Forces prepare for review and French troops near Lisle poised
In London and abroad reports say forces are to be reviewed on the sixth instant, with heavy activity to ready troops. French prisoners arrive from Leuze as exchanges come in. French garrisons near Lisle and Ypres are described as ready to move to intercept provisions convoys to lifl. Marlborough holds talks with States ministers as preparations for an early campaign intensify. Lisbon and Edinburgh dispatches note Allied contingents marching and deserters claiming French weakness. Westminster debates new duties on wool and yarn to fund war, with partial approval and rebuke. London also reports Muscovite princes leaving for Holland and regiments sailing to Cork under Baker’s squadron.
