Letters from Madrid Describe European Court Rumors and Affairs
The Madrid letter reports a potential marriage between Infante Don Philip and Princess Anne Charlotte of Lorraine to settle Tuscany Parma and Placentea claims, with the Duke renouncing prior pretensions. It notes the Crown’s Lisbon advice of the Princess of Brazil’s pregnancy, and updates on Nysa, Ocziakow, and Turkish and Russian military movements. It also covers Paris gossip, scandal about courtesans, Free Masonry rumors, Count de Toulouse’s death, and a statistical year-in-disease and casualty summary.
