Fleet news from the Leeward Islands and Baltic convoy orders
An express from Cowes reports the homeward fleet from the Leeward Islands has arrived off the Isle of Wight under convoy of the Preston and Robust. The Miss Parker from Jamaica reached Liverpool claiming the fleet sails for England on July 16, with no outward fleet planned for August 1. Admiral Rodney expected to leave the Island as the second outward fleet arrived. An Adriatic express notes Captain Dacres of the Perseus at Elfineur seeking reinforcement due to dangerous voyage home amid a Dutch squadron in the North Seas. Admiral Kempenfelt is ordered with eight line of battleships to the North Seas to convoy Baltic trade home. A Gibraltar relief fleet waits in Torbay for the North Seas squadron. Sir James Wright, ex-Governor of Georgia, has arrived in Ireland aboard the Princess Caroline. Loyalist estates have been sold by the usurpers.

Early 18th Century London News Bursts with Naval Moves and Crimes
A crowded London column reports recall letters from Sir George Rodney and Admiral Hood’s health, ships sailing for Leeward Islands, the Mersey burning at Jamaica, the Black Prince captured by Anson, and prize money distribution. It notes Orestes to Portland Road for coastal defense, harvest prospects in the north, a clerk’s embezzlement, a burglary at Edgware, executions at Kennington Common, and various marriages and appointments across England and Scotland.
Stock Market Fragments From Paring Notes
Fragmentary stock figures show figures like 726 and 54 with percentages. The readable bits reference parig notes and long annuities, with brief mentions of rates and prices. The text is sparse and lacks complete names or events for fuller interpretation.
Bristol Scene and Maritime News From August
A Bristol record lists arrivals and departures of ships from many ports including Doubling the Savannah la Mar and Antigua. It notes the Leeward Island fleet, a bark run down and foundered, and a privateer capture near George Town. Local weather, river floods, a near drowning, ship accidents, and multiple marriages, deaths, and public notices are reported with names, places, and dates.
