In this extraordinary letter, addressed to Count Kinsky, the imperial ambassador in London, the emperor wrote: "On the death of Augustus II., King of Poland, my first care was to communicate to the King of England the principles on which I acted.
The first step was to assure himself of the sentiments of his principal officers, and then to try the attachment of the army, which he had so long confidently reckoned on.
