Dutch Proposals on Peace Basis For General Settlement
Letters from Utrecht dated August 2 report Holland's states have rejected an arms suspension with France yet demand solid terms. They seek bases including the 1709 preliminaries barrier with Doway Valenciennes or Maubeuge, the 1664 tariff with France, exclusion of Bavaria and Cologne sectors, Alsace and Strasburg within empire limits, and Sicily ceded to the Emperor. Plenipotentiaries of England discuss admitting Philip’s negotiators and possibly moving the Congress to a place accessible to Spanish ministers.
