Portuguese Army Seizes Xeres de Badajoz In Lisbon Letters
Postscript to the Dublin Gazette reports from Lisbon that 13,000 Portuguese troops took Xeres de Badajoz, compelled inhabitants to pay 25,000 pistoles, and provided provisions. There is no confirmation of advancing toward Toledo. The Brazil fleet arriving at Lisbon carried more gold than usual. In London, a loyal address from the Lord Mayor and city commissioners pledges fidelity to the crown and honor to defend the Protestant succession and church. The Queen replies praising the city’s peace, urging maintenance of public credit.
