Fray on Board Spadesmen and Hoarding Arms in Hull
During a naval action the English spadesmen attacked French soldiers aboard a damaged ship after mistaking prisoners for enemies. In Hull a council chose Conyers as Alderman for Broadstreet Ward while reports mention a Lisbon packet boat captured by French privateers and the Duke of Ormond’s arrival. Royal diplomacy notes complex peace talks with the Electoral Highness urging united Allied security and restrained separate negotiations to avoid French intrigues.
