Royalist Letter Warns France Threatens Britain and Austria
A correspondent argues that French ambition risks civil war in Britain and calls for backing Russia and Spain as bulwarks. He defends Prussia and Austria as allies against France, warns of France mediating peace to bind Austria to Bourbon interests, and urges timely action to protect trade and balance of power amid Turkish mediation. He cites Russian victories at Asaph and Oczakov, praises Munich and Lacy, and recalls 50,000 Turks and 70,000 Tartars besieging a fortress to illustrate the warlike context.
