Garrison of Fortress of Zant guards with daily watch
Reports from Bristol via Zant and Gibraltar describe a strict garrison at the fortress with 700 men mounting guard each morning and severe whipping for any soldier failing the watch word. Spaniards would face a warm reception if attacked. Royal notes cover Queen Caroline and rising Ottoman and Corsican moves, plus mourning orders in London.
