Negotiations with France Stalled Amid Allied Deliberations
Letters from May report the French plenipotentiaries refusing further talks while the Allies seek a General Congress. Intelligence from Doway and Arleux notes siege progress, tactical moves, and Marlborough surveying battle ground. Despatches mention Saxony Elector, deserters, Grazing forces, and new military promotions in Britain as the war persists.
