War and Peace Rumors From London to Gibraltar
Letters and reports recount the easing of hope for a Gibraltar surrender while European powers debate terms with the Allies. News from Paris and Holland notes conflicting views on the Emperor's stance, with protests in Ireland over the de Male Bill and further dispatches about Spanish privateers and a new Spanish warship captured by the Royal Oak. Drownings near Hampstead and the ongoing flux of naval orders color the period’s anxious outlook.
