Manifesto Critiques Alberoni Amid Italian Turmoil
Rome reports on a controversial pamphlet attacking Cardinal Alberoni and his role in the St Marino affair, with critics arguing the author unfairly attacks the Cardinal while admitting no proof. The piece suggests the work originates from Fort Urbino and implicates Corfini and Firrao in the plot. France notes campaign preparations and troop dispositions near Wertheim, with imperial artillery movements possible from Nuremberg to Philipsburg. Duffeldorp covers imperial troop readiness to march on the sath, while Hanoverian lines watch imperial maneuvers toward the Austrian Netherlands. Naples details daily reviews of battalions joining the Spanish Army, and Hamburg remarks on Sweden’s Ruffian troops awaiting embarkation.
