Answer of the Count of Linzendorff to Morficur De St. Saphorin

The Count replies to the memorial denying confinement of the matter to seizing the Belgrade courier. He reports that the Emperor has not engaged with the purported reports about Ottoman information, and notes that inquiries at the Constantinople conference focused on whether the Porte was informed of the Hanover Treaty to spur war. He describes orders from February 2 to Palen to relay advices about the British ambassador's audience with the Grand Vizier and efforts to incite Turks against the Emperor, and questions the Memorial’s claim of Stanyan’s lack of a treaty copy.
