Turbulent War News From France and London Letters
A Belgrade dated July 13 letter reports a Turkish detachment of over 6000 men attacking the Rani post on the Danuffe side, Baron de Kotwitz defending with 40 men before being overwhelmed. Turks massacred many, took the post, and the garrison suffered as Orfova and Cornia battles cut losses. Augusta bourbon wine distributed to troops. Wiltshire trials condemn felons and public punishments. London reports Spain’s response and rising war talk, with reinforcements, shipping preparations, and a new port defense program. Society notices include births, marriages, and gin act prosecutions alongside Stock Exchange, naval, and royal household items. A violent Dunstable storm closes the item.
