Seville court talks with Moroccan claimant amid Gibraltar tensions
On June 26 mail from Cadiz reports Moorish prince Muley Hamet seeking throne, offering Oran and Tangier in exchange for aid, and a distant audience with the Spanish royal family. Embassies from Muley Abdallah and French and British ministers seek favorable terms as troop reinforcements reach Gibraltar and Porto Bello’s fair is delayed. Dresden and Hamburg dispatches note a royal pardon with strict conditions for Hoym, and Denmark renews a France subsidy treaty. Debrief includes ships moving from Deal and Bristol reports.
