Post Master Report From May 7 Dispatches
Reports from the front include a British packet arrival with prisoner captures near Doway and details of trench actions at night. News from Madrid mentions Medina Celi’s arrest and secretaries, with threats of estate forfeiture for future disobedience and a large ammunition convoy. Continental movements note Stasremberg’s forces near Argramon and entrenchments on the Cervera line. A violent storm at Hambourg sinks ships, and an infectious distemper spreads in parts of Prussia as alliances shift between Russia and Poland.
