Expedition against Sardinia and Spanish political clash
From the Amsterdam Gazette June items describe an artillery vessel destined for Genoa bound for an expedition against Sardinia, 1000 Imperialists to sail, with foreign troops aboard. Paris prints King Louis XIV’s letter to the Duke of Berwick defending action against Spain, condemning Spain’s minister and affirming a war framed as defense of Europe’s balance, not a personal quarrel with the Spanish king.
