The lettered update notes Barcelona enorbed by sea and land pressure with rising prices, while Weber's raids fail. Vienna reports declining sickness and a Turkish Grand Signior reception of peace ratifications. French expansion from Landau threatens Germany as Turks prepare to fortify fronts. Siege actions near Priburg and Gun battery exchanges cause heavy losses on both sides, with notable officer casualties and modulus fortifications along the Rhine. Movements describe Anglo French and Imperial forces maneuvering to contain the siege and fortify key passes, including the Rhine and Swabian lines.
