Deserter reports Spanish privateers and Caribbean fort actions
An account from Fort William describes a deserter detailing privateer movements by Spanish forces, five privateers stationed there with three at sea and two in port, and notes on ships refitted and cruising. Dispatches cover Creeks, Spaniards, and colonial figures, alongside East India Company ships ordered to sail and other political and social notices from London and Dublin.
