Minerva and Swift Reach Clyde from Jamaica Fleet
The Minerva and Swift of the Jamaica fleet arrived in Clyde after parting from the convoy on the 1yth. A strong gale on the 24th ult. scattered many ships. The Four Brothers Geesa left Port Royal on 76th of July last under convoy to touch Port Antonio then sail for England around the 26th. Two pieces of Plate were shown at Lloyds Coffee House to honor Capt. Torry and Captain Warmarine for convoying ships from the West Indies in June. The piece reports reflect revolutionary turmoil in France with accusations of royalist involvement and a critique of the Directory. A council member notes assassins aided by tribunals and reports frequent royalist murders in Vaucluse as the Revolution is praised. Finances unify factions though spoils await division. A joke on a four-year service requirement for a wife follows, then a duty account on starch from July 1797 to July 1798 by London starch makers.
