British News Sketches From 1780s Europe and Atlantic
A garbled dispatch fills with notices of ships captured by the French, naval movements off Madagascar and the Channel, and reports from Virginia and New York. It mentions Admiral Rodney in action, the Jamaica Fleet arrival, and a Paris government shift under M. de Fleury. Also records distress relief, stock trade, and local Dublin notices on annuities and debts.
