Partial dispatches on European affairs and measures at Rome
The news recounts letters from Madrid about the Duke of Ormond inviting friends to Spain to serve the king, with promises of frontier commands. It notes Spanish fortifications at Bilbao, Jesuit disturbances in Besançon, and troop movements toward the frontier. Reports from Paris, Italy, and Naples describe court cautions, mobilizations, and naval support for Melazzo and Tropea, with details on orders from Turin and Rome. The items include chatter on the Pretender’s residence in Rome, the Duke of Roquelaure's position, and a bishop’s suppression of disturbances in Arras.
