Advices on European War Preparations and Alliances
Late last night a British packet arrived and in the morning another with news of 2 French and Dutch ships. Orders to Admiral Kruynits to embark with the fleet of 60 plus ships toward Livonia near Riga, possibly to carry troops. Reports claim potential actions against Wager’s fleet before Nysgen. Extrat from Germany notes Spanish war preparations, Russian secrecy, plague in Cairo, Cadiz ramparts, Vienna and Rosa treaties, and swayed Sweden toward Vienna’s alliance. Shared: neutrality on Oftersd, succession talks for Sweden, and potential troop concessions from Bavaria and Saxony.
