Campaign News From London on Bavaria and Bavarian Elector
A London letter reports two mailable dispatches describing a skirmish between General Schlick and Bavarians in a forest near Passau. Confederates pierced enemy lines, killed many, seized cannon and money, and rumors claim the Elector of Bavaria is missing. The writer casts this as prologue to a broader summer contest, noting French aims and Bavarian loyalty. The piece questions Bavaria’s sovereignty and explains his marriage to Austria’s archduchess ties him to the Empire, while predicting regional shifts toward the Emperor if Bavaria allies with France.
