Fragmented Royal Navy War News and Trade Disruptions
Long dispatches report prorogation of Parliament, royal assent to bills, and Haddock's squadron capturing Spanish ships. News from Majorca, Port Mahon, Ferrol, Bayonne, and Antigua detail privateer actions, ships sunk or captured, and Spanish efforts to disrupt British trade. Reports mention widening streets in Paris and vine losses in Burgundy, with Cornwall and Folkestone incidents.
