Mail from Flanders and prayers for Modena birth
Yesterday arrived a mail from Flanders reporting the hereditary Princess of Modena recently brought to bed in this city and sent to Modena under Sig Gherardini's care while the Hereditary Prince and Princess remain here. The report also notes English vessels from Algiers with wheat and barley and recounts Barbary pirate activity, plus divers from Cadiz and Smyrna, and political shifts in Parma Modena and Vienna.
