Voyage Peril and Naval Dispatches Reach Dublin
A fragment describes Captain Nailor's voyage aboard the Providence bound for London, with officers reporting favorable conditions and seeking satisfaction from Spain’s depredations. It cites Caribbean incidents, Jamaica reports, and Commodore St Lee’s instructions to counter attacks. Notices announce half pay officers must report commission dates and service. Worldwide arrivals and ships with cargoes at Dublin Port are listed, alongside advertisements for Clover Seed and Grass Seeds and a merchant notice about seamen and agents in Dublin.
