European War Mediation Amidst Piedmont News and Siege Rumors
The report describes Europe’s states refraining from direct involvement, acting as mediators instead, amid continuing war news from Piedmont. Confederates retreat from Boufoling after engagements near Gol de Fenefire and along the Doria, while Catinat advances to Perouza with twenty battalions. Count Piofafqua moves to seize Gol de Benestre, the Confederates occupy the hilltop positions but are pressed by French forces, suffering heavy losses and prisoners. The French plan to ensconce again near St Ambroise and Avigliana as winter quarters loom. Reports claim Meztmelian’s reduction is imminent, though garrison extremities and fortress undermining threats circulate. The death of Abbot de Villars in Florence and the passing of Benferade mark clerical losses, with critiques of Ovid in Rondels by the late scholar’s supporters.
