Fleet equipp'd at Brest and alert for sail
Paris reports Brest fleet fully equipped with five ships ready to sail, followed by the rest. Petersburg letters note Russia reluctant to publish the Peace Treaty with the Porte, raising suspicions it favors neither side. Hanover dispatches from July reveal Prince William of Hesse-Hasel’s departure after visit, while Norris’s squadron sails to join the fleet. Reports from Rhode Island and Virginia detail coastal defenses and local fortifications, including St George’s repair and armament.
