Vienna notes Sir Mor Ton Edward Eden sent two couriers on the 16th and 17th to Lisle and London after a conference with Aaron Trucur. Mantua remains an obstacle to the definitive peace with France, with the Imperial authorities resisting surrender while the Directory hesitates to restore it, though hopes persist for removal next month.
