Armament rumors from Barcelona spark debate in Utrecht Gazette
A Barcelona letter challenges reports of a large armament, claiming actual troop numbers in Catalonia are far lower than 24 to 25 thousand. Witnesses say 10,900 at most, with quiet quarters and few foreign transports observed. The piece casts doubt on sensational claims and cites conflicting notices from Leghorn and Genoa. It also notes Paris court moves and Don Jose Patinha's private dispatches to the monarchy.
