Corsairs Captured Vessel and Fleet Movements
Reports from Barcelona and Hamburg describe Corsairs of Sallee seizing a French ship with 36,000 pieces of eight and fourteen Portuguese merchants. Transports are to be secured for winter, with many vessels already at the Mole in Barcelona. Other dispatches note empires seeking Russians, subsidies to the Emperor’s state, and military preparations across Lombardy, Tyrol, and Hanover, as well as court moves in Hamburg and Vienna.
