Letters from the Hague on Saxon troop movements and European diplomacy
Advices from Dresden report Saxon troops still guarding the Electorate frontiers and no orders for joining Queen of Hungary’s forces. The Polish monarch seeks 12,000 soldiers for a 120,000 sterling subsidy over three years, with Great Britain and the States General debating shares. Vienna appears cautious, while Franchefort alliances and empire-wide support shape plans. Paris and Berlin hint at further Franco-Spanish Piedmont actions and Sardinia developments.
