Danish and Prussian moves loom in fragile European balance
Letters from Hanburgh report the Duke of Mecklesbourg arriving with two domestics and planning to seek support from the King of Prussia in Berlin. The Emperor’s decree supposedly deprives his brother of regency. The Duke of Halslein-Gottorp travels to Rennebeck for summer. Advices from Peterborough and Stockholm note delays in the czar’s return and Sweden’s ministerial declarations. The Danish king readies 24,200 soldiers plus 6,000 more for security of Schleswig. Paris dispatches claim wagons and king’s baggage set for Compiegne and troops marching toward Sorffins for the congress duties. Continuous European maneuvering hints at a tense continental balance.
