War News From The Divan To The Turkish Front
On Tuesday a British packet arrived followed by another with a French and Dutch mail from Constantinople. Two factions in the Divan divide over accommodation with Raffia while opposing forces push for continued war against the Russians. The Grand Seignior signals openness to a tour to the army but Russia and Porte hold back. War preparations surge across the empire as funds for the campaign are ordered. Naples reports Duke of Berwick to Vienna Madrid alliance efforts. Other dispatches note Spanish troops decommission, Ottoman frontier garrisons swelling, and Tuscany evacuation. Vienna and Paris news cover refreshed recruitment, papal taxation, and troop reductions in January programs.
