Corsican settlement proposal and Corsica news abroad
A Dec 25 report from Leghorn notes a proposal to the Corsicans to settle an island in the fall of a republic in exchange for ceding Bastia and another port to England. Subsequent dispatches from Florence, Vienna, and The Hague describe naval actions, diplomatic warnings, treaty negotiations, and shifts in European powers as they seek peace and decide subsidies and troop allocations.
