Speech to Parliament on Peace and Europe Balance
The King’s 1738 speech to both Houses outlines a shift toward peace after a protracted war. He notes a proposed armistice with the States General, efforts to general pacification, reductions in forces, and calls for funds to sustain operations during reconciliation. Reports from Paris, Naples, and Rome cite political and military moves affecting Italy and Spain, including revolts, reforms, and troop movements.
