, lot. Cit. Cobenzl's ' duplicity ' towards Goltz furnished the Prussian ministry with a theme for frequent jeremiads; but the duplicity was about equal on both ■sides. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA DISAGREE 335 through the earnest intervention of the Emperor; and that this intervention could easily be had — at the price of Ansbach and Baireuth. If the two Courts were once agreed on this latter point, it was said, they could immediately begin a joint negotia- tion with Russia with good hopes of success. ...1 At the same time Spielmann took up a high tone in his discus- sions with Haugwitz. Without the cession of the Margraviates, he constantly declared, the whole Bavarian-Polish plan would have to be given up; but, on the other hand, if the King consented to. Part with those possessions, Prussia might have whatever she might desire in Poland. Haugwitz, however, knew a clever counter-thrust. If the Bavarian-Polish plan were abandoned, he said, the two Courts would have to return to the old idea of seeking their indemnities from France; and in that case his sovereign would claim Juliers and Berg.
