Polish peace aims and Turkish support in European affairs
An 18th century dispatch notes Poland and Austria seeking peace terms with Russia and Prussia, Turkish backing via its Khan with Vienna and Versailles in the background. It cites English and Dutch concerns, naval movements in the Baltic, and movements of troops in Saxony and Pomerania, with reports of privateers, earthquakes, and political intrigues shaping a tense continental balance.
