Siege and Actions Across Atlantic Commands in 1781
A lengthy excerpt reports heavy casualties among British and English allied forces, with 1700 defenders and many Native forces facing siege and counterattaques. Commodore Solano’s squadron aided land operations, including an attempted capture of Kort St. George and interference by Spanish forces. The document recounts the bombardment, prisoner details, and a narrative of field maneuvers, with mentions of various naval figures and ships, plus market prices and notices from the London Gazette and Paris dispatches. The text moves through military movements, privateering outcomes, and intelligence on fleets in the Atlantic, concluding with local notices, theatre advertisements, and public notices in Ireland.
