Disaster and unrest in Zant as Jew cruelties spark riot
Postscript from Dublin Gazette reports on a boy missing at the Island of Zant during Passover week and found dead on the Ses-shore. Greeks blame Jews for the death, provoking a mob that loots Jewish houses and kills one Jew. Signior Erizzo lands two Venetian warships to restore order. Jews fear mass departure but government pursues the chief instigator to prevent future disturbances. Vienna and other European updates follow, noting military actions from Barcelona to Denain, captures of officers, and strategic movements in Rhine-Zabern, Quesnoy, and Denain.
