The letter from Lifton denounces delays by the Pope's ministers and outlines a harsh royal plan against Jesuits including execution for conspirators, banishment for those with presumptive proof, and sending others to Rome for the Pope’s disposal. Prague dispatches describe artillery trains for Dresden siege, Magdeburg plans, and cautious French troop movements while reports warn of misreports and fear of punishment for spreading false news.
