Description

Folio 193: Newcastle to Albemarle. In contrast to the declared attitude of St. Contest, Vergennes has been uttering threats to Count Stadion, the Elector of Trèves and Baron Vorster about the election of the King of the Romans and he is supporting the claims of theElector Palatine. Encloses a letter to Keith and Hyndford and one to Vorster. The King will urge the Empire to make reasonable concessions, supported by Mainz and Bavaria. Prussia only stipulated the cession of Pleystein in the Treaty of Dresden. Otherwise the Palatinate can only expect money. The election must proceed. The Elector of Cologne is pressing claims, instigated by Prussia. If France persists in threats, the result could be a general war.

Date and place: 1752 June 18/29 Hanover.
