Ambassadorship letters signal Rome Vienna peace talks progress
The Supplement to the Amsterdam Gazette notes Nurcio Piazza’s departure for Vienna and suggests a fresh chance to settle disputes between Rome and Vienna via the French ambassador. It cites a concerted shift toward negotiation, mentions Marshal de Berthier’s likely departure for health reasons, and includes a copied letter to the Pope urging restraint and outlining French conditions for recognizing King Charles. Reports also cover Allied military prep, prisoner exchanges, and troop movements across Venice, Brussels, and Edinburgh, with notes on French officers and ammunition shipments.
