French India Company ships in Cadiz and Peruvian action
An old Gazette reports Advices from Cadiz and Peru. French India Company ships under Mr du Bay Clerc faced shortages as governors refused provisions and forced sail to Pisco. In Chilean waters, ships burned and men hanged for illegal imports. At Vienna and The Hague reports mention war anxieties and a delegation seeking imperial title for Russia. London meanwhile notes poll-book deliveries at Guildhall and political shifts as Parliament adjourns.
