Synopsis
A Collection Of State Papers Relative To The War Against France Now Carrying On By Great Britain And The Several Other European Powers. This work compiles concise metadata-style overviews of late 18th?century diplomacy and military operations tied to the French Revolutionary Wars. It presents two interconnected strands: first, a detailed account of Rastadt peace negotiations between French plenipotentiaries and the Imperial delegation (led by Count Metternich), outlining contentious issues such as Rhine frontiers, fortifications, emigration laws, debts, ecclesiastical and noble property, tolls, and the legal status of émigrants, all framed by formal notes and ultimatums. Second, a naval and prize reports component covering 1799–1800 across the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean theatres, highlighting actions by the Royal Navy, dramatic cut?out operations like the Hermione seizure, and a wide array of prize captures, recaptures, capitulations, and diplomatic correspondence. Overall, the volume illustrates a multi?front effort to constrain France, secure borders, regulate commerce, and coordinate diplomatic and military strategy across Europe and beyond.
