Palatinates of Prussia and Saxon Movements Reported
The Nov 11 dispatch from Dantzick notes Palatinates of Prussia Mariembourg and Russia executing the King's orders and assembling in the Radom plain to await further commands. Count Pacey gains reinforcements to join Crown Army against Cracovia while Potocki eye opportunities against the enemy. Reports claim Saxon troops entering Ponania may be followed by 15000 more under Count de Wackerbarth. The piece cites Lard and Wackerbarth regarding electoral coercion and confederacy oaths. Further, fortifications are ordered as garrisons are established across several places. From Dantzick extracts, Ringecantians mourn, and Pole news denies a Russian defeat. At Picghstone, siege efforts resume with French artillery, a 500-strong garrison, casualties, and renewed batteries. Sardinian King supports a trench attack as a German general faces tensions with Villars.
