Court of Directors hears peace talks with Marhattas near end
The Court of Directors at India House received dispatches from Governor Hastings stating the peace negotiation with the Marhattas was nearly concluded and that the Nizam would join the Company's armies against Hyder Ally. Reports of a sea battle off Gibraltar surfaced with conflicting claims of heavy losses on both sides and unclear authenticity. Multiple ships and fleets were mentioned, with updates on arrivals, recoveries, and prizes, including Pigot's squadron and ships left at Port Royal Harbour and Cork.
