Perfect Union via Peace Amid War Talks in Paris
The Abbot du Bois in Paris on January 19 1720 informs Marquis Scotti that Paris seeks a union but only through peace with Spain and other powers. He notes orders about Fontarabiz and St Sebastian forts, warns that a Spanish offensive may trigger destruction, and stresses that suspending armistice across all fronts is unlikely while London’s aim remains.
