Financial strains and European war talks in Paris dispatches
Extracts from a Paris letter outline Orry's secret state finances with soaring costs since 1738. Reports note armaments for Brest and Toulon, grain buying expenses, and public works losses. Meanwhile Britain, Sweden, Poland, Prussia, and others loom in alliance talks. Dispatches from Vienna, Breslau, and Berlin update troop movements, sieges, and forthcoming formations as Europe edges toward renewed conflict.
