This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''capture of Porrentruy''' was a siege of the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] town of [[Porrentruy]]. The town was held by [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]] and attacked by the [[Kingdom of France (1791-1792)|French]]. The event occurred on 28 April 1792 and resulted in victory for the French forces. This engagement marked the commencement of the [[War of the First Coalition]]. 

==Siege==
On 20 April 1792, France declared war on [[Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor]], who had presented [[Louis XVI of France]] with an ultimatum concerning the possessionary princes <!-- What is a p p? -->of the [[Alsace]] five days prior.<ref name="V">Victoires, conquêtes, désastres, revers et guerres civiles des Français, volume 7</ref> Coalition (French) forces were sluggish in exploiting their advantage, prompting [[Nicolas Luckner]], commander of the [[Armée du Rhin (1791)|Armée du Rhin]], to opt for an offensive against the stronghold of Porrentruy to avert an invasion. At the far end of the [[Basse-Alsace]], situated between Lauterbourg, Landau and Weissembourg, Luckner marshaled 12,000 men.

Luckner instructed [[Adam Philippe, Comte de Custine]], to lead an advance into the province of Porrentruy, then under the jurisdiction of the [[Prince-Bishopric of Basel]]. This measure aimed to safeguard this section of the French border from encroachment.<ref name="V" /> Accompanied by Colonel [[Charles Grangier de La Ferriere]], commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, as his second-in-command, Custine led a force of 2,000 comprising three infantry battalions, an artillery company and approximately 300 dragoons. They marched into the province and demanded surrender. Although the garrison consisted of 400 Austrian soldiers, the Prince-Bishop chose not to resist a siege and relocated the garrison to [[Bienne]]. Consequently, Custine captured Porrentruy without encountering resistance and was able to fortify his position on Laumont mountain, effectively safeguarding the valleys of [[Fribourg]], Bienne, [[Basel]] and [[Solothurn]].
