British Admiralty Shifts and Privateer News Reach Barbadoes
Letters from multiple ports report ministerial changes at the Admiralty with Corbet elevated as joint secretary while Burchett steps back due to infirmities. Privateer Triumph Snow sails from the River for Dover and a Franco-British tension grows as French positions near Luxembourg are cited. Barbadoes dispatches note a Spanish brig taken with 100+ slaves and wine, plus Admiral Vernon’s capture of Havana, amid currency and customs moves and local town incidents.
