Reprisal dispute over Woolbail register ship and Spanish seizure
From Cadiz to Carolina to Jamaica the Woolbail register ship was carried as reprisal. Captain Kent’s Jamaica voyage to London was seized by Spanish guard Gofta at Campechy, the governor detaining crew. Aubin demanded restitution but received no satisfactory response. Directors of the South Sea Company pressed for action as warnings rose. News also notes Corsican chiefs released, tax receipts, and naval officer relief plans amid broader European moves.
