Vast Transatlantic and Continental War News From December to January
The latest letters describe extensive war preparations in France and Spain with three large warships and three bomb vessels fitting out, 43 vessels loaded with provisions sailing to Cadiz, and Catalan levies expected to march to Aragon. In Jamaica Musquito Indians join a crackdown against runaway slaves, and riots near Aramis lead to several punishments. Reports from Bristol and London note ships sailing outward bound and crews shipping to Barbadoes and Virginia amid hurricane wrecks and slave trades.
