Finland Proposal and War News Surge in Imperial Manifesto
A long excerpt from a May manifesto outlines Empress Catherine II’s pledge to Finland and neighboring states, offering aid and independence if Finland remains loyal or proposing a new self governing Finnish establishment as a buffer between Russia and Sweden. The report also notes military movements in Moravia, Silesia, and Bohemia, with Austrian actions against Prussian forces and a French-Russian strategic context. Deal and London dispatches report ship movements, naval readiness, and ongoing financial disturbances including bankruptcies and market data.
