Influx of War News From Central Europe and Low Countries
Reports from Brussels describe Rome authorizing the Bishop Prince de Salm Salm to hear religious grievances and secularize those deemed worthy. In Belgium, inaugurations at Mons and Namur occurred amid royal oaths, cheers for Francis, and martial music. Prussian officers arrived to aid Austrian plans, with mass troop movements and upcoming interviews between kings to settle war plans. The Empress of Russia backs the allied strategy, while Poland’s defense of its constitution continues. Local authorities announce a weapon buyback at set prices, and Liege supports M Meau as Prince Bishop.
