Privateer successes and European war news toast
Postscript to the Dublin Gazette reports Jamaica privateers taking two French ships, one laden with wine and brandy and another with cargo. Captain Coleby along with a privateer sloop defeats a guard sloop and two others, bringing in five ships and gifting two to French and Spaniards. The piece details French perfidy, plunder in the Valley of St Martin, evacuation of Savoy, troop movements near Grenoble and Lyons, and Allied campaigns with dispatches from Brussels to Audenarde and Dyn.
