News of Confederate Forces in Flanders and Sailor Comforts
A mock debate reports Five Thousand Confederate troops encamped, then sixteenth thousand attack. French Bavarian foe repelled, four cannon and many standards seized. Obdam blamed for retreat to Breda. London readers call it a brave defense and a prologue to further combat in Flanders. Sailors praised for safer, warmer life at sea while land forces endure long marches and scarce rations. Prizes and privateering discuss in coffee house chatter amid anti Jewish notices.
