August 1693: Dauphin’s cautious summer victories praised

The passage notes the Dauphin’s two achievements Cearis Glorious Steps and Vidi Vici, then stopping at Vici. It claims he is wiser than Old Luxembourg and should return home to preserve his father’s army and his officers, avoiding another costly victory.

Advice from Spain on the French Fleet near Cape St Vincent

A late 17th century report describes Franco British naval movements after French fleets neared Cape St Vincent. It notes Tourville withdrawing from Lagos Road, signals judged for Cádiz and Smyrna routes, and engagements between Dutch and French ships including the Ardent and Dexphin Royal, with Dutch vessels yielding as the action shifted along the coast.
