War news and dispatches from the Corsican conflict and Europe
The report details heavy Corsican resistance challenging Genoa and French forces, with casualties, shortages, and muttered massacres feared. It notes Bastia and other actions, Spain’s support for King Theodore, and warnings of Hungarian pestilence versus continued imperial diplomacy. Dispatches mention Lichtenstein Amelot talks, a failed 24 000 man demand, and state councils in Paris. Updates from Rotterdam and York cover convicts, marriages, and maritime losses including the Anne brigantine catastrophe. Further notes describe expresses to Gibraltar Portman and Jamaica, Marlborough’s indisposition, and a Domesday-like news flow from Dantzick and Petersburgh.
