Large Austrian troop movements and Baltic diplomacy reported
From Breslau to Hanover and Dantzick, May reports describe a large Austrian force assembling in Nafsan territory with possible march toward the Austrian Netherlands. Letters mention Greek religious liberty at the Fair of a city and a whimsical hunting tale of the king, while Warsaw notes Count Poniatowski’s recovery and envoys to Grodno. A Hanover extract discusses Camps, alliances with Austria, and concerns over Crown Army arguments and Courland, amid broader European intrigues. Also, a Virginia voyage reports Captain Gordon capturing a French ship laden with sugar, rum, money, and plate after detaining a Montserrat merchantman convoy.
