The Privateer off Dunkirk and Lord Admiral Hints
A fragmentary report from the Dublin Journal describes Privateer actions off Dunkirk, a ship recaptured from Dunkirk by British forces, and references to naval figures and orders. It mentions a commander rising in rank, ship fittings at Deptford, and tensions between England and allied powers. The piece also touches on prisoner handling and American captives in a broader wartime context.

London and American war news from the era
In Edinburgh reports say about four hundred men landed at Leewink Bay and were defeated by Southern forces defending the town. Admiralty letters describe encounters near Shoreham, Worthing, and a Gibraltar engagement with a Spanish Algerine fleet. French dispatches note General Rochambeau's health and a policy limiting payments to Congress notes, with strict controls on exchange and public funds.
