Fragmented late eighteenth century dispatches mix in wars and trades
A mixed report from Petersburg to Cadiz details ships, armaments, and cargoes including numerous vessels, corn, linen, and gunpowder. It notes court intrigues, health scares, and political shifts across Britain, France, Hungary, and the Ottoman Porte, with troubling incidents of arson in Woodrock and Hamptworth Wood.
