Hl. 300: “By a fair interpretation of the words of the preliminary treaty all the important interests of the King and the States are already determined, and ought not therefore, strictly speaking, to be brought anymore into debate.” The Republic and Sweden had both joined the Hanover alliance, without however entering into any engagement as regards each other. Now to render the union of all members of the alliance as close as possible, Horace Walpole desired that these powers should make the engagements they were each under to England and France mutual between themselves.

  31. This is said expressly in the secret instructions to the plenipotentiaries; so it is erroneous to ascribe to the Cardinal the opinion that “the combination of England and the Emperor would be too strong for France and Spain,” as has been done (Eng. Hist. Rev. XVI, 318).

That Pesters’ memorial was virtually that of Horace Walpole, we infer from two circumstances. The ten points it contained are all of them, except the last, agreeable to the English method? and not to the resolution of the States of 15 Mch. ′28 or to Slinge-landt’s system. Secondly, it is expressly said that Pesters had drawn it up in collaboration with Horace Walpole (Finch to Townshend, 6 Apr. ′28, R. O. Hl. 299; the memorial is enclosed in this).

That he was informed of it, is probably due to Chauvelin. At all events the latter advised the Cardinal to so inform him, arguing that if he did not do so himself, Horace Walpole would do so, in spite of his promise of secrecy, in order in this way to gain the Dutch against France (Chauvelin to Fleury, 16 June ′28, A.

The remark regarding the English government was made by the Pensionary himself. In another conversation with Chesterfield he said, such a treaty was at the best so much “waste paper” (Chesterfield to Townshend, 27 July ′28, R. O. Hl. 301).

Concerning the conduct of the French ministers as to the Juliers and Bergh matter, Hop wrote to Slingelandt: “Ils veulent l’employer comme un motif qui animerait les quatre Electeurs à recourir aux liaisons avec eux dont la principale raison cesserait si on fixait le sort de ces états” (10 Sept. ′28, R. A. Hl. 2982), and shortly afterwards: “Ce n’est pas tant la crainte des Impériaux qui empéche de parler dans le traité provisionel des affaires de Juliers et de Bergue que bien de ne pas ôter aux Electeurs l’aiguillon qui les fera aller plus vite pour s’adresser aux alliés d’Hanovre, à quoi ils seraient peut-être moins portés si cette affaire était reglée d’une facon qui les interesse si fort” (24 Sept. ′28, ibid). 1) Chesterfield to Townshend, 24 and 25 June ′28, Townshend to Chesterfield, 18 June ′28, R. O. Hl. 300. Rosenlehner (op. cit. 422) is mistaken in thinking the four Electors were invited to join the Hanover alliance.
