Impeachment Talks and Prussian Moves Reported Abroad
Yesterday a mail from Holland details General Uchakoff and M Emmer examining the Duke of Courland on impeachment charges. The inquiry centers on his treasure, his negotiations with powers, and alleged threats to Princess Anne. The Regent would not shed blood, and exile or other fate for the Courland couple is discussed. Meanwhile Prussian troop movements toward Silesia spark Vienna and Breslau dispatches, with declarations of intention to remain on good terms and avoid breach of treaties. The letters outline Queen Maria Theresa’s stance, possible withdrawal of Prussian forces, and warnings against entering Silesia without cause.
