Messages From Constantinople On War and Negotiation
Yesterday's mail from Holland reports two Divan factions. One seeks peace with Russia, the other demands continued war with vigor. The Grand Signor invites Baron Dahlman to join the army for talks with the Grand Vizir to push a peace, while preparations for war surge across the empire. Reports recount troop movements in Hungary and Prussia, fortifications along the Danube, and potential accommodations with Russia. The French court and Austrian positions remain unsettled as brigades are redirected toward Poilipfourg and Fort Khel.
