__** Summary for January **__ Each country gave different sets of advice about different subjects that had to do with the welfare and relationships with the different countries. The present state of Europe during the month of January began with the victories of the French between the Confederates during the campaign in 1690 during The Siege and Surrender of Mons. Both the confederates and the French had a considerable amount of advantages over each other. The article stated that "One of the greatest changes happened during the last campaign and for which the King of France had the most reason to rejoice, was the happy return of fortune to favor the arms of the..." (State of Europe). Basically, politically, the french were in a situation where they had to fight for and against change.

**Background about the Siege of Mons:** Lasted from March 15th to April 1691 were military operations fought during the 9 years war. It was the main objective for the french for the campaign in the Spanish Netherlands. Neither The French Army of King Louis XIV nor The Grand Alliance under King William III won, they called it a draw and returned to their quarters for the winter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Mons_(1691)).

The War of the League of Augsburg, which lasted from 1688 to 1697, initiated a period of decline in Louis's political and diplomatic fortunes. The conflict arose from two events in the Rhineland. Louis personally supervised the captures of Mons in 1691 and Namur in 1692.

The advice from Rome and Italy was on how the Pope was trying to bring peace between the Catholic Princes. He wanted to to have a conference in order to make them reconcile with each other. The advice from Germany and Turkey spoke about the attacks on the Turks. The article stated that, "The imperials are repelling the Turks on the one side, they are afraid left Teekeley should fall upon them on the other, according to the several orders which he has received from the Grand Seignor (The Present State of Europe).

Advice from France begins with the King satisfied with his sea officers.
