War talk and Court Life Amid Ottoman and French Turmoil
A chaotic mix from Amsterdam and Vienna reports on Turkish tensions, Prussian artillery movements, and desertions near Stralsund.

Paris gossip centers on the King’s death and Cardinal de Rohan and Tellier’s constrained roles and worries over constitutional questions.
