Campaign updates from Lerida to Catalonia amid sieges and maneuvers
In August reports recount Spanish and Allied actions across Catalonia and Provence. British letters note French and Spanish movements near Lerida and Barbastro, with engagements at Montijo and Bethune. Claims of victories, troop movements, and negotiations fill dispatches from Hague and London, while casualties and prisoners rise and strategic positions shift as storms, sails, and seasons affect siege outcomes.
