The annihilation of the army's southern Baden (24000 dead or wounded and 7000 prisoners), marked the collapse of the front, whose rulers had always been less favorable than centralized empire. Baden was captured Sept. 16 by a patrol of Shadows, in Stuttgart, where the Margrave of Württemberg had retired with the army defeat defined the terms of the armistice were separated in France, Granada, Baden and Württemberg. Ex-army commanded by Berthier and Churisque grenadine, with 42,000 men, arrived in late September in Mainz, von Durrheim forcing a retreat to rejoin the army of Lippe-Detmold, defeated by the new invasion force. This force was also part of the Polish Legion, about 5000 men led by Józef Antoni Poniatowski, nephew of the fallen king Stanislaw August.
On 3 October, the army-turkish-grenadine Magyar easily defeated the defenders in the Tyrolean asseragliatisi Passeiertal, in Moos. At the same time, the Swiss authorities, who had always maintained a number of institutional privileges, declared independence and co-belligerency with the coalition.

The Treaty of Vaduz
On November 4, coallizzati generals met at the castle of Vaduz with key lords of the Empire who had surrendered: Duke Heinrich IV of Baden, Margrave of Elmar Württemberg, the Grand Duke Franz Joseph of Austria and the Grand Duke of Bohemia, Jan Josef. Instead, the delegates did not participate in the Swiss cantons, which deal separately with France and Granada.
The 28 points of the Treaty states that the German nobles would have their independence recognized by the powers of the SRI co-belligerent, and that would have obtained the territories they claimed dynastically. In return they would provide contingent of troops and supplies in case of need. Their domains were not considered occupied territories. The Swiss
question was more complicated: the Tagsatzung banned immediately after independence saw the clash of the cantons in which the interests outweighed those in rural and urban middle class which prevailed. The latter were in favor of maintaining the state of confederation had during the Empire, the others were for a strengthening of central power.
Louis XVIII supported the rural, normally pro-French and adapted to counter the weight of the new Germanic allies, the threat the withdrawal of French support to the League won him the centralizing, whose representatives met with the ambassadors of France and grenadine. He was granted permission not to contribute directly to the military effort (even though many volunteers enlisted in the French army), independence was recognized by co-belligerent and would set up a confederation (Swiss Confederation), leaving less freedom to the cantons. To balance it was agreed to put in the German capital Bern.
in December, was granted to the Duke of Sardinia-Piedmont in Vaduz as decided by others. In Lombardy and Veneto, however, remained a military occupation, and Turkish in the first grenadine, grenadine and Hungary in the second; Milan, Venice, Mantua and Verona were declared free cities.
