Memorial on Neufchatel Succession from French Ambassador
Basil, ambassador of France to the Swiss Cantons, presents a memorial urging the cantons allied with Neufchatel to back French pretenders to the Principality. The document argues the French king’s intention to protect rightful claimants, warns against Brandenbourg, and cites Metternich and the 1691 promise as context. It notes the court of twelve to decide the controversy will convene soon, and reports Hannover’s appeal for subsidies to support imperial army efforts amid French plunder.
