Convoy and naval orders amid distant dispatches and market notes
The issue reports Captain Lea of the Bonetta tasked for Jamaica with important dispatches, and Capt. Laws appointed to the Greenwich in place of Fleming. A Lisbon outward-bound ship, likely the Don Francisco, was captured by a Spanish privateer near Dover and taken to Dunkirk. Kingston wheat prices and prospects for crops in Kent and other regions are noted along with European military movements and diplomatic exchanges.
