Foreign Affairs. Genoa demands indemnity and barrier in peace talks
An update from The Hague reports Genoa pressing for full indemnification and a security barrier after the Worms treaty. Paris and Madrid insist on war-party interests and evacuation first, warning the Genoese to accept peace terms as part of broader settlement. Additional dispatches note Polish and Dutch concerns at Aix la Chapelle, with fears of tax-driven unrest and cautious progress toward general peace. An officer’s private letter from Parma describes a murder tied to sanctuary rights, with a regiment handling the case and possible desert, and civic notices from Dublin and Waterford detail marriages, church funding, and local robberies amid volatile times.
