Naval and Military Dispatches Reach Lisbon and Brussels
Admiral Walker arrives at Lisbon with 4600 men en route to Barcelona. Reports from Ghent, Lens, and Arleux describe convoys, fortifications, and movements of French and Allied forces across the Low Countries. Marlborough orders leveling French lines and organizes foraging and defence as small engagements and prisoner recoveries occur near Doway, Arleux, and Szilly.
