As soon as the News reach’d _Vienna_ that the King of _England_ had promis’d to recognize the Elector of _Brandenburg_ King of _Prussia_, the remaining Difficulties were soon got over; the Protestations of the Republic of _Poland_ were superseded, and the Emperor declar’d at length that he own’d _Prussia_ for a Kingdom, and the Elector of _Brandenburg_ for King; on condition however, 1. That the Elector should never withdraw from the Empire the Provinces of his Dominions thereon depending. 2. That in the Emperor’s Presence he should require no other Distinctions than those which he actually enjoy’d now. 3. That his Imperial Majesty when he wrote to him should only give him the Title of your _Royal Dilection_. 4. That nevertheless his Ministers at _Vienna_ should be treated on a Par with those of Crown’d Heads. 5. That the Elector should maintain six thousand Men in _Italy_ at his own expence, in case the Emperor should be oblig’d to go to War for the _Spanish_ Succession. 6. That those Troops should remain there as long as the War continu’d. Thus, Madame, after tedious delays the Court of _Vienna_ consented at last to the Success of this great Event, which after all ow’d its cause to the refusal of an Arm-chair, and its issue to the mistake of a Secretary. Nevertheless it did not fail to cost the Elector six Millions, of which the Jesuits of _Vienna_ had 200,000 Crowns to their share. This agreeable News was scarce arriv’d at _Berlin_ when they heard of the Death of the King of _Spain_, which happen’d the 1st of _November_, 1700. His Death was notify’d to the Elector by M. _Desalleurs_, Envoy of _France_ to our Court, as was also the Will whereby the Duke of _Anjou_ was call’d to the Succession of all the late King’s Dominions. The Elector had entered into such Engagements with the Emperor, that he could not own him; for which reason the King of _France_ recall’d M. _Desalleurs_, and likewise refus’d to acknowledge the Elector for King, who in his turn recall’d M. _Spanheim_, and sent him to _England_ with the Title of Ambassador.
