Murder of Swedish Major and French Merchant in Breslau
An elaborate account from Breslau details a Dutch-like pursuit and capture of a Swedish Major and a French Merchant returning from Constantinople. Officials seized papers including passports and a plan of military operations. The Major was shot, his body mutilated, and the French Merchant carried into Saxony. The incident involved Captain Kutzler and dragoons under imperial orders, with threats and diplomatic overtones from Saxony and Warsaw. Port news follows with ships and arrivals.
