Cantons Reject Dutch Anjou Recognition Amid European Tensions
In a dated dispatch the Dyet reports Zurich and the Helvetick Body resist recognizing the Duke of Anjou as King of Spain. They rebuke French mediation, reject the Prince of Wales, and defer congratulating the House of Hanover. Letters from France are cited to defend moderation while England’s Parliament is blamed for events. War fears rise as Dutch, Spanish forces and Bedmar actions threaten renewed hostilities. Reports touch Poland, Sweden, and livinia while Paris sees ongoing intrigue and court embassies.
