British Packets Bring News of Snow and War Sparks
Reports from Paris and Alicant describe ships pushed ashore by storms and a great snowfall in Ireland and France, with fleets harassed by weather and enemy action. Dispatches note mutinous volunteers near Lerida repelled, heavy casualties and prisoners, and naval forces mobilizing along Catalonia, Malaga, and the Levant. In Britain, political and military movements unfold as the Earl of Sutherland and Lord Lovat negotiate terms with rebel forces, while the Pretender remains near Scoon amid royal efforts to stabilize the Highlands.
