Grand Entertainment in Hague on Anniversary of King's Birthday
News from Hague recalls a lavish gathering hosted by Mr Walpole with two tables of forty covers and fine provisions. The Prince of Orange attended, praising their High Mightinesses, while speculation swirls about absent Count d Uhlefeldt and missing Russian ambassador. A humorous Italian Confederate Army letter follows, lamenting a winter campaign and Imperialist moves in Italy. The writer laments hardships, recounts past victories near Parma and Mirandola, and notes efforts to starve enemy troops, including blocking supplies from the Ecclesiastical State. A mission is sent to Brescia to curb Venetian provisioning, with hopes to defeat foes by sword pestilence or famine.
