Disordered report from Milan to London on war and politics
The letters describe ongoing money struggles after capitulation to the imperial powers. Marquess de Botta faces quarrels with Sardinia and the English, while Milan readies to host Prince Charles of Lorraine with 30,000 Piedmontese and 28,600 others. Austria presses for more support as Piedmont moves on Ventimiglia Nice. Reports from Hague and Berlin note battle losses, prisoner captures, and strategic shifts toward winter quarters. London sources add details of French and British actions around Liege and Brittany, plus parries in Scotland and Ireland.
