Engagement in the Baltic and fortifications at Sta den
Dispatches from Hamburg dated August 12 report a Baltic engagement between the Swedish fleet sailing toward Pomerania and a Danish squadron, with Swedish claims questioned by later letters. News from Stralsund and Copenhagen is sparse, while Saxon artillery arrives before Staden and fortifications near the town proceed. Reports from Bremen outline a Danish siege line and a sally near Buxtehede, capturing officers. At Arras the Allied army near Lens shifts, and Villars counters plans while ensconced near Doway. Vienna cites a Swedish king’s rising finance from Constantinople via 150 purses. Quesnoy notes rapid repairs to breaches and advancing parapets, with bridges and defenses strengthened ahead of expected action.
