Prussia gains manpower as war widens and Royal edict favors neutral ships
Reports from Leipzig and Saxony claim Prussia's army is 70,000 stronger since the conflict began, with officers reviewing regiments and youths discharged for two years. News notes Silesia's loyalty to the king, a Swedish edict promising safe passage for neutral ships, and delays to Rotterdam cargo amid a distillery bill. Also details executions, noble announcements, a lecture scrutiny, and a Thames street fire that devastates Barrow and Reynolds oil shop, Black Horse, warehouses, and church leads with casualties and explosions.
