Warlike News From May to London and Helsinki
Fragmentary notes recount frostbound rivers reopening, papal conclave chatter with Cardinal Casanial Gout tipped for the Pontificate, and court moves in Berlin. Admiralty actions include Scarborough Indiaman, Jamaica convoy cannons, and a Dutch paper rumor about Cardinal Fleury.
