Antwerp Article Sparks Debate Over Prussia and Empire
A London reader quotes a Antwerp dispatch criticizing Count Seckendorf and the Prussian court. The writer argues King Frederick William I cannot protect Seckendorf or appoint a commissary to judge the Emperor's officers, contending such acts would undermine the Empire’s sovereignty. The piece questions Seckendorff’s conduct and cites accounts of army finances and paymaster duties.
