After understanding the basic demands of both parties, the subsequent negotiations naturally fell into place.
The parties, pleased with the results, tacitly shifted the topic. During this time, Jerome Bonaparte discussed the current issues in Rome with Baron Hubert and suggested that the Austrian Empire could use its influence alongside the French Republic to pressure the Pope to appropriately release some political prisoners.
Baron Hubert neither agreed nor disagreed. He merely told Jerome Bonaparte that it should be the responsibility of the Austrian envoy to the Pope. However, he would convey France's opinion to Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg of the Austrian Empire.
At their parting, Jerome Bonaparte shook hands warmly with Baron Hubert: "May the friendship between the Austrian Empire and the French Republic reach new heights in the future!"
