News from Europe on Naval Movements and Fortified Towns
From Cadiz and other ports word arrives of ships taken by Captain Caffart reaching Galicia and Pontevedra. His squadron attacked Fort de la Praye near St Jago, captured the town after a harsh bombardment, and torched it after failed ransom. Reports also describe Dutch and Bavarian troop movements around Bruges, Dunkirk, and the Haine river, with allied forces advancing and skirmishes near Tournay and Mons as August unfolds.
