It has pleased the Most High to diffuse the spirit of union and concord among the Princes, whose divisions had spread troubles in the four parts of
the world, and to inspire them with the inclination to cause the comforts of peace to succeed to the misfortunes of a long and bloody war, which
having arisen between England and France during the reign of the
Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the Second,
by the grace of
God, King of Great Britain, of glorious memory, continued under the reign of the
Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the Third, his
successor, and, in its progress, communicated itself to Spain and Portugal: Consequently, the
Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the
Third,
by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenbourg,
Arch Treasurer and Elector of the
Holy Roman Empire; the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, Lewis the Fifteenth, by the grace of God, Most Christian King; and the Most Serene and
Most Potent Prince, Charles the Third, by the grace of God, King of Spain and of the Indies, after having laid the foundations of peace in the
preliminaries signed at Fontainebleau the third of November last; and the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, Don Joseph the First, by the grace of
God, King of Portugal and of the Algarves, after having acceded thereto, determined to compleat, without delay, this great and important work. For
this purpose, the high contracting parties have named and appointed their respective Ambassadors Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary, viz. his
