Imperial Provisions Move Toward Allied Army in Spring
Cologne reports hundred Imperial provision waggons delivering oats and heading to the Allied Army by week’s end or early next week. Pontoon boats near Duitz may shift to water. Royal carriage returns satisfy contractors. Also, Princess Royal suffers a garden fall with a dislocated foot, resting in her chamber before a first air outing in a chariot. Further dispatches note Lord Sandwich’s expedited return to the Hague and commerce talks with Spain, plus naval prizes from Cadiz and Havannah. A French drive toward Luxembourg and Zealand threats loom as Marshal Saxe concentrates near Antwerpen and Brussels. The Prince of Orange is hinted for Stadtholder status. English privateers and ships patrol Flushing. The letter from Brussels suspects a Spain-France peace plot to profit from trade and eliminate British supremacy on seas.
