His Prussian Majesty returned for Answer, that the Complaints of the Court of Warsaw were ill grounded; that he had done nothing more than was consistent with Justice, and his own incontestable Right; and that he wished for nothing more than to avoid all Complaints, by settling the Limits upon a just and solid Footing."
