Thorn on the Confederacy Debate and Polish Affairs
A fragmentary historical note discusses whether a city should join a Confederacy formed at Thorn on the 26th by the Dissidents of Great and Little Poland. Debates led to accession only under certain conditions to avoid courtly resentment. It mentions Polish-Russian tensions, grain shipments, a Verdun bishop departing by royal order, and clerical acts and remonstrances in 1765 linked to church authority and sacraments in Paris and Orleans.
