by the Treaty of Campo Formio, which declared
 Napoleon
victor of the
War of the First
Coalition.
Here is more about the
Treaty of Campo Formio.
And here is more about the seven
Coalitions against
France.

chapter in the
French Revolutionary Wars.

was
Baron Thugut.
