Conference at Cotre over Chancellor Marina affair
The Grifon Leagues met at Cotre by the Emperor’s minister’s request to hear a memorial on Chancellor Marina who sought refuge in Vienna. The Leagues refused changes to the Marina case and demanded clearer proof on any insult to the Emperor and on alleged intrigues against his rights. Count Colloredo set out for court visits and funds for war, while Belgrade prepares for an army near Futack. The report also notes Auckland forces, troop movements, and assorted local news including marriages, deaths, and market updates.
