Folio 90. Extracts from various letters:(1) a letter dated Paris, July 17, to Baron de Molins, at the camp of Monsieur de Lorge. On the passage of the Rhine by the Dauphin, great things are expected and the princes of the empire will be forced to make peace, of which there is much need. (2) Extract from a letter dated at Paris, 18 July, to the Marquis d'Uxelles. On his arrival in Germany the Dauphin will publish a manifesto to the effect that the King of France has no other object than the re-establishment of the King of England, and that provided the princes of Germany will agree to abandon the Prince of Orange, France pledges herself to [raze and?] return Hunningue, Fribourg, Fort Louis and Philipsburg and even to reinstate the sons of Prince Charles in the Duchy of Lorraine. Should the princes of Germany refuse these offers the Dauphin has orders to burn and ravage all their country with his powerful army. (3) Extract from a letter from the Dauphin's camp, 22 July. Monsieur de Rebenac is there to negotiate with the princes of the Rhine and the circles [Swabia and Franconia?] upon the basis of their neutrality and severance from the alliance; should he succeed, peace is assured. If he fails, the Dauphin will penetrate into the heart of Germany.
