Movements Toward Mons and Dutch Trade News
Dispatches describe forces moving toward Mons to deter the enemy with diversions. Prince Eugene may arrive near Mons on the road to Aeth to threaten the Scheldt, with a garrison of eight battalions. Reports note Dutch vessels and Swiss and German deserters, Jesuit actions in Hungary, and Danes invading Bremen. Whitehall letters mention battalions sent to Bruges and Dunkirk, while Bern forces rout Lucerne and Artau enemies as Protestant casualties rise.
