No appearance of the two Northern Crowns going to war after the Swedish plan being detected, and the consequent declaration of Russia in favour of Denmark.
In case, however, this event should soon take place, Russia might fully answer every purpose of defensive alliance in support of Denmark, unless France should think proper to join Sweden, and in that case, independent of any new connection, could England suffer a French fleet on the Baltic, without sending a strong force there likewise ?
The suffering Denmark to be in any case overpowered by Sweden would be in fact sacrificing the North to the Views of France. Only general assurances of the Friendly Disposition of England towards Denmark. That wee flatter ourselves the Hostile Designs of Sweden are laid aside, which, had they been carried into execution, could not by any means have been looked upon with indifference by this Court. The Friendly declaration of Eussia towards Denmark has given great pleasure to the King; the respectable assistance of that Power would doubtless have been infinitely more than sufficient to have defeated the ambitious projects of Sweden.
