Mail from Constantinople and Europe rumors of war and plague
The lettered world reports Persia’s new Sophi Thomas has spurred war against the Grand Sign and a renewed plague in the capital. Vessels are seized near Leghorn, and Madrid and Barcelona prepare fleets for possible action in Sicily or Porto Ferraro. Paris notes Spain may defer Don Carlos’s Italian project until next spring while considering ambassadorial moves and winter expedients.
