Paris Gazette Dated November 12 Reports Fortunes in War
From the Paris Gazette comes word of Lord Lexington's arrival with the King’s approval and audience, a new Algerine envoy lodging at La Merci, and public feasts. Siege updates from Campo Mayor describe bombardments, a failed breakout, breaches, and plans to undermine strong entrenchments. Nearby moves include Don Francisco Caetano d Arragon advancing toward Tarragona and Lerida reporting troop maneuvers, with English and Portuguese forces diminishing. The King appoints Bedmar as commissary to negotiate with Lexington, amid broader signals of peace talks between Grand Signior and Sweden.
