Warlike preparations and European intrigues in 18th century report
The London Evening Post notes ongoing warlike preparations, troop movements toward Tuscany, and diplomatic dispatches from Naples and Berlin. Details include Britain’s ministerial overtures to Prussia, arrests linked to Don Garpentero, and coded letters discussing Silesia, agitation, and measures against events. Reports from Hanover, Venice, and Leghorn describe court concerns, troop assemblies, and financial loans, with Florence and Brussels supplying tactical notes. The lettered narrative covers the Brest and Toulon fleets, bread shortages in France, and Russian forces moving into Courland, plus a sea battle anecdote of a resilient shipmaster assisting in a riot.
