London reports Capture of the Dunkirk privateer L Escamateur by Captain Thomas Kelly of the Fly after a five hour chase off Munsley. The letter also relays news from Gibraltar of a French and Spanish assault, heavy bombardment, and significant British and allied gains inclining to a decisive defense with numerous artillery and naval actions.
Gibraltar Gun Boats Destroyed in Bold Rock Cavern Siege
In a dramatic defense at Gibraltar, troops repelled a land assault with slaughter as gun-boats and floating batteries were set ablaze within an improvised caverned rock shelter. Governor and garrison workers heated cannons to fire upon the enemy, destroying seventeen boats in under an hour. Dispatches note allied fleets near Cadiz and Virginia, with British officers connected to notable peerage. News from Paris and Newfoundland corroborates shifting front lines and credit to Scots garrison leadership. A Dublin merchant recently arrived reports Parisian fear over royal Princes, while other reports of forts in Hudson’s Bay being seized are questioned. Public notices include regimental renamings and a bank robbery arrest in London. The storm toll records two Brundish boys struck by lightning, one killed, the other left grievously injured.
