France and Mecklemberg News with War Preparations
Reports from Europe describe France with Letters of last importance touching the Treaty of Seville and massing stores of war as officers are ordered to repair to ports. Advices from Constantinople say Sultan Efref to aid Ottoman forces failed, Grand Seignior determined to hold Persia, and Allied plans in Italy dim amid possible Don Carlos expedition. Hamburg and Paris notes discuss troop reinforcements in Alsatia, and a Dutchy dispute over Courland. London letter addresses inoculation of smallpox and a long list of cases, arguing inoculation is less effective than natural exposure with 43 cases and one death among a group including enslaved and free individuals.
