GRANDE-ANGLESAXE​

DULWICH, 7 juillet.
Président du Conseil des Ministres supposed within the Sénat that the recent use of the word REVIEW by the Ministre d'État (Northern Secretary) in a dispatch to Cantigny was entirely incorrect, and that the dispatch does not necessarily conflict with the later dispatch to Sereniérre of the pure and simple intolerance of the expansionist ambitions. There is no considerable contradiction in the dispatches on the subject of the Implaric-Oceanic Territory. Ignoring the odious outcries of betrayal from the right, the Président du Conseil stated that he still understands the Dulwich dispatch to mean that Great Engellex has only given way to Cannie concern on condition that the meaning of Cannie concern is to be understood in a more precise manner from the ambassador’s meeting with the Queen. Therefore, instead of trying to make sense of this dispatch, we shall treat is as something so ridiculous that would not deserve to occupy the attention of this chamber and my ministers.

To give an idea of the attitude of the Sénat on the present momentous situation, it is wise to publish the remarks from Nicolas du Blé, marquis d'Huxelles :- Peace is the constant cry of the day, and publications of Wantage with their readers will be loud in their exclamations of joy at the pacific prospects from this exchange. To confide in the language of this chamber, one would believe that a peace agreement was already signed! (Laughter) We cannot but regret the undignified tone assumed by contemporary ministers at the first opportunity for neo-colonial rule, once the most influential Francophone nation in Europe (Sereniérre), went so far as to praise and endorse the despicable conduct of the European Defence Federation. That a peace would be accepted in Wantage with great satisfaction is undeniable, but it is questionable if this strange enthusiasm of the public will not influence the future decisions of our neighbours in that alliance (EDF). If the prospects of a pacific solution for Great Engellex will inspire equal determination and readiness for peace by the alliance (EDF) is yet to be seen.

The War Industry Question is likely to add to the difficulties of the Ducal Government. A Commissioner of the Grand Duke who has just returned from a tour of the manufacturing districts of the Grand Duchy states that there exists a great deal of discontent, owing to apprehensions of industrial reform, even without the intermediate considerations of the Sénat.

The project of a new failway has been lately submitted to the Grand Duke. If carried into exeution, it will be called the Chemin de Fer du Nord, and is to start from Brenier and run to Rieux, thus running diagonally through the whole length of Wantage.

The task of constituting the Grand Duchy of Mormant*, which the Parliament of Dulwich will have to take in hand following the results of a referendum to be organised, is likely, through the exercise of a little ingenuity on the part of her Majesty and Ministers, to see all its difficulties successfully overcome. The response of Valery Giscard Pompidou, the leading politician of Mormant, on the question of a referendum and the formation of a committee, to offer legally binding advice to the Parliament of Dulwich when constituting the Grand Duchy, is both highly encouraging and suggestive. It proves that the future of the Grand Duchy is one of democracy and good will, and it seems to indicate that the principal difficulties of prosperity in the former Montelimar should be overcome with a stable and democratic transition to statehood, which the Grand Duchy is on the way to having. Two questions of great and general interest are involved with these developments between Mormant and Dulwich. One concerns the limits of the Parliament in Dulwich to legislate for the new Grand Duchy. The other concerns the authority of that interesting instrument of democray, the Referendum. With regard to the former point, Valery Giscard Pompidou said that he welcomes the enthusiasm of Dulwich on the important matters for the Grand Duchy. The Parliament in Dulwich would be entirely within its rights if it took the situation of constituting for the Grand Duchy as a case of chopping and changing as it pleased; but nevertheless the exercise of any such right would, from the point of view legitimacy and regional stability, be an intolerable wrong. The right de facto of the Political Establishment now existing within Mormant to settle the affair of a constitution on their own and within their own way is likely to be seen equally to that of Wightland and Zadar-Istria in that it is well established practical politics to simply decree within parliament what has been determined in these territories themselves. Is there, then, no proper function for parliament in this matter of constitution at all except to register the decrees of the people of Mormant and the new establishment there? While certainly an excepted reality it is expected that the reality will not be widely believed around Europe. The Attorney General, Baron Stockwell, was quick to declare to the House of Lords that her Majesty and Ministers recognise that it is for the Grand Duchy of Mormant, and for it alone, to determine the nature of the constitution under which the Grand Duchy will be formed. But with regard to the process the case is hardly clear and will, undoubtedly, lead to confusion and rejection within parts of Europe. Equally, Dulwich and Mormant seek to limit potential confusion by the authority of a Referendum that will form the foundation of the committee’s work; the committee will be formed following the referendum and comprise politicians from Mormant, including Pompidou, and Law Lords from Dulwich. It is the committee that many fear will be the source of European contention. It will be formed as a Parliamentary body in Dulwich, as the Parliament in Valmy is now not functioning, that’s formal position will be to advise the House of Lords and the Commons Assembly on legislating the constitution – though this advice will be legally binding. The position of the Law Lords is to ensure the legal legitimacy of the constitution and to guarantee areas within it for the development of constitutionally bound association and co-operation with Great Engellex that will be determined in the future. What occupies Pompidou and Dulwich at the present moment is the formation of a timetable on the referendum to be held in the Occupied Western-Central Provinces of Montelimar on the Grand Duchy question. It is likely that the Engellexic Army will swell dramatically in there provinces to protect the democratic process and, though not remarked on by Ministers or the Queen-Empress, the leader of the Whig Party has suggested forming a body of European monitors to partake in the referendum process.

Duc d’Aubigny, a Montel plenipotentiary, had proceeded to Biden to deliver to the Grand Duke of Wantage a letter on behalf of the people of the Kingdom of Montelimar. His letter, assumed to thank Wantage for the contribution made in ending the Federation’s control over Montelimar, will not be presented to the Président du Conseil des Ministres and Sénat before the conclusion of the Congress of Engello-Montel in Dulwich. The stay at Biden will be short. Whilst the Grand Duke is entertaining his Court at Biden with opera and balls, it is said that very grave political questions are being settled privately within the saloons of political Biden, which are interesting to every country in Preuti-Borussia it has been claimed. The Engelleux-at-Arms, that is the War Secretary, was invited to attend Biden from Thursday until Monday, further evidence of the importance of the questions in the capital of Wantage as the Grand Duke wishes a Secretary of State to be present on the occasion of such discussions.

The Grand Duke has generally a motive in his proceedings, and in all probability his desire to unite representatives of Montelimar and Dulwich round the Grand Ducal table, before the Dulwich conferences, was likely intended to create a good understanding of the sincerity of Wantage in its endeavour. The Duc d’Aubigny’s visit will not be confined it is said to amusement only. It is likely that there shall be some address from the Ducal Palace, endorsed by the Président du Conseil des Ministres, with satisfactory explanations for the people of Wantage; or, on the other hand, that Wantage has no longer any hesitation with reference to the constitutional question which had arisen with the annexation of Flanders-Hainaut, or the necessity of forming a permanent force of civil enforcement with some military force – of the Wantage Army, or a combined contingent from the military and constabulary united with what already garrisons the province of Flanders-Hainaut. A spokesman for the Ducal Palace has assured that the Grand Duke is certainly now perfectly aware that the successful execution of Flanders-Hainaut’s assimilation into the Grand Duchy – economically and politically – is as necessary for the honour of Wantage and the future tranquillity of Preuti-Borussia as it is for her Majesty’s Imperial Cabinet in Dulwich.

The Grand Duke gives much latitude, beyond constitutional requirement, to his ministers, and he takes the counsel of the Sénat on great questions that fall before him. The assimilation question is likely to add to the difficulties of the Imperial Parliament in Dulwich. A minister of Wantage who has just returned from a tour of several manufacturing districts tates that there exists a great deal of discontent, owing to apprehensions of Engellexic industry and labour laws which are argued to be a gross degradation of Montel laws.

Nouvelles étrangères

The Hammersmith based Guardian, in an article worthy of very serious consideration, shadows forth some of the points which are likely to form a subject of great difficulty in the coming conferences in Dulwich. Two points in particular, the Guardian has learned from an interview with Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, occupy at this moment the special attention of Dulwich and Christiansborg. The first and most important of these is whether or not Frœschwiller-Wœrth will become an independent state or remain Montel? Talleyrand-Périgord, leading the delegation for this war torn strip of land, has already insisted upon the independence, and the Duc de Fontaine-Harcourt will as certainly resist the proposition; the question is of immense importance in regard to the probable issue of negotiations, because it forms no part of the original points of agreement between Dulwich and the Duc de Fontaine-Harcourt Coalition on post-war Montelimar, it had been seen that no serious difference of opinion could arise with Frœschwiller-Wœrth but Fontaine-Harcourt remains laboured under the illusion that the eastern territory will be simply de-militarised. Dulwich had firmly expressed that closure. Consequently there will not be created nor preserved any military or air arsenals there. Talleyrand-Périgord had discovered the Dulwich note on this matter and stated in his interview that it was wanting in precision and form, and was open to few different interpretations, he expressed that he intended to propose thus :- no land or air arsenals will be created or preserved within Frœschwiller-Wœrth of any nationality and origin. In order to justify his proposal, he intends to not fail to point out the cause of the war against Montelimar; he will affirm that not peace can be permanently achieved for Preuti-Borussia as long as neighbouring powers are prepared to finance, manufacture and deploy military expeditions within the territory. Under the authority of the last Northern Minister, Anthony Pelham-Holles, Dulwich had already proposed that the eastern territory should be de-militarised or stipulate a number of troops. Talleyrand-Périgord believes that with the Duke of Nonsuch Great Engellex will push for a complete de-militarisation of the east. The second point of anticipated difficulty is a war indemnity to Frœschwiller-Wœrth, which the Guardian believes Dulwich is resolved not to formally agree to. Notwithstanding all this, the Guardian concludes by expressing a firm belief that peace will concluded in Dulwich, and not Christiansborg. But for that it offers the reason that, since the plenipotentiaries will all desire the same end, namely peace, they cannot fail to agree as to the means. In Kyiv an act of the most dastardly kind has transformed the diplomatic community of the collectivist capital city into an alarmed and energetic flutter as embassies within the capital hope to be spared the spectacular belligerency of a, so far, unnamed group that destroyed the Wieser embassy.

The Sénat has vindicated the honour and loyalty of the Grand Duchy of Wantage. An address condemning the election of a Wieser to the Papal Crown and the manner in which the Borussian League, with its client states in the European Defence Federation, was mobilised to corrupt the Sistine Chapel, was carried at seven o’clock on Thursday evening, by a majority of three-hundred-twenty-nine against seventy-one.

The question has been decided. The Pope, Martin VI, is not to presume a welcoming reception by the Grand Duchy of Wantage, which at present contains a population of nineteen-million Catholic followers of the Capitoline Church. If the debate had been prolonged, according to the desire expressed by some members representing constituencies of Flanders-Hainaut, the result would have made little difference, for the feeble remarks made on Wednesday, in excuse for, or justification of, the Wieser-Borussian interference in the Holy See election, show how ineffectual any attempt would have been to overcome the great weight of argument advanced upon the other side. The Président du Conseil des Ministres’ speech was singularly tame and inconclusive, and should one read it a few times, one cannot help wondering what caused the Grand Duke to have thought it necessary to send for him to lead the Grand Ducal Ministry in Biden. The Président du Conseil des Ministres is so deeply tinged with Papal-Borussianism as to render it impossible that he could ever be useful or acceptable to Great Engellex in an Imperial Ministry capacity.

If the opponents of the Address desired to establish a political reputation by the arguments which they have advanced in support of their view of the question, they would sadly disappointed; for nothing could be more puerile and illogical, than their remarks. Arnaud Amanieu (Président du Conseil des Ministres), Louise Bénédicte, and Françoise-Athénaïs the Marquise de Montespan are opposed to objections to the new Pope, because they think it unnecessary; and it should be concluded that if those honourable and noble persons were to see a were to see a demonstration not merely of loud opinions but of burning flags and effigies in the street before their houses (as has been experienced in some parts of the Catholic heartlands of Walssex-Battent and Hessex, to the great horror of Cardinal Manning), they would, notwithstanding, go to bed in comfort and security.

The question which now circulates the tearooms and boulevards of Biden, is this, whether or not the Grand Duke shall be a licensed heretic in any response or reaction from Pope Martin VI, especially as the Grand Ducal family take their Catholicism very seriously.

Also in Biden, the more people inquire into the situation of an impending change of ministry, affecting the Pitt and Whig parties, the more many here are convinced of finding the conviction of the fact impressed upon the minds of all the intimates and hangars-on of the Imperial Metropolis.

At all events of this, two portions of the original story are decidedly exact; those, namely, relating to the serious cracks in the Coalition of reform-leaning Pitts and Whigs, and to the prospect of a great increase in electoral support for the Salisbury Coalition. Of this, not many would have believed this to be happening a month ago, or any suggestion of the Coalition collapse being entertained. The Grand Duke himself, it has been said on good authority, believes of the situation as exactly deserving, but also quite surprising; and, it is fancied, has hinted as much to some persons who have not kept the matter a perfect secret. It is, however, quite well known that her Highness, the Grand Duchess, believes Lady Salisbury and her party may fair very well in a future general election, should it be done soon, and so long as the front benches of the Pitts and Whigs remain divorced of support from their backbenches on reform. It really is one of the amusing pictures of these times in Great Engellex, to watch the importance of the uniformed petticoats of Salisbury, who began life by being a kind of porcelain instrument of their husband’s business and political affairs, and who now derive their fancied position in the country from two essentially extraneous sources;- from the fact that the Plantagenet Estate (referring to Parliament) is markedly divorced from the realities of the lower orders, and of political reform having a very powerful, yet sly, patron in a certainly Imperial Position.

His Holy Father is most disheartened by the words coming from from the Senat of Wantage. As such, he would like to visit Wantage and speak directly to the Senat in the hopes of easing worries about political control on Capitoline hill. While Wantage may have concerns about the influence of Wiese or the EDF, the College of Cardinals is made up of men of God from across the world, of many nations and ethnicities. No one controls the swing of the papal vote except the Holy Spirit, and no one commands the Vicar of Christ except Christ himself.

"It is unfortunate that certain officials desire to politicise the election of the Holy Father, who is but a mortal man before God, and devolve it from a spiritual to a political event. Allegations of the Reich influencing the papal vote is also laughable, as the voting cardinals were barred from any communication with the outside world and merely voted with the Holy Spirit in their hearts and minds, inspiring them to carry out nobody's will but God's.

"The Reich, while standing steadfast in its policy of armed neutrality and the protection of its immediate interests, will practice no blasphemy such as attempting to control a sacred, neutral and apolitical institution such as the Holy See, which is to serve the interests of the One True Faith and Mankind rather than Man alone. It is our humblest hope that all will realise that not everything in this world is a sword to wield against their enemies."
