10801. UNTERREDUNG DES KÖNIGS MIT DEM GROSSBRITANNISCHEN MINISTER MITCHELL.

Mitchell berichtet an Holdernesse, Breslau 25. März: „By some conversations I had with His Prussian Majesty before he set out, I find he has hopes to be able to make a defensive campaign, especially if the news of the King of Spain's death should be true, which he believes.

<132>

The King of Prussia will not however omit any favourable opportunity of giving a blow to his enemies; if the French and the troops of the Empire should make their push on the side of Hesse, Prince Henry of Prusse will certainly assist the Prince of Brunswick or act by way of diversion“ . . .
