Prolonged War News and Military Moves From Ghent to Bruges
Letters report Bourbon and British forces skirmishing near La Biffle and Douay with French preparation for a Citadel defense. Reports say 5000 boots and 15 cannons are mounted, with French claims of 6000 troops, while shortages and damage to the town loom. News from Ghent, Ostend, and Bruges detail recesses, foraging, and river disruptions as contending sides maneuver along the Scheld and Lys.
