Turmoil Amidst Spanish Movements and Allied News
In late December reports describe Spanish forces at Taormina and Fort la Mola abandoning posts after destroying stores, with Marquis de Lede gathering troops to march toward General Zumjüngen. Neapolitan dispatches note Zumjüngen moving toward Trapania after observing Lede’s approach from Francavilla. Siege preparations continue near Messina, while weather and heavy snow hinder fortifications.
