Persian 1740 dispatches from Europe overseas and Jamaica
The Dublin Gazette reports December 1740 arrivals of British packets, bad weather delaying Admiral Vernon’s Jamaica voyage, and privateer Captain Thrasher’s raid from Portobelo. It details wrecks at Loggerhead Bay, Begnet’s drowning, and mutterings of Spanish privateers as Tartans and vessels are refitted. Further notices describe court intrigues in Vienna, Tuscany troop movements, and Ducal peril with Biron accusations and arrests across Kexholm.
