Politic and military dispatches from Europe and America
Yesterday's mail from Holland reports French intrigue in Paris involving Baron Korff the Russian envoy and money offers to sway Swedish, Polish, and German states. War preparations loom in Bohemia and Moravia with 30 000 troops, while Marshal Saxe gains favor in France and Belleisle may command in Provence. A European naval duel near St Domingo pits Conflans against an English squadron. Don Philip is not returning home as expected and English plans to reinforce winter defenses are noted. The Paris court and Antwerp to Madrid communications reflect shifting alliances and major diplomatic moves. In Sweden, Wrede and Plomgren face scrutiny for questionable conduct at the embassador’s court. A sailor’s tale details engagements of the Terrible and Neptune against English ships near Cape Francois with mixed losses.
