Frontier Forts and Royal Weddings News from Vienna
Reports from Vienna in February reveal plans for a frontier line along the Ecclesiastical State with redoubts and retrenchments to deter entry by few troops. Dispatches discuss Neapolitan evacuations, courtly gifts, Mehemet Pasha’s elevation, and a grand wedding planned for the Prince of Wales at St Paul’s. Obits and court news fill the rest of the column as smuggling, auctions, and parliamentary measures pepper the day.
