Admiralty News and Naval Movements Amid War News
Reports describe Dutch and Swedish vessels loading for Italy and Portugal in the river, with feared captures by Spaniards and warnings of endangered cargoes. Letters recount transport ships colliding at St Helens and minor losses, while Admiralty expands command with two bomb-ketches under Hewett and Buckingham. The Swedes and Russians discuss peace terms and succession arrangements, and corn harvest prospects are favorable. Messages from Charleston, Jamaica, and Gibraltar note Spanish privateers, fleet movements, and upcoming convoys, with various ships sighted or pursued and preparations for potential hostilities.
