Contemplated warfare reports from Europe and Caribbean ships
A long digest covers multiple items from The Dublin Gazette dated August 16 to 20, 1737. It notes Dutchy tribunals swearing fidelity to the Duke of Lorraine, the Electress dowager's claim, troop movements toward Tur gay and Siena, and Baron de Wachtendonck’s measures. Vienna reports the imperial army in Niffa, a declaration offering protection to Ottoman subjects, and strict discipline for soldiers. It also mentions Moldavia and Bo felia taxes, Danube galleys, and regu lations on trade between Court of Madrid and New Spain. Canterbury weather and damage at Canterbury Cathedral follow, with Nevis letters lost after a ship captured by a Spanish man of war, and Bristol and other ships seized near Hispaniola. The London note recounts the death of Lady Mary Gore and high society mourning. A Turkish action is described as well, last month’s fire in Constantinople.
