Dutch Plenipotentiaries and Count de Rechteren Dispute
In Utrecht Sept 6 accounts describe a clash after Count de Rechteren's envoy faced jeers from Lakcer's bootmen and a porter. A demand for satisfaction followed, with Menager replying by letter. The dispute escalated to threats of violence, negotiations with bishops and ministers, and a plan to deny France a conference until justice is served. Other items note allied talks and British dispatches, with various ministers traveling to Hague or Dover.
