Content Description
Has little news not already communicated to Mr Bromley or the Bishop of London; wishes to travel to England for further instructions as to how to proceed on the issue of 'Trade to Flanders'; says that the situation has been altered now that the Emperor has made peace and that Prince Eugene is expected in May to discuss the receipt of the Spanish Netherlands for the Emperor; comments on negotiations in the Hague between various European leaders; comments on the quartering of the Danes; reports they have agreed to give up their demands for £15,000 from England, because of their desertion of the Duke of Ormond; fears that the 'squabling' of the Emperor will give France an opportunity to assist the Pretender.
