Robberied roads improve commerce and corsair activity abroad
From Smyrna to Berne, the issue notes fewer highwaymen at night and revived trade on safer roads. Corsairs in Algiers report Dutch prizes captured near Portugal and a Lisbon to Brazil voyage disrupted. Vienna backs Trieste commerce and Mediterranean ports. Prague reports imperial coronation ceremonies and noble arrivals. Amsterdam and Brussels relay health fears from Cambray, Arras, and Artois. Ships depart and arrive across Europe and Atlantic ports as wind and disease influence travel.
