War policy and naval plans to press the Algerines at Oran
A London letter argues Britain should aid Algiers against Spain to seize Gran and Oran, offering a port at Marfalquivir as a naval supply base and proposing interdicting Spanish routes. The piece contends that joint action with Algerines could yield strategic leverage, despite objections from pacific ministers and religious critics. It notes port news, ship movements, and public orders surrounding royal celebrations and naval readiness.
