214 FROM MADAME DU DEFFAND 3 APRIL 1772 tations trZs vives des deux ambassadeurs, comme Ztant contraires au Pacte de Famille.5 L'arret de '62 a done ZtZ confirmZ, et tout ce qui viendra de Rome, exceptZ ce qu'on appelle le pZnitentiel, sera en- registrZ au parlement, ce qui sauve la nation de la servitude de Rome, ou le Chancelier, pour gagner le clergZ, voulait la soumettre. Tout ceci vous paraitra un galimatias, mais vous pouvez en conclure que le crZdit du Chancelier recoit une brZche considZrable.6 On dit qu'il est question d'une nZgociation pour la rZconciliation des Princes, et que le d'Aiguillon et les autres ministres sont a la tete, et veulent en enlever l'honneur au Chancelier. II va y avoir une assemblZe extraor dinaire du clergZ; Fordinaire est qu'il n'y en ait que tous les cinq ans, celle-ci sera au bout de trois ans. On demande un don gratuit de douze millions, on en accordera dix; Fusage que Fon fait de tout cet argent est incomprZhensible. On me dit hier qu'il y avait toute ap parence que Fon ne continuerait point a payer au trZsor royal, comme on a fait depuis le commencement de FannZe; enfin, tout ceci parait si incertain, si chancelant, qu'il semble impossible que FZtat prZsent subsiste. Si vous voulez que je vous dise ce que j'ima gine qui arrivera, c'est que le Chancelier sera disgraciZ, que Fon don- nera les sceaux a M. de Boynes,7 que Fon fera quelques changements aux opZrations du Chancelier qui faciliteront aux Princes les moyens de se dZsister avec honneur de leurs protestations, qu'ils retourneront a la cour, qu'ils deviendront les valets de Mme du Barry, et qu'il ne restera que quelques victimes de FhZroisme. Je vois avec regret que M. de Beauvau sera une des principales. Cependant je soupconne qu'il a trouvZ quelques ressources; mais je n'en suis pas assez sure pour hasarder de le dire. 5.

Today political scientists frequently speak of hegemonic states. If we review some of the best-known studies conducted over the last forty-odd years, it is possible to identify a variety of theoretical approaches adopted by those working on the history of imperial or hegemonic states.

French struggle with England for domination of the North American continent can be traced back to the late seventeenth century with the initiation of four major conflicts (taking place partially in Europe, partially in America) and which continued down to the year 1763. The last of these conflicts, the Seven Years’ War, resulted in France losing her major possessions in North America, notably Canada, to Great Britain and giving Louisiana to her ally, Spain.

La Consolidation Juridique Du Système Des Traités D'utrecht Et De Rastatt Par La Diplomatie Franco-Anglaise (1713-1725)
La consolidation juridique du système des traités d'Utrecht et de Rastatt par la diplomatie franco-anglaise (1713-1725) Frederik Dhondt1 Professeur à la Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Chargé de recherches du Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique – Flandre (FWO), Université de Gand Grâce aux travaux de Lucien Bély2, l’étude de la sociabilité internationale s’est imposée comme une précondition évidente à celle des grands accords ou des intrigues politiques de la guerre de Succession d’Espagne. Les interactions, plutôt que les affirmations de positions unilatérales, nous renseignent à la fois sur le mode de penser et d’agir des principaux acteurs politiques. Une culture suppose des référents communs, une éducation partagée, des moments de sociabilité comme des fêtes ou des cérémonies et un ensemble de normes d’action implicites3. La contribution présente approche le monde des diplomates à travers une lecture juridique4. En apportant des réponses complémentaires, cette grille d’interprétation permet d’élucider des situations infiniment compliquées qui échappent aux seules études culturelles ou politiques. Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie désigna les trois décennies après la Paix d’Utrecht comme les « trente heureuses5 ». En effet, la France et la Grande-Bretagne ne se déclarèrent point la guerre jusqu’à la querelle de la Succession d’Autriche6. Ceci constitue une rupture par rapport à la lecture traditionnelle des relations franco-anglaises comme basées sur une rivalité éternelle7. Comment expliquer cette coopération franco-anglaise ? Le grand danger méthodologique d’une étude de la diplomatie de la Régence8 ou de Fleury9 est de se perdre dans le détail de la 1 Je tiens à remercier le professeur Rik Opsommer (Gand) pour ses remarques sur une version antérieure de ce texte.

INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The First Spanish Ambassador to the Sublime Porte: Juan De Bouligny and His Early Activities in Istanbul Based on His Diary

Prof. Kahraman Şakul January 2015, 118 pages The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between Spain and the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth century, based on the diary of the first Spanish ambassador, Juan de Bouligny. He was appointed by the Spanish court to negotiate Peace and Trade Agreements and he stayed for nearly three years (May, 1779–September 1782) in Constantinople. This fully comprehensive diary allows us to see the agreement process through the lens of Spanish plenipotentiary. The questions this study addresses are: (1) in which conjuncture was the agreement signed between these two great powers, (2) what was the function of this agreement, (3) which procedures were conducted throughout the agreement process, and (4) which networks and operations of the Spanish plenipotentiary took place in Constantinople. With the endeavours of diligent plenipotentiary, the agreement process reached a conclusion, however; the newly changed conjuncture did not allow it to be practiced.

Comparative Analysis of the Spanish and French Versions of the Treaty Called "Family Pact" of 1761
ENDLESS : Journal of Futures Studies. Vol. 1 No.1 (2018) Comparative analysis of the Spanish and French versions of the treaty called "Family Pact" of 1761 Luis Mangini University of Cordoba, Spain Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper offers a comparative analysis of the Spanish and French versions of the Pacte de Famille of 1761, where the mutual military alliance of both crowns of Spain and France are reinforced. The main object of this study aims, firstly, the compared linguistic analysis of this historical document; and secondly, to conclude if it is possible to differentiate a Source Text (ST) and a Target Text (TT). This question is not clarified in the Collection of 1796. Once the political and institutional instrument has been introduced, we proceed to study its structure, specially the organization of its articles. Then, both versions are analyzed from lexical-semantic, syntactic and pragmalinguistic levels. The final conclusions will collect the reflections and reasons about the possible translation, adaptation or parallel writing. Keywords: Translation Studies, History, Spain, France, Pacte de Famille. A. INTRODUCTION The War of Succession to the throne of Spain, which took place on the European continent between the years 1701 and 1713-1715, concluded with the arrival of a foreign dynasty in the Iberian country. The Bourbons, originally from France, configured a new plane of political and diplomatic relations between the kingdoms of Spain and France, and to a lesser extent with the kingdoms of southern Italy, which were based on two principles: family kinship and animosity for the emerging maritime power of the kingdom of England.
