Peace in Extrepe and Turmoil Across Europe
A Rome letter dated Sept 1 reports papal moves to block Juliers Bergues accommodation to protect Catholic interests. Neapolitan authorities tighten limits with Ecclesiastical State inhabitants, while Spain presses demands and the Pope resists further concessions. Reports detail a grand Spanish naval expedition, Turkish slave escapes via Corfica, Genoa and Florence disputes, and Neapolitan skirmishes on coastlines. Ratisbon notes a papal brief opposing Revocation of the fourth article of the Treaty of Ryswick, though Catholic princes favor revocation for regional tranquility.
