Rhine War News and Army Appointments From May 1735
The Daily Courant reports ongoing Rhine operations with Marshals du Bourg and Coigny inspecting riverfront works for galliots to aid the Rhine campaign. Vienna notes Prince Eugene to resume command, Russian reinforcements, and talks with Bavaria seeming suspended. Frankfort and Koblenz relay troop movements, pontoon deliveries, and anticipated troop concentrations. Detailing sieges, bridges, and supply logistics, the dispatches cover broader European fronts, inclining toward imperial and Prussian forces and their supply lines. Earlier items mention theater at Spires, Neckerau, and Bruchsal with Danish and French contingents converging, alongside assorted local incidents and social notes.
