Embargoed Dutch Captain meets English authority aboard ship
Reports from the period describe a Dutch captain who hoisted his colors then an English pennant, was boarded by royal officers, and brought before authorities to answer for the act as an embargo on foreign vessels is laid down. The Tories and allied fleets move in operations around Choczim and Bastia with hostages and armaments flowing to Bastia and Ajaccio. News from Genoa notes Marshal Maillebois at Corte, while British naval actions include Letters of Marque and new Admirals, with supply convoys and military stores being prepared for Jamaica. The week details various intelligence on wars and commercial enforcement along with sermons and public orders.
