Description

Folio 214: Pitt to Stanley. France is delaying negotiations with Britain, in order to push her one great operation in Germany. She has no right to meddle in Britain's relations with Spain.

Refers to the surrender of Pondicherry [f.197]. Encloses ultimatum in reply to f.187. Stanley is to warn of his possible withdrawal. He has discretion to discuss Dunkirk, but not beyond the terms of the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. He may offer reasonable co-operation for France to obtain negroes. Encloses copies of ff.208, 210, 212, also Gazettes giving the circumstances of `the great and glorious event in Westphalia'. Dominica has been taken.
