Neapolitan Court Presses Exiles and Smuggling Suspects
News from Naples to Leghorn and Hamburg reports arrests in Capua and Velletri, orders for the Dutchess de Turchiano to depart the kingdom, deserters fleeing to Abbruzzo, and a freed prisoner paying 10,000 ducats. Rome notes sixteen ringleaders jailed for a Velletri tumult, while Berwick's agent recovers jewels for the Neapolitan court. Leghorn mentions Corsican Turks and Spanish troop movements. Hambourg cites Constantinople cannon discharge and a rumored but unlikely battle between Turks and Ruffians, with Mecklembourg naming Schwerin to command troops for Russia, and Copenhagen reports three ships launched in a royal ceremony.
