Conference at Congress Heats Up Over Peace Basis
Warsaw reports from Nimiroff of Sept 1 that plenipotentiaries of the Emperor and Russia insist on the uti posthumus as the basis for peace talks. The Porte’s ministers denounce it, with the Reis Effendi preferring a break to continuing on this dishonourable footing. Turkish envoys may concede Asaph to Russia as talks endure likely through winter, possibly moving the Congress to Braclaw.
