French Privateers Spur Guernsey and Jersey Reports
An extract details two French privateers with 24 and 18 guns near an island as four small privateers pursue them, misidentifying as merchants before retreating to port. The fleet had patrolled Guernsey and Jersey for ten days aiming to intercept convoys bound for the faidlands. A French navigator at Guernsey, under orders from London, confirms the privateers belong to St Mat o. An accompanying Dover letter notes broader war movement, Prague’s siege, and London Bridge tides, with stock prices and financial notices interspersed.
