Great Armada Embarkation Tabled Amid War Preparations
Viceroy orders reinforced sea ports as a Madrid dispatch hints at major Spanish developments. News from Florence and Genoa recounts earthquakes, storms, and royal processions, with Barbary corsairs active near Naples and Sardinian Gallies engaging Tunis and Algerine vessels. In Schaffhausen, mediation debates continue among rival Ligues. London items note court visits, debtors’ relief, and a choked Ringsend death, plus markets and theater listings.
