Rumors of Spanish Moroccan War and Allied Preparations
The Dublin Gazette reports dispatches from St Groix noting continued civil war in Morocco despite a naval victory for King Male y Abdallah. The siege persists, with Governor encamped outside Sula, revenues and supplies rising for cavalry and field works, and fleets preparing transports from Cadiz to Alicant. Letters describe armaments, artillery, powder, provisions, and defensive fortifications as Spain, Catalonia, and Oran ready for anticipated action. Venetian ambassador Lefle travels to Madrid awaiting succession news.
