Merchants discuss commercial treaty and naval news
A discussion of a commercial treaty between Great Britain and the United States arises amid a meeting of merchants. Inquiries to the Chancellor of the Exchequer yield limited satisfaction. Reports note underwriters cautious about Mediterranean shipping after recent Algerine captures. The General Plot transport with artillery sank en route to Gibraltar, and the Osterley Indiaman from Madagascar reports discontent among natives over troop numbers. The Portsmouth letters mention arrivals of the Hebe frigate and Mutine cutter, with Prince William Henry in good health.
