Portu Jongone dispatches amid European upheaval and naval traffic
Aug 18 Leghorn notes Felucca arrived at Porto-Jongone with dispatches for the governor and bills drawn on Florence. Spaniards and French factions influence Italy's expedition plans as flotillas from New Spain arrive. Reports from Marseilles describe embarkation preparations near Alicante and troop movements toward Pisa, Lucca, and Bologna. Milan mentions a duel in which two nobles were wounded or killed, while earthquakes near the Lakes cause damage. Falmouth and Plymouth items cover packet and merchant ship arrivals and sailings to Corunna, Holland, Oporto, and Dunkirk, with a long list of ships in port or ready for voyages.
