Sažetak

The author in his article describes the events which took place in Zadar and its neighboring area after the Austrian siege of Zadar in the second half of 1809. The siege occurred as a consequence of the fifth anti-French coalition which was formed by the Hapsburg Monarchy and by England. After the beginning of the siege a state of emergency was introduced in the city which suspended the civilian authority of the provveditore which at that time was headed by Vincenzo Dandolo. A shortage of provisions and a rise of prices ensued as a consequence of the siege. In order to satisfy the monetary needs in the city, the French authorities introduced paper “siege” money. Although the Austrian campaign in Dalmatia was quite successful, a local Zadar armistice was reached because of the defeat of Austrian forces nearby Wagram. The armistice of 28 July/3 August 1809 regulated the relations between the warring parties and issues pertaining to everyday life. As a consequence of the peace treaty in Schönbrum, at the beginning of 1809 Austrian forces pulled out of Dalmatia which marked the end of the siege of the city.
