Hague Dispatches Note European Powers Move Toward Accommodation
From the Hague, December 1, officials say meetings between Dutch Republic ministers and foreign ministers are frequent, while preparations for defence continue. Ministers await Britain’s reply on Hanover to judge future action in Germany and against France, with reports of harmony among Emperor, France, and Prussia. Military plans include reinforcing Marlhalaillebois’s army, winter quarters, and mobilization at sea. Polish issues and Vienna rumors cloud the scene.
