British and Continental Movements Across Europe and Mediter
The packet reports Leghorn hosts British warships with two French prizes, and three more British men of war travel from Port Mahon via Fizal and Geno for provisions to Catalonia. In Naples requests from Sir Edward Whitaker’s squadron amount to money, biscuits, wheat, millet, munitions, and soldiers’ gear to support troops bound for Barcelona. Venice notes the Danish king’s arrival and royal receptions, while Vienna covers Prussia tensions over reprisals and the Pope’s influence. Fresh dispatches mention Saxon regiments, French peace hopes fading, and Burgundian reinforcements in Alsace amid mutinies and court intrigues.
