From Leiden Gazette April 15 and later dispatches in London describe General Zumlungen’s departure from Bafignang to Orbitello to support Colonel Starembergy near Porte-Hertole with 5000 men. Imperial artillery arrives from Naples. The Portland governor destroys shelters, tortures deserters, and imprisons locals suspected of aiding the Imperialists.
