Parisian and European Diplomatic Turmoil Reported Abroad
Yesterday arrived the Mail from France with fresh instructions to OLONEL Pohlentz and Count de Lagnasco. Saxony, Bavaria, and the Emperor’s agents appear aligned over the Deux-Ponts succession. Reports of a tour into Great Britain by the Duke of Lorraine and French troop movements near Bergraben and d Anveylery unfold amid Ottoman and Spanish court happenings. Naval movements include British and Dutch squadrons toward Barcelona. The King of France grants pensions to noted officers and suppresses a Sardinian-leaning writ, while Nantes notes India Company profits and a new artillery manual. Maritime arrivals detail Dover and Plymouth traffic, with ships from Barbadoes and Virginia.
