News of Haddock’s squadron captures and Atlantic war moves
Letters from Lisbon to Cadiz report Admiral Haddock’s squadron capturing a richly laden Carrack and freeing a Genoese ship with 23 chests of eight remainders. Ambrose in the Greyhound seized 23 chests valued at about 10000 pieces, while a Lisbon bar action left a lieutenant dead. Jamaica-bound fleets, Prizes commissions, and new sailors pour in as talks of neutrality and privateering spread.
