The newsletters contain much information about the War of the Grand Alliance, particularly rumors of diplomatic negotiations and naval campaigns; the Holy Roman Empire's relations with the Turks; and trade with the colonies in America and the East Indies. Other topics include possible plots against William and Mary; the conduct of the nonjuring bishops; the election of Innocent XII; and the death and funeral of Queen Mary.
