A long dispatch describes arrivals from the George Privateer under Capt. Axel with cargoes of cocoa and dry goods. It notes eight ships for a planned expedition against Spain, movements of sloops and ships to Holland, and orders for the fleet under Lord Cathcart. Timber, oil contracts for navy use, and various naval appointments and deployments are detailed, including Handel’s visit and the King of France’s maritime measures.
