Wars and politics sweep European fronts in 1760 dispatches
A long letter from Petersburgh, dated May 16, discusses how measures by ministers, potential peace preliminaries, and indemnification to Saxony impact the current crisis. Reports from The Hague, Dresden, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Naples reveal naval buildups, ship outlays, and new regiments. Experimental economic theories warn of northern empire decline, while English and Dutch vessels clash near Helvoetsluis and a convoy plans depart Spithead for Portugal and the Mediterranean.
