Sci: Edinburgh Chronicle 1759 outlines French and British maneuvers
The Edinburgh Chronicle reports Allied near front lines and French supply movements from Francfort to Gien and the Florissant warship arrival at Cadiz. It notes Sir Piercy Brest’s cruise from the Downs aboard Isis with Woolwich Aurora and Aquilon, Pitt’s condolence to Mrs Wolfe, Wolfe and Amherst as Kent natives, and a Jew’s defection with 40 000 in bills. Ship movements include Achilles at Quebec Bay, Norwich, Intrepid, and Cambridge dockside. Atlantic news from Portmouth, Spithead, and Gravesend list ships arriving or sailing, while stock prices and press dispatches from London and Edinburgh reflect wartime uncertainty.
