Arrivals and Dispatches from Broadside Sea Commerce
From Cadiz to Holland vessels bring tidings of fleet movements in the Caribbean and Europe. A British squadron under Sir Charles Wager pursues activity near Porto Bello and Havana as cargoes of high value move or are seized. Reports mention the Grand Duke’s support, court gossip on royal pregnancies, and missions to Florence and Turin. Local notices advertise John Moore’s worm medicines and related remedies with nationwide distribution.
