Projections of Armies and Naval Moves Across Europe
From Petersbourg comes notice of twelve tall men eight feet two inches, sent as a present to the King of Prussia, and thirty more from Persia to complete his granadiers. Moscow letters say the Czar plans thirty-six ships at Archangel and to defend Tartary and Persia borders, with reinforcements soon. A squadron of twelve English ships is to be expelled from Italian waters next spring to thwart arms for the Pretender. Paris reports the Pope’s death and a likely successor. Holland mail notes a Turkish column marching toward Persia to counter the Czar. Also, a patent is granted for a new engine to draw and spin thread, and executions in Marshalsea near Ireland are to be tried after holidays. Ongoing war stores are being shipped from the Tower and Woolwich to Jamaica. A translated Irish history book is set for subscription, with prompts for Dublin booksellers and shops.
