Inactivity in Saxony as Prussian and Allied Forces Pause
Reports from Saxony describe Marshal Daun’s and Frederick the Great’s armies avoiding major engagements near Dresden and Meissen. Both sides appear cautious, seeking time while negotiations gain leverage. Overseas, Burgundy’s safety is noted and Swiss guards gains. Local skirmishes involve patrols along the Elbe and actions near Zwickau with several captives and horse losses.
