Admiralty actions and European intrigue dominate London dispatches
A full Board of Admiralty met in London with four frigates commissioned, officers named, and promotions. a second remonstrance to the Prince Bishop of Liege over Gormanstown's custody. and Chancellor directives to move suitor business from tavern meetings to court chambers. The Commercial treaty with France boosts our navy and trade, with most ships in our intercourde British, and French export controls bite wool. Reports of Brest preparations, boxes of naval stores, and ships armed en flute bound for the West Indies or Mauritius appear, while Gibraltar is to appoint Haldimand as governor and O’Hara as lieutenant governor. A Utrecht Council of War vows to defend Amsterdam to the last, and a Cadiz anecdote recounts Capuchin monks and opium. A dubious Amsterdam seizure rumor circulates beside a sheep murrain remedy involving gunpowder and salt.
