Nightly movements of Guards and dignitaries in Ireland and Britain
Details of nine Companies of His Majesty's First Regiment of Foot Guards quartered in Kent arrive at night with baggage while other battalions march to London. Nobles travel to Paris, Domestics depart for Ireland, and a large storm in Scotland causes misfortune. Dispatches note Spain proposing commissions, freeing the Charles Brigantine, and plans for Italian and Corsican expeditions. Reports from Cadiz, Barcelona, Genoa, Algier, and Dublin mention naval concerns, troop transports, and local appointments.
