Reads like a late 18th century dispatch detailing shipwrecks near May, royal proclamations from Naples, Austrian troop movements, fortresses, and mutinies in Haiti. It notes evacuations, proclamations by Provisional Juntas, and harsh actions against insubordination, with references to Magistes, Roma ine, and Cape Haitien.
An 1800s-press style piece reports military plans involving St Antonio and Cajun figures, with numbers forecast for 11 000 troops and a push inland. It also recounts a comically bizarre case where a man swallowed brass gram weights thinking they were a bolus, recovered, while the doctor’s remedy was misread as treacle.
A fragmentary historical note recounts Dryden as a poor man plotting with the Duke of Buckingham to offer verses on a chosen topic. The arbiter reviews the poems, exposing a lack of discipline and taste while noting debts and the demand for payment.
The text sketches a tangled scene in a colonial setting with the Duke of Osuna as viceroy and references to ships, slaves, and punishment. Names and actions appear garbled, but imply a confrontation about fences, captains, and liberty for some crew members while others face confinement.
