London News of Naval Movements and Storm Damage
Private letters from Rome and Genoa describe French preparations at Toulon and political maneuvering in Rome. Reports from Corsica note a fierce hurricane damaging towns and olive groves, with long recovery ahead. News from Vienna and Constantinople mention troop reform and a grand vizier gift. Admiral Vernon’s fleet is in good condition, with many sailors enlisting. A stormy week brings ship losses, trials in London courts, and a cavalcade of dispatches from The Hague and Madrid.
