Chevalier Fourbin failed landings off the coast, returning toward Ancona as Emperor plans funds and troops for Prince Eugene to sustain the war in Italy. The Pope Venetians seek peace terms with France, while Portugal may join the Grand Alliance through Wallestein’s embassy. Imperial measures seize lands of the Elector of Cologne and fund campaigns in Italy and Bavaria. Imperial Madrid dispatches discuss forces raised in the Empire and potential Rhine Army reinforcements for next summer.
