Many Events Reported Across Courts and Seas
A late issue catalogs incidents and naval movements in Europe and abroad. It notes a spate of robberies at Dartford, fires in Shelburne’s house, plans for naval actions near the Downs, protections for Lisbon trade, and flotilla movements including the William and Mary and other ships. Reports from Madrid, Cadiz, and The Hague discuss Spain’s conditions, South Sea Company assets, a commerce treaty with France, and Dutch trade measures. Whaling gains rise for the Dutch, while English forces in Ireland and the West prepare. A Rome advancement names Mazini Legate. Trevor becomes Dean of Norwich. Major shipments from Dublin and Dunkirk and ordnance exported to the West Indies are listed, with an anticipated ambassadorial return from Cambis.
