Siege operations and fleets from Lisle to Ostend
Reports from Sept 20 to Sept 21 detail reliefs at Lifle and Courtrai, gains on the Grand Breach and counterguards, and heavy fighting with brigades and granadiers. Wounds to the Prince of Savoy are described, Marlborough directing from the trenches, with future concerns over season and powder. Jamaica dispatches credit a 70-gun expedition against French and Spanish ships on the Carthagena coast, praising Commodore Wage and detailing forces and ships. The Paris Gazette notes the Elector of Bavaria leaving the Rhine, Ville lis siege developments, Boufflers repairs, and a grenadier captain’s daring counter.
