Friendship and a Prussian Minister at Berlin
An Extrait from The Hague dated May 30 discusses sending a new Minister to Berlin to reinforce friendship with Prussia, while questioning the depth of that accord. It notes Prussia’s reluctance to guarantee Silesia and cites Versailles views on the Dutch-French stance amid the war. Also reports a French ship's prize, a muting of celebrations, and a Chapel fire at Colerain Inn Pill Lane caused by a boy’s candle.
