Alarm on the Coast and French Pressure at Sea
Paris reports French heavy artillery and ships massing at Dunkirk and St Valery as British fleets gather. Dispatches state Spain terms stall peace talks, with Marlborough and Villars preparing for battle near Bethune and Arras. London and Cork items note ships sailing west and provisioning, while a public notice advertises fir trees for sale near Cork.
