The Reports of a Peace are renewed, and it is certain that the Marquis de Staremberg, the Austrian Minister, has frequent Conferences with our Ministry, who have communicated to him eight Articles (before published) which the King would make the Basis of a general Pacification; signifying at the same Time, That in restoring the Austrian Netherlands to the Queen of Hungary, his Majesty was disposed to secure to those Countries a perpetual Neutrality, under the Guaranty of France, Great Britain, and the United Provinces; that by this Means the Article of the Demolition of the Works of Luxemburgh, and the Cession of the District about Dunkirk, would of Course be of no Signification, because the Neutrality would render them absolutely indifferent to France; that his Majesty would leave the Court of Vienna to settle the Guard of the Austrian Netherlands, but was of Opinion, that as they were to be the common Barrier of the three Powers who guarantied their Neutrality, it would be proper to entrust them to Swiss Troops, who should be in the Pay of the said Powers together.
These Propositions were immediately sent by a Courier to Vienna, and another Courier was dispatched to Madrid to M. de Noailles, for him to communicate them to their Catholick Majesties.
