Siege activity and political rhetoric amid allied advances
Reports from Hague indicate changing batteries and preparations for a swift siege end as Allied forces move. An express letter arrives detailing the enemy decamping at dusk and crossing the Scarpe toward Lens, with plans to relieve Douay. Concurrent dispatches note Medinaceli’s confinement, Anjou’s guard, and Deliberations on Antwerp and Versailles responses, amid polemical clamor from Sacheverell era mobs and debates on church and state.
