War dispatches from Saxony and Europe in late Nov
Reports from Berlin and Paris detail Prussian advances toward Dresden with forces including life guards and gendarmes moving from Silesia to Saxony. King orders more troops to Torgau as Daun sits in Dresden. News also covers Brunian’s arrest, a fatal hurricane on the French capital, executions at the Bastille, and peacetime preliminaries signed at Fontainebleau with possible colonial terms. Shipping news notes vessels sailing to America and in port at Spithead and the Downs. In London, theatre listings conclude the period with performances at Drury Lane and Covent Garden.
