Peace prospects amidst Swiss capitulations and Baltic news
August 1712 dispatch notes Swiss cantons surrender arms and open to peace talks with Bern and Zurich envoys, while regencies press for public tranquility. From Madrid, Spanish and Walloon troops march toward Catalonia as Lerida operations unfold. Hague reports Villars marching on Doway, with Eugene gearing to confront the enemy and a possible general peace near. London letters discuss a higher peace plan involving Doway Valen ciennes Maubeuge and a naval convoy near Scotland.
