Letters from general Staremberg’s camp at Balaguer say, that great sums of money having been lately brought by 7 British men of war to Barcelona, the same was remitted to the army, and all the officers and soldiers paid 7 months arears, which has so animated them, being 40,000, including Miquelets, that we speedily expect to hear of a battle on that side. From Barcelona, that words arising between the prince of Hesse Darmstadt and general Staremberg, they were goeing to fight, but prevented by king Charles. From Genoa, that the prince of Tursis, upon some disgust, had with the Spanish gallies under his command joined a squadron of the confederate fleet, and gone to Barcelona to make his submission to king Charles.
