Fragmentary European War Update with Marching Troops
News from June and July reports movable forces across the Rhine and Swabia. Imperialists, Palatines, and Hussars march, with artillery trains and Germanic garrisons, while the Electorate and Hanoverian troops prepare defenses. Messages from Lisbon and Mayence note privateers, ships, and naval activity as sherriffs are elected and trade ships sail to the Baltic and Newfoundland. A separate notice warns of a stolen Spaniel and a deserter from Sir Roger Bradshaigh’s regiment with rewards offered.
