Supplement to a Staatskritik on the Prussian War Talks
The writer proposes a supplement to a prior letter and mocks Prussian arguments about Austrian superiority. He recalls reports after Charles of Lorraine crossed the Rhine, notes Vienna’s supposed 100,000 troops and Saxon auxiliaries, and argues that the League of Frankfurt shifts public opinion toward peace. He contends Prussia may support the Empire yet fears Russian interference, cites Lord Tyrowley’s demand for 1,000 Russian auxiliaries, and discusses England’s limited aid. He critiques Dutch and Hanoverian plans in Flanders and urges prudent balance of power while endorsing cautious public intelligence amid factional Europe.
