Paris News on Sraxtsu Freer Mutiny Report Failing
The Paris papers hail the failure of the Sraxtsu Freer from Cadiz as a packet from Liteon arrives with original advices. Reports of mutiny aboard the Tagus ships circulated before Cadiz sailed to draw off ships, while Admiral Parker aimed to lure the Spanish fleet outward. Updates note Lisbon mail arrivals, the Caroline frigate rescued near Barbary, and the loss of the Hamadiyad frigate. American disturbances in Vermont and New York show tensions over stamp duties and disaffection toward the federal government. The Exchequer loan is postponed to Friday for a one million pound issue.
