Turbulent dispatches from Petersbourg to Lisbon and Madrid
A long transimperial letter set reports from Petersbourg, Lisbon, Gibraltar and Madrid. It details Count Munich advancing from Perecop to Baccelaray with Tartars and Cossacks clashing with Saporogue forces, the town and Cham’s palace burning, and plans to besiege Kerez or Kaffa. It notes Persian intrigues with Nadyr, Spanish-Paraguayan exchange, and Abdallah’s return to Mequinez with three army corps.
