Dublin Journal: Relentless siege updates and civic notices
The Dublin Journal reports from Belgrade and the Danube conflict where Turkish redoubts resist Allied siege efforts. It notes detachments crossing by boat, cannon and gabions prepared to preserve Belgrade communications, and casualties including a captain and a major of engineers. Public notices warn traders to prove fair practices and announce shipping goods for Holyhead. Washington-like praise to Lord Jocelyn and a verse tribute to Sir John Fortescue accompany local notices about fires, bridge damage, and a royal visit.
