Great Diligence Recruits Troops and Curtails Exports
From Leiden Gazette dated April 4 and Copenhagen March 25, a detailed wartime update notes Great Diligence used to recruit troops and strengthen cavalry, with many horses in the kingdom to prevent exports. Regular forces and militia embark on a fatiguing naval move to sea for a diversion on Sweden’s coast, while pensions are granted for notable prisoners and military leaders. Officers on both sides are released on parole, and stock and currency quotes from Amsterdam to London are recorded.
