Fragments on Military Movements and Shipping News
Duffeldorp dated December 23 reports cannon planted for new battalions and reinforced gunners and engineers. Monks of the Abbey of Oryal seek to return to their cloister under conditions. Bonward reports the Flector of Cologn arrived from Munster. Cowes and Southampton notices detail ships docking and departures for Seville, London, Oporto, and Jersey. A Loo Man of War and a square-sterned vessel, possibly Capt. Somerset, arrived with cheese as wind blows northeast.
