Court and Naval Movements Across London and Torbay
Comte de Graffe and party dine with Earl of Shelburne at Berkley Square after earlier visits to the Royal Exchange Bank and St Paul’s. News from the Victory reports heavy rain and fog during a Torbay voyage, with Lord Howe at Spithead and ships reinforcing Plymouth and Brest-bound fleets. Admiralty notes 35 ships of the line for the grand fleet, plus additional ships to meet the combined fleets and protect home trade. Dispatches from Lisbon mention twenty Spanish ships sailing from Cadiz toward Havana.

News of naval dispatches and society notes from London
Ongoing reports from Britain include a claim of sighting a Dutch fleet near the Naze of Norway and confirmation that dispatches attributed to Sir Guy Carleton are unfounded. Capt. Asgill remains imprisoned in Chatham with limited freedom. New orders from the Hague place Adams’s negotiations on hold until American independence is acknowledged. Privateers capture seven valuable French prizes near Jersey, with several vessels reaching Quebec. Royal sail plans include a convoy for outward-bound ships, while Crillon’s wound prompts naval cautions about hastily built ships. The King, Queen, and Prince of Wales attended the Haymarket, and a proposal to gift a 74-gun ship to government surfaces at Stowmarket. Local crime, marriages, bankruptcies, and notable deaths fill the rest of the column.
