Duke de Briffac Reports Prague Siege Conditions
The Duke de Briffac arrived from Prague with details of the siege, noting 24,000 troops in the city, 1,500 cavalry, and Marshal Broglio's post at a castle to aid provisions. He claims Count de Saxe moved through Bohemia with 16,020 men, and that 406 prisoners were taken at Plana after a brief resistance. Also reports on Capt. Middleton’s North-West Passage search and local naval-administrative appointments and weddings in London.
