Lisbon Letters Detail Spanish Portuguese Engagement at Caya
London May 19 reports from Lisbon about the May 7 engagement near the River Caya where Portuguese forces, aided by English regiments Barrymore and Stanwix, held ground but suffered some losses. Spanish forces and French magnification of Allied losses are noted, with the Guadiana confusion likely a misreference to the River Caya. Turin news mentions preparations for the campaign as mountains thaw and supply issues press Savoyard provinces.
